Alleyne to UConn**
GCHokie34 • 04/21/22 05:05 PM ET
Best of luck to Alleyne.
win-tech • 04/22/22 01:12 PM ET
I wish him the best
VBpescador • 04/21/22 08:53 PM ET
Still don't get it....Starts every game & Shows no loyalty to the Hokies.**
HokieJG • 04/21/22 06:12 PM ET
The guy wants to play and with Cattoor, Maddox and Rodney Rice coming in ..
Hokiestud • 04/23/22 10:13 PM ET
This guy took way more abuse from fans
VPI63 • 04/23/22 03:18 PM ET
Loyalty = 2012, haven't you seen the movie 'One on One'???**
banishedtothelounge • 04/22/22 09:32 AM ET
Get out of here with that loyalty BS!
HeisenBurg13 • 04/22/22 07:32 AM ET
Makes no sense.**
TboneParkerVT • 04/22/22 12:33 AM ET
It does when your fans tag you and your family to tweets

Hypothesis: the majority of critics have never played competitively**

Once again, I say "thank you"!! I have wondered how many couch and desk ..
HOKIE75-79 • 04/22/22 10:18 PM ET
Well he might just learn the grass isn't always greener
ShockWaveVT • 04/22/22 03:42 PM ET
Well, thank goodness UConn fans are angels.
Stork • 04/22/22 10:20 AM ET

Jbohokie63 • 04/22/22 11:04 AM ET
And now he has an ahole coach to deal with...

The Huskies have won 4 NCAA Tournament Championships (1999, 2004, 2011 and

You are over estimating the effect of fan behavior on the decision, by a
icelus • 04/22/22 12:46 PM ET
No. I am not just throwing out rumors.
AirborneHokie96 • 04/22/22 12:53 PM ET
So how would you compare the "harassment" of to what Cattoor and Murphy got**
VTCALS72 • 04/24/22 06:15 AM ET
Not sure. I don't talk to their parents
AirborneHokie96 • 04/24/22 09:16 AM ET
You certainly can't fault a kid for wanting to play at UConn.
Stork • 04/22/22 11:06 AM ET
So our motto should be "Family...except when in a slump"**
AirborneHokie96 • 04/22/22 11:07 AM ET
This is big boy sports and everyone doesn't get a participation trophy**
86hokie89 • 04/22/22 11:49 AM ET
That's an excuse for being the weak minded
AirborneHokie96 • 04/22/22 11:51 AM ET
You must not have any siblings.
Stork • 04/22/22 11:19 AM ET
I got two siblings
AirborneHokie96 • 04/22/22 11:50 AM ET
I was joking about families not getting along.**
Stork • 04/22/22 11:58 AM ET
My sister is still mad that I didn't go to her high school graduation
AirborneHokie96 • 04/22/22 12:18 PM ET
Beating ourselves up accomplishes nothing. We are no worse than
VT ChemE 1986 • 04/22/22 11:17 AM ET
Marshall fans did the same to Grant Wells and its why he transferred**
AirborneHokie96 • 04/22/22 11:52 AM ET
Well he just transferred to a P5 football school with more demanding fans.
NokieHokie • 04/24/22 10:18 AM ET
You must not know any WV college football fans…**
Femoyer74 • 04/24/22 10:37 AM ET
I actually do.**
NokieHokie • 04/24/22 10:39 AM ET
Here is an article about Wells**
AirborneHokie96 • 04/24/22 10:30 AM ET
How many WVians needed to look up copacetic?**
Maroon Effect • 04/24/22 10:42 AM ET
Yeah, not sure why he came here though, if that's his driving factor... :)**
NokieHokie • 04/24/22 10:36 AM ET
As usual, you deflect
AirborneHokie96 • 04/24/22 10:39 AM ET
There was no deflection. I was talking about Wells, not Alleyne. If Wells
NokieHokie • 04/24/22 10:46 AM ET
Are expectations that much different from Marshall to VT?
AirborneHokie96 • 04/24/22 10:50 AM ET
I believe so, yes. And for sure, the sheer volume of fans are higher for VT
NokieHokie • 04/24/22 10:54 AM ET
Agreed. Our athletic staff is so large. Adults should step in.**
Stork • 04/22/22 11:20 AM ET
What the heck is wrong with some people?
VaTechHokiesACC • 04/22/22 09:41 AM ET
Have you ever changed jobs? **
Jackie VT • 04/21/22 11:56 PM ET
“Loyalty” is a two way street
Rev.Zeke Vodka • 04/21/22 11:03 PM ET
Must not be looking both ways!
HokieJG • 04/22/22 07:53 AM ET
LOL. A board search shows you asking numerous times for Maddox to start...
Hokie Kev • 04/22/22 10:41 AM ET
Good One! **
HokieJG • 04/22/22 02:07 PM ET
YES!!!**
HOKIE75-79 • 04/22/22 11:59 AM ET
THANK YOU!!!! Needed saying...**
HOKIE75-79 • 04/22/22 07:30 AM ET
Had a bad year, took a beating from the fans, needs a change of scenery**
hokietom87 • 04/21/22 09:08 PM ET
Good luck to him.....
2hhoop3 • 04/21/22 09:12 PM ET
There are vocal idiots everywhere but
AirborneHokie96 • 04/22/22 08:17 AM ET
This isn't about loyalty....
vtbball80 • 04/21/22 07:41 PM ET
You obviously did not read the board during the season..
HOKIE75-79 • 04/22/22 07:34 AM ET
It was absolutely disgusting **
VaTechHokiesACC • 04/22/22 09:40 AM ET
Kid has to do what he thinks is right for him
VaTechHokiesACC • 04/21/22 06:55 PM ET
"Loyalty" Dang, you must be as old as I am.
C67VTCC • 04/21/22 06:16 PM ET
I think you rounded up from 12.5%**
ChrisLords • 04/22/22 12:53 AM ET
The "good ol days" likely weren't as good as you think they were.**
VT_Consul • 04/21/22 09:38 PM ET
Saw it in Richmond area HS FB 25 years ago**

HokieJG • 04/21/22 06:25 PM ET
Probably a win win everyone involved.
catdaddy • 04/21/22 05:36 PM ET
UCONN fans seem excited they have a quality 6th man
soflahokie • 04/21/22 05:29 PM ET
Or playing time was never a factor**
GCHokie34 • 04/21/22 05:32 PM ET
You mean a segment of our fanbase that went after him and his family
AirborneHokie96 • 04/21/22 05:49 PM ET
Wow, glad my social media is limited to only TSL…**
VTKev80 • 04/21/22 06:10 PM ET
Glad I have no social media.**
Stork • 04/22/22 10:22 AM ET
Even a lot of TSL posts about Alleyne were not “purposeful” **
vtbball80 • 04/21/22 06:30 PM ET
Yep, but hopefully not directed at him or his family **
VTKev80 • 04/21/22 06:32 PM ET
It was on social media **
AirborneHokie96 • 04/21/22 08:18 PM ET
Would be interesting if true, there's a lot of things that correlate there
soflahokie • 04/21/22 05:38 PM ET
Hope he crushes it up there. **
