I'm trying to limit my expectations for this year-am I right Rev?
Kenny had a two or three week head start to possibly condition his current transferring players and recruits to his move- at the very least to develop a strategy to do so. We believe that a large amount of NIL was likely promised to him. How much did the powers that be promise coach Duffy who had to make a quick and likely unanticipated move to a completely new cultural environment? Coach Duffy is young, attractive, and articulate and will likely be able to find her way to getting the NIL money tree more active but likely not this year. I don't see 100 $20k or 10 $200k donors at the ready to pull in some of the high level talent that people are wishing for on the big name players to give us instant success.The ACC is going to be loaded next year and Stanford has been added. I'm going to try to be happy with a mid upper ACC finish and an occasional upset. Kenny had a long and tortuous path at VT get to the past 2 years arguably in great part because of Liz whose presence made recruiting a lot more attractive. There were several roaring non-conference starts followed by ACC season and late game collapses in the process. We need to give our new coach time to get things where she wants them.
