Bristow didn't play as a freshman- That was before freshman were allowed -- Jwunderdog Jan 29, 2026 at 11:29 AM ET

Reminds me of old Iona / Wash Bullets - Jeff Ruland -- 1980VT Jan 28, 2026 at 11:54 AM ET

Wow, that is an awesome pull. Ruland was great.** -- vtfin91 Jan 28, 2026 at 03:23 PM ET

Nice analogy. -- crazylane Jan 28, 2026 at 11:56 AM ET

Can he add a 3 pt shot to his arsenal or a mid range jumper at any point?** -- HokieBrazil Jan 28, 2026 at 11:25 AM ET

He has excellent form on his FTs which could translate to 3pt line with -- VTKev80 Jan 28, 2026 at 05:40 PM ET

He's a classic 5. Not everyone needs a 3 point shot. We likely have . . . -- MidloHokie Jan 28, 2026 at 11:30 AM ET

A nice elbow shot would be great for him especially if it pulls a big from -- JACHokies Jan 28, 2026 at 12:19 PM ET

Any type of face up jumper or one dribble machine would help** -- 1980VT Jan 28, 2026 at 12:43 PM ET

Probably true -- crazylane Jan 28, 2026 at 11:55 AM ET
