Tyler Nickel dropped 26 on Wake today.
hokieinoregon • 12/21/25 09:35 PM ET
Vandy is really good **
AnotherTechW • 12/23/25 07:19 AM ET
Out of the guys who left two years ago, Nickel
David CunninghamAdmin • 12/22/25 12:58 PM ET
But if he had stayed here …
VPI63 • 12/23/25 12:28 AM ET
Why didn't you give a $500k to help out with that then??**
hoosnowahokie • 12/22/25 12:25 PM ET
Did he gain the quickness to guard a 3 or grow enough to guard a 4?**
jrc3rd • 12/22/25 11:51 AM ET
You realize he is easily one of the top 3 players on a top 15 team
Vippie1 • 12/22/25 05:35 PM ET
It wasn't a criticism. I haven't seen him play. They could be covering
jrc3rd • 12/22/25 06:17 PM ET
Yes
hokiepro • 12/22/25 01:13 PM ET
No, it would have been bad for Tyler and VT. He was not able to adjust
ancient alien 2018 • 12/21/25 10:36 PM ET
i'll agree on the NIL part , not the rest
Vippie1 • 12/22/25 08:41 AM ET
As a big wing shooter he would very much fit CMY’s system.
NC Hoke • 12/22/25 02:29 AM ET
Si why didn't he thrive under CMY's system while he was @VT? He couldn't
ancient alien 2018 • 12/22/25 04:01 PM ET
I guess I don’t share your opinion he didn’t thrive when he was here.
NC Hoke • 12/22/25 05:13 PM ET
As opposed to who that is on the team now? **
Lancelot Link • 12/21/25 10:36 PM ET
I’d take him over Schutt, Bedford or Pasha yeah
hokiepro • 12/22/25 12:19 AM ET
Those aren't the choices. The choices would be taking Nickel over Lawal and
King of Hokies • 12/22/25 02:29 PM ET
He doesn’t play the same position as Lawal
hokiepro • 12/22/25 04:44 PM ET
Uh yeah he does. They're both 4s.**
King of Hokies • 12/22/25 06:42 PM ET
Nickel is a 3. He is in no way shape or form a 4.
hokiepro • 12/22/25 08:09 PM ET
You're right. Sorry. But it's Johnson and Schutt you'd be giving up.
King of Hokies • 12/22/25 11:57 PM ET
Can he cover 3s. You are what you can defend. **
Jackie VT • 12/22/25 10:16 PM ET
I rather have Schutt **
HokiesACC2004 • 12/22/25 06:46 AM ET
I like Schutt because of course he’s stuck around
hokiepro • 12/22/25 08:21 AM ET
yep I love what Schutt is doing to max his game BUT it is nuts
Vippie1 • 12/22/25 08:45 AM ET
Honest question: Do you equate a poster
GCHokieof91 • 12/22/25 12:19 PM ET
no, but they are apples and oranges
Vippie1 • 12/22/25 12:36 PM ET
Not really apples & oranges. They'd occupy some similar real estate.
marcbvtgm • 12/22/25 01:27 PM ET
Fair enough (and I agree). But the original post
GCHokieof91 • 12/22/25 12:46 PM ET
Yes. I love this team especially their fight
hokiepro • 12/22/25 11:51 AM ET
Yeah, he's definitely a good player. I'd be happy to have him. However,
HokieEngineer • 12/22/25 03:22 PM ET
I’d take Schutt over TN.**
GCHokieof91 • 12/22/25 05:54 AM ET
Except he's not a guard, and VT didn't have the cash, and wouldn't pay
ancient alien 2018 • 12/22/25 02:09 AM ET
Yeah the Byington connection makes it a good fit for him **

Jaydon Young even put up some points for UNC tonight vs ECU.
Zanderhokie • 12/22/25 10:17 PM ET
Patrick Wessler putting up 12 ppg, 9 rpg, 57% FG shooting.
YBYSAIAHokie • 12/22/25 11:17 AM ET
Collins is an athlete with a nice looking shot. He’s obviously worked very
hokiepro • 12/23/25 07:50 AM ET
Yeah, as good as Nickel has been, Collins may have been better. While I
