So basically a Dorn replacement.I think it's a wash on the centers with the

downside that Gurdak might have a higher ceiling due to being so young

People were happy to see Pedulla leave...

Most people wanted Pedulla to share the ball instead of leaving.**

Okay, I wanted him to share the ball more. Maybe he didn't trust that his

Not the vocal people on the boards or social media
Hokie Chris • 05/09/26 07:57 AM ET
Haven't seen anyone happy Neo is leaving.
EDGEMAN • 05/09/26 07:12 AM ET
You need to go back through this board then.**
marcbvtgm • 05/12/26 11:03 AM ET
I’m not glad but I’m hoping for an uptick in our shooting percentage

Sagnia will start**
GCHokie34 • 05/08/26 11:03 PM ET
I was just looking at last year's production.But Sagnia played in the first
HokieBrazil • 05/09/26 01:01 PM ET
I dont think his skill set was good for what Wade does**
GCHokie34 • 05/09/26 01:51 PM ET
Sounds familiar. Like Neo here?**
Femoyer Hokie • 05/09/26 02:04 PM ET
No...Neo was a great fit.
GCHokie34 • 05/09/26 02:14 PM ET
hopefully he can jump over a shoe box unlike our previous 5's
VermontDDS • 05/08/26 08:32 PM ET
you have described his known strengths, so far, in D1 hoops.**
ancient alien 2018 • 05/09/26 02:52 AM ET
Gurdak had to play as a true frosh. Tough. Now CMY has two centers
ancient alien 2018 • 05/08/26 01:45 PM ET
Never got the whole Gurdak "upside" thing.
marcbvtgm • 05/08/26 05:20 PM ET
disagree 100%
radford Hokie • 05/11/26 10:27 AM ET
You basically repeated the strengths I pointed out and ignored the flaws**
marcbvtgm • 05/12/26 11:11 AM ET
point is... he was a skilled freshman big
radford Hokie • 05/12/26 12:25 PM ET
Needed to drop about 20 lbs and firm up his body
Hoke • 05/09/26 11:49 AM ET
Fair enough, but getting bigger is more likely than smaller for a 19yr old.**
marcbvtgm • 05/12/26 11:10 AM ET
17 points, 19 rebounds vs Hoos showed his potential.**
YBYSAIAHokie • 05/09/26 08:47 AM ET
What did 6 & 3 vs UVA the next time in March show?**
marcbvtgm • 05/12/26 11:07 AM ET
He was still a freshman **
VaTechHokiesACC • 05/13/26 05:18 AM ET
He played as a true freshman.
EDGEMAN • 05/09/26 07:17 AM ET
I doubt it was a massive amount of cash.
marcbvtgm • 05/12/26 11:08 AM ET
He was Armando Bacot - lite, and his defense will improve with
goodbadugly • 05/08/26 06:57 PM ET
Amando Bacot? LOL.**
marcbvtgm • 05/12/26 11:10 AM ET
After the injuries we dealt with last year...
HokieJonez • 05/08/26 11:02 PM ET
The potential is there. CMY would have worked on his game. Rutgers?
ancient alien 2018 • 05/08/26 05:52 PM ET
How many guys improved last year from 24-25? Or even as the season went on?
marcbvtgm • 05/12/26 11:23 AM ET
Gurdak really had no "ups" though...
HokieJonez • 05/08/26 03:01 PM ET
This will be a very different team from what we have seen from CMY
VT ChemE 1986 • 05/08/26 12:49 PM ET
At 23 yrs old, I hope he's not a Dorn in terms of development.
chagerma • 05/08/26 01:37 PM ET
We will not have an ACC starting caliber center.
VT ChemE 1986 • 05/08/26 01:42 PM ET
Badly needed. Even an average rim protector will make a big difference. **
