Oh he's going to be good...

He will (just like Pedulla and every other freshman) show signs of his pure skill that will make you think he could be the starting PG. He will also do things (some that most fans don't see) that will make it difficult to play him...again, just like any freshman If I asked for patience with Rodney Rice last year, who has a much higher ceiling, then I doubly ask for the same with Rechsteiner and Young. But Pedulla has enough deficiencies in his game (they all do) for some fans to call for his head and ask for Rechsteiner to take his place the moment he turns it over or Rechsteiner has a good 4 min stretch. Fans did the same with Pedulla when Storm Murphy was the PG. They do the same with every backup and starting QB in the history of the football program. It is what it is Bottom line...he is very talented, but he is a bit away from being very good

Has there been any updates on how the freshman are looking?
IronHokie • 07/14/23 09:27 AM ET
Specifically, the Big Man Wessler.**
YBYSAIAHokie • 07/16/23 10:34 AM ET
Definite project. FWIW.**
UTPr0sim • 07/16/23 01:10 PM ET
Most Centers are projects.
win-tech • 07/18/23 09:28 AM ET
So I’ve read on this board
tallahasseehokie • 07/18/23 02:24 AM ET
What is different about recruiting sites and bloggers...
GCHokie34 • 07/18/23 11:18 AM ET
Over who?**
tallahasseehokie • 07/18/23 10:55 PM ET
The guys on this Bd who have proven they know what they’re talking about **
Lancelot Link • 07/19/23 03:49 PM ET
And who are they?
YBYSAIAHokie • 07/20/23 10:37 AM ET
And just because someone posts a lot does not make them a guru
Hokey Pokey • 07/20/23 04:30 PM ET
Yep, they'd actually be currently employed by a college/professional team**
HokieRat • 07/21/23 09:33 AM ET
Again...bloggers and recruiting websites are employed by the college?**
GCHokie34 • 07/24/23 11:15 AM ET
I dont know what you're getting at? I don't think recruiting site writer or
HokieRat • 07/24/23 03:50 PM ET
And if there's one thing we know...
GCHokie34 • 07/24/23 03:56 PM ET
Lol former head coach turned major network tv analyst is far from
HokieRat • 07/24/23 04:57 PM ET
I spent 10 years coaching at the collegiate level...
GCHokie34 • 07/24/23 06:03 PM ET
Agreed**
GCHokie34 • 07/20/23 05:42 PM ET
But recruiting websites and blogs do?**
GCHokie34 • 07/20/23 12:54 PM ET
What did they say? **
YBYSAIAHokie • 07/18/23 08:48 AM ET
Here is an article that caught my attention
millmtnhokie • 07/18/23 04:25 PM ET
That’s one i posted- McGinnis should know just a bit about talent
tallahasseehokie • 07/18/23 11:02 PM ET
If he can have the kind of trajectory that Jay Huff had at UVA I would be
millmtnhokie • 07/20/23 12:34 PM ET
I think you're spot on there...
GCHokie34 • 07/20/23 06:00 PM ET
He's a project because his skill and understanding is far behind his size..
GCHokie34 • 07/19/23 10:02 PM ET
We definitely shouldn't need him to contribute this season and I agree that
vt90 • 07/20/23 11:25 AM ET
It is a given VT will need to find a portal 4/5 next season...
GCHokie34 • 07/20/23 12:54 PM ET
Guess we’ll see**
hokiepro • 07/20/23 11:10 AM ET
I respectfully disagree. **
YBYSAIAHokie • 07/20/23 10:39 AM ET
Thank you, tallahasseehokie**
YBYSAIAHokie • 07/19/23 10:15 AM ET
I’ve posted some articles previously- will search when I have a chance **
tallahasseehokie • 07/18/23 10:06 AM ET
On SoS podcast, Robbie Beran mentioned Rechsteiner as someone
VTKev80 • 07/15/23 10:04 AM ET
Rechsteiner seems to be much more mature as far as leadership ability
BEST2VT • 07/15/23 11:17 AM ET
The legend of the backup PG is undefeated**
GCHokie34 • 07/15/23 03:22 PM ET
Agree, but that’s not what I was implying.**
BEST2VT • 07/17/23 12:39 PM ET
Wasn't necessarily directed at you, more the conversation as a whole**
GCHokie34 • 07/17/23 02:51 PM ET
They always need to play more. Bench the starter.
GreenvilleVT • 07/17/23 08:02 AM ET
So what's YOUR analysis of LiL Pump? **
YBYSAIAHokie • 07/15/23 04:45 PM ET
Oh he's going to be good... ◄
GCHokie34 • 07/15/23 06:40 PM ET
I'm assuming behind Rice for PG but ahead of Cattoor. It would be good...
vtbball80 • 07/16/23 01:57 PM ET
Yeah I would call Rechsteiner the emergency PG this season...
GCHokie34 • 07/16/23 02:06 PM ET
Fingers crossed that we can stay healthy this season
EDGEMAN • 07/17/23 05:36 AM ET
Good points!**
MDHokie79 • 07/16/23 12:06 PM ET
Seems strength wise and shooting ability he’s more ready than SP was **
AnotherTechW • 07/15/23 09:48 PM ET
He's behind Pedulla at the same stage shooting-wise
GCHokie34 • 07/16/23 09:02 AM ET
How can that be? I've never seen B-Rech miss a shot.
win-tech • 07/16/23 11:49 AM ET
True. Took about a year to develop an enlarged Pedulla Oblongata.**
KCHokie2 • 07/16/23 12:54 AM ET
I get your point but they were Robbie Beran’s words, not those of a fan
VTKev80 • 07/15/23 04:32 PM ET
I think Mutts shouted the praises of Buchanan last season...
