There shouldn’t be any optimism if we can’t drop 6 figure NIL bags,

These will be the results. The way Mike Young likes to build is through 3 and 4 year players in his system and you just aren’t going to get much of that in this era. Can he adapt and build veteran squads predominantly through the portal? Seems like his only hope going forward. Can’t waste roster spots on redshirts and true freshmen that need 2+ years to be ready for meaningful action, IMHO. ** Edited by HokieHoopzThe2nd at 4/18/2023, 12:06:05 PM ** Edited by HokieHoopzThe2nd at 4/18/2023, 12:07:42 PM ** Edited by HokieHoopzThe2nd at 4/18/2023, 12:08:22 PM ** Edited by HokieHoopzThe2nd at 4/18/2023, 12:08:52 PM
