Okay, maybe he doesn't OWE us anything

But he's not Virginia Tech. Neither are the players. WE are Virginia Tech. And when he doesn't complete the season, he lets us down. You can be supportive, but I feel like he let us all down. I know you won't like this argument, but I think I'm not alone.

So besides Mutts and Maddox, do we already know who else is leaving after..
UpstateSCHokie • 03/05/23 08:17 AM ET
So far it is only Mutts**
GCHokie34 • 03/05/23 02:36 PM ET
Basile is coming back if we get NIL right
hokiepro • 03/05/23 10:35 AM ET
Why do people assume Maddox is leaving??
Hokie Chief • 03/05/23 08:56 AM ET
He abandoned his coaches and his teammates. Unless the situation is severe
VT ChemE 1986 • 03/05/23 11:01 AM ET
Another uninformed opinion stated as fact. It’s disrespectful to Maddox **
Lancelot Link • 03/05/23 06:09 PM ET
You are making inferences from incomplete information on the situation.
HeisenBurg13 • 03/05/23 05:34 PM ET
He abandoned no one...
GCHokie34 • 03/05/23 01:19 PM ET
yes the staff knew but that does not mean they like it.
whatIpostlike • 03/06/23 07:30 AM ET
What rule, specifically, are you referring to?**
GCHokie34 • 03/06/23 08:19 AM ET
rules on how you can leave your team and still come back... **
whatIpostlike • 03/06/23 08:36 AM ET
That doesn't make any sense...
GCHokie34 • 03/06/23 08:57 AM ET
it would have been a bad look **
whatIpostlike • 03/06/23 12:14 PM ET
You said he was bound by rules...

Between staff and player. CMY has a soul. **

Thank you!! ...".what passes for knowledge these days, I don;t understand"**
HOKIE75-79 • 03/05/23 05:40 PM ET
That is good to hear. But he now has the opportunity to make it right
VT ChemE 1986 • 03/05/23 01:37 PM ET
Make what right?**
RJHokie • 03/05/23 06:11 PM ET
LOL... I wouldn't be so presumptuous without knowing the details...
jesuisvtguy • 03/05/23 05:43 PM ET
He can make it right by getting right...
GCHokie34 • 03/05/23 01:41 PM ET
I disagree. We all owe something to the people around us.
VT ChemE 1986 • 03/05/23 01:46 PM ET
It is a game and in many ways, he's still a child. You post some really
HeisenBurg13 • 03/05/23 05:36 PM ET
Teach the “child” a lesson, or pander to him. Hmmm**
JackDSML • 03/06/23 01:12 PM ET
Is there a "lesson" to be taught? Who says pandering is going on?
HeisenBurg13 • 03/06/23 01:27 PM ET
My problem? I’m not the problem .

Gobbler-100 • 03/05/23 03:32 PM ET
Not just as a fan. As a human these are garbage thoughts. **
st_andrew • 03/05/23 05:33 PM ET
Now that would seem to be a SOS violation ^**
whatIpostlike • 03/06/23 07:34 AM ET
I think you mean TOS violation and to be honest this thread is full of them
AbsolutVT03 • 03/06/23 04:00 PM ET
Full grown men (and women) have full grown emotional and family issues
YBYSAIAHokie • 03/05/23 03:19 PM ET

No_Limit_Hokie • 03/06/23 11:57 AM ET
do you? **
whatIpostlike • 03/06/23 12:06 PM ET
I'm not the one claiming he violated it. Ball is in your court.**
No_Limit_Hokie • 03/06/23 12:07 PM ET
where did I say he violated any rules? Right back at you, Big Daddy. **

Full grown men do not owe playing basketball to any other full grown adult**

The scholarship fund...
GCHokie34 • 03/06/23 08:58 AM ET
Except play. Geeze **
JackDSML • 03/06/23 02:49 PM ET
The scholarship is not tied to his play...
GCHokie34 • 03/06/23 03:52 PM ET
It’s assumed you’ll attend practice. Implied. **
JackDSML • 03/06/23 04:46 PM ET
By who?
GCHokie34 • 03/06/23 05:10 PM ET
where does the scholarship fund come from? **

Posters continually state its a business when it's convenient to narrative.
TomTurkey • 03/05/23 02:35 PM ET
Understood. That is an honest answer
VT ChemE 1986 • 03/05/23 03:08 PM ET
I hate to see him go. I hate to see Owusu go if she does. They got rings.**
TomTurkey • 03/05/23 04:03 PM ET
It is absolutely basketball...
GCHokie34 • 03/05/23 02:29 PM ET
OKAY =satisfactory but not exceptionally or especially good.

WE? Neither are the players? I hope you're alone.**
TomTurkey • 03/05/23 08:09 PM ET
If he was in the Military at his age he’d be a deserter.
JackDSML • 03/05/23 03:41 PM ET
If he was in the Russian Military...
YBYSAIAHokie • 03/06/23 10:15 AM ET
He’s probably trying to catch up on his studies which is the best use of
IB4TECH • 03/06/23 09:33 AM ET
And, of course, he's not military, but you knew that. **

whatIpostlike • 03/05/23 11:09 AM ET
Probably because he’s almost guaranteed to lose minutes to Rice
HokieHoopzThe2nd • 03/05/23 09:23 AM ET
there are plenty of minutes available for all of them
ShockWaveVT • 03/05/23 06:06 PM ET
Him leaving would be best. **
HokiePail • 03/05/23 12:36 PM ET
uh, disagree**
ShockWaveVT • 03/05/23 06:06 PM ET
I won't argue that point. But until it happens, it is pure speculation
Hokie Chief • 03/05/23 09:25 AM ET
yeah, you are wrong with the "family" thing. Just let it go **
whatIpostlike • 03/05/23 09:53 AM ET
there is certainly a family medical situation that he's dealing with

HokieHoopzThe2nd • 03/05/23 09:31 AM ET
Why would you want him? We need kids that are program first. **

It's called college basketball. Rosters change over from year to year.

Sounds like we have to wait for Cattoor/Basile to announce their intentions**
HokieHoopzThe2nd • 03/05/23 08:22 AM ET
Wouldn’t be shocked to see them both test the nba waters like Mutts did

Catoor isn't NBA material. Maybe Europe. **
YBYSAIAHokie • 03/05/23 09:19 AM ET
