Hokies Forward Tobi Lawal Drafted By Dallas Mavericks (Story)**
David CunninghamAdmin • 06/24/26 10:30 PM ET
How many people thought a year ago ...
Will StewartAdmin • 06/25/26 09:56 AM ET
I thought Tobi could be picked late for his amazing atheticism.
NC Hoke • 06/30/26 04:15 PM ET
I did not think Neo would and I thought Tobi was a 50-50 coin toss...**

How long did Deron Washington stick in the NBA?
VT ChemE 1986 • 06/25/26 02:28 PM ET
He never made it past a preseason.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 06/25/26 03:04 PM ET
The story about Neo was fabricated of whole cloth and

Of course it had realistic basis. Professional guessers of future sports
BG Hokie • 06/26/26 01:36 PM ET
I overlooked the professional guessers. My bad. **
PhotoHokieNC • 06/26/26 02:07 PM ET
Didn't Tyler Nickel also get picked?
VT ChemE 1986 • 06/25/26 11:37 AM ET
I don’t remember anyone thinking he was ready for the NBA as the season
NC Hoke • 06/30/26 04:06 PM ET
Yes agents and handlers need message board posters for cred **
AnotherTechW • 06/25/26 11:07 PM ET
I don't think "being ready" has anything to do with "Being drafted" RE:NBA**
VictoryTurkey • 06/25/26 06:15 PM ET
a select few (not the same) also

I have learned to stop listening to the experts
VT ChemE 1986 • 06/25/26 12:59 PM ET
I don't know about an agenda... maybe just arrogant stubbornness?**
HokieNL • 06/30/26 04:02 PM ET
I assumed that the people with the biggest mouths had some knowledge
VT ChemE 1986 • 06/30/26 04:33 PM ET
to be fair
Vippie1 • 06/25/26 04:56 PM ET
Yep, Neo had an excessive amount of hype for a guy that
RJHokie • 06/25/26 10:07 AM ET
He also put the coaches' job in jeopardy
UpperQuad • 06/25/26 03:47 PM ET
Yeah, that too. **
RJHokie • 06/25/26 03:50 PM ET
I bought into the hype after his 33pt. game vs Providence
YBYSAIAHokie • 06/25/26 12:41 PM ET
So did most everybody else.
NC Hoke • 06/30/26 03:54 PM ET
It wasn't the hype coming in that bothered me.
VT ChemE 1986 • 06/25/26 11:39 AM ET
Neo was way, way over hyped. Definitely oversold.**
Atlee Hokie • 06/25/26 10:19 AM ET
It will be interesting.....
2hhoop3 • 06/30/26 04:18 PM ET
I'm stoked for him..i.hope.he lights up the NBA highlight tapes **
