Unlike FB, I am not feeling great about this years mens BB.

As has been discussed, it appears we currently can not compete well enough in the NIL racket. Best is middle of the pack with below middle being the expected finish. I hope I am wrong.

You are entitled to your feelings......

With this basketball team, anything is possible. Hard to compare to FB
hokiehill1117 • 05/20/24 12:08 PM ET
I don't know if it is lack of NIL money or not but...

Captain obvious

I’m excited to see what this team does with almost no expectations, I know
Stech • 05/19/24 08:58 PM ET
No expectations is the way I approach any season of any sport

It's not you. You are 100% spot on. A few "experts" will always be on hand
ancient alien 2018 • 05/20/24 08:25 PM ET
I will bet money the CMY pitchforks come out as soon as we lose a game.

As sure as the sun rising in the east.**
HeisenBurg13 • 05/22/24 08:08 AM ET
They always do when he losses, so you will win that bet.**
Stech • 05/20/24 12:42 PM ET
Probably similar in athleticism. Team chemistry will be the difference,
Maroon Effect • 05/19/24 08:21 PM ET
If athleticism is the same...we are in trouble.**
NativeBurger • 05/20/24 04:25 PM ET
We average middle of the pack in the ACC**

Can not compete in NIL is different than choose not to compete in NIL.
GreenvilleVT • 05/19/24 07:21 AM ET
We may still be left out but this is a solid strategy. If basketball is

I'm going to enjoy MY doing the most out of what he has
HokiesACC2004 • 05/19/24 03:39 AM ET
I think he did indeed do that this past year.**
GCHokieof91 • 05/19/24 03:16 PM ET
I do too**
VTCALS72 • 05/19/24 09:45 PM ET
I think they will be about like last year
hokietom87 • 05/19/24 08:35 AM ET
It is, but he may not have had as athletic a group of players on the roster
ancient alien 2018 • 05/19/24 04:17 AM ET
Feels like a really fun team to watch.**
EDGEMAN • 05/19/24 04:52 AM ET
The three freshman may be the key
grtmmt • 05/20/24 08:20 AM ET
So does everyone else on this board!!**
ancient alien 2018 • 05/19/24 02:35 AM ET
nope**
949hokie • 05/19/24 03:34 AM ET
I am optimistic next season will be better than the last two. If they
LXNTN_HOKIE • 05/19/24 12:50 AM ET
Agree!! I'm hoping this 24-25 team will be similar to the USC-e. of 23-24.

A 6-foot-8, 200-pound athletic forward who can jump out of the gym but
949hokie • 05/19/24 03:48 AM ET
He weighs 230. He's college ready physically. Watch his youtube videos
ancient alien 2018 • 05/19/24 04:12 AM ET
I think you guys are talking about two different players**
icelus • 05/19/24 07:30 AM ET
I would feel better if we had kept Kidd but
949hokie • 05/19/24 01:02 AM ET
Didn't pay him enough
HokiesACC2004 • 05/19/24 03:40 AM ET
Had some locker room / staff issues as well. Sure not worth what scUM
ancient alien 2018 • 05/19/24 04:19 AM ET
I kept hearing that last year as well
hokietom87 • 05/19/24 02:46 PM ET
