Appreciate the sentiment, but we are now one of the worst...

...teams in D1, and haven't showed much upside since the losing streak started. I don't get the "he tried", let's all be cool with where we are b/c hey, people left and NIL. To offer a counter he's failed to capitalize on the great historic turnaround in 2022: - 2023 was an NCAA team in MYs words. He got the pieces he wanted, but the team still fell apart after Cattoor's injury and were never consistent enough on the defensive end to get that bid. - 2024 his moves in the portal didn't pay off, but we again looked to be an NCAA team (although weaker than 2023) but couldn't play consistent enough defensively (again). If he's such a great coach, I don't follow why he couldn't sort things out defensively for a 2nd year in a row. - Then we have this year, flipped the whole roster. While I get the NIL excuse, he brought in the pieces and we aren't just down, we are border line an embarrassment when you compare what the last decade has looked like. On the positive, our last two classes on paper look really promising, just missed out on two prospects that would have made this year's class one of VT's best since SGs last. To me MY needs some serious help to adopt to the new world. Hopefully he's asking for it behind the scenes. Publicly, he just seems frustrated with no answers, trying to replicate what's worked in the past. I get he's a great man, but VT is supposed to be big time D1 program and he's paid $3M to figure things out. Instead, we're not even competitive against our peers and buy-games are a toss-up.

Despite this year, I want to give CMY credit for what he tried to build

Nobody is cool with where we are. Let’s be clear that we all hate losing

Don't forget David N'Guessan - 14 ppg, 7 reb, 2 ass. at K-State**

NIL is not an excuse for the depths this program has sunk to.

There's a a big difference between "sharing an opinion" and lobbing digital

It's not all on Mike Young's shoulders

Nah, that's not what happened. Your information is wrong.

NIL started 6/21. Wanna guess how much NIL cash VT athletics as a whole had

He lost the guard because he didn't vet him properly. Miller is a cheat**

Is NIL the only reason everyone left? I find it odd we have not been able
GUS 12/06/24 09:24 PM ET
I’d like to know more than that
Cosmo 12/07/24 12:55 AM ET
Rice was not NIL related. He wanted to tell CMY when he wanted to come back

I don’t know anything, but the only thing that makes sense to me about how
