What is telling to me is that Pedulla was third string ACC and Kidd was

on the most improved list and they and the others that don't sniff ACC post-season awards go into the portal with what seems like NIL reasons. That to me is the wakeup call - i.e. we are losing players that are not super-highly regarded. They are good players but not all-stars and yet we cannot retain them except for a scant few. I believe CMY is at a crossroads in that if NIL doesn't get a lot better very soon, then CMY will probably retire. I would if I had no shot to compete in the ACC. CMY put out a middle of the road (exactly) ACC team with a very poor NIL budget - and yet there are those who want to see him gone - crazy. CMY is punching above his current NIL weight class - he should be appreciated for doing so.

I think Kidd can become a really outstanding player

Defense is atrocious**

That funky form had him at 84% from the FT line.

Athletic has Pedulla 24, Kidd 35, Nickel 71 (and Rice 56...)
EvDogHokie 04/01/24 05:41 PM ET
247 had them both higher than that.**

Shh don't listen to them. Thats not what this board would tell you**

Kidd is not top 50, the most disappointing is both Pedulla and Kidd will be
icelus 04/01/24 03:34 PM ET
Well, suitor schools aren't looking to add Junior Pedulla at VT,

You have to also consider how many good ~6'10" frontcourt guys there are
Pylons 04/01/24 07:46 PM ET
Well said. I feel bad for Coach Young.

Kidd couldn't walk and chew gum at the same time when he arrived here **
HokiesACC2004 04/01/24 06:15 PM ET
And if Coach Young can do the same with Wessler, just imagine....**
YBYSAIAHokie 04/01/24 08:24 PM ET
Why not? MY can coach big men**
HokiesACC2004 04/02/24 08:40 AM ET

gchris2 04/01/24 03:07 PM ET
How do you know what Miami paid for him? **
YBYSAIAHokie 04/01/24 04:00 PM ET
Once this board repeats it 10 times it's urban legend**
WildTurkE 04/01/24 04:13 PM ET
Afraid it's not in this case.**
HokiesACC2004 04/01/24 07:38 PM ET
Pretty sure the mods confirmed it**
Hardcore_Hokie 04/01/24 05:46 PM ET
If outside the Top-50 and still worth $850K to MIAMI that market is insane.**
