I started losing it with the one and dones.

When the NBA stopped taking players directly from high school and the one and done philosophy became a part of the game, I started to lose interest. One positive thing that seemed to happen was that it seemed to level the playing field and smaller schools with an experienced team that played together for a couple of years could successfully challenge the blue bloods. The transfer portal and NIL may end the capability of a fielding a team that plays together for a couple of years.

Think it depends on which players you ask.
NC Hoke • 12/23/24 06:08 PM ET
While not a reason for me to give up watching this team, it does take much
NC Hoke • 12/22/24 04:55 PM ET
I stopped enjoying Duke basketball when K went one and done
WildTurkE • 12/23/24 11:17 AM ET
I thought it was probably that way for Blueblood fans when they went one
NC Hoke • 12/23/24 04:51 PM ET
Yep, Most fans are only winner fans. Lots of fair weather fans. I'm going

Many ok w/ overmatched but competent but not overmatched AND incompetent.**
marcbvtgm • 12/23/24 05:51 PM ET
I just dont care about basketball, but I will watch if they are good.

VT is fielding one of the worst D1 MBB teams in the country, no one...
GoldCoast • 12/23/24 08:19 AM ET
Sadly VT hoops fans have a long history of being bandwagon
Vippie1 • 12/23/24 07:32 AM ET
You can't compare Looserville or Syracuse basketball to Hokie basketball.
Atlee Hokie • 12/23/24 12:22 PM ET
This is how it works at football schools. I'm glad people even care if we
BioVTjunkie • 12/23/24 12:17 PM ET
Hard honest truth. I’ve been a fan since Dale Solomon days
hokiepro • 12/23/24 08:05 AM ET
Do you think Coach Young will be at VT for at least the next 3 years?**
MKD • 12/23/24 10:40 AM ET
nope. I think he may leave after this season. He and his wife don't

This.
NC Hoke • 12/23/24 05:06 PM ET
I agree
Midwestguy • 12/23/24 12:12 PM ET
They could go 0-30 and I would still watch
HokiesACC2004 • 12/23/24 05:27 AM ET
Its not just the fact that they are losing its just with TP & NIL i just

My fan history is like yours ...but even I have to admit they are making it
I love VT! • 12/22/24 05:30 PM ET
Until we have a cap on NIL, this will trend in the wrong way for VT

Not really it's hard to get excited with the style we are playing

“Style of play” looks better when shots are made **
hokiepro • 12/22/24 02:19 PM ET
Apparently our shots don't fall very often.**

This year’s team isn’t poorly coached
hokiepro • 12/22/24 02:22 PM ET
Agree. In the St Joe’s game we had multiple guys showing they could drive

Yea, Cattoor had us spoiled for 4 years and his replacement isn't there yet**
ancient alien 2018 • 12/22/24 05:15 PM ET
Disagree. This year is demonstrating MY's coaching inflexibility.
Gobbler Guru • 12/22/24 05:10 PM ET
it really comes down to PG.. with Miller this team is much more competitive

WOJO • 12/22/24 05:13 PM ET
Ben Burnham’s PER coming to VT doesn’t suggest that,
NC Hoke • 12/22/24 04:43 PM ET
It might suggest he is playing a higher level opposition as well. I think
uber hokie • 12/22/24 10:00 PM ET
It could suggest that.
NC Hoke • 12/22/24 11:06 PM ET
poorly constructed by the coach and or coaching staff?**
