247 shows 7 VT players in the portal -- HokieFlyFisher Dec 22, 2025 at 05:09 PM ET

HokieFlyFisher • 12/22/25 05:09 PM ET

5 of them entered the portal when Pry was fired, so I think he was -- techer1983 Dec 23, 2025 at 10:34 AM ET

I counted 24 Sr., RSr., or GS on the roster for the SC game. -- likehokies Dec 22, 2025 at 12:48 PM ET

Jan 2nd is the official date. VT will have plenty.** -- HokieInClifton Dec 22, 2025 at 10:47 AM ET
