So, I studied your roster and no doubt

Odom recruited very well, and I do agree both teams have assembled the talent to be relevant. Several of your comments I don’t agree; first, that anyone could objectively stand back from the paper analysis and conclude “Virginia is a step above VT”, or vice versa. There’s too much new talent on both teams to say that. Next the “presence of legit scorers at 3 positions” frankly could just as easily be said about the players Tech puts on the floor. I would take Pasha over Hall, give the edge to Avdalas over Thomas, and I think you’ve undervalued VT’s post depth with Dorn, who looks to me to be a legitimate back up. Also, you will be wrong questioning VT’s ability to score if it’s not hitting 3s. This VT team will have more capable scorers and scoring balance than that. Overall I expect either team has talent capable of making a run, and I expect two very hard fought games between us. At this stage one doesn’t stand out over the other to me. The players are there on both sides. Now it’s going to come down to preparation and coaching most of all.

Very excited to see where UVA/VT is this upcoming season.

ALL just speculation at this time. UVA was preseason #2 in baseball**

Quite a few points of contention...

“Post depth has never been greater at VT. I would argue maybe ever”

Who scores when the shots don't fall for any team?

All fair points

Typical UVA arrogance. Everyone is entitled

Just make sure you stick around through the season.
hokieZ71 • 06/10/25 05:11 PM ET
The EuroLeague is not a step below the ACC...
GCHokie34 • 06/10/25 05:05 PM ET
I think you may be as excited about this team as I am**
VT ChemE 1986 • 06/10/25 03:02 PM ET
I'm anxiously awaiting for the bad part...

Well, I guess we just shouldn't even suit up this year**
VT ChemE 1986 • 06/10/25 02:17 PM ET
To be honest I haven’t spent much time studying UVa’s new roster.
NC Hoke • 06/10/25 01:26 PM ET
Great questions

Homer view, I know, but I see VT as top 3 ACC and Sweet 16 NCAA

All fair points
wahoo2023 • 06/10/25 01:22 PM ET
You are correct. Avdalas isn’t a prime option until he proves it.
