VT ChemE 1986

Let’s assume you had an extra $1 million

After your allocation above. Where would you spend it? I would replace Pasha with a combo guard and replace one of our rookie forwards with an experienced player. I would do this to absorb the injuries that you know are coming. Now, obviously, the question arises, “Can you find an affordable and capable experienced player to sit on the bench?” I don’t know. In a related question, what do you think of they way that UVA has constructed its roster, and how much more do you think they spent than VT? ** Edited by VT ChemE 1986 at 1/27/2026, 3:31:26 PM
