Or making room to add both a portal 4 and 5

Genuinely don't know I can't imagine he thinks some team would give him a big offer with health concerns and zero film

Why should his walk of shame be any different than any coach who has left

Apparently, ChArvin at 247 is saying this was expected and VT was not
HokieRat • 03/24/25 11:35 AM ET
The first part is true. No idea on the second part.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/24/25 11:38 AM ET
Any indication about whether shutting him down was strategic on his part?
nvpbrown • 03/24/25 01:38 PM ET
And as far as that second part goes...
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/24/25 11:39 AM ET
Does make you wonder how our $ stacks up. Even for VT he is a relatively

Best guess, "grass is greener" or "show me the money"**

I don’t know but I do know that basketball is important to RJ

Is it him or his agent/people telling him he can get a better deal?**
HokieBrazil • 03/24/25 12:58 PM ET
Will a top tier team take a chance on him or will he end up with
Uncle Ed • 03/24/25 10:58 AM ET
Depends what teams are looking for and what he's looking for
GCHokie34 • 03/24/25 01:34 PM ET
What is his injury history?**
HokieDelNorte • 03/24/25 02:29 PM ET
Meniscus repair Junior year of HS...
GCHokie34 • 03/24/25 03:36 PM ET
I'm assuming he wasn't asked to leave?
YBYSAIAHokie • 03/24/25 10:23 AM ET
The new "Rodney Rice" I'm 100% not surprised. He never played many minutes**
George Baylor • 03/24/25 10:01 AM ET
This is so frustrating. Tech pays his tuition, room, and board for a year
jboyhokie • 03/24/25 11:53 AM ET
That's the way of professional sports these days.**
hok1eboy • 03/24/25 10:59 PM ET
He redshirted**
GCHokie34 • 03/24/25 10:10 AM ET
He played in 5 games.**
HokieFan14 • 03/24/25 02:14 PM ET
Medical redshirt**
GCHokie34 • 03/24/25 02:42 PM ET
He's going to need a very lenient NCAA interpretation of the rules to get
HokieFan14 • 03/24/25 04:40 PM ET
No...pretty standard actually**
GCHokie34 • 03/24/25 04:49 PM ET
Playing sporadically in 5 games across 2 months, then deciding the injury
HokieFan14 • 03/24/25 05:05 PM ET
Did he collect NIL $$ from this past season?**
EDGEMAN • 03/24/25 11:47 AM ET
No clue...and not sure it matters?
GCHokie34 • 03/24/25 01:35 PM ET
Just curious what we got for our money...
EDGEMAN • 03/24/25 01:45 PM ET
What exactly would you do with that information?
GCHokie34 • 03/24/25 03:48 PM ET
A "shot on goal" with a highly rated kid. Injury is just a risk you take.**
Lancelot Link • 03/24/25 01:55 PM ET
Question, Jaydon Young, why isn't he listed on 247 portal site?
Uncle Ed • 03/24/25 10:01 AM ET
Sorry, I don't have an answer there**

The men’s basketball team is a dumpster fire

Got that right.**

Maybe not such a bad thing, as bad as we were this past season
Zanderhokie • 03/24/25 11:23 AM ET
You obviously know that we won’t have a team next year..🙈
jagerhokie • 03/24/25 10:52 AM ET
Right now, I'm not sure I would miss it too much if we didn't have a team
LXNTN_HOKIE • 03/25/25 01:32 AM ET
You can broaden it. Men’s college basketball is a dumpster fire.
GBOHokie • 03/24/25 10:22 AM ET
Money grubbers have destroyed it.**

GCHokie34 • 03/24/25 10:00 AM ET
Is there any chance to bring him back? Don't know why he would but once
RhinoVT • 03/24/25 09:46 AM ET
Sure there is..Poteat entered the portal last season too
HokieSA • 03/24/25 09:59 AM ET
Hate that. I was really hoping to keep this kid but IIWII. **
SCHokie1103 • 03/24/25 09:42 AM ET
You and me both...he's gonna do well somewhere if he gets healthy**
GCHokie34 • 03/24/25 10:11 AM ET
Yes I had heard good things about this kid. Do you think it was money or
SCHokie1103 • 03/24/25 10:30 AM ET
I don't have any Intel there
GCHokie34 • 03/24/25 10:46 AM ET
I will be surprised if it’s not about money. It’s hard to blame these kids
SCHokie1103 • 03/24/25 11:17 AM ET
All about the $...assume we didn't give him the offer he wanted. Likely
vtfin91 • 03/24/25 10:21 AM ET
Why would we or anyone offer anything substantial? He has virtually zero

SEC will be spending $6-8 million on hoops rosters next season
vtfin91 • 03/24/25 11:38 AM ET
Agreed, think VT learned a lot with Poteat, workload, and healthy knees
