Let's put it this way......

that quote was either overly optimistic or outright BS. I do not buy for a second that a head coach is in the dark about a player prognosis, particularly the further away you move from the initial injury date. I like Mike Young and I understand the need to keep future opponent's guessing as to Lawal's playing status. However, the longer this goes on the less likely opponents will remain in the dark, in other words, no need to keep fans guessing either and/or creating unrealistic expectations surrounding his possible return.

When I went to HS in NoVa GM was a nearly new community college.

I read a post that said CMY was quoted saying Lawal...
chagerma • 12/03/25 10:39 AM ET
CMY revised that is was more substantial with a 2 week - 6 week time frame.**
UTPr0sim • 12/03/25 11:36 AM ET
Let's hope he's back by New Years Eve.**

PhotoHokieNC • 12/03/25 04:57 PM ET
What's your beef with CMY?**
saret • 12/03/25 06:06 PM ET
You need to rethink why you believe that's what I meant. **
PhotoHokieNC • 12/03/25 06:51 PM ET
I think he was being facetious/sarcastic but only PhotoHokieNC knows...**

Glad that's possible 😏**
PhotoHokieNC • 12/03/25 06:54 PM ET
My guess is their outlook changed when he was seen by doctors in the states
GCHokie34 • 12/03/25 12:00 PM ET
Why do you bring logic and data to a message board?
hokienole • 12/04/25 06:55 PM ET
Good point......
2hhoop3 • 12/03/25 12:48 PM ET
Maybe he'll be back by Feb 1.**
Atlee Hokie • 12/03/25 11:18 AM ET
It was either coach speak or he didn’t know
VT ChemE 1986 • 12/03/25 10:49 AM ET
I agree but we will get better at playing without him.
