Where do we go from here?

Top priorities: 1. Raise NIL funds 2. Reshape the roster with transfers with said NIL funding 3. Recruit / replace one of the coaches with more recruiting chops? 4. Recruit / replace one of the coaches with more defensive focus? 5. Ideally combine 3 and 4. How do we move the program forward as it’s stalled. We’re not moving on from MY this offseason and likely even after next with similar results. I also don’t think this is all on MY, probably making the best with the ingredients he has but is partly, maybe even largely, responsible for the ingredients. Whit Babcock has to assume responsibility as well. ** Edited by HLTW! at 3/13/2024, 2:30:15 PM

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...
GCHokie34 • 03/13/24 04:05 PM ET
You are either missing the point or resorting to straw man arguments
DangerousCrowd • 03/13/24 04:37 PM ET
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
