Why not give the same grace to athletes, that we give to non-athletes?

If they pick a different grad school, for personal reasons, so be it. They've earned the right. Amoore has been in Blacksburg for 4.5 years. She doesn't owe us another year. If not for Covid, this would have never been an issue. She's 23 years old, not a child. I may not like her choice, but I respect her right to do what she wants. Compared to a host of successful athletes at VT who transferred out, she's paid her dues more than just about all of them.

In case you missed it, Liz said in her Instagram live before the draft
hokieian • 04/15/24 10:36 PM ET
For conversation: your opinion how would you feel seeing Georgia with Liz
carhokies • 04/16/24 10:14 AM ET
Hoping they will both do it and transition it to current/new team member(s)**
VANESSAHOKIE • 04/16/24 05:07 PM ET
For me, it’s not about why one left, it’s about how.
WhoDatVT • 04/16/24 10:23 AM ET
It would be great! She is a funny, intelligent young woman
WestEndHokie39 • 04/16/24 10:21 AM ET
Maybe Georgia will be like, y’all I gotta do what I gotta do….
JHokieD • 04/16/24 06:12 AM ET
Traitor? Lol…lots of you need a perspective check**
WestEndHokie39 • 04/16/24 10:22 AM ET
When you use the word "lots".
thunar • 04/16/24 10:27 AM ET
Your post assumes the majority always has better collective wisdom.....
vtbball80 • 04/16/24 11:04 AM ET
In Fandom yes it is. Now if this was science or math
thunar • 04/16/24 11:07 AM ET
When you follow the masses, the "m" is silent.**
NokieHokie • 04/16/24 12:21 PM ET
The word "masses" is important here.
thunar • 04/16/24 01:01 PM ET
A majority of fanatics are often wrong....
vtbball80 • 04/16/24 11:26 AM ET
Again they are not wrong. As you cant measure it.**
thunar • 04/16/24 11:51 AM ET
So the minority isn't wrong either, so no one needs "some introspective"**
vtbball80 • 04/16/24 12:11 PM ET
You do if your telling the majority they need a "perspective check"
thunar • 04/16/24 01:03 PM ET
Is Duffy a traitor? **
Pride_and_Joy • 04/16/24 10:12 AM ET
Without Kenny there is no Duffy! **
Italian Stallion • 04/16/24 11:08 AM ET
Was Duffy recruiting for her next stop during Marquette's season?**
BROman Hokie • 04/16/24 10:16 AM ET
I assume not.
Pride_and_Joy • 04/16/24 10:18 AM ET
I don't care that KB left, but I do question how invested he was...
BROman Hokie • 04/16/24 10:42 AM ET
Clear difference after Liz was injured with CKB mindset
NewportBeacHokie • 04/16/24 11:52 AM ET
In retrospect, I now don't believe Kenny wanted to wait another week by
Italian Stallion • 04/16/24 11:07 AM ET
About Georgia.....Will she have a degree from VT after this year? If so,
MSLSHOKIE • 04/16/24 09:14 AM ET
It really is going to suck seeing Amoore getting drafted as a Wildcat.**
Hokster • 04/16/24 12:04 AM ET
Anyone have friends at BC? How’d they feel about Soule, drafted as a Hokie?**
Va AandM • 04/16/24 08:27 AM ET
It sucks, Soule got so much Hokie love she
Tay790 • 04/16/24 08:45 AM ET
It’s always good when they come to VT.
Pride_and_Joy • 04/16/24 11:15 AM ET
Although I agree with your overall point, those individual cases are not
Italian Stallion • 04/16/24 11:52 AM ET
I understand this is not your main point, but I have to disagree that GA is
HOHKIE • 04/16/24 02:52 PM ET
Certainly not "a contender" now without our all-time assist leader.
Italian Stallion • 04/16/24 03:00 PM ET
Certainly losing GA changes the outlook for VT, but I don't think VT is a
HOHKIE • 04/16/24 03:19 PM ET
The point is that even if GA stayed, we're not a contender to
Pride_and_Joy • 04/16/24 03:07 PM ET
Well then, we just disagree on that point. **
Italian Stallion • 04/16/24 04:05 PM ET
If you want to base your conclusions on your projection of what
Pride_and_Joy • 04/16/24 01:43 PM ET
Triggered much? I merely asked some questions but it is YOU who
Italian Stallion • 04/16/24 02:56 PM ET
I'm not triggered at all, friend.
