Just understand this

It is a complicated situation with a lot of factors. These are 18-, 19-, 20-, 21- and 22-year-old kids. They are still trying to figure out what they want to do with their life. And they’re not all perfect. They make mistakes. You don’t know what people are going through. I say that to tell you guys to STOP speculating. Stop talking about it. Let it go. It doesn’t matter. He’s gone, that’s it. He and his family made a decision they thought was best for him. That’s the end of the story. There were a bunch of factors, but the bottom line is that he walked into Mike Young’s office and said he wants to transfer. Leave it at that. You’re not going to get anywhere by talking about it. (This is a general post, not specifically to you. Everyone needs to stop talking about it.)

Did Rechsteiner chase away Rice?
VT ChemE 1986 • 11/07/23 03:57 PM ET
Possibly. Those Steiner promos can be intimidating.**

Don’t put too much stock into 1 game against a team that can’t score and
DGHOKIE • 11/08/23 11:05 AM ET
I doubt it

Where Rice lands eventually will probably answer the question **
UEMcGill • 11/07/23 05:09 PM ET
Either way he’s gone so let’s let him go and move on. His ranking was a

Where Rice lands will have nothing to do with why he left**
GCHokie34 • 11/07/23 06:05 PM ET
Agree with this**
Cvillehoops13 • 11/09/23 02:59 PM ET
hang on.. he xferred in order to play PG, but that wont decide his new..
ShockWaveVT • 11/07/23 09:13 PM ET
He can decide to leave VT because he wants to play PG...
GCHokie34 • 11/07/23 09:19 PM ET
Holy crap!
okiedokeyhokie • 11/07/23 10:44 PM ET
sure other factors will play a role..
ShockWaveVT • 11/07/23 09:35 PM ET
He might...
GCHokie34 • 11/07/23 09:39 PM ET
Sure, whatever. There are 4 basic reasons to transfer.
UEMcGill • 11/07/23 06:30 PM ET
There are hundreds more reasons...**
GCHokie34 • 11/07/23 06:51 PM ET
Start listing. I'll let you stop at 20, just to be nice.
UEMcGill • 11/07/23 06:56 PM ET
Sure...
GCHokie34 • 11/07/23 07:49 PM ET
Throw in a mercy flag. That was a beat down. **

Want to spend 3 years in Hawaii, sign me up for that option!
13HOKIE • 11/07/23 09:59 PM ET
I think all the long flights Hawaii has to take would get old fast. **
Hoakie82 • 11/08/23 11:56 AM ET
I don't back down from specifics.
UEMcGill • 11/07/23 08:43 PM ET
You don't wanna do this...
GCHokie34 • 11/07/23 08:58 PM ET
They call this a technical fall in wrestling.
GreenvilleVT • 11/08/23 01:49 PM ET
I'll just give you a pass. Most of those fit right in the

