After reading Vtox's reply, perhaps it wasn't relevant in this case. There

have been some headscratchers with retention and roster management. At first glance, it looks puzzling why a guy that was a contributor for us goes to UNC, where he would presumably be further down the bench. But apparently he loves UNC. I haven't seen a coherent roster strategy for football or basketball the past few years. Now that the rules are getting firmed up, hopefully someone at VT will realistically figure out what their niche is and what their space in the hierarchy is. If we are going to focus on development - which I wish we would, like we used to, then VT needs to carve out some income if players use us for a stepping stone. The schools we should copy are BYU, Boise, K State and Iowa State. Maybe BYU has bigger bucks than I realized. I see schools that competently reload and we do not. VT has a very solid community and following and somehow that is not being leveraged very well, in my opinion.

I don't think most folks would see that as a missed opp.

Would Whit carry most of the blame for that?**

No we replaced him with better talent Avdalas and Bedford and kept 2 more

Exactly. We won't be missing the least efficient player on last year's team**

He's like a home run hitter that strikes out a lot.

Steve “Bye Bye” Baloni comes to mind with that baseball reference **

He definitely won’t be taking ten three pointers in a game for UNC either. **

He is where he wants to be, so I'm happy for him.**