Pride_and_Joy • 04/16/24 03:05 PM ET
Thanks for your concern but there is no trauma here. I am completely
Italian Stallion • 04/16/24 04:02 PM ET
And Kayana Traylor from Purdue drafted as a Hokie. Oh how quickly we forget**
KingLeoVT • 04/16/24 08:43 AM ET
Duffy era. Nothing more, imo.**
MrFantastic! • 04/16/24 06:28 AM ET
Who’s GA?**
Hardcore_Hokie • 04/15/24 11:01 PM ET
Grad assistant**
EDGEMAN • 04/16/24 05:24 AM ET
Nice pull! One of 2 possibilities.**
TomTurkey • 04/16/24 08:46 AM ET
A Hokie**
WestEndHokie39 • 04/16/24 12:27 AM ET
...for one more month**
EDGEMAN • 04/16/24 05:22 AM ET
Forever and always **
WestEndHokie39 • 04/16/24 07:04 AM ET
Please elaborate on how you think this should go
thunar • 04/16/24 08:41 AM ET
Categorically untrue**
Rationalist • 04/16/24 10:50 AM ET
Give the example**
thunar • 04/16/24 10:52 AM ET
Sigh... I'm not spending a lot of time on this
Rationalist • 04/16/24 10:57 AM ET
Reread my post. College**
thunar • 04/16/24 10:58 AM ET
And you said basketball, he gave a football reference.**
Italian Stallion • 04/16/24 11:12 AM ET
Nope. In one month, she'll be a Necktucky Cat for the rest of her life.**
EDGEMAN • 04/16/24 07:15 AM ET
Nah…
VTDawg9095 • 04/16/24 09:08 AM ET
You’re an anonymous Hokie, and always will be. GA can be as well. However
vatechcowpatty • 04/16/24 10:10 AM ET
She has many Hokie fans, patty. Always will. If you choose denial, it's ok.**
StoneHokie • 04/16/24 10:43 AM ET
Yep, people get post-grad degrees elsewhere.
TomTurkey • 04/16/24 09:22 AM ET
GA will get drafted as a cat. Oh well
Tay790 • 04/15/24 10:58 PM ET
During her departure message, she never ONCE mentioned the words Hokie…
HoakieBS • 04/16/24 10:03 AM ET
It's literally the first word. **
hokieian • 04/16/24 11:41 AM ET
Seriously, man. What is wrong with you????????
I love VT! • 04/16/24 10:48 AM ET
Why do people keep saying this? It is not true.**
dallasvt • 04/16/24 10:29 AM ET
Thank you for trying
Rationalist • 04/16/24 10:54 AM ET
One guy keeps saying it...over and over again. The aptly named HoakieBS...
I love VT! • 04/16/24 10:51 AM ET
some hokies dont understand why people are upset either- she didnt do
frankyfrankerson • 04/15/24 11:27 PM ET
Only thing I see is
MrFantastic! • 04/16/24 08:23 AM ET
Strongly suspect that after she leaves college basketball Georgia
lazarus1 • 04/16/24 08:55 AM ET
I am almost certain that will be true.**
thunar • 04/16/24 01:17 PM ET
They’re upset at the wrong person
hokiepro • 04/16/24 06:50 AM ET
I would not follow someone who showed no leadership
thunar • 04/16/24 08:39 AM ET
Probably lost on her in the confusion. Loyalty is strong with this one. Bye**
TomTurkey • 04/16/24 08:44 AM ET
We are selfish
HokiesACC2004 • 04/16/24 02:17 AM ET
She should have entered the draft
HokiePoq • 04/16/24 08:53 AM ET
Feels like he-who-must-not-be-named was looking out for his best interests,
hokieian • 04/16/24 09:00 AM ET
Selfish can be used to described as to why she chose to leave
thunar • 04/16/24 08:36 AM ET
Petty is the best description of your response **
WestEndHokie39 • 04/16/24 10:18 AM ET
Accurate
thunar • 04/16/24 10:35 AM ET
She absolutely........
2hhoop3 • 04/16/24 10:48 AM ET
I agree she should be looking out for herself.
thunar • 04/16/24 10:57 AM ET
Your opinion......
2hhoop3 • 04/16/24 11:48 AM ET
Question away. But then that is just your opinion.**
thunar • 04/16/24 11:54 AM ET
Why not give the same grace to athletes, that we give to non-athletes? ◄
StoneHokie • 04/16/24 09:47 AM ET
She didn't pick Kentucky to go to grad school.
