That would be extremely rare in today's landscape of college athletes

If he's great, 2 years max (if not 1) and on to the NBA. If he's really good, then after one year a major blue blood program i.e. UNC, Duke, Kentucky, etc. make an offer he can't refuse. That's just how it works in today's world. The advantage is Mike Young might be able to convince him to stay and offer a great $ incentive.

Some thoughts:

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!!**
ancient alien 2018 • 10/21/25 06:58 PM ET
That story was actually written by one of Bill Roth’s students
VTChip • 10/21/25 02:16 AM ET
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....
