He isn't eligible for medical hardship

I can be out of coaching for 100 years and know how to read a handbook. VT would have to play 43 games this year for Tyler Johnson to qualify. It doesnt matter if it's Duke or Emory and Henry, he doesnt grow in value by having a long time without playing basketball. I'm sure it's much wilder than when I coached, but it still follows logic. It makes sense for no one involved for him to sit if he's healthy and able to play at a high level. Lawal and Johnson didn't have the same injury. Lawal and Johnson dont have the same level of conditioning or athleticism. We dont know if Johnson has had setbacks along his return. But everything that has happened so far follows closely with the logic of him being worked back into action slowly.

hokiepro • 02/17/26 06:20 AM ET

SC_Hokie • 02/17/26 03:40 PM ET
Sounds like a season ending type of injury
Zanderhokie • 02/17/26 04:07 PM ET
I said he would not play again but was called a liar. 🤷‍♂️**
SC_Hokie • 02/17/26 01:23 PM ET
You said he was redshirting...
GCHokie34 • 02/17/26 02:24 PM ET
No ya said he'd medical redshirt but were shown not mathematically possible
HokieRat • 02/17/26 01:37 PM ET
Been wondering same.**
B Hokie • 02/17/26 01:18 PM ET
He could have had a broken femur by now and be back playing
sacramento hokie • 02/17/26 12:54 PM ET
Ben Boggs broke his femur and was never the same
GCHokie34 • 02/17/26 01:12 PM ET
Oh they definitely treat them but I felt we were strung along as far
sacramento hokie • 02/17/26 04:31 PM ET
Who strung you along?**
GCHokie34 • 02/17/26 05:17 PM ET

2hhoop3 • 02/17/26 05:40 PM ET
I'm not aware of MY saying anything other than he's close...
GCHokie34 • 02/17/26 05:58 PM ET
I am aware of the comments.....
2hhoop3 • 02/17/26 07:55 PM ET
If the semantics of "close" erodes your trust...
GCHokie34 • 02/17/26 08:27 PM ET

GCHokie34 • 02/17/26 09:42 AM ET
Haven’t you figured out yet
Moseley Hokie • 02/17/26 07:10 PM ET
Working your way back could include spot duty and min restrictions

He isn't eligible for medical hardship ◄
GCHokie34 • 02/17/26 10:51 AM ET
how long has it been since Hokiepro was a team manager at W&M?**
HOKIE75-79 • 02/17/26 12:28 PM ET
Who/when gave a "green light"? if he was cleared to return to practice
6thStreetHokie • 02/17/26 08:31 AM ET
Doesn’t explain why MY said he was going to play in game 2 weeks ago
uber hokie • 02/17/26 08:34 PM ET
CMY “he’s got the green light” 5 days ago on TTL
hokiepro • 02/17/26 10:52 AM ET
Maybe there is a misunderstanding of what "green light" means.

Enjoying the ride is harder in this college sports environment **
hokiepro • 02/17/26 12:11 PM ET
Its really tough to enjoy games when I dont know what injuries are
GCHokie34 • 02/17/26 06:00 PM ET
It’s really tough to enjoy this board with a smart-A
hokiepro • 02/17/26 06:13 PM ET
Since when have you ever cared about making the board enjoyable considering
NokieHokie • 02/17/26 09:16 PM ET
You can wonder about things without publicly posting your theory
GCHokie34 • 02/17/26 06:25 PM ET
Pro - its early man - let the meds do their thing, then post...**
U2Hokie • 02/17/26 07:35 AM ET
