Really like what Clemson did in the portal

Godfrey, Davidson, Wahlin, Welling I’d put as one of the better front courts in the league. UVA was after Davidson and Wahlin, and they are going to be good acc players, especially Wahlin who should have some increased burn at Clemson as opposed to Utah. Lot of inside out ability, and I think Godfrey is going to be a thorn in the side of a lot of teams as a physical athletic 4. Guards are good too in Butta Johnson, Hunter (who I think takes a step this year) and Jestin Porter (transfer scorer). Mentioned it above but Brownell puts together top 4 finishes like Bennett used to do. Dude is just winning consistently. Like the guards that wake got in the portal. Akins, Calmese, Mason (from UW) and Myles Colvin brings them right back in terms of guard production. Colvin could be a breakout type that Sallis was coming from Gonzaga. Post looks lite but don’t think it’s a crazy stretch to look at that roster and say top 10 roster in acc. Same for Cal, Madsen put together a complete portal haul imo, does it work? Maybe, but to say Cal is in conversation as that 9-11th acc team isn’t too far off. Same with SMU. Enfield can coach. Walters from Michigan will do well in an expend role. Like Pierre a lot as well.

I'd say 4

5 is possible after Duke, UL, NCSU, UNC**
hokiepro 06/18/25 12:08 PM ET
NCSU made a huge upgrade @ HC.
Lancelot Link 06/18/25 03:17 PM ET
Maybe after Clemson instead of UNC**
hokiepro 06/18/25 12:11 PM ET
Top half certainly, 5th/6th as a ceiling
wahoo2023 06/18/25 11:31 AM ET
On paper our toughest games are road games
hokiepro 06/18/25 12:30 PM ET
Well sounds like some opportunities to snag a few Quad 1 Wins to me! 👀😎**
VickFlick_Skip 06/18/25 01:20 PM ET
Fingers crossed
jtHokie05 06/18/25 10:54 AM ET
I would not describe this team as having a mediocre supporting cast....
vtbball80 06/18/25 11:58 AM ET
Fair
jtHokie05 06/18/25 12:40 PM ET
Balanced roster with great positional versatility
hokiepro 06/18/25 02:59 PM ET
I get it. For right now it's all "on paper." Can't wait to see..
vtbball80 06/18/25 01:45 PM ET
I’m going all in - Top 3
VT ChemE 1986 06/18/25 10:13 AM ET
I’m getting very bullish on this team too! Trying to figure out if

Gotta finish Top 5 to lock into the NCAAT
kingofcassell 06/18/25 09:33 AM ET
The ACC has had tournament quality teams left out, where...
EDGEMAN 06/18/25 10:51 AM ET
Top half, yes. I think fifth or sixth would be reasonable. But
David CunninghamAdmin 06/18/25 08:52 AM ET
Agree except while MY is a good coach, coaching up quickly isn't a strength**
marcbvtgm 06/18/25 10:30 AM ET
Perhaps you would be.....
2hhoop3 06/18/25 10:34 AM ET
Good grief. Just look at the pre-Jan 1 records for MY’s VT teams.
marcbvtgm 06/18/25 10:44 PM ET
Thanks for the reply......
2hhoop3 06/19/25 07:45 AM ET
Agree, top half. If better than this, wonderful .....

Too late! Where's "We're Going" when you need him....**
RRHokie90 06/18/25 10:47 AM ET
Sounds like the talent is there**
Hockeydad 06/18/25 08:42 AM ET
A bunch of ACC teams can say the same.**
marcbvtgm 06/18/25 10:28 AM ET
Name em**
GCHokie34 06/18/25 11:00 AM ET
It doesn't mean they (or VT fans either) are right. That's the point.
marcbvtgm 06/19/25 09:25 AM ET
Lots of ACC teams with clear top half and better talent
wahoo2023 06/18/25 11:57 AM ET
Hard no on Clemson
GCHokie34 06/18/25 12:12 PM ET
Really like what Clemson did in the portal
wahoo2023 06/18/25 01:24 PM ET
The statement wasn't "who can coach"
GCHokie34 06/18/25 01:32 PM ET
Bit confused but the thread
wahoo2023 06/18/25 02:03 PM ET
Let's clear up the confusion then...
