We didn’t lose them to the portal. Kenny took them. Portal was the Vehicle

Looks like Coach Duffy will have to build team out of portal
BAMAHOKIE • 03/25/25 10:04 PM ET
We haven't lost anyone, including White to NIL. **
HokieFan14 • 03/26/25 01:09 PM ET
Seems like the model for sustained higher performance is to

"Build a team out of portal." She's returning the majority of her roster!**
David CunninghamAdmin • 03/26/25 10:39 AM ET
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.**
Durham Hokie • 03/26/25 12:25 PM ET
Is that a good thing? I think he might be indicating we need to get better
vatechcowpatty • 03/26/25 11:39 AM ET
Post play is where we needed the most improvement and we have 2 post player
Hokiekid1 • 03/26/25 12:33 PM ET
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,**
mrknowitall • 03/26/25 12:46 PM ET
Not sure that there is hysteria. I see excitement and the
VTBAMA • 03/26/25 12:02 PM ET
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...
`lag • 03/26/25 09:03 AM ET
Things are changing though with more mass exodus occuring in the world
VAHokie89 • 03/26/25 01:04 PM ET
Quite a difference between Big East and ACC in women’s hoops. And what was
Stork • 03/26/25 09:33 AM ET
Plenty of very good guards hopefully coming back. And an excellent pg
Durham Hokie • 03/26/25 08:18 AM ET
its not black and white
1947Sunbowl • 03/26/25 07:56 AM ET
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
VAHokie89 • 03/26/25 11:00 AM ET
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
VAHokie89 • 03/26/25 12:59 PM ET
How many former top 100 recruits has VT or Duffy got from the portal?
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 ** ◄
DGHOKIE • 03/26/25 07:15 PM ET
You want to maintain your core players, especially those that want to be
BackInTheBurg • 03/26/25 11:02 AM ET
You do.. assuming you do
VAHokie89 • 03/26/25 01:05 PM ET
Deep breath. No one is saying get rid of who we have. All that is being
Stork • 03/26/25 12:05 PM ET
Did you even read my post or do you just respond in kind? Sometimes I won-
BackInTheBurg • 03/26/25 12:13 PM ET
I’ll leave you alone.
Stork • 03/26/25 12:21 PM ET
Haha. Until I post something about Kate Sears **
BackInTheBurg • 03/26/25 01:36 PM ET
And Lani White**
Durham Hokie • 03/26/25 08:24 AM ET
Same. Though would not be surprised
VAHokie89 • 03/26/25 07:08 AM ET
There’s one that wouldn’t surprise me, but I suspect would shock many. And