"You have your koolaid drinkers." (??)**
No_Limit_Hokie • 11/07/23 08:34 PM ET
Funny you say that...
GCHokie34 • 11/07/23 08:23 PM ET
Again, you tell us when he lands. It'll fit one of my boxes.**
UEMcGill • 11/07/23 08:29 PM ET
He wanted to play PG...
GCHokie34 • 11/07/23 08:30 PM ET
So, it's #2. I knew the answer the whole time.
UEMcGill • 11/07/23 08:46 PM ET
If Rodney Rice goes to Maryland, did he drop down?
GCHokie34 • 11/07/23 09:01 PM ET
Well. It's closer to home, isn't it, and it follows a coach, doesn't it?
UEMcGill • 11/07/23 09:49 PM ET
Your earlier comment about "kool-aid drinkers" shows your opinion of GC**
No_Limit_Hokie • 11/07/23 10:07 PM ET
I think you're confusing me with a 247 insider...
GCHokie34 • 11/07/23 09:51 PM ET
No, I'm not confusing you with anyone. You started arguing my basic
UEMcGill • 11/07/23 10:12 PM ET
Who gives a sh*t other than you. He decided to transfer as he wanted to
Femoyer74 • 11/07/23 10:15 PM ET
I don't care one way or the other. This is about a cryptic poster who
UEMcGill • 11/07/23 10:20 PM ET
Really….you’re trying to agitate GC by posting you know more than he does
Femoyer74 • 11/07/23 10:39 PM ET
I knew the reason all along. I just get tired of the cryptic posts of
UEMcGill • 11/07/23 11:31 PM ET
Other seem to know but respect his decision?**
TomTurkey • 11/08/23 09:36 AM ET
Give examples...
GCHokie34 • 11/08/23 05:31 AM ET
You aren't the only person with "inside" info. Let it go. Just stop
UEMcGill • 11/08/23 09:35 PM ET
So no examples?**
GCHokie34 • 11/09/23 07:16 AM ET
If this were a Football game, UEM would be tossed out for targeting**
No_Limit_Hokie • 11/07/23 11:00 PM ET
Really? He made some excellent points. **
Blueboy • 11/07/23 11:42 PM ET
Told nobody nothing except a hypothetical list of reasons for leaving.**
TomTurkey • 11/08/23 02:50 PM ET
I think this guy just wants to be contrarian**
No_Limit_Hokie • 11/08/23 10:39 PM ET
Lol….really?**
Femoyer74 • 11/08/23 09:48 AM ET
I guess they went over your head. **
Blueboy • 11/08/23 06:16 PM ET
All he did was make the same ones that GC and Cville made…..it would help
Femoyer74 • 11/09/23 11:35 PM ET
Why the attitude.
133887Hokie • 11/07/23 07:20 PM ET
Bwahahahah!! 😝**
No_Limit_Hokie • 11/07/23 08:28 PM ET
No attitude. Exaggerating is unacceptable.**
UEMcGill • 11/07/23 07:25 PM ET
I've told you a million times, to not exaggerate!**
No_Limit_Hokie • 11/07/23 08:29 PM ET
I'd consider adding a few more to that list....
WV-Hokie • 11/07/23 06:41 PM ET
Perhaps it wasn't JUST about basketball. **
vthokieq • 11/07/23 04:26 PM ET
It was 100% basketball**
GCHokie34 • 11/07/23 06:06 PM ET
Is that a little high?
VTCALS72 • 11/08/23 09:16 AM ET
Naw, we've had football players 200 % committed before........**
atlhokie1 • 11/09/23 11:19 PM ET
100% is hyperbole, but all the significant factors are basketball decisions**
GCHokie34 • 11/08/23 09:31 AM ET
OK, thanks,**
VTCALS72 • 11/08/23 10:29 AM ET
Was he not named the starter and therefore he decided it wasn't worth
VTStylez9 • 11/07/23 06:20 PM ET
This game is more fun than Wordle and Connections **
TomTurkey • 11/07/23 07:17 PM ET
Wordle is fine. Connections is evil. 👹
No_Limit_Hokie • 11/07/23 08:30 PM ET
Nope.**
David CunninghamAdmin • 11/07/23 04:05 PM ET
I know the reason and can’t tell you??
vtfin91 • 11/07/23 08:08 PM ET
Just understand this ◄
David CunninghamAdmin • 11/07/23 09:50 PM ET
Did you talk to Will about telling people to cut down on board traffic? :)**
atlhokie1 • 11/09/23 11:21 PM ET
In the absence of facts, speculation is all that exists.**
Italian Stallion • 11/08/23 01:24 PM ET
Haha David we have a Mount Rushmore growing of "what-could-have-beens"..
HokieSA • 11/08/23 12:59 PM ET
David, I understand the intent of your post, and agree with it.

HeisenBurg13 • 11/08/23 07:04 AM ET
Mad respect for you and the quality you bring, but I don't get this take
VTFuzz • 11/08/23 05:05 AM ET
I agree....don't need David or others telling me to not discuss something**
BleedinOandM • 11/08/23 06:34 AM ET
Try discussing politics here. See how far that goes.**
No_Limit_Hokie • 11/09/23 12:20 PM ET
Something Hokie related...I agree, politics is different.**
BleedinOandM • 11/10/23 06:39 AM ET
Well, yes, true... my analogy was not exactly parallel**
No_Limit_Hokie • 11/10/23 06:51 AM ET
did um's feelings get hurt?**
HOKIE75-79 • 11/08/23 07:28 AM ET
Good lord...now you try and mock me. Childish response.**
BleedinOandM • 11/08/23 08:27 AM ET
Discussing it is one thing. But this horse has been beaten to death.
HeisenBurg13 • 11/08/23 07:09 AM ET
Or do what I do. Ignore those posts.**
Atlee Hokie • 11/08/23 11:36 AM ET
Oh, I have moved on...my issue is someone telling me....
BleedinOandM • 11/08/23 08:26 AM ET
Someone other than @Will Stewart, you mean?
No_Limit_Hokie • 11/08/23 10:36 PM ET
Nope, doesn’t matter who….just sayin’.**
BleedinOandM • 11/09/23 04:39 AM ET
David, you make too much sense. But it won't die for one big reason
Glen Allen Hokie • 11/07/23 09:55 PM ET

Blueboy • 11/07/23 11:45 PM ET
The conclusions being drawn from one game
