Any chance VT could bring in a guy like Owen Freeman?
He was very good at Iowa under Fran McCaffrey, but his production crashed for a mediocre Creighton team this past season. I'm not sure what happened at Creighton, but maybe the type of gamble VT needs to take given limited resources?

couldn't even keep Dorn

NIL was part of why I asked about a guy like Freeman.
Probably has a low NIL figure after a bad season at Creighton, but would be quite a coup if he could get back to where he was in the 2024-2025 season. For what it's worth, 247 rates him lower than Dorn in the transfer portal even though he's a guy who averaged 16.7 ppg and 6.7 rpg with Iowa just a year ago.

Why would we want to keep Dorn?
Losing players isn't going to be a bad thing. If the Hokies really wanted to keep someone they would.

If we can't get anyone better than him that's why.He was a disappointment
but if we end up with someone like Solomon Davis playing we will be wishing we had Dorn back. Considering we are apparently broke I have my doubts we can get all the names being thrown around here

He wasn't a disappointment. He was injured most of the year.

Tell us all Mr. recruiting expert, how do you know Dorn wasn't shown
the door? Maybe portaled over?

Why is it better to trash the player than question the coaching staff?

Well,Mr.Know it all,based on what we have heard here lately we are broke
apparently. If that is the case, you really think we are getting upgrades? Look, Dorn was a disappointment as was Avdalas, but are we getting better players on a shoestring budget? We don't even have a GM at this point so not sure what's there to be optimistic about

I'm wondering if all but 2 portal players leaving are not being told
PT will be no better this season because there are already 3-4 transfers "committed" who expect to receive the bulk of PT? Of course $$ is probably involved as well.
