I would view it like this after 3 games

1 = Wash. Pedulla & Rice should be better than Storm & Pedulla, but Storm looked great early last year and we havent seen Rice 2 = Upgrade. Cattoor a year older 3 = Downgrade. Alleyne + Maddox is better than Maddox + Collins 4 = Downgrade. Mutts + DNG is better than Mutts + Camden 5 = Wash. Aluma way better on defense than any of Basile + Kidd + Poteat but depth counts here From just the starting 5, it's a +1 in the backcourt and -1 in the frontcourt. Depth is going to tell the story of if this season is better than last. As good improved as our offense has been so far our defense has regressed just as much, last year we smothered much better teams early.

Compared to three games last year:

5 is not a wash. Keve much better defender. Straight from Mike Young's
King of Hokies • 11/14/22 02:05 PM ET
Collins is better than Maddux at the same stage but he's not an upgrade
hokieinoregon • 11/14/22 03:19 PM ET
Wow that is a lot of conclusions after just 3 games
Coastal Hokie • 11/14/22 03:09 PM ET
Agree.....
2hhoop3 • 11/14/22 02:44 PM ET
You're probably right on Basile. He's not a good . . .
MidloHokie • 11/14/22 02:16 PM ET
I'm probably in the minority, but I think that Basile is a pretty decided
IronBlood • 11/14/22 01:18 PM ET
I would add, Keve shot 41% from 3 against ACC competition last year
soflahokie • 11/14/22 04:15 PM ET
Oh I agree. I also think Aluma is unfairly targeted by some posters
IronBlood • 11/14/22 04:32 PM ET
I don't know how you would even go there yet .
Coastal Hokie • 11/14/22 05:32 PM ET
Basile is not an upgrade over KA on D and he won't be at any point. He has
hokieinoregon • 11/14/22 03:22 PM ET
def agree - maybe it will pan out but no way im more confident with basile

So does Dale Solomon and Alan Bristow**
hokiepro • 11/14/22 11:26 PM ET
I'm thinking many here never saw Bristow play . . .
MidloHokie • 11/15/22 07:45 AM ET
How did you feel when we were 10 - 10 ?
Coastal Hokie • 11/14/22 03:44 PM ET
Yep during the first part of the season, Aluma disappeared in final 5 min
hokiepro • 11/14/22 04:06 PM ET
Eh; Aluma would be absent for portions of games too
hokiepro • 11/14/22 03:01 PM ET
I understand the sentiment...
GCHokie34 • 11/14/22 12:28 PM ET
am I wrong for worrying about our defense ?
VermontDDS • 11/14/22 06:44 PM ET
I would be worried defensively if these were the rotations they used
GCHokie34 • 11/14/22 06:47 PM ET
I don't disagree at all. Three games are far too few to assess how . . .
MidloHokie • 11/14/22 12:42 PM ET
I would tend to agree...
GCHokie34 • 11/14/22 12:50 PM ET
I would view it like this after 3 games ◄
soflahokie • 11/14/22 09:36 AM ET
2022 Mutts is an upgrade over the 2021 Mutts
EDGEMAN • 11/14/22 10:08 AM ET
IMO not having guys like Murphy and Alleyne will hurt us at some point
soflahokie • 11/14/22 11:04 AM ET
Emmm yeah but
Vippie1 • 11/14/22 08:03 AM ET
Oh, no question there's work to do on the defensive end but the depth . .
MidloHokie • 11/14/22 08:30 AM ET
I expect offense to be Rice's biggest strength as a freshman.
EDGEMAN • 11/14/22 08:07 AM ET
yeah that would be the normal
