Good recruiting news please
SC_Hokie • 09/25/24 12:02 AM ET
Sure would be nice to have some of that NIL money football is blowing...**
GCHokie34 • 09/25/24 07:46 PM ET
To be fair the money VT has been able to offer…
Cvillehoops13 • 09/26/24 12:48 AM ET
Do you believe CMY needs to fire everyone but Byers to rejuvenate
ancient alien 2018 • 09/26/24 08:08 PM ET
I think VT needs to rethink how its basketball staff is structured...
Cvillehoops13 • 09/26/24 10:52 PM ET
As a fan of CMY, It's obvious he and all but one asst. can't bring home
ancient alien 2018 • 10/03/24 08:30 PM ET
How deeply rooted are these “politics”?
SC_Hokie • 09/27/24 12:34 AM ET
1) Structural problems? Don't understand. 2) So nothing much changes until
ancient alien 2018 • 09/26/24 11:55 PM ET
Mike will retire
SC_Hokie • 09/27/24 12:37 AM ET
I doubt a new, younger HC would keep any of the old staff except the
ancient alien 2018 • 09/27/24 01:03 AM ET
Not all abt the $$
SC_Hokie • 09/26/24 06:44 PM ET
Well, football is an afterthought with me. How to do less with more $$**
ancient alien 2018 • 09/26/24 11:56 PM ET
And if they had more of that money...
GCHokie34 • 09/26/24 10:58 AM ET
GC. would $4-5 million NIL make a difference, or does VT need IU type $$
ancient alien 2018 • 09/26/24 08:05 PM ET
$4-5 million would be massive.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 09/26/24 10:10 PM ET
Are we in abt the same boat this season?
SC_Hokie • 09/27/24 12:39 AM ET
A little bit more this year I've heard, but not too much.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 09/27/24 10:12 AM ET
At this point I’m almost on board with dumping NIL support for football.
hokieZ71 • 09/27/24 07:26 PM ET
Sorry if this has been posted before
T-Austin • 09/27/24 10:32 AM ET
Thanks CC. $4-5 million could place VT ( CMY or a new HC) in the top 1/2
ancient alien 2018 • 09/26/24 10:37 PM ET
Wow! No wonder CMY has trouble competing with the other ACC
ancient alien 2018 • 09/26/24 10:23 PM ET
I think transfer recruiting is determined almost exclusively...
Cvillehoops13 • 09/26/24 11:09 AM ET
Cvillehoops, looks like VT missed on another pair of targets. As a hoops
ancient alien 2018 • 09/26/24 04:58 PM ET
I think there's still some chance on Mingo and very little on Scott...
Cvillehoops13 • 09/26/24 10:44 PM ET
Scott MSU bound?**
ancient alien 2018 • 09/26/24 11:50 PM ET
So not a NIL issue, just swinging for the fences and maybe not working out**
HokieRat • 09/26/24 08:48 AM ET
Our program has little to no swag for a HS kid. Being in the ACC is prob
catdaddy • 09/26/24 01:51 PM ET
Yes**
Cvillehoops13 • 09/26/24 09:51 AM ET
So if/when CMY doesn't get Scott or Mingo, what other player's names are
ancient alien 2018 • 09/26/24 01:20 AM ET
Simon Walker thursday at 5:00. 1/3 chance Frosty the Redhead Friday. UM
ancient alien 2018 • 09/25/24 02:15 AM ET
Sigh!!! "Well, bye".**
ancient alien 2018 • 09/25/24 05:46 PM ET
Chances on Walker for tomorrow? **
VT One • 09/25/24 10:53 AM ET
Same as Bluto Blutarsky's GPA: 0.00 , According to CC.
ancient alien 2018 • 09/25/24 06:04 PM ET

HokieChas81 • 09/25/24 12:50 PM ET
Home state team but not a good fit in my opinion
SC_Hokie • 09/25/24 12:54 PM ET
Agree. I guess VT raids a Southern conference team for another 3* CG. What
ancient alien 2018 • 09/25/24 05:54 PM ET
Not getting him, that's my understanding.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 09/25/24 10:57 AM ET
Hopefully, "Plan D" is Scott and/or Mingo. If not, I suppose "Plan E,F OR G
ancient alien 2018 • 09/26/24 12:31 AM ET
I do not think this is a loss for us.. roster wise

ancient alien 2018 • 09/25/24 05:45 PM ET
In the era of transfer portal, perhaps it is worth taking the risk?
HokieAl • 09/25/24 05:19 PM ET
Seems legitimately crazy to me that they didn't take Crotty
Gobbler-100 • 09/25/24 05:05 PM ET
CMY thought he had 4 of a kind with other recruits! Other HCs pulled out
ancient alien 2018 • 09/26/24 02:07 AM ET
Staff does this crap every year. Locate talent, priortize 1-2 over the
ancient alien 2018 • 09/25/24 05:50 PM ET
Notre dame just landed a 5* combo guard
SC_Hokie • 09/25/24 07:30 PM ET
Frost to ND or UM. Mingo can help change a program. Come
ancient alien 2018 • 09/25/24 07:41 PM ET
Thanks. The hits keep coming. **
VT One • 09/25/24 04:53 PM ET
Exactly. We prioritized Frost over Crotty. Maybe we wouldn't have gotten
tchokie • 09/25/24 01:06 PM ET
We would have gotten him.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 09/25/24 02:36 PM ET
As frustrating as this football season has been
st_andrew • 09/26/24 07:01 AM ET
I am more hopeful and ready to kick that ball Lucy is holding…**
VTKev80 • 09/26/24 02:02 PM ET
I've decided to write a hoops article tomorrow.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 09/26/24 08:18 AM ET
FYI, I'm going to push this back to next week...
Chris ColemanAdmin • 09/27/24 10:27 AM ET
Definitely need all gone except Giltner. Need a asst. or two that can close
ancient alien 2018 • 09/26/24 07:52 PM ET
Is Young safe?
st_andrew • 09/26/24 04:49 PM ET
If there ARE shortcomings, I seriously doubt they would be related to MY.
TDVick • 10/06/24 01:42 PM ET
Everyone loves Mike Young
st_andrew • 10/06/24 04:32 PM ET
Agree. We've been deficient in defense and rebounding due to lack of

Were those three as good as the rest of the ACC's top 3? I don't really
TDVick • 10/07/24 11:47 AM ET
This seems a little dramatic
GretnaHokie • 09/26/24 06:31 PM ET
Yeah, I'm sure he is.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 09/26/24 06:00 PM ET
I agree, Mike’s probably got a few years left in him
SC_Hokie • 09/26/24 06:34 PM ET
Whit incapable of restructuring?
HokieDelNorte • 09/26/24 06:15 PM ET
It's part him, and part the VT culture.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 09/26/24 06:20 PM ET
Amen**
Cvillehoops13 • 09/26/24 10:45 PM ET
Two thoughts:

Byers punches above his weight, IMO
catdaddy • 09/26/24 08:48 AM ET
Agreed** ◄
