I'll debate you on #3

3. Spend your money wisely - use moneyball principles Pry mentioned in his signing day presser last week that he had a player that he wanted to keep, but that player wanted a certain amount of money. Pry let that player go and then replaced him with three guys from the portal for the same (total) amount of money. That's moneyball, so yes VT is doing that. Note that I'm not debating you on 1 and 2. ** Edited by Will Stewart at 2/10/2025, 11:08:56 PM

I assume Pry knows we can only put one guy on the field at that position?
Zanderhokie • 02/11/25 01:46 PM ET
Good to see. As fans we have zero information.

Stanford could buy the SEC with their 30 billion endowment.
Sunsetunderground • 02/10/25 01:05 PM ET
They can’t.
