Collins is the best athlete on the team, not sure that’s enough though

Both freshmen looked more poised and seemed very decisive, Collins just isn’t a great defender and shows flashes on offense but the ball hasn’t fallen for him and we have a big sample size. One thing he does do well is box out, which was a massive sore spot last year. He also threatens the rim better than anyone else on the team, but it’s hard to get there when you present zero outside threat. He got more aggressive last night later on but was still missing 5 footers. That said Beran and Long didn’t show particularly well on the offensive end either, so it could be first game jitters

My rotation and minutes distribution based upon an n of 1

I think you're off quite a bit at the 3 & 4.. here's my estimate
ShockWaveVT 11/07/23 09:26 PM ET
MY literally said in the presser that Long would not play the 3**

I'm glad you're not in charge of in-game rotations. Nothing personal.**

Maybe Collins should pull out some T Radford game film

I was very impressed with the offense of both of J. Young and Rechsteiner.

Collins still considerably better on defense so doubt it happens until that
vt90 11/07/23 02:50 PM ET
Of course.
NC Hoke 11/07/23 02:54 PM ET
Hunter will play 35-40 minutes in the ACC
hoosnowahokie 11/07/23 12:32 PM ET
When Long and Nickel..
Rev.Zeke Vodka 11/07/23 12:12 PM ET
I’d switch Poteat and Kidd

Gotta remember defense...
Chris ColemanAdmin 11/07/23 11:25 AM ET
I believe in Collins...

CMY said in his presser the rotation will vary game to game**
TomTurkey 11/07/23 11:02 AM ET
Yep; Collins 1-8 was just like last year. Just can't afford to have . . .
MidloHokie 11/07/23 10:40 AM ET
Yeah. We've seen this with Allene and then last year with Maddox. We also

Tough not to give Young minutes after he was that efficient yesterday

He looked ahead of where MJ was early in the season, for sure.
Bmackattack 11/07/23 11:22 AM ET
That would be a huge win for us**
VT ChemE 1986 11/07/23 11:11 AM ET
I liked what I saw from Young as well.
Chris ColemanAdmin 11/07/23 11:08 AM ET
Not surprising.
