Now that is a really negative view of the world.

There is a big big difference between Kenny and CMD. Kenny only focused on 7 or so of his players. Many of our players have come along nicely this year after being ignored last year. The year has developed nicely. Sure the loses sting but there have not been that many. My only wish at the moment is that students and fans show up in greater number. Casell can be an intimidating place I recall last year's team walking onto the floor, the crowd roars, and team goes woooooow.

Ole Miss KY game is getting hot for anyone interested
TomTurkey • 02/10/25 08:20 PM ET
Reminded me of the Hokies game against Baylor
VANESSAHOKIE • 02/11/25 04:22 PM ET
Yikes. Brooks sort of threw former VT commit, Amelia Hassett under the bus
VTBoar • 02/11/25 12:37 PM ET
Well before the next transfer portal opening .
Reston Hokie2 • 02/11/25 05:56 PM ET
Yeah big time threw her under the bus. Seems pissed at her.
VANESSAHOKIE • 02/11/25 04:28 PM ET
Yeah, that’s something the coach needs to say to the player, not the press.
BEST2VT • 02/11/25 08:52 PM ET
Don’t remember that speech ever from Kenny**
`lag • 02/11/25 04:07 PM ET
That’s not sort of. That is throwing**
Stork • 02/11/25 02:48 PM ET
Time for Amelia Hassett and Clara Silva to come back to VT next year.Just
HokieBrazil • 02/11/25 02:19 PM ET
Come “back”? They never got here
hokiepro • 02/12/25 11:01 AM ET
Didn't they have at least an on-campus visit?We will never get Strack back
HokieBrazil • 02/12/25 12:55 PM ET
Maybe. Wonder if he “adopts” Hassett when Georgia leaves
hokiepro • 02/12/25 01:43 PM ET
Hey Amelia, you can become "our" Aussie! ❤️❤️❤️🤪**
`lag • 02/12/25 08:30 AM ET
I second that ...**
Reston Hokie2 • 02/11/25 06:00 PM ET
That’s one way to treat your players. Don’t take any responsibility
maroonhiker • 02/11/25 01:25 PM ET
He wanted an SEC fanbase...and I look forward to him experiencing all one
I love VT! • 02/11/25 03:45 PM ET
Yep feeling the pressure of his new job
`lag • 02/11/25 04:09 PM ET
He's a cult leader, not a coach.**
NokieHokie • 02/11/25 01:36 PM ET
Thanks for the link. So much there!
Va AandM • 02/11/25 01:13 PM ET
That would take smart coaching. Something he has always lacked.**
NokieHokie • 02/11/25 01:20 PM ET
Brooks has never had a clue.**
NokieHokie • 02/11/25 01:13 PM ET
He doesn't know [how to teach or motivate].
TomTurkey • 02/11/25 12:48 PM ET
I do think, as I've read here, assistants probably did teach the Queens.**
TomTurkey • 02/11/25 01:15 PM ET
Nope. CKB is more involved in individual player development than . .
MidloHokie • 02/11/25 02:01 PM ET
That is similar to the way I have described him He is like the
SHPHOKIE • 02/11/25 10:07 PM ET
Thanks for the clarification, i.e., correction
TomTurkey • 02/11/25 02:03 PM ET
Sure sounds like it with that “no clue” statement.
RJHokie • 02/11/25 12:52 PM ET
I'm so glad CKB left to make room for CMD**
TomTurkey • 02/10/25 09:44 PM ET
CKB was a great recruiter. CMD is a better game coach**
UpperQuad • 02/11/25 11:38 AM ET
Before Liz, he was a good recruiter. That changed things for him**
hokietom87 • 02/11/25 11:59 AM ET
He was smart enough to recruit Raven. **
TomTurkey • 02/11/25 12:54 PM ET
CMD should join the snowball fight on the Drillfield like
Kid Rock • 02/11/25 11:19 AM ET
Yes !!!!! She brings Sunshine !! Hokie Spirit..
JRHokie • 02/11/25 09:05 AM ET
Agree. No malice towards KB, but MD=great coach. **
133182Hokie • 02/11/25 07:22 AM ET
VT is just a means to an end for either of them.
Tank • 02/10/25 09:56 PM ET
I would think she would stay at VT if money was matched unless ND called.**
Maroon Unit • 02/11/25 01:27 PM ET
You can be ambitious and still expect to stay somewhere for a while
`lag • 02/11/25 04:12 PM ET
Now that is a really negative view of the world. ◄
Reston Hokie2 • 02/11/25 09:31 AM ET
Not meant to be negative...simply realistic.
