Every year I believe VT will create newer, smarter fans.. I’m always wrong

Between my brother and I we have degrees from VT, UNC, UF, and UMich.. Without a doubt the critical thinking of the average online Hokie is in the basement compared to the other 3 schools. MY has assembled a roster through the portal that fits exactly what he’s had success with in the past. He’s brought in 3 players who shoot better from deep on volume than the guys they replace. He’s swapped unathletic big men for ones who crash the boards and block shots. He retained the only 3 guys on the team who showed the ability to play against upper tier talent. We have two legitimately proven PGs for the first time since 2007. We have a bottom of the barrel budget yet somehow found guys who play the exact roles we need which are shooters, scorers, rim protectors, rebounders, screen setters, and ball handlers. ** Edited by soflahokie at 5/23/2026, 12:35:03 AM

Well MY has his work cut out for him in 2026-27: VT's 6 person transfer

Dorn at 90 is laughable. He averaged a foul per min played.**

Here are some thoughts on the “floor” of this team…

Barring metatarsal. **
HokieDelNorte • 05/24/26 06:25 PM ET
Yep, injuries. The floor may not be where we thought it would be.

This is the correct assessment. Likely better than 2 years ago. But as you

YBYSAIAHokie • 05/23/26 09:00 PM ET
Most likely...

Are you seeing Hansberry still recovering from injury to start the season?**
Femoyer Hokie • 05/24/26 03:28 PM ET
no. CMY will play 2 bigs at the 5 as long as they can offer positive
ancient alien 2018 • 05/23/26 11:57 PM ET
Not starting, but you could see that line up in a 4 out offense, although
NC Hoke • 05/24/26 12:51 AM ET
No most think Hansbury will play 90% of minutes at the 4 spot. Heide Saiga
vtox1 • 05/23/26 10:11 PM ET
I would bet (and very much hope) that Hansberry does not start or.....
vtbball80 • 05/23/26 09:20 PM ET
Hard to believe our starting center averages 5 ppg and 4 rbg
YBYSAIAHokie • 05/23/26 09:43 PM ET
In about 19 minutes a game.
NC Hoke • 05/24/26 12:24 AM ET
That's about what VT's 5 averaged last season.**
ancient alien 2018 • 05/23/26 11:59 PM ET
Those are Gurdak's stats. Between him, Hansberry and Dorn I'd guess....

Ever meet “Subway Irish” or the average PSU fan

So what are you predicting for next year.....since he's "assembled a roster

Hey, we dimwits know where we're not wanted.
KCHokie2 • 05/23/26 08:47 PM ET
I hope you are correct. This year the parts rated higher than the whole.

VT ChemE 1986 • 05/23/26 11:20 AM ET
Did 247 watch us play last year? I love Gurdak and respect Dorn and Schutt
VT One • 05/22/26 06:58 PM ET
247 is basically a CBS afterthought. Their rankings for the transfer portal

This roster, using last year’s ppg from their various teams, shows
VT One • 05/22/26 09:40 PM ET
Dorn as 90?? LOL!! Rivals/ON3 has VT's transfer class ranked 33 out of 194

If the talent is really that low, I’m more glad than ever CMY is
