You are either missing the point or resorting to straw man arguments

I'm not advocating for hiring Rick Stansbury. I've never mentioned his name. Same for Storm Murphy,. I am not being critical of Pedulla. I wish Tech fans would not be so critical of him, especially on social media. I hope he comes back next year, but will understand if goes elsewhere given how fans treated him. The whole point is Tech needs more athletic players - players just like Sean Pedulla. Pedulla is probably the most athletic player on the team. He is one of the only Tech players who can a) consistently create his own shot and b) handle the basketball. The idea I am being critical of Pedulla could not be further from the truth. Coaches have to both recruit and coach well. The story on MY before he got to Tech was he was a great coach, but unclear whether he could recruit at the ACC level. The story on MY is still the same. Time will tell if he is able to fix it.

To #3...
BuffaloTraceHokie • 03/13/24 03:02 PM ET
NIL, Retain & Portal**
VT757to276 • 03/13/24 02:48 PM ET
Sadly, I don't see much getting better as long as MY is around
hokiekev 2k4 • 03/13/24 02:39 PM ET
Yeah, you nailed it.
Maverick86 • 03/14/24 10:19 AM ET
Fortunately, you have a poor grasp of VT basketball as it relates to
ancient alien 2018 • 03/13/24 05:24 PM ET
That is not what I am saying at all...
hokiekev 2k4 • 03/14/24 10:31 AM ET
Purgatory, I have plenty of examples of that through the years
HokiesACC2004 • 03/13/24 04:22 PM ET
We got the NIL, but basketball program needs to be more engaged
DMV Gobbler • 03/13/24 03:13 PM ET
nor do I see us getting much worse......
ToledoHokie • 03/13/24 03:02 PM ET
Purgatory? Remember Frankie Allen? Bob Hussey?
Pylons • 03/13/24 02:57 PM ET
LOL I'd call those Hell instead!!**
ancient alien 2018 • 03/13/24 05:25 PM ET
oh god. i just had heart palpitations. hussey, stokes. ugh.**
Hokies23 • 03/13/24 04:11 PM ET
Those were Hell. This is Purgatory
hokiekev 2k4 • 03/13/24 04:10 PM ET
Quite a few fans are pretty much never satisfied.
Pylons • 03/13/24 04:13 PM ET
That seems like a big problem to me. I don't expect Final 4s every year...
hokiekev 2k4 • 03/13/24 05:23 PM ET
I'm not a fan of his rotation this year. Doesn't mean I want him gone.**
HokiePail • 03/13/24 02:54 PM ET
4 isn't going to happen and would be a mistake to do so...
GCHokie34 • 03/13/24 02:32 PM ET
While it won’t happen, do you think it should?
HLTW! • 03/13/24 03:08 PM ET
No...it shouldnt
GCHokie34 • 03/13/24 03:18 PM ET
except we don't have the talent to pull it off**
NativeBurger • 03/13/24 02:56 PM ET
Moving to a different defense isn't going to make the players better...**
GCHokie34 • 03/13/24 02:57 PM ET
The problem isn't the scheme. It's the players
DangerousCrowd • 03/13/24 03:25 PM ET
The most unathletic player are the ones who can't suit up...
GCHokie34 • 03/13/24 03:28 PM ET
Identifying the problem is the first issue
DangerousCrowd • 03/13/24 03:46 PM ET
Buzz cheated his balls off to recruit those players...
GCHokie34 • 03/13/24 03:51 PM ET
Bench would probably help, but we need athletes
DangerousCrowd • 03/13/24 03:59 PM ET
The point is...

Mike Young has recruited at the same level as any VT coach...
GCHokie34 • 03/13/24 04:42 PM ET
Full court press (if you have a bench). Aggressively pressure the ball
DangerousCrowd • 03/13/24 05:01 PM ET
Just curious GC, are you on staff here? I ask because you keep answering
ancient alien 2018 • 03/13/24 04:52 PM ET
Since Mike has little control over 1 and 2 then we have to do 3.**
Femoyer Hokie • 03/13/24 02:38 PM ET
I would be in favor of moving on from 1 of the assistants, yes**
GCHokie34 • 03/13/24 02:39 PM ET
Good list. 4 is a priority in my eyes.**
PennaHokie • 03/13/24 02:30 PM ET
Forget about all except #1
