I think @saret......

nailed it with his first two sentences. The VT job has never been about a paycheck for CMY. It was about home, family and a belief he could help restore a program that provided him fond memories of his younger days. Moreover, the guy is not a quitter or a whiner, even with a few cracks seen this year. He sets his jaw and goes back to work and the more adversity the harder he works, at least that is my perspective of him. His dad, his uncle Norman and so on provided the family DNA. When he leaves VT, for whatever reason, I will be comfortable he gave VT everything he had. That does not mean he never made a mistake but, mistakes were not due to a lack of effort. I do not believe some of the people paid to support him could make a similar claim.

Schutt in portal**

Schutt will be a $750k-$1M player, he has proven production

For $750 we can get three good engineering professors**
UpperQuad • 04/03/26 10:49 PM ET
Can shoot most of the time and defend only sometime. Not a loss, IMO.**

Wish him the best. Hope he goes to a good team.**
OrlandoHokie • 04/03/26 02:32 PM ET
Sounds like Hammond Hansberry and Johnson is where the money went
TheHokieMan483 • 04/03/26 01:00 PM ET
Lmao best of luck getting anyone close to a proven big or mid major scorer
soflahokie • 04/03/26 06:09 PM ET
We can't afford someone who scored 18 at Valpo, maybe 8?**
HokieBrazil • 04/03/26 04:01 PM ET
What are the "system players" in this context? **
GoldCoast • 04/03/26 03:03 PM ET
Wouldn't be so sure, portal has over 2 weeks before closing
Vippie1 • 04/03/26 03:00 PM ET
LOL Good one. Contracts with players and/ or agents will be ASAP
ancient alien 2018 • 04/03/26 05:36 PM ET
Glad I could make you laugh
Vippie1 • 04/03/26 06:17 PM ET
Yeah those 3 are the heart and soul of the team

Gurdak and Schutt combined 12.5 pts and 5 RBs / game
jagerhokie • 04/03/26 01:58 PM ET
Finally a voice of sanity. Both are nice pieces but 1 trick ponies w/ flaws**

Even then, we finished a fairly respectable 8-12 in the ACC.
HokieNL • 04/03/26 04:40 PM ET
But Sands doesn't give a bowel movement about any of that.
Atlee Hokie • 04/03/26 03:03 PM ET
You ain't wrong!**

The only way Whit leaves before Sands leaves is if the BoV forces Sands ...
