I do think we are getting ready to prove that

I hear you but Basile has better numbers and played in a tougher conference coming in than did Aluma . I think we will compare favorably number wise at the 5 spot this year compared to the last 2 years scoring and reb. I can't think of a VT program that has done anything comparable to the ACCT run . VT beat 3 teams in a row that would go on to make very deep runs in the NCAA tourney were very talented and VT pretty much put beat downs on them It was more impressive than anything I have seen out of VT sports. I do think between Basile ,Poteat and Kidd that the 5 spot numbers will be very comparable to what Aluma did .

Preseason polls don't mean a lot except something to talk

I don't care much about pre-season rankings. Let's earn it on the court.

Ummm 352 Division 1 basketball schools

Seems reasonable since we lost 3 starters
HokieAl 10/18/22 12:13 PM ET
Lol are you serious? VT fans consistently amaze me
soflahokie 10/18/22 07:50 AM ET
We're a top 25 team

No, but keeping the football hyperbole out of basketball would be nice

I think this is the deepest team we've had, but way more unknown quantities
soflahokie 10/18/22 03:37 PM ET
I think this is mostly about Mike Young...

I don't think it's completely unreasonable....

Plus ncaa position does not relate to AP
tallahasseehokie 10/18/22 10:29 AM ET
We were 11 seed in ncaa last year. Do you think we are a 6 now?

UVA finished above us last year, lost nobody, and signed a top 15 class
soflahokie 10/18/22 08:59 AM ET
Disagree on major stretch
Woody 10/19/22 11:59 AM ET
This feels like our football preseason expectations, very forgiving to VT
soflahokie 10/19/22 12:45 PM ET
We're just seeing different things I guess- time will tell
Woody 10/19/22 03:12 PM ET
Pedulla averages 5 fouls per 40, can only be so effective on the bench
soflahokie 10/19/22 04:13 PM ET
UVA will be good
Coastal Hokie 10/18/22 06:16 AM ET
So will the Hokies****
subwayhokie 10/18/22 09:03 AM ET
Pre season games of note will determine how that is changed then off to the
