Thought the same, especially after watching St. Mary's.

Both of their big guys were heavily involved in the offense and both took the majority of their shots right next to the hoop. Our big guys seem to spend most of their time at the top of the key. Hansberry will occasionally roll to the hoop but he's just as likely to jack up a 3. Dorn is used exclusively to set high screens or just hand the ball off to a guard. I'm not sure many coaches would look at his size and think the best place to park him on offense is outside the paint.

You should be. If the ACC is the dumpster fire I suspect it is, these non

Agree. Hammond reminds me of Bede. He is quick and able to get open looks

I agree - way too much over reaction on this board

You should be. They all matter - especially vs OOC competition like that. **

Yeah, these gms matter (for better or worse) on selection sunday.

i don't see an offensive philosophy
VermontDDS • 11/28/25 10:27 PM ET
We rarely get the ball to our big men in the paint. That puzzles me.
YBYSAIAHokie • 11/29/25 09:44 AM ET
None of them have a post game, except Gurdak.
VT ChemE 1986 • 11/29/25 10:41 AM ET
Yup Dorn pretty much just sets picks at the top of the key

It's early and the people saying that are correct. But there are trends

The all-around most popular opinion here is that he's forcing set

Bottom line is that his system is very effective
ShockWaveVT • 11/29/25 12:04 AM ET
Structure can be adjusted to take advantage of what you have to work with
Tombo • 11/28/25 08:24 PM ET
How does what he's doing now differ from that if that was his intention?**

By 18 to an a10 team? Not like we’re playing top 10, top 20 comp. **

I don’t know our record verses VCU but I bet it’s close to 50/50 at best.
Hoakie82 • 11/28/25 09:55 PM ET
12-10 VCU**
HokieHeartNSoul • 11/29/25 11:06 PM ET
I’m saying VCU has historically been every bit as good or better than VT &
Hoakie82 • 11/29/25 02:21 PM ET
What are you saying? We've historically been .500 against VCU, therefore..
GoldCoast • 11/29/25 10:39 AM ET
I think it is 10 for VT and 12 wins for VCU...but that is a guess**
Tuckahokie • 11/29/25 09:09 AM ET
Heard VCU is favored to win the A10**
AGRHOKIE • 11/28/25 07:26 PM ET
Weak conference **
ombandit • 11/28/25 07:50 PM ET
A10 weak or ACC weak?**
