Whit got women's bball to be a big hit in BBurg, and a name ppl know across

America. Short of a national championship, we got as much as we could have hoped for in his tenure. It will be interesting to see how UK players react to Brooks' team management.

Don’t forget Brooks stripped VT of our inside player Strack
BAMAHOKIE • 11/10/24 07:33 PM ET
Face it, players commit to coaches not schools. I'm not mad about Brooks
HeisenBurg13 • 11/11/24 04:18 AM ET
Meh. Brooks is a POS**
ModerateHokie • 11/11/24 10:57 AM ET
Nothing wrong with him taking Strack with him.**
WestEndHokie39 • 11/10/24 09:46 PM ET
Nothing wrong with our disliking it**
El Hokie • 11/10/24 09:54 PM ET
I choose to act like an adult
WestEndHokie39 • 11/10/24 10:15 PM ET
Key word “act”**
El Hokie • 11/11/24 08:53 AM ET
Nothing wrong with being upset or disappointed that Strack left. **
AbsolutVT03 • 11/11/24 12:05 AM ET
I was referring to the word “traitor”.
WestEndHokie39 • 11/11/24 05:31 AM ET
Perhaps. Although the way Brooks left wasn’t great. You could certainly
AbsolutVT03 • 11/11/24 01:58 PM ET
Yeah, he could have handled leaving better (Captain Obvious reporting)
WestEndHokie39 • 11/11/24 03:50 PM ET
Brooks didn’t the way he left here **
hokiepro • 11/10/24 10:52 PM ET
Duffy our coach
MrFantastic! • 11/10/24 08:35 PM ET
Yet Hokie fans were hoping Marquette’s Liza Karlen would follow Duffy to VT
Hokie-NC • 11/10/24 08:22 PM ET
Actually, we can**
El Hokie • 11/10/24 09:55 PM ET
If your best players get poached…
1977hokie • 11/10/24 08:56 PM ET
Oh that sounds easy. Maybe we poach 1 or 2 from USCe or LSU
DGHOKIE • 11/11/24 07:35 AM ET
Of course. The point is don't be a hypocrite.**
NokieHokie • 11/10/24 09:36 PM ET
He did nothing wrong except fart in our general direction on his way out.
TomTurkey • 11/10/24 08:13 PM ET
No, he had Strack returning and Silva comming in. You can argue.....
vtbball80 • 11/11/24 11:53 AM ET
I think he wanted a bigger profile job
VermontDDS • 11/10/24 09:21 PM ET
I think he got his nose out of joint over sumptin
UberHOKIE • 11/10/24 09:04 PM ET
Maybe the fact that Whit decided his daughters shouldn't . . .
MidloHokie • 11/10/24 09:22 PM ET
Last I heard the was our coaches idea**
UberHOKIE • 11/11/24 09:43 PM ET
She hit a three this week....**
ChinaCat • 11/10/24 10:09 PM ET
At $900K/yr, he could afford tuition**
UpperQuad • 11/10/24 10:09 PM ET
Not the point. Many coaches scholl their children. Moir did. I understand
DGHOKIE • 11/11/24 09:22 AM ET
Zactly . . . I'm fairly sure all three Dabo's sons had/have scholarships.**
MidloHokie • 11/11/24 04:39 PM ET
At least Boeheim's and Maravich's kids could play some !!**
DGHOKIE • 11/11/24 04:44 PM ET
Well, in Pete Maravich's case he pretty got his Press the LSU job . . .
MidloHokie • 11/11/24 04:49 PM ET
I understand that Jeff Schneider got his dad a job at VT ... not an HC job**
DGHOKIE • 11/11/24 05:00 PM ET
Lots of assistants have been hired as a recruiting ploy.**
MidloHokie • 11/11/24 05:11 PM ET
Well, it’s on the record that Gabby wasn’t on scholarship because
RJHokie • 11/10/24 09:27 PM ET
You 'believe' correctly. Whit's position is certain defensible . . .
MidloHokie • 11/10/24 09:38 PM ET
How is having a player on the team that is not good enough to contribute
thunar • 11/11/24 01:19 PM ET
You do realize that having one or two kids on the bench that couldn't . .
MidloHokie • 11/11/24 04:28 PM ET
How do you know it made no difference? How many games did he lose because
thunar • 11/13/24 02:02 PM ET
Agree.
RJHokie • 11/10/24 09:52 PM ET
No, he had good players returning and an excellent incoming class
DGHOKIE • 11/10/24 08:19 PM ET
Lets see how bright that future is over there in the SEC.**
thunar • 11/11/24 01:21 PM ET
Kenny will be fine at UK. They will be better than they've been before.
MidloHokie • 11/11/24 05:17 PM ET
He will never, ever win the SEC title. Much less an NCAA championship
thunar • 11/13/24 01:54 PM ET
agree...vt would have dropped a little, but the trajectory was there &
VT757to276 • 11/11/24 08:45 AM ET
Kayl is better than expected **
DGHOKIE • 11/11/24 09:00 AM ET
Ken farted**
UberHOKIE • 11/10/24 09:02 PM ET
It’s ok. This is a transition year. CMD will get her style players
HokieAl • 11/10/24 08:08 PM ET
Strack will be all-SEC if she keeps improving…she’s that good
hokiepro • 11/10/24 08:12 PM ET
Dawn Staley has a revolving door at center.
thunar • 11/11/24 01:24 PM ET
Silva even stronger IMO**
ChinaCat • 11/10/24 10:10 PM ET
Kenny took the only two players he felt could help him. The fact is . . .
MidloHokie • 11/10/24 09:44 PM ET
Lexi should be a good one, too**
ChinaCat • 11/10/24 10:12 PM ET
Our recruit, Silva, who left also may even be better**
JRHokie73 • 11/10/24 07:44 PM ET
"Our recruit"? or Kenny's recruit?**
MidloHokie • 11/11/24 06:49 AM ET
Easy, the COACH recruits the player, not the School.**
George Baylor • 11/11/24 08:59 AM ET
Using the schools money and resources.**
thunar • 11/11/24 01:25 PM ET
At one point, they were one and the same.**
JRHokie73 • 11/11/24 08:02 AM ET
Not sure when. Hasn't been that way NCAA basketball for a long time.**
MidloHokie • 11/11/24 04:30 PM ET
I just meant that when he was VT's coach, they were **
JRHokie73 • 11/11/24 06:45 PM ET
Agree on Silva
HokieSport • 11/10/24 08:51 PM ET
And our AD couldn't keep our final 4 coach**
hokeyhokie • 11/10/24 07:38 PM ET
With the way he left. I dont want him**
thunar • 11/11/24 01:30 PM ET
Kenny Brooks can recruit. If he was a better basketball coach we’d have a

