Yeah I was being sarcastic.

I got to see storm play during his wofford career. I think a lot of things came together at the end of his hokie year including adjustments by storm and the rest of the team. I think storm tried to do a bit too much early in the season. He also had to play a lot more than he did at wofford, who was deeper at the point position than Vt was. Most of the starters on wofford could bring the ball up the court, including their bigs. So it took a lot of pressure off storm. He didn’t have that flexibility at VT. Storms record as a point guard against acc teams at wofford and while he was at vt shows he was certainly acc quality. Glad they won the acc so he shut up the critics to end the season.

Are you thinking of
ftsumterhokie • 01/02/26 09:17 PM ET
It’s really fun having a quick guard
Squatro • 01/02/26 06:19 PM ET
Reggie Stepp and Al Young come to mind**
WV Gobbler • 01/02/26 06:15 PM ET
Based on watching......
2hhoop3 • 01/02/26 02:25 PM ET
Thorns and Rankin were pretty quick**
soflahokie • 01/02/26 02:01 PM ET
Wasn't Brian Chase pretty fast?**
HokieBrazil • 01/02/26 10:03 AM ET
Actually he wasn't.
hokietom87 • 01/02/26 01:10 PM ET
Al Young**
NorthBeachHokie • 01/01/26 11:59 PM ET
Al Young was FAST, not as "quick" as Hammond.
SmithfieldHokie • 01/02/26 04:21 PM ET
I think Al was drafted by the NY Giants or am I dreaming that?**
WV Gobbler • 01/02/26 06:20 PM ET
yes, he was...remember seeing that. He was super athletic.**
SmithfieldHokie • 01/03/26 10:25 PM ET
Believe that’s correct.
RJHokie • 01/02/26 06:26 PM ET
Al Young was amazing. He brought the ball up court as a complete sprint**
PFHokie • 01/02/26 12:09 PM ET
Hank Thorns...he just wasnt as skilled as Hammond**

J Robinson **
Foxhall Hokie • 01/01/26 11:42 PM ET
I think J Rob is a good comparison. Hammond, Amani, Gurdak, & Johnson
goodbadugly • 01/02/26 10:16 AM ET
Much stronger too. Ben still young.
40ozDistrict • 01/02/26 01:19 AM ET
Robinson was quick.. but reminds me of Allen in the paint

Storm Murphy**
BleedinOandM • 01/01/26 08:27 PM ET
That guy was never acc quality. **
GreenvilleVT • 01/01/26 11:09 PM ET
Storm finally was a decent ACC player by the very end of his career.
Will StewartAdmin • 01/03/26 10:39 AM ET
Yeah I was being sarcastic. ◄
GreenvilleVT • 01/03/26 11:26 AM ET
That wasnt the question**
BleedinOandM • 01/02/26 08:08 AM ET
Some sharp-eyed observers said it years ago.
