How many former top 100 recruits has VT or Duffy got from the portal?

Seems like we would want to retain the ones we have. They aren't easily replaced by VT.

Looks like Coach Duffy will have to build team out of portal

We haven't lost anyone, including White to NIL. **

Seems like the model for sustained higher performance is to

"Build a team out of portal." She's returning the majority of her roster!**

Down to almost half of last year's roster... 6 out of 11?**
VAHokie89 03/26/25 01:03 PM ET
Those numbers don’t necessarily tell the entire story with 2 graduating
BackInTheBurg 03/26/25 01:59 PM ET
Agreed. Just acknowleding that it is barely the majority**
VAHokie89 03/26/25 02:14 PM ET
Hopefully the rest of last year’s team returns.**

Is that a good thing? I think he might be indicating we need to get better

Post play is where we needed the most improvement and we have 2 post player

Sure, but it's different to say VT needs to add pieces rather than rebuild.**
David CunninghamAdmin 03/26/25 12:24 PM ET
Thank you! The fan hysteria over transfer news just baffles me.**
vtbball80 03/26/25 11:04 AM ET
I have not seen a lot of hysteria for the women's transfers**
VAHokie89 03/26/25 01:03 PM ET
There is some hand wringing - small roster, need to hit the portal hard...
vtbball80 03/26/25 02:30 PM ET
There’s definitely some that are approaching it. **
Stork 03/26/25 02:38 PM ET
a lot of players in the portal were bench warmers,**

Not sure that there is hysteria. I see excitement and the

I interpreted your "have to build" as hand wringing - sorry if I got that..
vtbball80 03/26/25 02:26 PM ET
Yeah, again, she was taking one portal a year at Marquette...

Things are changing though with more mass exodus occuring in the world

Quite a difference between Big East and ACC in women’s hoops. And what was

Plenty of very good guards hopefully coming back. And an excellent pg

Why do you say that? I’m pretty sure none of this is a surprise to Coach
BackInTheBurg 03/25/25 10:17 PM ET
Odds are she knew this last year when she went with 11 only
VAHokie89 03/25/25 10:14 PM ET
Definitely. She’s got this. I expect a few big splash portal additions.**
Stork 03/26/25 04:11 AM ET
Everyone's hoping/assuming ....
VAHokie89 03/26/25 10:56 AM ET
Just hope we don’t have any splash withdrawals **
DGHOKIE 03/26/25 06:52 AM ET
We don’t have any players currently that we can’t live without.
Stork 03/26/25 07:42 AM ET
I would prefer that we don’t lose any. Especially six of them **
DGHOKIE 03/26/25 09:31 AM ET
Disagree. Don’t wanna live without Baker, Nelson, Wentzel, Suffern,
Durham Hokie 03/26/25 08:23 AM ET
Wells coming along nicely too**
j9hokie 03/26/25 02:20 PM ET
While I want to keep them, everyone is replaceable

Totally disagree with this sentiment. I kind of understand what you’re im-
BackInTheBurg 03/26/25 11:22 AM ET
Like i said, it is also about who would replace them

hokeyhokie 03/26/25 11:10 AM ET
Don’t want to loose them, but none are in the category of Amoore or Strack
Stork 03/26/25 08:26 AM ET
We didn’t lose them to the portal. Kenny took them. Portal was the Vehicle **

Same. Though would not be surprised

There’s one that wouldn’t surprise me, but I suspect would shock many. And
