If we didn’t lose some of the best players in every sport each year it

Would be easy to move on. I think it’s ok to ask if there is something wrong here. Love these girls and the team but what is preventing VT from taking the step to elite? Each year we are right on it and can’t seem to get over it. If the best players stayed, it would make us feel like we are getting there but watching them leave each year certainly makes you step back and ponder what’s going on.

Don't take it as even being close to an indictment on our coaching staff.

I somewhat agree about bringing up Grein. Water

I don’t think ANY transfer any longer should be any commentary on coaching

One thing about this year’s pitchers…they faced a ton of top offenses

No hate on Grein because I really wish she was still a Hokie but
Hokie_Forester • 05/20/25 06:03 PM ET
Definitely agree. To her credit she had some great games vs FSU & UCLA

What “best players” every year? When have we ever lost our best players?
vatechcowpatty • 05/21/25 09:44 AM ET
Losing certain players isn't stopping the team from being elite
