The biggest part of the rift in Team Loaded are shoe affiliations

You're out over your skis when comparing football to basketball here. Your subject line should have been the whole post

Now I understand Pedulla is gone. Why can’t MY keep players? This is a

Show them the money......
AirborneHokie96 • 03/27/24 10:31 AM ET
With Pedulla I don't thinks its all about the NIL. His father is an ob/gyn.
jrc3rd • 03/27/24 11:14 AM ET
I would be surprised if it's not an Oklahoma or Texas school
AirborneHokie96 • 03/27/24 12:05 PM ET
ok a question
DMV Gobbler • 03/27/24 10:52 AM ET
I didn't see one question in your response...**
AirborneHokie96 • 03/27/24 10:59 AM ET
Players want to win. Can MY recruit enough to win
BAMAHOKIE • 03/27/24 10:30 AM ET
There's a sticky post on the sub board of portal targets.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/27/24 10:31 AM ET
Here’s who we reached out to recently:
Hokies0725 • 03/27/24 10:37 AM ET
For me, if Pedula has finished four years and has his degree
83hokieee • 03/27/24 10:15 AM ET
He's been here three years.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/27/24 10:25 AM ET
Staying or leaving
ClearbrookHokie • 03/27/24 10:05 AM ET
Hm
MFWHokie0607 • 03/27/24 10:44 AM ET
Probably because we don't have NIL money for MBB.
Walkin` Willie • 03/27/24 09:25 AM ET
Does VT really have none? I was reading/hearing the same for Football...
GoldCoast • 03/27/24 10:00 AM ET
That we have little money for MBB NIL is what I am reading on these boards
Walkin` Willie • 03/27/24 10:25 AM ET
My understanding with Kidd...
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/27/24 10:30 AM ET
Sounds like Miami or U of Florida landing spot
1980VT • 03/27/24 11:08 AM ET
Wow..."much higher". Hard to turn down if you know you arent going to NBA..
BleedinOandM • 03/27/24 10:38 AM ET
Many good players play in Europe or Australia now
hoosnowahokie • 03/27/24 10:53 AM ET
That's just sad. The NCAA needs to be imploded and
hoosnowahokie • 03/27/24 10:35 AM ET
I fear things are too far gone already and there’s no going back
GOHOKEE • 03/27/24 11:32 AM ET
Promotion/relegation could never work.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/27/24 10:39 AM ET
It doesn't have to be exactly structured like football divisions
hoosnowahokie • 03/27/24 10:52 AM ET
It’s the dark side of success, MY has made unwanted players into wanted
soflahokie • 03/27/24 08:57 AM ET
We are a feeder program now.
GreenvilleVT • 03/27/24 08:23 AM ET
Who could've possibly seen this coming? 🙄**
hokiekev 2k4 • 03/27/24 10:18 AM ET
Eh, the old poor ol' VT, can't be good fall back.

tallahasseehokie • 03/27/24 10:19 AM ET
If CMY had built a better roster around these guys
catdaddy • 03/27/24 08:37 AM ET
Don't think we are talking about "a few extra coin"
VT ChemE 1986 • 03/27/24 11:28 AM ET
IMHO I don’t think you can build a winning team “around” those kind of guys
soflahokie • 03/27/24 09:09 AM ET
It’s not just a basketball issue.
GreenvilleVT • 03/27/24 08:58 AM ET
Well, of course, in the macro.
catdaddy • 03/27/24 09:04 AM ET
If you build them, they will come. Develop a player and they can go...
HOKIE75-79 • 03/27/24 07:39 AM ET
I think there's a big answer there about where some retention issues...
Cvillehoops13 • 03/26/24 11:31 PM ET
I think we are gonna have to agree to disagree on this one...
GCHokie34 • 03/27/24 12:01 AM ET
Yeah I don’t see the anti-VT bias…
Cvillehoops13 • 03/27/24 12:57 AM ET
Personally knowing some of the coaches within Team Loaded
GCHokie34 • 03/27/24 09:24 AM ET
No there is a clear anti-uva/VT bias from Team Loaded
wahoo2023 • 03/27/24 09:10 AM ET
CMY emphasizes MD/DC and NC because there is more talent in those states.**
jrc3rd • 03/27/24 08:57 AM ET
I don’t know the history of this anti-VT bias from an AAU program
Pride_and_Joy • 03/27/24 07:55 AM ET
The biggest part of the rift in Team Loaded are shoe affiliations ◄
GCHokie34 • 03/27/24 09:34 AM ET
I wasn’t asking for your opinion. But thanks.

DMV Gobbler • 03/27/24 07:35 AM ET
deleted because it was really a dumb ?
ancient alien 2018 • 03/27/24 02:27 AM ET
So retention isn’t just about more NIL money
Pride_and_Joy • 03/26/24 11:34 PM ET
Source? Don't disbelieve you, just wondering.**
ancient alien 2018 • 03/26/24 11:09 PM ET
Social media is extremely viscous.
RJHokie • 03/26/24 11:08 PM ET
Rumor was that Pedulla evened received a death threat(s). If true, that's
jboyhokie • 03/27/24 05:29 AM ET
Agree. **
RJHokie • 03/27/24 10:43 AM ET
That' s not a rumor, he screenshot it and it on snapchat.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/27/24 09:59 AM ET
Stuff like that probably would not have happened prior to 2016**
Walkin` Willie • 03/27/24 10:29 AM ET
How would one know it was from someone associated with VT or even in-state?**
jrc3rd • 03/27/24 08:33 AM ET
Does it matter? It's sick and bears being taken seriously. **
TomTurkey • 03/27/24 10:36 AM ET
One wouldn’t know anything about it
tallahasseehokie • 03/27/24 10:11 AM ET
If that's the reason, how will that be better at his next stop?
HokiesACC2004 • 03/27/24 05:19 AM ET
As someone who has spent time in D1 basketball...
GCHokie34 • 03/27/24 09:36 AM ET
Viscous, or vicious? Not trying to be the word police, but it matters
VPI_1998 • 03/27/24 04:30 AM ET
AI override. **
RJHokie • 03/27/24 10:44 AM ET
Social media is everywhere. He won't escape it by leaving VT**
VT ChemE 1986 • 03/27/24 12:43 AM ET
Death threats are not everywhere...**
AirborneHokie96 • 03/27/24 10:43 AM ET
Right....so you are saying that the VT fan base is uniquely insane?**
VT ChemE 1986 • 03/27/24 11:31 AM ET
Not uniquely but the fanbase is up there with the best on unrealistic
AirborneHokie96 • 03/27/24 12:02 PM ET
Agreed, but I don't think we are alone in that malady.**
VT ChemE 1986 • 03/27/24 01:21 PM ET
So it’s vicious and ubiquitous. :)**
Pride_and_Joy • 03/27/24 07:58 AM ET
I agree
