You offered only 2 possibilities, both of which impugn one party or the

other. How about they just disagree about whether Baker is a fit at the 3 or not? That's the simplest, and most graceful, interpretation. But you decided that wasn't possible, "it MUST be ...." That's trash. Baker may be leaving for more money. But you don't know that. There is zero to suggest any friction between coach and player. So that one you just created out of thin air. If Baker wants to play the 3 the fact is she isn't going to get that opportunity at VT. She's not a 3 in Duffy's system. That's a fact. I suggest sticking to those instead of making up your own story lines.

Is Lanie Grant from the Richmond area a take for us for next season?

Don't think she'd come to VT. But maybe UVa. Is from Richmond.

My thought was point guard, learn from an established and recognized former

I'd take her in a heartbeat. But I don't think we can afford her.**

So you know how much NIL VT women's basketball has?
ancient alien 2018 04/08/26 07:31 PM ET
No, I don't. But she will command a lot because she's a guard who can

Apparently UNC can’t afford her either. But they can afford Baker? Maybe

Hard to believe Duffy would not have played Baker at 3 to keep her at VT.
hokie77 04/08/26 07:12 PM ET
Or Baker isn't a fit at the 3. Maybe stick with the facts. **

My comment was not meant to be a dig at Coach D or CB. Stick with facts?**

Yes sir. So sorry to have offended your majesty, the King. **

Would a combo of Baker and Nelson's NIL be enough or is she worth more than
Italian Stallion 04/08/26 04:32 PM ET
Still need a PG first and foremost so you can't use all our NIL even though
