That's a lot of word vomit...

I gave a road map for what VT needed to do to earn an NCAA bid. They didn't do that...and that's now something I need to reconcile? I didn't "have us winning" any games. I said essentially here is the road map for what needs to be done to get an NCAA bid in response to many questions around whether it was possible. Your inability to recognize possibility from probability is not a reflection on me, and then to turn around and say that it shows that I'M the one who doesn't understand reality is pretty ballsy for someone who has zero clue about the reality of Virginia Tech as a program, as a community and as a university. You can create your own thought experiments about VT needing 13 transfers and a whole new coaching staff. But those 13 players and staff are still going to face the same challenges as literally every coach and player who has ever walked through the door

7 new scholarship players possible for next year
catdaddy • 02/12/24 10:19 AM ET
Need NIL money if you want to mine the portal. Probably limited by that.**
atlhokie1 • 02/12/24 11:34 AM ET
1& 5
Midwestguy • 02/12/24 11:19 AM ET
Guessing one of Kidd/Poteat leaves and the other becomes
NC Hoke • 02/12/24 12:31 PM ET
Could one leave for NIL money to play last year elsewhere?
YBYSAIAHokie • 02/12/24 10:54 PM ET
What we have to realize is it may likely
NC Hoke • 02/12/24 11:36 PM ET
That's an astute post.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/13/24 10:31 AM ET
Good post and the $64 question: Will there be enough cash to go around?**
ancient alien 2018 • 02/13/24 02:59 AM ET
There is never enough...**
NokieHokie • 02/13/24 11:12 AM ET
Yeah, if one of those two leaves, Jones should be the backup.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/12/24 01:12 PM ET
That is my prediction unless Wessler also leaves. My gut
Femoyer Hokie • 02/12/24 12:53 PM ET
I am concerned about Kidd as well.
VT ChemE 1986 • 02/12/24 04:54 PM ET
Lots of guys are playing elsewhere for their extra year it seems.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/13/24 11:19 AM ET
I thin Beran knew his playing time at NW would be greatly reduced
millmtnhokie • 02/13/24 01:16 PM ET
Concern about player or system ?**
AnotherTechW • 02/13/24 01:58 PM ET
System being difficult for players to find their way
millmtnhokie • 02/13/24 02:20 PM ET
I’m starting to have reservations about the system in this new
NC Hoke • 02/13/24 03:20 PM ET
So if pedulla leaves you think team falls apart?
AnotherTechW • 02/13/24 11:48 AM ET
I think in that scenario 2024-25 would definitely be a rebuilding year.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/13/24 12:00 PM ET
Chris, haven't we seen enough of Pedulla to admit he is a SG, not a PG?
VT ChemE 1986 • 02/13/24 12:44 PM ET
Two things...
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/13/24 12:57 PM ET
In other words, enjoy these last 8 games with Hunter
WildTurkE • 02/13/24 12:06 PM ET
So where does he go? Europe? Asia? Possibly. Money overseas is not as
ancient alien 2018 • 02/12/24 04:33 PM ET
I think he goes to another school. Just feels like he and
Femoyer Hokie • 02/12/24 04:42 PM ET
Wow. haven't heard that take. Who knows.**
ancient alien 2018 • 02/12/24 05:42 PM ET
It's also possible there are only 3 new scholarship players next season...
GCHokie34 • 02/12/24 10:44 AM ET
You continually demonstrate almost no feel for the reality of where we are
catdaddy • 02/12/24 03:12 PM ET
That's a lot of word vomit... ◄
GCHokie34 • 02/12/24 03:43 PM ET
A lot of "word vomit" that seems to have a whole lot of "likes" 🤔**
hokiekev 2k4 • 02/12/24 08:33 PM ET
"whole lot of likes"? With hundreds of posters, 16 likes pretty much sums
ancient alien 2018 • 02/12/24 09:29 PM ET
The word vomit has less likes than the response. **
GreenvilleVT • 02/12/24 09:10 PM ET
Yet still more likes than the vast majority of posts on TSL
hokiekev 2k4 • 02/13/24 01:19 PM ET
I think life will go on...
GCHokie34 • 02/13/24 05:52 PM ET
Always gotta sneak in that "... But I'm right". So predictable (and sad)**
hokiekev 2k4 • 02/13/24 09:33 PM ET
Personally I enjoy having someone with coaching expertise and a true
ancient alien 2018 • 02/13/24 06:36 PM ET
No one asked you to buy what he's selling. Make your dissent FWIW.
TomTurkey • 02/13/24 01:51 PM ET
...cool?**
GCHokie34 • 02/12/24 08:58 PM ET
Well, you also said “It isn't as dire as some would have you believe…”
Pride_and_Joy • 02/12/24 05:19 PM ET
Here is a possibility, win out through the ACC semi final
VTCALS72 • 02/12/24 07:35 PM ET
Are you trying to demonstrate the difference
Pride_and_Joy • 02/12/24 09:45 PM ET
What would you call........

LOL!! " Oh, I forgot about them". Some posters on this board are trapped in

And Basile. He was a major get for CMY.**
NC Hoke • 02/12/24 03:59 PM ET
Yes, a great pickup albeit for only 1 year.
catdaddy • 02/12/24 05:44 PM ET
2 that played in CMYs system (2yrs/4yrs) before transferring to follow him
HokieRat • 02/12/24 03:39 PM ET
So in your opinion,......
2hhoop3 • 02/12/24 03:43 PM ET
Leave open for further debate. Because if answering "done it successfully"
HokieRat • 02/12/24 04:11 PM ET
My contention is that he has never done it in 1 year successfully
catdaddy • 02/12/24 03:58 PM ET
That is different than......
2hhoop3 • 02/12/24 04:02 PM ET
Exactly, I am not endorsing the program in year 5.
catdaddy • 02/12/24 05:42 PM ET
No....
2hhoop3 • 02/12/24 05:50 PM ET
Actually, I love our program.. just not the current regime or trajectory**
catdaddy • 02/12/24 06:05 PM ET
Last post on it, but let me amend. It is not the regime but strategy**
catdaddy • 02/12/24 07:47 PM ET
What is an acceptability trajectory for you and what coach has
VTCALS72 • 02/12/24 07:46 PM ET
Are you pleased with the current trajectory?
Pride_and_Joy • 02/13/24 07:02 AM ET
give me a longer trajectory.
VTCALS72 • 02/13/24 10:41 AM ET
I understand wanting a longer trajectory
Pride_and_Joy • 02/13/24 12:24 PM ET
VT is currently 11th place in the ACC
WildTurkE • 02/13/24 11:48 AM ET
Never questioned your love......

He doesn’t. He’s a Buzz disciple. Pay no heed. **

Should I challenge that statement? *salute***
