Is this another example of picking the best school instead of best fit?

It really boggles my mind that players don't get that you don't get better watching, you get better playing. Plenty in the NBA came from schools not named Duke and Kentucky, in fact most of them went to another school. I work in youth sports, and I always say find a school you want to go to for an education first, but the sports side, it should be huge that you can play. You don't get better watching, you get better playing!

He will likely wait and see who returns for Duke and UK...

Well, "best fit" now includes

Yep, he needs to play...

Is it safe to assume that CMY and staff still have potential recruits

Spot on, to bad it’s so rare they go after the best fit. Certainly worked

Is VT still involved? CC made it sound like that ship sailed. **
HokieDelNorte • 05/12/25 11:05 AM ET
Yes, Tech is no longer involved.

Apologies, thought we still had a glimmer b/c of Frazier relationship**
HokieSA • 05/12/25 05:00 PM ET
We're all-in on Avadalas. Getting both was never realistic.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 05/12/25 05:20 PM ET
Not sure the best school is a major factor for those looking at a payday
EDGEMAN • 05/12/25 08:38 AM ET
You are still going up against the best at
HokieDelNorte • 05/12/25 09:53 AM ET
That aspect is majorly overrated...
GCHokie34 • 05/12/25 10:55 AM ET
Are we at the point where the P5 should just stop high school recruiting
hokiehill1117 • 05/13/25 08:29 AM ET
I definitely think the high school guys need to make better decisions.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 05/14/25 01:16 PM ET
