It’s mostly about NIL. CMY lost 4 of his starters to NIL.

He wouldn’t need to play Rech or Young major minutes if those guys were still here. Those 4 starters playing together won 18 games last year. There’s no reason to think that they would not have won even more games this year with the ACC being down as it is. The last thing we need now is CMY to step down. We need money for players. What you are seeing right now is what happens when you don’t pay to retain your best players. It really is that simple.

Can we have an honest discussion on this staff and why NIL is just another

If we would have paid Pedulla and Kidd, this team would be solid

3 of those had weaknesses that IMHO are not going to go away. Padulla is
jrc3rd • 01/09/25 04:55 PM ET
Yeah but it is a fact they still won 18 games playing together last year
NC Hoke • 01/09/25 06:42 PM ET
It’s everything. Talent, coaching, team play, development, confidence. **

It shouldn't be lost on anyone...

It shouldn't be lost on anyone that if we ignored many of your predictions
catdaddy • 01/09/25 10:53 AM ET
With the exception of bad predictions, I have a perfect track record
GCHokie34 • 01/09/25 11:02 AM ET
That does sound dumb. That's not at all what the previous poster wrote

HOKIE75-79 • 01/09/25 11:37 AM ET
So we finish strong to get to your 18-13 record? **
catdaddy • 01/09/25 11:10 AM ET
Guard play is killing us, though I will note...

Schutt seems to have no

He's really not a good defender according to CMY. His job is to knock

So synonymous like Hooker in football. Whether its retaining or development
HokieRat • 01/09/25 10:32 AM ET
Not sure how you define “ finding success” and I didn’t take the time to
uber hokie • 01/11/25 11:41 AM ET
The key point that is being missed is roster continuity. Yes, we’ve lost
VT One • 01/09/25 10:05 AM ET
Yes, I agree but have those players developed and progressed
catdaddy • 01/09/25 09:21 AM ET
Pedulla didn't improve? Come on now.**
GretnaHokie • 01/09/25 10:41 AM ET
There are some things they can't admit if they wanna push a narrative **

Cattoor, Aluma, Kidd, all improved substantially here…

Nail head meet hammer.**

PER numbers highlight poor guard play...
Diehard Hokie • 01/09/25 09:17 AM ET
I'm shocked at how much Young and Rechsteiner have underperformed
