jumping ahead here but

key players keep screwing up and CMY pays the price- Radford and now Rice. Admittedly I don't know anything as I type, but that is where reason is leading me . Sheeze can we get a freakin break or is this just the new normal where you can count on anyone or anything day to day?

Rice gone
MFWHokie0607 • 10/24/23 02:32 PM ET
I suppose timing could be worse, but not sure how much...**
VT757to276 • 10/24/23 05:02 PM ET
Could be as simple an explanation as bagmen and handlers.**
Maroon Effect • 10/24/23 04:05 PM ET
No**
GCHokie34 • 10/24/23 04:36 PM ET
Doubt he gets paid to sit out another year**
hokietom87 • 10/24/23 04:28 PM ET
Man, that mike jones hire paid zero dividends.**
Smackdown_VT • 10/24/23 03:37 PM ET
like an (OL) coach drive-by:-)**
VT757to276 • 10/24/23 04:00 PM ET
Zero is right...we lost the Swinton kid too, I believe Jones recruited too**
HokieSA • 10/24/23 03:43 PM ET
Next man up.**
HokiePail • 10/24/23 03:31 PM ET
Men.
NC Hoke • 10/24/23 07:10 PM ET
Well, that. just bites!**
8hokie5 • 10/24/23 03:28 PM ET
So who's going to get his minutes? Rechsteiner? J. Young? **
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/24/23 03:21 PM ET
Collins
GCHokie34 • 10/24/23 03:28 PM ET
Seems Rechsteiner would also have to play more, unless.....
vtbball80 • 10/24/23 05:00 PM ET
Yeah, slightly...
GCHokie34 • 10/24/23 05:04 PM ET
FWIW - Pedulla/Rice should be as good or better than Murphy/Pedulla....
vtbball80 • 10/24/23 05:18 PM ET
Was the departure mutual?
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/24/23 03:33 PM ET
That's the only thing that would make sense
GCHokie34 • 10/24/23 03:37 PM ET
Someone on another board saying he may have been suspended 1 game for
HokiePail • 10/24/23 04:00 PM ET
50 in 25 but just charged with speeding instead of reckless. **
RhinoVT • 10/24/23 04:07 PM ET
Yes, that’s correct, per the VA court database.
David CunninghamAdmin • 10/24/23 04:30 PM ET
I heard Rice was “in the dog house.”
David CunninghamAdmin • 10/24/23 04:33 PM ET
maybe an "unexpected" gift from his hometown gf?**
Windows NT • 10/24/23 07:42 PM ET
Fried Rice**
BackInTheBurg • 10/24/23 04:35 PM ET
That doesn’t seem like a suspendible offense, but I ain’t the coach**
BackInTheBurg • 10/24/23 04:11 PM ET
Suspended for speeding? Must’ve been a pretty egregious speeding offense**
BackInTheBurg • 10/24/23 04:06 PM ET
Doesn't seem like something that RR would be that
HokiePail • 10/24/23 04:21 PM ET
Or in Dr Sands’ neighborhood when his wife was walking the dog? 🫣**
Femoyer Hokie • 10/24/23 04:11 PM ET
I laughed **
BackInTheBurg • 10/24/23 04:15 PM ET
Yeah I can't confirm that by any means...
GCHokie34 • 10/24/23 04:05 PM ET
Have heard the same.**
David CunninghamAdmin • 10/24/23 03:12 PM ET
okay tells us what ese you are hearing please- this seems to make no sense **
Vippie1 • 10/24/23 03:14 PM ET
I've heard that Rice is transferring.**
David CunninghamAdmin • 10/24/23 03:15 PM ET
does he have to sit a year given the date?**
Vippie1 • 10/24/23 03:18 PM ET
Yeah.
David CunninghamAdmin • 10/24/23 03:28 PM ET
Let him sit. Serves him right.
BigDaddyHokie • 10/24/23 05:24 PM ET
I could be wrong but I doubt he's in college for 5 years
VermontDDS • 10/24/23 03:33 PM ET
His window for making the NBA is shrinking...
GCHokie34 • 10/24/23 04:32 PM ET
Maybe, If he was only getting 8-10 minutes a game a pt G this year at VT
vtox1 • 10/24/23 08:04 PM ET
I think that's pretty far-fetched
GCHokie34 • 10/24/23 08:20 PM ET
Was his NBA window ever really that big?
marcbvtgm • 10/24/23 07:00 PM ET
Agreed. He could create shots, athletic.
st_andrew • 10/24/23 08:24 PM ET
Yep. Not just his odd shot - but I wasn’t crazy about his footwork either.
marcbvtgm • 10/25/23 11:10 AM ET
Not many jump out...
GCHokie34 • 10/24/23 07:09 PM ET
Not talking lottery freaks only. Even 2nd rd NBA talent really stands out.
marcbvtgm • 10/25/23 10:49 AM ET
Rodney Rice absolutely jumped out at NBA potential level...
GCHokie34 • 10/25/23 11:00 AM ET
Sorry, I just disagree with you on this one.
marcbvtgm • 10/25/23 11:08 AM ET
Well, he doesn't have to redshirt. He could just transfer. Redshirting
David CunninghamAdmin • 10/24/23 03:39 PM ET
yeah i'm pretty sure you can't transfer right now and then go play**
VT Pez4Life • 10/24/23 03:26 PM ET
He cannot play for another team this season, no**
GCHokie34 • 10/24/23 03:24 PM ET
well i'm sure the reason will come out soon enough
Vippie1 • 10/24/23 03:29 PM ET
Highly likely that...
GCHokie34 • 10/24/23 03:35 PM ET
that makes sense
Vippie1 • 10/24/23 03:40 PM ET
Yep, had to be something major for him to do this knowing he will
VTMONEY94 • 10/24/23 03:38 PM ET
jumping ahead here but ◄
Vippie1 • 10/24/23 03:50 PM ET
Wasn’t Radford like 4 years ago? Is this really an epidemic?**
st_andrew • 10/24/23 04:06 PM ET
That was two years ago. He's coming back another year with A&M.**
vatechcowpatty • 10/24/23 06:33 PM ET
Yep, you don't give up 25+ min per game...
GCHokie34 • 10/24/23 03:40 PM ET
crap ! wth ??**
astrohokie • 10/24/23 03:05 PM ET
How is something like this possible?
VT ChemE 1986 • 10/24/23 03:00 PM ET
dunno dude... he could've visited a character he met on the chat line
Windows NT • 10/24/23 07:49 PM ET
@GCHokie34, can you fill us in on the details? if you know of course...**
AZHokie82 • 10/24/23 02:47 PM ET
I can fill you in on what I know...
GCHokie34 • 10/24/23 03:11 PM ET
GC is it fair to say Jones just kept in touch, kept recruiting him etc..
HokieSA • 10/24/23 03:33 PM ET
No, I wouldn't say that's fair at all...
GCHokie34 • 10/24/23 03:37 PM ET
Ok thank you...just SMH like we all are, so disappointing**
HokieSA • 10/24/23 03:41 PM ET
And @GCHokie34 how does this affect our recruiting strategy?**
Femoyer Hokie • 10/24/23 03:01 PM ET
Gicarri Harris or portal**
GCHokie34 • 10/24/23 03:12 PM ET
I know nothing but am disappointed. Was looking forward to watching him**
