Has VT ever had a player as fast as Hammond? I literally can’t think of one**

Sam Foggin would leave RK in his dust !!**
uber hokie • 01/02/26 10:52 PM ET
Are you thinking of
ftsumterhokie • 01/02/26 09:17 PM ET
It’s really fun having a quick guard
Squatro • 01/02/26 06:19 PM ET
Reggie Stepp and Al Young come to mind**
WV Gobbler • 01/02/26 06:15 PM ET
Based on watching......
2hhoop3 • 01/02/26 02:25 PM ET
Thorns and Rankin were pretty quick**
soflahokie • 01/02/26 02:01 PM ET
Wasn't Brian Chase pretty fast?**
HokieBrazil • 01/02/26 10:03 AM ET
Actually he wasn't.
hokietom87 • 01/02/26 01:10 PM ET
Al Young**
NorthBeachHokie • 01/01/26 11:59 PM ET
Al Young was FAST, not as "quick" as Hammond.
SmithfieldHokie • 01/02/26 04:21 PM ET
I think Al was drafted by the NY Giants or am I dreaming that?**
WV Gobbler • 01/02/26 06:20 PM ET
yes, he was...remember seeing that. He was super athletic.**
SmithfieldHokie • 01/03/26 10:25 PM ET
Believe that’s correct.
RJHokie • 01/02/26 06:26 PM ET
Al Young was amazing. He brought the ball up court as a complete sprint**

You’re giving me PTSD with that pull…**

J Robinson **
Foxhall Hokie • 01/01/26 11:42 PM ET
I think J Rob is a good comparison. Hammond, Amani, Gurdak, & Johnson
goodbadugly • 01/02/26 10:16 AM ET
Much stronger too. Ben still young.
40ozDistrict • 01/02/26 01:19 AM ET
Robinson was quick.. but reminds me of Allen in the paint

Storm Murphy**
BleedinOandM • 01/01/26 08:27 PM ET
That guy was never acc quality. **
GreenvilleVT • 01/01/26 11:09 PM ET
Storm finally was a decent ACC player by the very end of his career.
Will StewartAdmin • 01/03/26 10:39 AM ET
Yeah I was being sarcastic.
GreenvilleVT • 01/03/26 11:26 AM ET
That wasnt the question**
BleedinOandM • 01/02/26 08:08 AM ET
Some sharp-eyed observers said it years ago.
KCHokie2 • 01/01/26 11:47 PM ET
Nah it’s not even close **
SC_Hokie • 01/01/26 09:26 PM ET
Duh ….Mike Vick!**
TOUGH TURKEY • 01/01/26 07:42 PM ET

HokieEngineer • 01/01/26 06:41 PM ET
Correct...**
gobblecreek • 01/01/26 09:10 PM ET
Al was drafted
HOKIEVET • 01/01/26 08:36 PM ET
^^this^^. The Hurryin’’ Hokies. Al Young was a blur. **
millmtnhokie • 01/01/26 07:31 PM ET
Fast? Bimbo. Quick? I dunno.**
