Bucky disagrees, I am siding with him. VT hoops is lagging timing wise

Most ACC schools have signed 2-4 players out of the portal to date. If Frazier had not come back, we would have 0 like 2 other crappy programs in our conference. Bucky does not pull punches generally. "We won't be able to be as selective as we'd like to be. We have to fill a roster, and this season is different than any other season because with the lawsuit, that stuff that was going on, most of the players this year went to the portal early because the compensation out there was significant early because most programs thought they needed to spend a large percentage of their money before this lawsuit was settled," McMillan said. "And so because of that, a lot of players are not available and particularly at the level of player that we need in the SEC."

16 PPG and almost six assists/game. I'll take him. **
YBYSAIAHokie • 04/10/25 02:20 PM ET
That would be a great pickup no doubt
catdaddy • 04/10/25 12:51 PM ET
Yeah, could be.

Chris ColemanAdmin • 04/10/25 09:25 AM ET
Yea to me the biggest risk is how they all interact with each other.
RCush13 • 04/10/25 09:35 PM ET
Is it dead for agents? Feel like that is a new loop hole. **
