Elohim is without doubt a starter

and will be one of our two starting wings. He would replace Bedford in our line up and IMO has the potential to be a breakout scorer. Top 50 player coming out of HS. Heide could start in place of Gurdak for anyone who anticipated Gurdak as the starting 5. He looks like a better and more athletic defender and shot blocker than Gurdak and is nearly as good finisher in the paint. If we land some great 5 or stretch 5 Heide would still be a rotational piece and play a lot of minutes. Atak is a good prospect as well, having a good season as a true freshman at OU, He is a rotational piece at 4 behind Hansberry. I am not sure who he can guard at this point without watching more video. But, he averaged over 12 minutes a game for OU and had an overall PER of 19.8 which is impressive for a true freshman playing that many minutes. He shoots a lot from behind the arc, making 41.3% of his attempts. All 3 are solid pick ups regardless of whether they start or play in our rotation, and should fit well around our core 3 returning starters. That said, we still need more depth, particularly a back up point guard for Hammond, and another Big. I’m not sure what CMY has in mind for Hull, but I have no expectations of him. Guess we’ll see when the time comes.

The fact we are signing bench players from the Colonial is really pathetic.

Do you expect anything out of Ned Hull?More than what Pasha gave us?**
HokieBrazil 04/28/26 02:53 PM ET
I think he will be a specialist. It will depend how they fill the roster
GCHokie34 04/29/26 08:33 AM ET
Not a chance.**
VTFinance10 04/29/26 07:00 AM ET
Yes, more. Pasha was a player with skills that didn't fit CMY's
ancient alien 2018 04/28/26 06:15 PM ET
Hull’s two 3s against VT were wide open looks with no defender
NC Hoke 04/28/26 08:48 PM ET
Doubt it.
NC Hoke 04/28/26 03:22 PM ET
Why didn't we see Pasha's talent this past season?**
ancient alien 2018 04/28/26 06:16 PM ET
Pasha came to VT to play point guard, then after he committed, Avdalas
NC Hoke 04/28/26 08:31 PM ET
Yup,he will explode at Duquesne,and then move on next year to a P5 program
HokieBrazil 04/29/26 10:50 AM ET
Yep. They need some end of the bench players and he fills that role.**
4dhokies 04/28/26 04:34 PM ET
