Amount of time for the team to mesh

Right now VT Basketball is a puzzle scattered everywhere across the court. It will take more time to become the completed puzzle than the other teams who run spread screen roll offense as their offense. These are the teams who run one play at top of key over and over. Young's team, as we well know requires timing, sharing the ball, player movement on offense and the ability to switch, help and recover on defense. I say we won't see the best VT output until January. That's the usual timeline for Coach Young's team. Patience is the key word for fans this year.

A team can turn-on great D with a few hard practices and lineup changes.

Won't most teams have the same problem?

Time is essential

Yep, and every college coach knows this by now, including CMY.

We'll mesh after two weeks. Then break up after 9 and a half.**

Could say every team needs time to mesh in the transfer portal era**

The good thing is if they do not run MY offense perfect early and get late

While that's true, this year they don't need those early season games for..

That’s what the “pay” non-con games are for.

11 of the 13 are in Blacksburg now so it won't be like scrambling eggs ...
