I don’t want to poach players from Marquette
VT81hokie • 04/03/24 07:25 PM ET
I do. It's part of the deal now. If VT can be poached...then VT can poach.**
great2bahokie • 04/04/24 07:21 AM ET
Players have relationships with their coaches more than their schools
hokiesteve01 • 04/03/24 09:36 PM ET
It depends if they have much of their social life is outside the team
UpperQuad • 04/03/24 10:19 PM ET
Huh**
CPVT3 • 04/03/24 09:15 PM ET
Freedom for players to make their own decisions, just like Coaches, just
Stech • 04/03/24 09:13 PM ET
I am going to be very respectful, but that Pollyanna thought process is
VRJNYTK • 04/03/24 09:10 PM ET
Well said. This is the world college athletics lives in now.
VT20 • 04/03/24 09:15 PM ET
sorry but that philosophy is dead- this is college sports now**
frankyfrankerson • 04/03/24 09:07 PM ET
“Fans Rights”? Good luck with that….**
hines495 • 04/03/24 08:31 PM ET
I only want to poach the players that are good enough to play in the ACC**
ACCJesse • 04/03/24 08:00 PM ET
If other teams are taking Lynn Kidd, Georgia Amoore, Pedulla, Strack, etc
Hardcore_Hokie • 04/03/24 07:58 PM ET
Why is a player's decision to leave "poaching"
PhotoHokieNC • 04/03/24 07:56 PM ET
Because the funds for recruiting budget and NIL collectives
VT81hokie • 04/03/24 08:01 PM ET
While true, it doesn't entitle you to anything.**
NokieHokie • 04/03/24 10:04 PM ET
It does entitle you to roll the dice at the NIL table.**
PhotoHokieNC • 04/04/24 06:13 AM ET
The players have the right to leave when the coach does
WestEndHokie39 • 04/03/24 07:58 PM ET
Didn't seem to bother anyone much when Storm Murphy and Catoor
PhotoHokieNC • 04/03/24 08:01 PM ET
Storm didn't leave with CMY, He played his senior year at Wofford...
vthhhi • 04/03/24 11:00 PM ET
Which he could have played at Wofford.**
PhotoHokieNC • 04/04/24 01:22 AM ET
Sure, but he didn't immediately pack his bags and follow CMY.**
vthhhi • 04/04/24 11:00 AM ET
Well if you ask me, it sounds like you and me were bothered by
PhotoHokieNC • 04/04/24 11:44 AM ET
Storm had graduated
HokiePoq • 04/03/24 08:09 PM ET
Even Aluma was left behind but wrote a letter to MY to take him along...
`lag • 04/03/24 08:44 PM ET
But Storm had a year of eligibility.
PhotoHokieNC • 04/03/24 08:43 PM ET
Yep**
WestEndHokie39 • 04/03/24 08:05 PM ET
As I recall there was a lot of discussion regarding those moves.
VT81hokie • 04/03/24 08:04 PM ET
That was a bogus justification, even though no justification was needed.**
NokieHokie • 04/03/24 10:05 PM ET
Some players were already in the portal before the hire, recruiting them
DGHOKIE • 04/03/24 07:45 PM ET
I agree with this, my logic here. **
`lag • 04/03/24 08:24 PM ET
Yeah, but that's what worries me a bit. Their 2 leading scorers from last
Kid Rock • 04/03/24 07:54 PM ET
Those are good questions. I’ve had the same thoughts **
DGHOKIE • 04/03/24 09:37 PM ET
NIL opportunity?**
GCHokieof91 • 04/03/24 08:31 PM ET
Same reason Ekh, Summiel, etc. entered the portal
Hotus • 04/03/24 08:01 PM ET
Michigan State and Minnesota both had coaching changes last year
Kid Rock • 04/03/24 08:11 PM ET
yeah, the "graduate student thing" is yet another class distinction.
`lag • 04/03/24 08:27 PM ET
Or they did know....**
RRHokie90 • 04/03/24 07:58 PM ET
Not out of the question**
crazylane • 04/03/24 08:44 PM ET
So Coach Duffy was hired a week ago (one day after the CKB announcement)
Kid Rock • 04/03/24 08:02 PM ET
No...but the word is the Duffy was pretty open about looking around...

I do😂
tallahasseehokie • 04/03/24 07:42 PM ET
This is a good site to bookmark to keep up with the portal flow/decommitts
tallahasseehokie • 04/03/24 08:09 PM ET
Play the game **
MrFantastic! • 04/03/24 07:38 PM ET
NM, responded to wrong post

Its the new Norm so Poach away:)** ◄
Hokie83 • 04/03/24 07:37 PM ET
I prefer Norm Classic**
Hokie 04 • 04/03/24 08:37 PM ET
Lol…if a player puts their name in the portal and wants to transfer, it’s
Femoyer74 • 04/03/24 07:35 PM ET
Did you object when coach Mike Young brought players w/him? There is a lot
Hoakie82 • 04/03/24 07:35 PM ET
But he really didn't bring along any current players.
`lag • 04/03/24 08:09 PM ET
Hunter Catoor says "Hello, remember me?"**
VTHokie2000 • 04/03/24 08:17 PM ET
he's a recruit, hadn't stepped foot on campus yet...
`lag • 04/03/24 08:23 PM ET
The OP said "brought players w/ him." I suspect the reference is referring
VTHokie2000 • 04/03/24 08:31 PM ET
You're a nice person, but I'm glad you are not a VT coach. **
Tank • 04/03/24 07:34 PM ET
Even the 2 in the transfer portal?**
TabbHokie • 04/03/24 07:32 PM ET
Poaching is just bidness.**
