I do not think this is a loss for us.. roster wise

Good kid/player but his ranking is inflated (IMO) due to the HS/Summer ball program he played in. He did/does like VT a lot but I have always sort of considered him more of mid major kid.. like at Wofford, Belmont etc almost being the top end. He is/was very well coached and the system is pretty much the exact opposite that is run at VT. That said, Mike appeals to a lot of these kids that have tweener athleticism but I personally do not feel like it is a great fit skill wise.

Good recruiting news please
SC_Hokie • 09/25/24 12:02 AM ET
Sure would be nice to have some of that NIL money football is blowing...**

To be fair the money VT has been able to offer…

Do you believe CMY needs to fire everyone but Byers to rejuvenate
ancient alien 2018 • 09/26/24 08:08 PM ET
I think VT needs to rethink how its basketball staff is structured...
Cvillehoops13 • 09/26/24 10:52 PM ET
As a fan of CMY, It's obvious he and all but one asst. can't bring home
ancient alien 2018 • 10/03/24 08:30 PM ET
How deeply rooted are these “politics”?

1) Structural problems? Don't understand. 2) So nothing much changes until

Mike will retire

I doubt a new, younger HC would keep any of the old staff except the

Not all abt the $$
SC_Hokie • 09/26/24 06:44 PM ET
Well, football is an afterthought with me. How to do less with more $$**
ancient alien 2018 • 09/26/24 11:56 PM ET
And if they had more of that money...
GCHokie34 • 09/26/24 10:58 AM ET
GC. would $4-5 million NIL make a difference, or does VT need IU type $$
ancient alien 2018 • 09/26/24 08:05 PM ET
$4-5 million would be massive.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 09/26/24 10:10 PM ET
Are we in abt the same boat this season?
SC_Hokie • 09/27/24 12:39 AM ET
A little bit more this year I've heard, but not too much.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 09/27/24 10:12 AM ET
At this point I’m almost on board with dumping NIL support for football.
hokieZ71 • 09/27/24 07:26 PM ET
Sorry if this has been posted before
T-Austin • 09/27/24 10:32 AM ET
Thanks CC. $4-5 million could place VT ( CMY or a new HC) in the top 1/2
ancient alien 2018 • 09/26/24 10:37 PM ET
Wow! No wonder CMY has trouble competing with the other ACC
ancient alien 2018 • 09/26/24 10:23 PM ET
I think transfer recruiting is determined almost exclusively...

Cvillehoops, looks like VT missed on another pair of targets. As a hoops
ancient alien 2018 • 09/26/24 04:58 PM ET
I think there's still some chance on Mingo and very little on Scott...
Cvillehoops13 • 09/26/24 10:44 PM ET
Scott MSU bound?**
ancient alien 2018 • 09/26/24 11:50 PM ET
So not a NIL issue, just swinging for the fences and maybe not working out**
HokieRat • 09/26/24 08:48 AM ET
Our program has little to no swag for a HS kid. Being in the ACC is prob
catdaddy • 09/26/24 01:51 PM ET
Yes**
Cvillehoops13 • 09/26/24 09:51 AM ET
So if/when CMY doesn't get Scott or Mingo, what other player's names are
ancient alien 2018 • 09/26/24 01:20 AM ET
Simon Walker thursday at 5:00. 1/3 chance Frosty the Redhead Friday. UM
ancient alien 2018 • 09/25/24 02:15 AM ET
Sigh!!! "Well, bye".**
ancient alien 2018 • 09/25/24 05:46 PM ET
Chances on Walker for tomorrow? **

Home state team but not a good fit in my opinion

Agree. I guess VT raids a Southern conference team for another 3* CG. What

Not getting him, that's my understanding.

Hopefully, "Plan D" is Scott and/or Mingo. If not, I suppose "Plan E,F OR G

In the era of transfer portal, perhaps it is worth taking the risk?
HokieAl • 09/25/24 05:19 PM ET
Seems legitimately crazy to me that they didn't take Crotty
Gobbler-100 • 09/25/24 05:05 PM ET
CMY thought he had 4 of a kind with other recruits! Other HCs pulled out

Thanks. The hits keep coming. **

Exactly. We prioritized Frost over Crotty. Maybe we wouldn't have gotten

We would have gotten him.**

Chris ColemanAdmin • 09/27/24 10:27 AM ET
Definitely need all gone except Giltner. Need a asst. or two that can close

If there ARE shortcomings, I seriously doubt they would be related to MY.
