Bennet's style of play is to blame

Coach Young is a great coach in every way except recruiting.
BigDaddyHokie • 03/17/23 09:56 AM ET
It’s not that simple. Players want to go to programs that win perennially.

To be a “great coach” for me, he has to win some post season games.
Durham Hokie • 03/17/23 01:10 PM ET
Only if you don't count the ACCT as post season. Hopefully we will get

Again with the "should have" stuff that is not rooted in reality.**
VTCALS72 • 03/17/23 12:35 PM ET
please... give it a rest. Bash CMY from your living room, not here **

Postner the recently fired GT coach won the acct. I think Young is a good
Durham Hokie • 03/17/23 02:39 PM ET
He’s a fine recruiter, not a great roster manager
soflahokie • 03/17/23 10:30 AM ET
Good point about the guards. This is a valid criticism of MY
GretnaHokie • 03/17/23 10:45 AM ET
Maddox was not much of a factor when he was playing this past season **
Durham Hokie • 03/17/23 01:15 PM ET
I am not sure......
2hhoop3 • 03/17/23 12:57 PM ET
We had those 4 with Collins expected to play 10 min a game
hokiepro • 03/17/23 10:35 AM ET
Collins was expected to redshirt, MY even talked about it
soflahokie • 03/17/23 11:21 AM ET
^^^^this^^^^**
millmtnhokie • 03/17/23 11:18 AM ET
VT is naturally limited from a recruiting standpoint.
VT ChemE 1986 • 03/17/23 10:19 AM ET
CMY and HIS STAFF have recruited as well as other VT staffs
millmtnhokie • 03/17/23 10:12 AM ET
Simply not true. What metrics are you using? We have top 150 talent
catdaddy • 03/17/23 10:36 AM ET
Why didn't you......
2hhoop3 • 03/17/23 11:18 AM ET
Because people like you will cry about it.. and I would prefer to not do
catdaddy • 03/17/23 03:35 PM ET
Not crying....
2hhoop3 • 03/17/23 03:38 PM ET
I too prefer that posters attempt to back up their positions...
No_Limit_Hokie • 03/17/23 04:37 PM ET
Mea Culpa on me!
catdaddy • 03/17/23 05:30 PM ET
Good on you....
2hhoop3 • 03/17/23 06:39 PM ET
Lets ask CC.. what data measure do you use (or what should we use?)
catdaddy • 03/17/23 02:56 PM ET
I think you should.....
2hhoop3 • 03/17/23 03:05 PM ET
yeah, if someone is going to blast the coach for recruiting failures, make
reestuart • 03/17/23 01:07 PM ET
Where are the "metrics" that say Brent is better? You using star rankings?
GretnaHokie • 03/17/23 11:00 AM ET
Here is a link to past classes and ratings
millmtnhokie • 03/17/23 10:56 AM ET
Agree, in hindsight Miller is the only one of that class
NC Hoke • 03/17/23 11:45 AM ET
MY is recruiting at the same level as Buzz did
GretnaHokie • 03/17/23 10:12 AM ET
We got Rice, Collins, Buchanan & Wessler; all are
hokiepro • 03/17/23 10:02 AM ET
I think coach Young needs to work on his roster management.With the portal

Every high school recruit is a project.
HokieAl • 03/17/23 12:40 PM ET
Duke recruits are projects? No way**
Durham Hokie • 03/17/23 01:12 PM ET
So your one example is a place that historically signs

That’s true for any player whether they are freshmen, sophomore, junior, et
Durham Hokie • 03/17/23 02:06 PM ET
I think he's proven he can do that.
HokieJay • 03/17/23 10:55 AM ET
Camden was a 4 star recruit who went to Memphis and chose us over LSU
hokiepro • 03/17/23 10:21 AM ET
Not coming in but wouldn't you now call him a project having seen him play?**
NativeBurger • 03/17/23 10:27 AM ET
no project... just needs playing time **
whatIpostlike • 03/17/23 11:24 AM ET
Camden and Collins were never supposed to play this season
GretnaHokie • 03/17/23 10:17 AM ET
Why recruit them if they aren’t going to play?** ◄
Durham Hokie • 03/17/23 01:13 PM ET
Collins played more than he should have but he was not ever gonna be a
millmtnhokie • 03/17/23 10:30 AM ET
Agree with that.
GretnaHokie • 03/17/23 10:33 AM ET
With Collins think the minutes Kidd played. That’s how he would
millmtnhokie • 03/17/23 10:39 AM ET
Collins is almost the same player Alleyne was, just more athletic
soflahokie • 03/17/23 11:26 AM ET
Don’t see that at all. Alleyne has digressed. Look for Collins to improve **
millmtnhokie • 03/17/23 02:10 PM ET
Lol you can’t get much worse than Collins this year, Alleyne was consistent
soflahokie • 03/17/23 02:19 PM ET
When Green played with Delaney year one and two
millmtnhokie • 03/17/23 02:52 PM ET
Alleyne laid an egg at UConn**
BigDaddyHokie • 03/17/23 02:40 PM ET
Was a decent player at VT**
