Coach Young is a very good coach

Not sure I would put him at the great/elite level. Of course there are not but so many of those guys out there. We do not ignore our basketball team (though last year was kind of close) but as we have shown we are a football school when we first look to resources for a program. I think this could very likely be a tournament team without injuries to Lawal and Johnson. We had better depth this year, but not the kind that can overcome starter injuries of more than a game or two. Johnson does so many things well and we really miss his defense on the wing.

A HC who gets the most out of the limited puzzle parts he has to work

Very good? You clearly have low standards for coaching**
Steeltown Hokie • 02/07/26 11:53 PM ET
i wouldn't put him in the very good coach category... good coach, yes
Windows NT • 02/07/26 08:54 PM ET
Completely Agree!!
ABSS Hokie 86 • 02/07/26 08:26 PM ET
With that attitude should we get out of the ACC

CMY is a great guy and represents the university well.

Yeah wins. Good enough roster but just not getting it done well enough. **

I’d happily take “VT is a 50% NCAAT program.” But that’s not what we’re
GoldCoast • 02/07/26 08:51 PM ET
If VT gets in this year it'll be 3 in 7 years...
GCHokie34 • 02/07/26 09:51 PM ET
A question: If VT provided the team, and were able to offer the same level

What’s wrong with the talent we have now? **
GoldCoast • 02/07/26 09:06 PM ET
7 or 8? nothing. Here's an example: Clempsun has played 11 payers tonight
