Call me naive but I think if we retain most and coach Young comes back next

year we will be better. Not only we will have a core team who knows the system but I feel that whatever deal we gave Neo influenced some playing style decisions. And as Neo lost confidence coach Young wasn't simply going to bench him. Having said that I would welcome Neo back, not that it will happen, but maybe an additional year in college with a full summer would be beneficial for him. And then make sure he fits the system, rather than the system fitting him Beginning of the season I thought he would be a first rounder but once the film came out of him he couldn't handle the speed and physicality of the better athletes he had to face, and we are not talking about the Duke and UNCs of the world, even the 2nd level. ** Edited by HokieBrazil at 3/14/2026, 11:35:38 AM

And the Greek league was supposedly "tougher" than ACC/NCAA play...

Watched film of it & contrary to what experts here said, I wasn’t impressed

I believe Neo only averaged 9 PPG in the Greek league so
YBYSAIAHokie 03/14/26 12:23 PM ET
Well, CMY did bench Neo

I am a little different. I want only Hansberry, Hammond, and Johnson back

I would add Gurdac and Dorn. He showed potential at the end.**
hokie_5 03/14/26 03:22 PM ET
Frankly there is only one absolute must imo
Vippie1 03/14/26 01:02 PM ET
Have to add Gurdak to that. He's smart and cares. **
Gobbler-100 03/14/26 11:58 AM ET
Gurdak is a nice piece but not remotely a 5 to build around. **
marcbvtgm 03/14/26 12:46 PM ET
I would keep him and also bring in another quality 5 or stretch 4.
NC Hoke 03/15/26 04:34 PM ET
Oh, I disagree. At 6'-10" 260#, he's big, agile and smart.
YBYSAIAHokie 03/14/26 01:19 PM ET
Hmm... I would take Gurdak, Dorn and Schutt as well
Walkin` Willie 03/14/26 11:55 AM ET
All players have to fit the $$ so it is not just a we keep these guys
turkeywinghokie 03/14/26 01:51 PM ET
Girds definitely keep. Dorn maybe. Schutt no way
DCL 03/14/26 01:38 PM ET
I can take or leave Schutt, but either way I want to bring in a more
NC Hoke 03/15/26 04:37 PM ET
I agree. Especially Gurdak. **
