Noticed that Jaydon Young is going to UNC!
I wonder how much PT he will get there.
He wasn't that highly regarded out of high school. You would think that we could lock in a guy like that for longer if the contract had been written better and more intelligently. Does Whit EVER add any value?
Lower tier schools are going to have to write retention clauses and buyouts. Mike Young is good at developing players. Consequently, that should be an edge where VT could create some value and close the gap with better-funded programs. Looks like another opportunity was missed.

I don't think most folks would see that as a missed opp.

After reading Vtox's reply, perhaps it wasn't relevant in this case. There

Would Whit carry most of the blame for that?**

Exactly. We won't be missing the least efficient player on last year's team**

He's like a home run hitter that strikes out a lot.

He definitely won’t be taking ten three pointers in a game for UNC either. **
