Not sure how you define “ finding success” and I didn’t take the time to

do a deep dive in to stats which are way less vague than “ find success “ However I looked at Nickel and Collins. And there stats really showed not much progress or regression by either. PT was close to the same which can screw stats obviously. Nickel is averaging almost 2 points per game more and Collins is averaging less than 1/2 point more. So they really are producing at abut the same level they were at Tech. I’m feel sure Collins is playing good D and Nickels is not just as they were last year. Really hard to compare Rice because he was constantly hurt in Blacksburg so if he hasn’t been hurt then maybe has “ found success “ . Have watched Pedulla play a couple of time he seems to not be trying to do to much now as he did at Tech so there’ s that. Alleyne got in a perfect situation and won a Natty although his PT was greatly reduce I would say he “ found success” . Maddox kid of moved down to lower competition level and usually that equals finding success. But as player grow from year to year get stronger, smarter more experienced their production and stats naturally improve. Don’t think any of these players development say anything good or bad about CMY. Just says he recruited some pretty good players that other people offered more money to . Impossible to keep everyone happy in this current NiL, TP era.

Can we have an honest discussion on this staff and why NIL is just another
catdaddy 01/09/25 08:20 AM ET
If we would have paid Pedulla and Kidd, this team would be solid
kingofcassell 01/09/25 04:18 PM ET
It’s mostly about NIL. CMY lost 4 of his starters to NIL.
NC Hoke 01/09/25 03:43 PM ET
3 of those had weaknesses that IMHO are not going to go away. Padulla is
jrc3rd 01/09/25 04:55 PM ET
Yeah but it is a fact they still won 18 games playing together last year
NC Hoke 01/09/25 06:42 PM ET
It’s everything. Talent, coaching, team play, development, confidence. **

It shouldn't be lost on anyone that if we ignored many of your predictions
catdaddy 01/09/25 10:53 AM ET
With the exception of bad predictions, I have a perfect track record

That does sound dumb. That's not at all what the previous poster wrote

HOKIE75-79 01/09/25 11:37 AM ET
So we finish strong to get to your 18-13 record? **
catdaddy 01/09/25 11:10 AM ET
Guard play is killing us, though I will note...
Chris ColemanAdmin 01/09/25 09:09 AM ET
Schutt seems to have no
grtmmt 01/09/25 10:49 AM ET
He's really not a good defender according to CMY. His job is to knock

So synonymous like Hooker in football. Whether its retaining or development

The key point that is being missed is roster continuity. Yes, we’ve lost
VT One 01/09/25 10:05 AM ET
Yes, I agree but have those players developed and progressed
catdaddy 01/09/25 09:21 AM ET
Pedulla didn't improve? Come on now.**

There are some things they can't admit if they wanna push a narrative **

Cattoor, Aluma, Kidd, all improved substantially here…

PER numbers highlight poor guard play...

I'm shocked at how much Young and Rechsteiner have underperformed