It makes no sense to suggest that recruiting and coaching are . .
MidloHokie • 11/10/24 09:29 PM ET
And how many super teams have you seen win no championships?
thunar • 11/11/24 01:35 PM ET
Actually two years as they made the NCAA run in Liz's third year. But . .
MidloHokie • 11/11/24 04:34 PM ET
Lol. The question was/ How long before we started getting top recruits.
thunar • 11/13/24 01:57 PM ET
How many years was he at VT before Kitley and Amoore? **
Va AandM • 11/11/24 07:22 AM ET
Or at JMU? The bottom line is Brooks wins basketball games. **
MidloHokie • 11/11/24 08:22 AM ET
Have you reviewed CMDs record. Blows out KB8s 1st 7 years as HC
Va AandM • 11/11/24 09:04 AM ET
Didn't know we were comparing records but I have no criticism of the hire
MidloHokie • 11/11/24 09:20 AM ET
You mentioned JMU… we don’t know how recruiting will go for next season**
Va AandM • 11/11/24 10:19 AM ET
Whit was very, very , very nice to KB during KB's entire tenure.
saret • 11/10/24 08:10 PM ET

HokieFanDC • 11/11/24 03:03 AM ET
Whit? Whit? Whit didn't do spit.**
saret • 11/11/24 05:28 PM ET
Other than hiring Brooks, you are very correct.
RJHokie • 11/11/24 05:55 PM ET
Agreed, RJ. Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn occasionally.**
saret • 11/11/24 10:02 PM ET
Great sitting and chatting with you and the Mrs tonight. **
RJHokie • 11/11/24 10:07 PM ET
We're always glad to see you, RJ.**

You wouldn't trade the cost of scholarship for retaining KB and the . . .
MidloHokie • 11/10/24 09:35 PM ET
First, I was never a big KB fan, so the answer to the first question is
saret • 11/10/24 10:14 PM ET
This is just blatantly unfair. Kenny had no idea he would be leaving . .
MidloHokie • 11/11/24 04:47 PM ET
At this point just change your name to Midlowildcat
thunar • 11/13/24 02:16 PM ET
Agree with your second sentence, I believe KB didn't know he would
