I really don’t know what to expect from this team.

Barring injuries, I think this will be a solid squad. If you set projected wins at 20, I’d be only slightly more surprised if VT won more than 20 than less than 20 (meaning I’d bet the Under). My guess is we will be fine offensively, but continue to have defensive issues. The most productive lineup may be on the smallish side, which could hurt defensively. VT will definitely miss the “Swiss Army Knife” Mutts and the size of Basille (even though his D was so-so).

We all said the same thing last year, then injury bug, then it was to late

Last year was not a disaster even with all of the injuries and other issues

If and buts, on that 8 game losing streak...and the season
HokieRat • 04/26/23 02:12 PM ET
Fair point in “ifs and buts”. BS on being bottom dwellers. Down ACC or not
VT One • 04/26/23 07:56 PM ET
Here are some threads on that consensus

Impressive work. I commend your effort on the research. I did not read most

Finishing 11 out of 15 in the ACC standings is pretty awful**
WildTurkE • 04/26/23 01:24 PM ET
Football was awful. 19 overall wins in basketball was disappointing. **

The issue is last year was supposed to be the year with 3 senior starters

we didnt have Beran last year. he's our missing piece**
Windows NT • 04/26/23 10:35 AM ET
And we don't have Basile or Mutts this year
Pylons • 04/26/23 01:00 PM ET
He had us at 43rd last year and that feels about right, right on the bubble

GC thinks starters: Beran 6-9, Long 6-7, Rice 6-5, Cattoor 6-3, Pedulla 6-0
vtox1 • 04/26/23 08:56 AM ET
Rice grew 1 inch! I hope he'll grow 2 more**
