If Mike Young were the coach when Beran were making his original decision..

He would have been a Hokie from the jump Both he and Bamisile were not fond of ol' Buzzard Williams...both committed to Northwestern (I'll pause for the jokes about Bamisile jumping around) Bamisile flipped to VT when MY was hired due to connections with his HS coach, Beran stuck with Northwestern. I think his career is a bit different if he had chosen VT, as I don't think VT would have gone after DNG and some continuity from someone who could swing 4 and 5 would have been immensely helpful. (Just as it will be should he choose VT)

Lol...no...just...no
GCHokie34 04/23/23 05:24 PM ET
He's a way better schematic fit than Pemsl.

Getting a big who’s an 85% FT shooter would be huge.

Totally disagree-not even close**

I don't get that comparison. They seem to be completely different players

Pemsl had a really bad back. He was a very promising player at Iowa and
millmtnhokie 04/23/23 03:27 PM ET
Pemsl's minutes decreased every single year he played...
GCHokie34 04/23/23 05:30 PM ET
True. A kid came to Iowa the year after Pemsl named Luka Garza
millmtnhokie 04/23/23 07:43 PM ET
Beran played 3 years with Pete Nance and Ryan Young
GCHokie34 04/23/23 08:03 PM ET
Injuries can derail promising careers.
millmtnhokie 04/23/23 08:36 PM ET
How he individually rebounds doesn't matter...
GCHokie34 04/23/23 12:12 PM ET
It seems to me if we get Beran, we have improved our D dramatically. He can

Great post-like his basketball IQ and ability to fit in MY's system.**
