Pretty much this. There’s one player every season that some fans seems to

lock in on as being the worst. And once they have established that narrative then every single mistake is called out and any positive aspects are either quietly acknowledged or simply ignored.

The amount of negativity toward Rechsteiner on this board is crazy

"Eating their own" : it's what Hokie fans do best.**

He had 4 TOs and shot 33%, and his effort on D was tough to watch at times
GoldCoast • 02/16/25 12:24 PM ET
I feel like Rechsteiner is improving
OrlandoHokie • 02/16/25 12:01 PM ET
It’s happened to pretty much every PG we’ve had…
vthokieq • 02/16/25 08:53 AM ET
This is so true
GreenvilleVT • 02/16/25 09:27 AM ET
Yeah, let’s not criticize our athletes right to the transfer portal
Hokie1992 • 02/16/25 08:35 AM ET
If we’re not playing vs BIG guards; Hammond at PG & Rech at 2 would

I like the kid. He's tough. Thought he was supposed to be our next gen PG?**
40ozDistrict • 02/15/25 10:55 PM ET
I've always thought Rech is just playing out of position.
Will StewartAdmin • 02/15/25 09:49 PM ET
Even as a 2, his handle is shaky.
Gobbler Guru • 02/16/25 02:21 PM ET
Yep, evidently no one in the program works harder than Rech but . . .
MidloHokie • 02/16/25 08:15 AM ET

That's the same thought I've had re: Rech. He's just not a
saret • 02/15/25 10:16 PM ET
I said that to my wife during the game. He's not a PG.
YBYSAIAHokie • 02/15/25 10:01 PM ET
Agree…I think he is a 2…**

Rechsteiner has taken over for Pedulla who, in turn, took over for Murphy

AbsolutVT03 • 02/16/25 06:55 PM ET
He did a GREAT job on McNeely?**
marcbvtgm • 02/15/25 10:50 PM ET
He has too many turnovers EVERY game.
Glen Allen Hokie • 02/15/25 10:43 PM ET
It’s not just his turnovers or bad shots.
marcbvtgm • 02/15/25 10:57 PM ET
I’d rather he shot it over pass it all day
Glen Allen Hokie • 02/15/25 10:45 PM ET
Loved Storm and Pedulla was highly skilled offensively
Moseley Hokie • 02/15/25 08:07 PM ET
This is an insane post
MFWHokie0607 • 02/15/25 11:05 PM ET
Let’s look at statistics
Moseley Hokie • 02/16/25 08:49 AM ET
I’m sorry but no.
cbhokie1 • 02/16/25 09:21 AM ET
Not seeing it. He’s not that young and he makes a ton of poor decisions.
marcbvtgm • 02/15/25 10:52 PM ET
I see him moving on. He's improved a bit, but CMY doesn't want to play 2
UTPr0sim • 02/15/25 07:52 PM ET
The offense still flows better with Rechsteiner than Hammond
Moseley Hokie • 02/15/25 07:57 PM ET
Hammond is FAR superior as a PG; he’s only in his first season with CMY’s
hokiepro • 02/15/25 11:26 PM ET

HokieHeartNSoul • 02/15/25 08:07 PM ET
Agree. However, depending on who CMY brings in from the portal, his minutes
