Bench would probably help, but we need athletes

Concerning Buzz, I do not care if he cheated to get those players. I do not care if he cheated a ton to get those players. The whole idea of "cheating" in a system as corrupt and backwards as big-time college athletics is meaningless. Even if cheating led to a five-year probation (and I doubt it would given the fecklessness of the NCAA) I, along with most fans, would trade it for even a Sweet Sixteen or Elite 8. I don't care if the wins are "vacated." I saw the team play and had the experience. The punishment is unlikely, inadequate, and somewhat meaningless. MY does not have enough athletes. He often does not have enough athletes, but the 2024 roster especially lacked in athleticism. MY needs to get more athletes on his roster. If he does, he will enjoy a long career at Tech. If he does not, he will not last.

NIL, Retain & Portal**
VT757to276 • 03/13/24 02:48 PM ET
Sadly, I don't see much getting better as long as MY is around
hokiekev 2k4 • 03/13/24 02:39 PM ET
Yeah, you nailed it.
Maverick86 • 03/14/24 10:19 AM ET
Fortunately, you have a poor grasp of VT basketball as it relates to
ancient alien 2018 • 03/13/24 05:24 PM ET
That is not what I am saying at all...
hokiekev 2k4 • 03/14/24 10:31 AM ET
Purgatory, I have plenty of examples of that through the years
HokiesACC2004 • 03/13/24 04:22 PM ET
We got the NIL, but basketball program needs to be more engaged
DMV Gobbler • 03/13/24 03:13 PM ET
nor do I see us getting much worse......
ToledoHokie • 03/13/24 03:02 PM ET
Purgatory? Remember Frankie Allen? Bob Hussey?
Pylons • 03/13/24 02:57 PM ET
LOL I'd call those Hell instead!!**
ancient alien 2018 • 03/13/24 05:25 PM ET
oh god. i just had heart palpitations. hussey, stokes. ugh.**
Hokies23 • 03/13/24 04:11 PM ET
Those were Hell. This is Purgatory
hokiekev 2k4 • 03/13/24 04:10 PM ET
Quite a few fans are pretty much never satisfied.
Pylons • 03/13/24 04:13 PM ET
That seems like a big problem to me. I don't expect Final 4s every year...
hokiekev 2k4 • 03/13/24 05:23 PM ET
I'm not a fan of his rotation this year. Doesn't mean I want him gone.**
HokiePail • 03/13/24 02:54 PM ET
4 isn't going to happen and would be a mistake to do so...
GCHokie34 • 03/13/24 02:32 PM ET
While it won’t happen, do you think it should?
HLTW! • 03/13/24 03:08 PM ET
No...it shouldnt
GCHokie34 • 03/13/24 03:18 PM ET
except we don't have the talent to pull it off**
NativeBurger • 03/13/24 02:56 PM ET
Moving to a different defense isn't going to make the players better...**
GCHokie34 • 03/13/24 02:57 PM ET
The problem isn't the scheme. It's the players
DangerousCrowd • 03/13/24 03:25 PM ET
The most unathletic player are the ones who can't suit up...
GCHokie34 • 03/13/24 03:28 PM ET
Identifying the problem is the first issue
DangerousCrowd • 03/13/24 03:46 PM ET
Buzz cheated his balls off to recruit those players...
GCHokie34 • 03/13/24 03:51 PM ET
Bench would probably help, but we need athletes ◄
DangerousCrowd • 03/13/24 03:59 PM ET
The point is...
GCHokie34 • 03/13/24 04:05 PM ET
You are either missing the point or resorting to straw man arguments
DangerousCrowd • 03/13/24 04:37 PM ET
Mike Young has recruited at the same level as any VT coach...
GCHokie34 • 03/13/24 04:42 PM ET
Full court press (if you have a bench). Aggressively pressure the ball
DangerousCrowd • 03/13/24 05:01 PM ET
Just curious GC, are you on staff here? I ask because you keep answering
ancient alien 2018 • 03/13/24 04:52 PM ET
Since Mike has little control over 1 and 2 then we have to do 3.**
Femoyer Hokie • 03/13/24 02:38 PM ET
I would be in favor of moving on from 1 of the assistants, yes**
GCHokie34 • 03/13/24 02:39 PM ET
Good list. 4 is a priority in my eyes.**
PennaHokie • 03/13/24 02:30 PM ET
Forget about all except #1
