I think this is the deepest team we've had, but way more unknown quantities

Last season we knew exactly what we were getting from each guy with Pedulla and Maddox being surprises, this year in order to be competitive we need the following to happen: - Pedulla averaged 4.6 fouls per 40 minutes, we absolutely cannot have our only PG foul out that often - Maddox has to play a more active role in the offense, he's not option #4 anymore - Basile is going to have to play closer to the basket, Mutts and Aluma were great because of their interior passing and finishing - MJ Collins has to do what no freshman has done under MY, be ready to play big minutes day 1 - Rice has to come back healthy and contribute - Cattoor can not fade in February, here are his January vs February 3p% splits the last 3 years: 2022 - 56% to 24%, 2021 - 50% to 35%, 2020 - 26% to 38% - None of Kidd, Wessler, Buchanan, or Camden have played a meaningful D1 game, we need serious minutes from the latter 2 ** Edited by soflahokie at 10/18/2022, 3:37:28 PM

Preseason polls don't mean a lot except something to talk
LXNTN_HOKIE 10/18/22 05:02 PM ET
I don't care much about pre-season rankings. Let's earn it on the court.

Ummm 352 Division 1 basketball schools
Vippie1 10/18/22 01:27 PM ET
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

?? Are you on the wrong board?**
vthokieq 10/18/22 08:11 AM ET
No, but keeping the football hyperbole out of basketball would be nice
soflahokie 10/18/22 08:56 AM ET
I do think we are getting ready to prove that

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
