Is there any chance to bring him back? Don't know why he would but once

in the portal, it's not completely over is it? But, OTOH, doesn't this usually mean he's negotiated a deal elsewhere if he's a kid with a lot of potential?

Why should his walk of shame be any different than any coach who has left

The first part is true. No idea on the second part.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/24/25 11:38 AM ET
Any indication about whether shutting him down was strategic on his part?
nvpbrown • 03/24/25 01:38 PM ET
And as far as that second part goes...

Does make you wonder how our $ stacks up. Even for VT he is a relatively

Best guess, "grass is greener" or "show me the money"**

Is it him or his agent/people telling him he can get a better deal?**

Will a top tier team take a chance on him or will he end up with

Depends what teams are looking for and what he's looking for

What is his injury history?**

I'm assuming he wasn't asked to leave?

The new "Rodney Rice" I'm 100% not surprised. He never played many minutes**

This is so frustrating. Tech pays his tuition, room, and board for a year

That's the way of professional sports these days.**

He redshirted**

He played in 5 games.**

Medical redshirt**

He's going to need a very lenient NCAA interpretation of the rules to get

No...pretty standard actually**

Playing sporadically in 5 games across 2 months, then deciding the injury

Did he collect NIL $$ from this past season?**
EDGEMAN • 03/24/25 11:47 AM ET
No clue...and not sure it matters?
GCHokie34 • 03/24/25 01:35 PM ET
Just curious what we got for our money...
EDGEMAN • 03/24/25 01:45 PM ET
What exactly would you do with that information?
GCHokie34 • 03/24/25 03:48 PM ET
A "shot on goal" with a highly rated kid. Injury is just a risk you take.**

Question, Jaydon Young, why isn't he listed on 247 portal site?

The men’s basketball team is a dumpster fire

Maybe not such a bad thing, as bad as we were this past season
Zanderhokie • 03/24/25 11:23 AM ET
You obviously know that we won’t have a team next year..🙈
jagerhokie • 03/24/25 10:52 AM ET
Right now, I'm not sure I would miss it too much if we didn't have a team
LXNTN_HOKIE • 03/25/25 01:32 AM ET
You can broaden it. Men’s college basketball is a dumpster fire.

Sure there is..Poteat entered the portal last season too

Hate that. I was really hoping to keep this kid but IIWII. **

GCHokie34 • 03/24/25 10:46 AM ET
I will be surprised if it’s not about money. It’s hard to blame these kids
SCHokie1103 • 03/24/25 11:17 AM ET
All about the $...assume we didn't give him the offer he wanted. Likely
vtfin91 • 03/24/25 10:21 AM ET
Why would we or anyone offer anything substantial? He has virtually zero

Agreed, think VT learned a lot with Poteat, workload, and healthy knees
