I am too but to be objective

it is easy . Last season we turned the roster and based on thin air a lot of folks were optimistic in early fall. I know I was when Miller was still the projected PG. Even after he left I held my tongue still hoping. Then it was reported off record that Liberty had smoked us in a scrimmage. Okay , maybe we weren't playing our Dawgs much or whatever. It wasn't to watching us the first couple of games that the alarm went off that this was going to be a bad team. I get there is a lot more to like on paper this September then last and i am happy everyone seems stoked. But again it is on paper. I am going to temper my expectations a tad until I actually see the product. But I love the athleticism we should have. And yeah one can make a case this could be a real breakout season . Let's hope that is the case. We deserve it and frankly we need it.

GCHokie34 09/24/25 09:55 AM ET
% of last years production or absolute amount?**
HokieDelNorte 09/24/25 01:38 PM ET
Im certain on percentage, but I think total production too
GCHokie34 09/24/25 02:29 PM ET
Also not all the returning production will be starting

Per press conference, CMY expects 2-3 of last yr's players to start this yr
win-tech 09/25/25 12:03 PM ET
I think all of last years players, other than Lawal, come off the bench
VT ChemE 1986 09/25/25 11:07 AM ET
Doesn't that say more about the turnover in the ACC?
EDGEMAN 09/24/25 10:53 AM ET
Regardless, VT should be given same recognition as any other 6 ACC teams
GCHokie34 09/24/25 02:30 PM ET
We'll have to earn our respect during the season.
EDGEMAN 09/24/25 03:35 PM ET
I stand corrected
Vippie1 09/24/25 10:04 AM ET
It may be a good thing that the team is under the radar. Some teams do
VTHokie2000 09/24/25 08:53 AM ET
Especially with the type of season VT had last year..
