This isn’t what I’ve read from multiple sources.

State it seemed like there were some issues with their basketball budget in terms of NIL and where they would position money. Now with Wade they may have secured more financial commitments. Uva on the other hand seems poised to be in the top 20 of NIL for basketball. They have pretty openly stated they will have 8-9 million for men’s basketball this upcoming season. That’s an avg of over 500k per player (it won’t obviously be evenly distributed).

It's funny — big difference between UVa/NCSU and FSU/Miami coaches.
David CunninghamAdmin • 03/22/25 01:34 PM ET
I interacted with Odom when he was at VT

Agreed on quality VCU hired coaches, but do you know you can edit the post,
Stech • 03/21/25 10:19 PM ET
Why do I believe this was a done deal 2-3 weeks ago?**
ancient alien 2018 • 03/21/25 09:49 PM ET
Handshake deal for a number of days
wahoo2023 • 03/22/25 09:58 AM ET
Not quite 2 but it was**
VTSweaterMan • 03/22/25 06:34 AM ET
Ryan not Mike. But he and Wade are quality hires.
millmtnhokie • 03/21/25 07:34 PM ET

Young is a good coach. Needs a bit of talent.**
UTPr0sim • 03/21/25 10:38 PM ET
They are, although I think Wade is the stronger hire.
Gobbler Guru • 03/21/25 08:09 PM ET
Wade will have more money than Odom…
Rev.Zeke Vodka • 03/21/25 09:50 PM ET
Rumor that Griff Aldrich will be Odom's GM.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/22/25 11:50 AM ET
He should've hired Stephanie Ballein.**
NokieHokie • 03/22/25 12:47 PM ET
That is what was reported here on local news**

This isn’t what I’ve read from multiple sources. ◄
RCush13 • 03/22/25 07:59 AM ET
Wade has been assured…
Rev.Zeke Vodka • 03/22/25 01:00 PM ET
Meaning the NIL money was earmarked for paying out whatever buyout Keatts
Hokie 04 • 03/23/25 01:43 PM ET
Not sure all the $$ involved in NCSU basketball is reflected
I love VT! • 03/22/25 08:04 AM ET
Wade is the sleezyest coach i
sideline guy • 03/21/25 10:32 PM ET
But is there such a thing as sleaze anymore?
Will StewartAdmin • 03/22/25 09:05 AM ET
I took a picture of that restaurant when therr for the football game in '23
Hokie 04 • 03/23/25 01:45 PM ET
You may want to......
2hhoop3 • 03/22/25 09:47 AM ET
Exactly - NIL in theory will have to be real. There may be full fledged
vtfin91 • 03/22/25 12:20 PM ET
Odom is the safe and correct hire
wahoo2023 • 03/21/25 08:57 PM ET
Interesting on Aldrich, hadn’t heard that..didn’t know he was leaving
HokieSA • 03/22/25 09:39 AM ET
Aldrich and Odom went to HSC together
wahoo2023 • 03/22/25 09:47 AM ET
They've worked together well before.
I love VT! • 03/22/25 10:10 AM ET
They few from VCU won’t be able to get in.
sideline guy • 03/21/25 10:35 PM ET
A thought on Ryan Odom..
Rev.Zeke Vodka • 03/21/25 10:13 PM ET
Rev refresh my memory. How close was VT to hiring Odom? I think I remember
RUHokie • 03/22/25 07:54 AM ET
Very close
Rev.Zeke Vodka • 03/22/25 02:53 PM ET
Wise move!.......
2hhoop3 • 03/22/25 04:04 PM ET
Fairly close, I believe.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/22/25 11:52 AM ET
Downgrade from Bennett, definitely a huge downgrade**
ombandit • 03/21/25 08:57 PM ET
100%**
millmtnhokie • 03/21/25 08:28 PM ET
Not a stretch as Bennett was one of the best. **
