Again Charlie Ward was an NBA level basketball player...

His development in the sport was hindered by his need to play football His career steals record, however, wouldn't be top 3 in Virginia Tech history He was a very talented basketball player, and is likely the most talented basketball/football player to ever do both And he averaged 10 ppg in his best year The Peterkin kid is not Charlie Ward's level It is very telling they needed to ask Mike Young to get on board with having him on the roster rather than Mike Young actively recruiting him He's not that level of player, and splitting time between two sports ensures he never will be

Pylons • 08/19/24 09:56 AM ET
