That story was actually written by one of Bill Roth’s students

“Brett Holmes has been covering the Hokies as a Sports Media & Analytics student at the school for the past two years. Alongside writing, he works behind the scenes as a production assistant for Virginia Tech's athletic production organization Hokie Vision. In his free time, he produces his own podcast, Holmes Field Advantage, on his YouTube.”

@David Cunningham - Sports Illustrated 3 bold VT predictions
MKD • 10/20/25 04:25 PM ET
My money's on Neo staying for four years.**
OakHillHokie • 10/22/25 04:50 PM ET
That would be extremely rare in today's landscape of college athletes
MKD • 10/23/25 02:07 PM ET
Some thoughts:
David CunninghamAdmin • 10/21/25 10:52 PM ET
Please do a write up after the exhibition. Most nobody else will see it
Maroon Effect • 10/22/25 04:06 PM ET
Thanks for the response. You made some very good points.**
MKD • 10/22/25 07:49 AM ET
My two cents:
thomash05 • 10/21/25 03:19 PM ET
Thanks for this. I appreciate you coming on here. **

Seniors RARELY go 1st round. Lawal will not go first round.
SkoHokies • 10/21/25 10:52 AM ET
If Lawal is 1st round he will have made the most dramatic offensive
Jwunderdog • 10/21/25 09:55 AM ET
Not David, but it would be shocking if Lawal is a first round pick.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 10/21/25 09:39 AM ET
Why are you bringing common sense to a message board?**
Lakeridgehokie • 10/21/25 08:21 PM ET
Good points Chris. Thanks**
MKD • 10/21/25 12:12 PM ET
2 first round picks ?!! Nice**
kingofcassell • 10/21/25 07:51 AM ET
Nice but highly unlikely.**
marcbvtgm • 10/21/25 04:50 PM ET
Sounds like someone at SI actually did a little research
NC Hoke • 10/21/25 01:29 AM ET
Reminds me of the blind squirrel occasionally finding a nut!!**

Oh wow! This is what it feels like to have some home cookin then?! **
chagerma • 10/21/25 12:11 PM ET
I guess he HAS done his research on VT basketball...lol**
EDGEMAN • 10/21/25 06:16 AM ET
At least he knows who our players are.
NC Hoke • 10/21/25 02:51 PM ET
Yet picked VT 12th in the conference. The only picking SI can do with
ancient alien 2018 • 10/20/25 09:18 PM ET
ACC picking is by the media
1947Sunbowl • 10/21/25 09:46 AM ET
SI has VT 12th. ACC media has VT 9th.**
ancient alien 2018 • 10/21/25 07:00 PM ET
ACC media put VT at 12. SI does not have an official list right now.
thomash05 • 10/22/25 12:03 PM ET
ACC media has VT 12th.**
hokietony • 10/22/25 10:15 AM ET
I have already aired similar predictions on this board
VT ChemE 1986 • 10/20/25 04:38 PM ET
The team will jell, but when? CMY's teams have generally not jelled early.
marcbvtgm • 10/21/25 10:19 AM ET
As far as when they gel, he's never had the talent, EVER, that he has this
ancient alien 2018 • 10/22/25 11:22 PM ET
I agree with your thoughts, but....
win-tech • 10/21/25 12:04 PM ET
Maybe the upgrade in talent will get the team to gel earlier.**
IB4TECH • 10/21/25 11:48 AM ET
^^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^^^**
ancient alien 2018 • 10/22/25 11:23 PM ET
Both are true for sure.**
MKD • 10/20/25 04:50 PM ET
Both are true for most teams....
