DNG, Point Guard and next year

Okay, so GC’s comments in one of his below posts got me off the ledge ;-). The DNG news surprised me because he seemed to have even more minutes coming his way next season. His offense definitely approved, but I saw holes in his defensive play. My amateur eyes saw him struggle with switching and help defense. We would have struggled against ACC bigs next year if our 4s and 5s were Big John, DNG, Kidd, and the frosh 7 footer. With 2 of the 4 gone, I hope Plan B (ie transfer portal) provides us some ACC caliber bigs. Do you all think Kidd has more potential than DNG? Didn’t get to see much of him to judge his game.

Next question - who is going to back-up Pedulla? Please don’t tell me Hunter because he is much more effective at the 2. Are we looking for PG help in the portal? I hope Pedulla can handle a ton of minutes without getting in foul trouble.

Final question - if Mutts leaves, and we get no additional portal players, what are your guesses for starting 5 and next 3 off the bench?

Kidd: Didn't Realize He was a 4-Star Recruit for Clemson
Hokdawg 04/29/22 01:42 PM ET
Lacks feel imo
Rev.Zeke Vodka 04/29/22 04:56 PM ET
Lacks feel? Could you elaborate?**
YBYSAIAHokie 04/30/22 01:21 PM ET
No one at Clemson was disappointed he left. **
GreenvilleVT 04/29/22 04:13 PM ET
Yeah have been wondering about him myself. Thought he would play this past
SCHokie1103 04/29/22 02:52 PM ET
Enrolled early……
RJHokie 04/29/22 01:57 PM ET
And 240 on him looks much different that 245 on Ojiako or 235 on Keve.**
chagerma 04/29/22 04:19 PM ET
Good stuff RJ. Thank you for that clarification. **
SCHokie1103 04/29/22 02:52 PM ET
I’d have to defer to others more knowledgeable…
vtbball80 04/29/22 01:52 PM ET
Your assumption seems to be DNG choosing to leave VT involuntarily
icelus 04/29/22 01:24 PM ET
There are limited, if any,....

Thank you 2h. **
SCHokie1103 04/29/22 02:54 PM ET
I agree this move is more portal related for this year….
vtbball80 04/29/22 01:44 PM ET
Actually, not a bad lineup and agree more help is coming.**

Thank you - I forgot that Rice has nice ball-handling skills.**