Tank • 02/11/25 11:23 AM ET
I predict you are wrong ....
Reston Hokie2 • 02/11/25 05:34 PM ET
Okay. I predict I'm right. I hope I'm wrong.
Tank • 02/11/25 05:49 PM ET
If she has the success that the big boys want her it means that she has
DGHOKIE • 02/11/25 02:40 PM ET
Like CKB?
Tank • 02/11/25 03:29 PM ET
CKB is not young**
DGHOKIE • 02/11/25 07:20 PM ET
He is to me! : )**
Tank • 02/12/25 12:24 PM ET
Probably not wrong, but premature. X+Y=? for the possibilities. **
TomTurkey • 02/11/25 11:28 AM ET
Speculating is what we do here.**
Tank • 02/11/25 11:30 AM ET
Sure, but not going to give it a thought now, though.
TomTurkey • 02/11/25 11:32 AM ET
I think she stays longer term **
DGHOKIE • 02/11/25 11:05 AM ET
And then there is the ND job....**
UTPr0sim • 02/11/25 11:57 AM ET
Someday, no doubt. THAT coach ain't going nowhere soon.
TomTurkey • 02/11/25 12:51 PM ET
That one isn’t opening soon **
DGHOKIE • 02/11/25 12:51 PM ET
No, there isn't the ND job. That position is occupied, and there will no
King of Hokies • 02/11/25 12:39 PM ET
If she gets poached so be it,that means she left the program in good shape**
HokieBrazil • 02/11/25 07:52 AM ET
Indeed, fans can't hope/aspire to be mediocre due to fear of
VT757to276 • 02/11/25 08:41 AM ET
Pete thinks he can grab the big enchilada at VT.
TomTurkey • 02/11/25 11:16 AM ET
How do you know that VT is not her ultimate goal? Did she
Blueboy • 02/10/25 11:44 PM ET
It's simple an opinion...but you already knew that.**
Tank • 02/11/25 11:24 AM ET
Let’s start worrying. If not ND, who’ll replace Geno ;j
Va AandM • 02/11/25 06:12 AM ET
good Lord. Can you all quit being such negative whiney babies. Live 4 today
j9hokie • 02/10/25 10:25 PM ET
Why the overreaction? I'm just being realistic.
Tank • 02/11/25 11:28 AM ET
There were absurd fans on her first day saying she loves VT and won't leave**
NokieHokie • 02/11/25 11:34 AM ET
He wasn't being negative. Nor was he whining. That's actually you.**
NokieHokie • 02/10/25 10:27 PM ET
No, no, no**
Tech76G • 02/11/25 07:26 AM ET
But, for now, she's our HC**
TomTurkey • 02/10/25 10:14 PM ET
The good old Kenny Brooks special,collapsing in the 4th with no adjustments**
HokieBrazil • 02/10/25 09:01 PM ET
No one listened when he coached here. Maroon & Orange glasses.
va.tech • 02/11/25 10:50 AM ET
Many of us called it,but those last 2 years blinded most.It even showed up
HokieBrazil • 02/11/25 11:22 AM ET
You weren't allowed to criticize him when he was here. Even before the Liz/
NokieHokie • 02/11/25 11:15 AM ET
His only adjustment is to give the ball to Amoore and have her run
Italian Stallion • 02/10/25 09:04 PM ET
They still have Texas, LSU, South Carolina, Tennessee left to play.**
Italian Stallion • 02/10/25 09:00 PM ET
The SECs murder's row.
VANESSAHOKIE • 02/11/25 04:26 PM ET
They’ll go 1-3 or 0-4**
hokiepro • 02/11/25 06:36 AM ET
Yeah thinking they upset 1 of them.
VANESSAHOKIE • 02/11/25 09:33 PM ET
Those teams are deep and athletic. They will be lucky to win 1.**
Italian Stallion • 02/12/25 03:49 PM ET
Wow, that is gauntlet schedule. #3 TX, #4 SC-e, #5 LSU, #15 TN.
carhokies • 02/11/25 12:12 AM ET
Give the SEC credit, all the better teams play each other at the end of
`lag • 02/10/25 09:16 PM ET
They play Texas on Thursday.**
dubnic2roxy1 • 02/10/25 09:03 PM ET
And still USCe**
TomTurkey • 02/10/25 09:14 PM ET
And LSU**
HokieHeartNSoul • 02/10/25 09:28 PM ET
Another 4th quarter special by KB
Ship PA Hokie • 02/10/25 08:59 PM ET
Re: Amoore. I don't care one way or the other.
