Tight “teams” are hard to come by when the roster is new every year.

Hopefully, both have found a better fit for their skillsets. I always felt that Baker should be shooting at least ten threes a game but she shot a lot of turn around jumpers in the lane. And never looked comfortable doing it. She was a good soldier, imo, but I can’t blame her for wanting to fling it from the perimeter in her last season. I think she can score 500 points this season and likely will.

Might feel dirty to you. I don't like the in-conference transfers but

Whoa. A surprise, but when I think more about it maybe not. Players love

Poppie was on VT staff when we recruited her correct? Or had he already
VintonHokies • 04/14/26 03:37 PM ET
I would think scouting her live is his best information...
`lag • 04/14/26 05:26 PM ET
He was already gone when she joined the program.
David CunninghamAdmin • 04/14/26 04:16 PM ET
Mackie redshirted when Poppie was here. **
RJHokie • 04/14/26 04:02 PM ET
No, she redshirted in 23-24. He was in Y2 at Chattanooga.**
David CunninghamAdmin • 04/14/26 04:17 PM ET
Man, time flies! **
RJHokie • 04/14/26 04:53 PM ET
He recruited her **
texashokie1 • 04/14/26 04:20 PM ET
If they "recruit" two years in advance he could have recruited her...
`lag • 04/14/26 05:28 PM ET
They recruit 3 or 4 years out so I am
texashokie1 • 04/14/26 05:36 PM ET
She also knows and has played with Kayla the sharpshooting grad assistant
CarolinaHokieFan • 04/14/26 07:49 PM ET
but good point nice to know someone where you're going**

I don't understand this unless
gcdevilhokie • 04/14/26 03:27 PM ET
Not necessarily about money. Maybe not liking Duffy's system?**
hokie77 • 04/14/26 03:51 PM ET
Yes. Think it's a better fit for her, in part because of system.**
David CunninghamAdmin • 04/14/26 04:17 PM ET
Explain please**
RiverViewHokie • 04/15/26 09:48 AM ET
Can you elaborate on the difference between the 2 systems & what makes her
UpstateSCHokie • 04/15/26 06:37 AM ET
IMHO opinion the system was not holding her back
VAHokie89 • 04/15/26 08:56 PM ET
I'm not sure what this means. She'll be replacing Mia Moore, who was their
King of Hokies • 04/14/26 10:04 PM ET
More or a bad fit for offense or defense?**
vtbball80 • 04/14/26 07:03 PM ET
It will take off so much pressure to score and let her excel in assists.**
j9hokie • 04/14/26 04:33 PM ET
That’s my thought. Gotta be tough on the body too. **
Stork • 04/14/26 03:52 PM ET
Yup,didn't have Clemson on my bingo card.Seems like going a level down.They
HokieBrazil • 04/14/26 03:31 PM ET
So could they**
j9hokie • 04/14/26 04:34 PM ET
They are same level as us in ACC
texashokie1 • 04/14/26 04:20 PM ET
Clemson trending up (too). Poppie recruiting well. **
mwke • 04/14/26 03:49 PM ET
Dang,just saw their recruiting class.Do they have way more money than us?**
HokieBrazil • 04/14/26 04:14 PM ET
I think Poppie is an ace recruiter**
