if your argument is play Camden and 2 frosh more you're not gonna win many

arguments. I've seen very little from Camden that makes me think he'll ever play critical minutes in the ACC....let's call a spade a spade. Rech and Young seem to have great potential but they're freshman and early in the year they don't have any experience and by the end of the year they still aren't reliable enough to be out there in crunch time. This isn't unique to VT basketball with the rare exception of the phenom who goes to Kentucky or Duke or something who would otherwise be playing in the NBA if they could....very few teams play freshman a lot and there's a reason....if they are, it's generally because they don't have any halfway decent upperclassman (see ND).

Yep. And if you had told me at the beginning of the season that Rech
Femoyer Hokie • 03/13/24 02:35 PM ET
Even if we had a bench, I'm not convinced
BuffaloTraceHokie • 03/13/24 02:34 PM ET
Young should have played a lot more imo....
HokiePail • 03/13/24 02:50 PM ET
I think most coaches are around a 7/8 man rotation. We just do not have..
Jackie VT • 03/13/24 02:40 PM ET
Jaydon Young?**
OakHillHokie • 03/13/24 02:40 PM ET
Young should have played a lot more this year...
HokiePail • 03/13/24 02:52 PM ET
That's simply not true...
GCHokie34 • 03/13/24 02:38 PM ET
I can only speak to what I've seen regarding his tenure at VT.
BuffaloTraceHokie • 03/13/24 02:44 PM ET
You’ve seen that this season due to necessity, not choice.
JSCVPI20 • 03/13/24 02:54 PM ET
And again, I think CMY is stubborn about a few things...
BuffaloTraceHokie • 03/13/24 03:00 PM ET
His last losing season was 8 years ago...
GCHokie34 • 03/13/24 03:15 PM ET
Would also like a couple of few big dance wins**
lazarus1 • 03/13/24 04:54 PM ET
I'm not sure we disagree on this point...
BuffaloTraceHokie • 03/13/24 03:24 PM ET
Be specific...
GCHokie34 • 03/13/24 03:27 PM ET
Your last sentence would be an amazing solution!!
BuffaloTraceHokie • 03/13/24 03:51 PM ET
Why not use more than 13 scholarships?
GCHokie34 • 03/13/24 03:56 PM ET
I think we agree to a certain extent...
BuffaloTraceHokie • 03/13/24 04:22 PM ET
In his first year at VT...
GCHokie34 • 03/13/24 02:53 PM ET
Way too many facts in this post - slow down **
AnotherTechW • 03/13/24 03:04 PM ET
I'm not sure what your point is here... other than to argue.
BuffaloTraceHokie • 03/13/24 02:58 PM ET

ME Hokie 07 • 03/13/24 03:34 PM ET
Again...
BuffaloTraceHokie • 03/13/24 03:52 PM ET
Stubborn has nothing to do with it.
NC Hoke • 03/13/24 03:32 PM ET
What was factually incorrect?**

Your OP

They won 18 games with a depleted roster playing a Top 30 schedule...
GCHokie34 • 03/13/24 03:24 PM ET
So many things to respond to here, and we could
BuffaloTraceHokie • 03/13/24 03:47 PM ET
As a coach, there is a huge difference between mistakes...
GCHokie34 • 03/13/24 03:53 PM ET
I agree here...
BuffaloTraceHokie • 03/13/24 04:24 PM ET
No player is going to be mistake free...
GCHokie34 • 03/13/24 04:31 PM ET
How is 18 wins not very good against a very tough schedule?
HokieAl • 03/13/24 03:11 PM ET
I'm not entirely sure what you are responding to... **
