20 wins? I wish I shared your optimism. Last year's team was our best

Roster in years and we didn't win 20.

I'm following. What is this roster's potential?
40ozDistrict • 05/08/26 11:32 PM ET
19-14, last 4 out in the expanded field. **
GoldCoast • 05/12/26 04:39 PM ET
Last year had WAY more potential, this years team will be more consistent
soflahokie • 05/11/26 09:06 AM ET
Different, but seems like basically a net zero on paper compared to 25-26.**
marcbvtgm • 05/10/26 02:24 PM ET
Tell me injury missed games. **
HokieDelNorte • 05/10/26 11:27 AM ET
Better than last year’s team.
NC Hoke • 05/10/26 12:02 AM ET
Worse than last season. Better than 2 years ago. NIT ceiling. **
Foxhall Hokie • 05/10/26 12:02 AM ET
.500 in ACC play **

I like that fact that CMY will not be constantly thinking:

Impossible to determine

Key is will Johnson and

On paper, I like these transfers more as a group than last year's bunch.
ancient alien 2018 • 05/09/26 08:43 PM ET
Some good guards in this group. Good, tough, guards raise expectations for
VT One • 05/09/26 01:55 PM ET
First four out.**

Jbohokie63 • 05/09/26 04:59 PM ET
Probably 0.500 overall.
VT ChemE 1986 • 05/09/26 12:02 AM ET
lol!!**
ancient alien 2018 • 05/09/26 02:45 AM ET
The Metrics so far like this team a lot
SC_Hokie • 05/09/26 01:48 AM ET
This team will be built differently from a traditional CMY team
VT ChemE 1986 • 05/09/26 10:40 AM ET
We have not had elite 3-pt shooting recently

20 wins? I wish I shared your optimism. Last year's team was our best ◄
YBYSAIAHokie • 05/09/26 08:41 AM ET
It was also our most injured roster in years.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 05/09/26 09:53 AM ET
...decades.**
EDGEMAN • 05/09/26 02:04 PM ET
I don’t think the outcome would have been appreciably different.
marcbvtgm • 05/09/26 10:56 AM ET
You cannot be serious! **
King of Hokies • 05/09/26 06:12 PM ET
VT lost 4 games by 1 possession...
GCHokie34 • 05/09/26 03:15 PM ET
They also won 3 OT games vs nothing special teams, no?
marcbvtgm • 05/10/26 02:29 PM ET
And being fully healthy would make those close wins less close
GCHokie34 • 05/10/26 03:42 PM ET
Definitely better. The question of mental toughness would remain.
Foxhall Hokie • 05/10/26 12:28 AM ET
VT was well above average in minutes missing during the season
GCHokie34 • 05/10/26 01:09 PM ET
One possession losses, were they …
1980VT • 05/09/26 06:16 PM ET
All three**
NC Hoke • 05/09/26 11:39 PM ET
Not sure what that has to do with the topic at hand...
GCHokie34 • 05/09/26 06:52 PM ET
Of course you don't.
marcbvtgm • 05/10/26 02:42 PM ET
VT shot 35% from the field against UVA...
GCHokie34 • 05/10/26 03:51 PM ET
They lost all their games that mattered down the stretch and had opps to…
GoldCoast • 05/09/26 05:41 PM ET
What does that have to do with being healthy?**
GCHokie34 • 05/09/26 05:58 PM ET
Have to agree, outside of Hammond no improvement at all**
H-SCokie • 05/09/26 12:29 PM ET
Wrong, among returning players Hammond Tobi and Johnson were all markedly
NC Hoke • 05/09/26 11:53 PM ET
Huh? Hammond, yes. Lawal, Johnson "markedly improved? How? Schutt? How?
marcbvtgm • 05/11/26 10:01 AM ET
Well…
NC Hoke • 05/11/26 05:20 PM ET
Lawal's ball handling was much improved? LOL. You're cherry picking stats
marcbvtgm • 05/12/26 11:01 AM ET

NC Hoke • 05/12/26 04:41 PM ET
Hammond was great, but I disagree about the rest...
HokieJonez • 05/09/26 01:30 PM ET
Yeah. Most unfortunately.**
