VT was well above average in minutes missing during the season

But yes, every single team with significant injuries would be better if those injuries didn't happen And the mental toughness issues would be addressed if the best players were available to take the most minutes I dont think there is any question VT is a much better team with Tyler Johnson and Tobi Lawal fully healthy

I'm following. What is this roster's potential?
40ozDistrict • 05/08/26 11:32 PM ET
19-14, last 4 out in the expanded field. **
GoldCoast • 05/12/26 04:39 PM ET
Last year had WAY more potential, this years team will be more consistent
soflahokie • 05/11/26 09:06 AM ET
Different, but seems like basically a net zero on paper compared to 25-26.**
marcbvtgm • 05/10/26 02:24 PM ET
Tell me injury missed games. **
HokieDelNorte • 05/10/26 11:27 AM ET
Better than last year’s team.
NC Hoke • 05/10/26 12:02 AM ET
Worse than last season. Better than 2 years ago. NIT ceiling. **
Foxhall Hokie • 05/10/26 12:02 AM ET
.500 in ACC play **

I like that fact that CMY will not be constantly thinking:

Key is will Johnson and

On paper, I like these transfers more as a group than last year's bunch.
ancient alien 2018 • 05/09/26 08:43 PM ET
Some good guards in this group. Good, tough, guards raise expectations for
VT One • 05/09/26 01:55 PM ET
First four out.**

Probably 0.500 overall.

lol!!**
ancient alien 2018 • 05/09/26 02:45 AM ET
The Metrics so far like this team a lot
SC_Hokie • 05/09/26 01:48 AM ET
This team will be built differently from a traditional CMY team
VT ChemE 1986 • 05/09/26 10:40 AM ET
We have not had elite 3-pt shooting recently
VAHokie89 • 05/09/26 03:06 PM ET
20 wins? I wish I shared your optimism. Last year's team was our best
YBYSAIAHokie • 05/09/26 08:41 AM ET
It was also our most injured roster in years.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 05/09/26 09:53 AM ET
...decades.**
EDGEMAN • 05/09/26 02:04 PM ET
I don’t think the outcome would have been appreciably different.
marcbvtgm • 05/09/26 10:56 AM ET
You cannot be serious! **
King of Hokies • 05/09/26 06:12 PM ET
VT lost 4 games by 1 possession...
GCHokie34 • 05/09/26 03:15 PM ET
They also won 3 OT games vs nothing special teams, no?
marcbvtgm • 05/10/26 02:29 PM ET
And being fully healthy would make those close wins less close
GCHokie34 • 05/10/26 03:42 PM ET
Definitely better. The question of mental toughness would remain.
Foxhall Hokie • 05/10/26 12:28 AM ET

Of course you don't.

What does that have to do with being healthy?**
GCHokie34 • 05/09/26 05:58 PM ET
Have to agree, outside of Hammond no improvement at all**
H-SCokie • 05/09/26 12:29 PM ET
Wrong, among returning players Hammond Tobi and Johnson were all markedly
NC Hoke • 05/09/26 11:53 PM ET
Huh? Hammond, yes. Lawal, Johnson "markedly improved? How? Schutt? How?
marcbvtgm • 05/11/26 10:01 AM ET
Well…
NC Hoke • 05/11/26 05:20 PM ET
Lawal's ball handling was much improved? LOL. You're cherry picking stats

NC Hoke • 05/12/26 04:41 PM ET
Hammond was great, but I disagree about the rest...
