flourish as a Hokie. My point being that GCHokie was howling at the moon about how all hokie fans were idiots and we didn’t deserve to have a player like Neo - becasue he was a guaranteed first round pick. If Neo goes to UNC as reported, then he wasn’t a first round pick. I think, I was just saying that there is a guru among us who an absolutely REFUSES to be wrong about anything - even though he force-fed us all the narrative that Neo was a GUARANTEED first rounder all season long. If anyone dared question this judgement, he doubled down on it - often resulting in name calling and berating posters. (Many of us thought Neo needed an additional year to adjust - and those people were blown out of the water for saying as much - eventhough we were honest about it and generally pulling for Neo all along). That’s all. Nothing more to this post. I thought our board guru would show a little humility and own up to it. I was wrong. 😳 If GC spent 1/3 of his time on this board educating fans vs trolling them, we would all be genius fans, right? I also think, sometimes, fans just want to be fans. Nothing more, nothing less. As far as Neo goes, I’m really happy for him! Good job, and I think he made the best possible deal for himself - the way I see it. I would have done the same thing. On a personal note, my daughter is currently playing college sports (not basketball), two of my first cousins played D1 sports (one as a Hokie) and I work with two former VT O-linemen, and a good friend of mine that lived beside me growing up was the starting quarterback for VT for a couple of years. So… I’m a vested college sports fan. I got my undergraduate from VT. I’m a hokie through and through. No need for me to reference GCHokie’s former posts to prove to himself that he was saying these things and how he continually called us all idiots. Anyone that spent any time here knows what was said. I usually just sit back and read. But I’ve been patiently waiting all season to point out the fact that GC was incorrect here. GC will argue that Neo taking 4 mil is apples to apples to a late first round pick. But GC also argued that another year in college made him older and therefore less desirable to NBA teams - so Neo transferring was off the table. He can either own it - or continue to talk trash about it, maybe he will talk theoretical circles around it. I won’t engage any further. I know what was said. $4 mil… is more than I will ever make in a year. Great job to Neo. I also think he will make a vast improvement in year two. I’ll be pulling for him (when he’s not playing the Hokies).