Atlee Hokie • 02/10/25 09:57 PM ET
She probably got 5x the NIL than if she had stayed**
Jethro Tull • 02/10/25 10:19 PM ET
No, she is international student who cannot by law receive NILs in US.
carhokies • 02/11/25 12:44 PM ET
omg. Not this again. **
I love VT! • 02/11/25 03:49 PM ET
If you don't think she's being well-compensated in Lexington . . .
MidloHokie • 02/11/25 02:05 PM ET
I'm stating US Immigration laws. And have friend works on NILs at a college
carhokies • 02/11/25 03:26 PM ET
Has that "friend" explained why academically ineligible no longer exists? **
Jethro Tull • 02/11/25 04:07 PM ET
Or upped her game coached by a5’7” Naismith award PG/former WNBA PRO
Va AandM • 02/11/25 07:36 AM ET
If she stayed our kids would not have played. We got 3 years for her 1
DGHOKIE • 02/10/25 10:07 PM ET
Her alleged toxicity would have festered. Clash with CMD might have been..
TomTurkey • 02/11/25 11:21 AM ET
I hadn’t heard about her toxicity until recently. Interesting. Would love
DGHOKIE • 02/11/25 02:41 PM ET
I knew she had a strong personality but would like to know more, also
TomTurkey • 02/11/25 02:46 PM ET
True dat**
DGHOKIE • 02/11/25 12:52 PM ET
Loved her and appreciated her talent and drive. But gone.**
TomTurkey • 02/11/25 12:57 PM ET
I agree
delmarva hokie • 02/11/25 10:32 AM ET
Certainly a paradox, but I agree with that. If VT was ready to make a run
`lag • 02/10/25 10:56 PM ET
Yeah, that’s a good point. **
RJHokie • 02/10/25 10:14 PM ET
One, maybe two of our current guards would probably have portaled out and
DGHOKIE • 02/10/25 10:20 PM ET
He’ll beam some gal in with NIL$$$. **
Va AandM • 02/11/25 05:51 AM ET
Thought about that. But he could lose continuity. We’ll see. Maybe he has a
DGHOKIE • 02/11/25 06:53 AM ET
Lexi or an identified transfer? **
Va AandM • 02/11/25 07:30 AM ET
Didn’t think Lexi was a PG. we’ll see **
DGHOKIE • 02/11/25 11:03 AM ET
Lani was a MD portal anyway, right?**
`lag • 02/10/25 11:20 PM ET
She was and may not have come if GA was still here **
DGHOKIE • 02/11/25 06:55 AM ET
Tall but slow. That's the tradeoff**
j9hokie • 02/10/25 09:05 PM ET
I'll root for GA in the WNBA. 60/40 she's not drafted.**
TomTurkey • 02/10/25 09:01 PM ET
She's in all the MOCK Drafts.
VANESSAHOKIE • 02/11/25 04:19 PM ET
Oh I think she will be drafted. Make a roster? Dunno. Wish her well next yr**
j9hokie • 02/10/25 09:06 PM ET
she might luck out with two new teams coming on line**
`lag • 02/10/25 09:19 PM ET
Ok, that. 60/40**
TomTurkey • 02/10/25 09:13 PM ET
Ole Miss had 54 rebounds, 27 offensive and 27 defensive.

Nope. Lexi Blue didn’t play; Silva barely saw the floor
hokiepro • 02/10/25 08:55 PM ET

UpperQuad • 02/11/25 08:47 AM ET
So he essentially played 6. He hasn't learned
hokietom87 • 02/10/25 09:15 PM ET
He’s not developing the Fr
hokiepro • 02/10/25 09:18 PM ET
And look what he did to Micheaux. Basically wasted a year of her
Italian Stallion • 02/10/25 09:26 PM ET
Noticed Strack is not his 5. Using Kitley's moves. Maybe as she matures.
TomTurkey • 02/10/25 08:57 PM ET
Very different from Kitley. Stronger, scrappier, but less finesse.
j9hokie • 02/10/25 09:09 PM ET
Yep Kitley has the prettiest jumper for a big I've ever seen in WBB
tallahasseehokie • 02/11/25 11:11 AM ET
I feel the SEC refs just let them play and there would be twice as many
Kid Rock • 02/10/25 08:27 PM ET
Yeah, player "plowing" Amoore with her free hand.**
