Especially if you consider his honesty may have cost Rodney Rice

playing this year. If we are to believe message board rumors, Rice wants the PG1 job and Young told him it was Pedulla's job to lose. Rice is so miffed, he sits out an entire year of basketball. About mid-way through the season when Pedulla sits out with a foot injury, turned into a turnover machine, and shooting poorly (Young said "left a bit to be desired”) he probably wishes he had Rice at PG. I'm of the belief we would have won 3-4 more games with a PG whose first instinct was to protect the ball and run the offense, made his teammates better and shared the ball.

Of the Hokie players that portaled, were any of them asked to leave? **

Camden...

Are you surprised Wessler wasn't? **
chagerma • 04/04/24 04:26 PM ET
Camden and Collins, I think. Kidd was probably not going to be
WestEndHokie39 • 04/04/24 09:19 AM ET
I heard that MJ Collins was. Not sure if true.**
santafe • 04/04/24 08:20 AM ET
Somehow I doubt he was asked to leave. What I think happened was...
EDGEMAN • 04/04/24 09:21 AM ET
Definitely what I think**
WildTurkE • 04/04/24 09:56 AM ET
Well, he was a starter here, not a backup.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 04/04/24 09:32 AM ET
It seems strange to me that you tell someone

WildTurkE • 04/04/24 03:20 PM ET
Seems to me honesty.......
2hhoop3 • 04/04/24 03:44 PM ET
That is an intirely too logical take :-)**
Woody • 04/04/24 02:34 PM ET
interesting - what happened to players deciding who starts and sits?
reece4vt • 04/04/24 12:33 PM ET
He's basically a 12-15 minute player who was playing 30+
1980VT • 04/04/24 10:52 AM ET
I always felt he would be the perfect 6th man
cburgroop • 04/04/24 09:48 AM ET
I think you're correct. But how can Young afford to put a guy
WildTurkE • 04/04/24 09:43 AM ET
Mike Young has always been honest with his players.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 04/04/24 09:45 AM ET
In this day and age, a lot of people don't appreciate honesty. They want
atlhokie1 • 04/04/24 11:58 AM ET
Ok, then lie to them.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 04/04/24 11:59 AM ET
Oh no, I agree with being honest. Just saying as a manager, a lot of
atlhokie1 • 04/04/24 12:04 PM ET
Who was he going to be sitting behind this year? I seem to have lost track.**
Hokie622 • 04/04/24 09:36 AM ET
Behind two guys we bring in through the portal.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 04/04/24 09:38 AM ET
Some pretty strong evidence that we should hold nothing against these guys
Hokie622 • 04/04/24 09:44 AM ET
Yep, that's definitely true.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 04/04/24 09:51 AM ET
Rodney Rice, most likely - nvm ... that was last year
Hokie Chief • 04/04/24 09:38 AM ET
No, I'm talking about for next season.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 04/04/24 09:39 AM ET
Right ... and I misread his original question
Hokie Chief • 04/04/24 09:42 AM ET
This is the right answer**
HokieRat • 04/04/24 09:31 AM ET
Sounds reasonable to me. At this point I'm not sure who he would be
santafe • 04/04/24 09:31 AM ET
Probably Camden**
