There is no quick answer because there are many layers to this

Here are the highlights This is only year four and his recruits are higher level every year. He inherited a roster with barely enough people to put on the court. He has never had a losing season here despite how little he had to work with in years 1-2. He won the ACC tournament in only his third year (with recruits he had at Wofford). Our “ACC level” recruits are all in year 1-2 in our system and just getting started. This year was decimated by injuries to our guards. We are starting a true freshman because we have to. Very few coaches in the country could have had the results that CMY got here with everything else the same. This program is finally at a solid talent and depth level and is just getting started under CMY. In two years when Pedulla is a senior and we have a solid rotation at all positions then this team will be making national noise. As it is, we are 16-12 this year despite a lot of adversity. We are only about 10 points in total away from being a 20 win team. They are close. So no, I don’t think CMY is lucky. He is a damn good coach who gets his teams in position to play with anyone. And he is a perfect culture fit for VT on top of that.

Finally created an account on here but I have a genuine question about CMY

Personalities aside the Greenberg 2.0 may not be far off
VTCALS72 02/22/23 12:43 PM ET
Greenberg without the f bombs is good enough for me
WildTurkE 02/22/23 11:16 AM ET
And this is why we have a combined 0 team national championships.
HokieFan14 02/22/23 11:23 AM ET
Guess what?

I'm so sorry VT sports hurt your ego.**
WildTurkE 02/22/23 11:30 AM ET
What a comeback there!
HokieFan14 02/22/23 02:27 PM ET
I think he's a developer, not a recruiter- or a limitation of the program

I'm good with Greenberg 2.0
kingofcassell 02/22/23 09:25 AM ET
Rechsteiner is a 4***
YorkHokie 02/22/23 06:13 PM ET
3-star per TSL**
kingofcassell 02/22/23 07:38 PM ET
I believe that info is outdated.
YorkHokie 02/23/23 08:05 AM ET
247 composite is showing rechsteiner as a 3-star**
kingofcassell 02/23/23 08:53 AM ET
There seems to be a disconnect on 247
YorkHokie 02/23/23 11:03 AM ET
uh, correction
ShockWaveVT 02/22/23 09:45 AM ET
Yeah, you're wrong.**
Walkin` Willie 02/22/23 09:20 AM ET
How so?**
HokieFan14 02/22/23 11:19 AM ET
Because CMY has done more in less time than Greenberg
Walkin` Willie 02/22/23 02:43 PM ET
Clearly you didn't even bother to read the actual OP.
HokieFan14 02/22/23 02:49 PM ET
Are you a troll?
Walkin` Willie 02/22/23 04:21 PM ET
I can understand the comparison a little bit…
hokies5007 02/22/23 09:17 AM ET
The problem isn't CMY. It's your expectations.
VT ChemE 1986 02/22/23 09:12 AM ET
Are you serious? This is 2023, not 2020.

Very good perspective…thanks!
hokies5007 02/22/23 10:08 AM ET
Is Greenberg 2.0 not good enough?**
st_andrew 02/22/23 08:54 AM ET
Depends what side of the fence you're on
