Picked 12

When the media picked us 12th, I was sure that they had set a bar for us that we could clear, before seeing any game action. After five ACC games having played four teams picked higher than 12 (all but WFU), it appears that our coaching staff and our Hokie team unity (the reason so many of them are here after the loss of leadership last spring) will clear it easily. Still a work in progress, but a lot of fun. (aside: Techsideline needs to add "Hokie" to the spell checker - it gets used a lot and my old fingers like the 'l' better than the k at times!)

Roughly half through the season. Things better or worse than expected?
Va AandM • 01/13/25 06:48 AM ET
A little better. As expected, they are a good but not great team…..
vtbball80 • 01/13/25 12:21 PM ET
Oh better. At least at the highest end of my expectations
`lag • 01/13/25 11:11 AM ET
Excellent summation **
King of Hokies • 01/13/25 10:28 PM ET
Funny what coaching up all the players can do. This Rose would’ve neen nice
Va AandM • 01/13/25 11:28 AM ET
Uh yeah...I remember Rose coming in a couple times last year...
`lag • 01/13/25 11:37 AM ET
If not the tourney, the ACC/SEC challenge next fall. **
Va AandM • 01/13/25 12:14 PM ET
even better, with a slim and trim Ramiya White...
`lag • 01/13/25 12:22 PM ET
Its what i hoped for. One upset win under the belt.
thunar • 01/13/25 10:22 AM ET
Definitely better!
EDGEMAN • 01/13/25 08:49 AM ET
So far, a great coach replaced with a great coach.
delmarva hokie • 01/13/25 03:47 PM ET
While I agree Duffy has done everything very well so far, I don’t think…
vtbball80 • 01/13/25 12:18 PM ET
Probably pretty early to name her the best ever with 1/2 a season here.
GreenvilleVT • 01/13/25 09:59 AM ET
Duffy doesn't have two all american's to work with so you can't compare **
mrknowitall • 01/13/25 10:31 AM ET
That's a circular argument, he recruited/created/whatever them...
`lag • 01/13/25 11:19 AM ET
Maybe she can recruit some and coach them to AA status.
GreenvilleVT • 01/13/25 11:01 AM ET
not a Kenny fan, but obviously he knows what he's doing**
mrknowitall • 01/13/25 11:52 AM ET
He probably is at KY, I don't think they have a storied history in women's
`lag • 01/13/25 11:42 AM ET
Mitchell was a very good coach at KY and they were pretty strong
GreenvilleVT • 01/13/25 11:52 AM ET
Yeah, I guess so**
`lag • 01/13/25 12:00 PM ET
They won't get there this year, but give Coach Duffy some time to recruit
EDGEMAN • 01/13/25 10:04 AM ET
Picked 12 ◄
billcarstensen • 01/13/25 08:43 AM ET
We did have some talent to begin with...
`lag • 01/13/25 11:26 AM ET
So far I think Duffy's best recruiting job was convincing the core to stay.**
delmarva hokie • 01/13/25 03:11 PM ET
Tech Sideline doesn't have a spell-checker. That's your browser doing that.**
Will StewartAdmin • 01/13/25 10:16 AM ET
The Holies?**
IB4TECH • 01/13/25 09:06 AM ET
These guys?**
Ho_Ki • 01/13/25 01:55 PM ET
Usually
billcarstensen • 01/13/25 09:29 AM ET
Much better **
Stork • 01/13/25 07:32 AM ET
Nah, A+, what doesn't kill YOU makes YOU stronger! Ha! Ha!**
Tech76G • 01/13/25 07:07 AM ET
Lots of games left. Team is looking real good. Hope they continue.**
Durham Hokie • 01/13/25 07:07 AM ET
The weakness is magnified without Suffren. Nelson probably isn’t quite
hokiepro • 01/13/25 07:01 AM ET
Yep. We had a lot of good reasons to lose yesterday.**
IB4TECH • 01/13/25 09:04 AM ET
Would you agree CMD has the team punching above weight particularly w/o
Va AandM • 01/13/25 07:19 AM ET
Sorry …to answer your question…better yes
hokiepro • 01/13/25 08:36 AM ET
Yes. Well at least the 2 Ws on the road
