Italian Stallion

But Georgia was only recruited by two schools, a smaller division school

and Virginia Tech. She didn't really know Kenny Brooks yet, so she came because of the school not Brooks. Brooks was just the offerer. Their relationship developed over the years to the point where it seems others on the team were neglected. Suffren going into the portal and then returning once Kenny left is telling in itself. She was obviously trying to get away from Kenny but ultimately loved Virginia Tech.

Only thing that was confusing about the pod

Yeah the comment about “if I wasn’t good enough during the season to turn
hokiepro • 05/08/24 07:34 AM ET
I don't recall many Hokie fans saying she wasn't good enough to go pro.
Hokie_Forester • 05/08/24 08:52 AM ET
same, I don't know where that came from...
`lag • 05/08/24 09:12 AM ET
No it wasn't. It was making the point that she came here for the coach. You

Carleigh, Tilly, Samyha. Mckenzie, Rose and Carys would disagree**
thunar • 05/08/24 11:42 AM ET
They may not have been "invited" to go with coach Brooks...

Carleigh is going to explode under CMD. Book it!**
TomTurkey • 05/08/24 03:17 PM ET
I think she's spending the summer on ball-handling. Carys too.**

I think Samhya entering the portal and u turning back after CKB left
thunar • 05/08/24 03:12 PM ET
Im not sure that Tilly and Rose really wanted to go with Brooks
RJHokie • 05/08/24 01:56 PM ET
Transferring twice is also tougher than transferring once
UpperQuad • 05/08/24 03:40 PM ET
Agree.**
RJHokie • 05/08/24 03:57 PM ET
Coach Duffy is probably a breath of fresh air, like Coach Pry for some.**
TomTurkey • 05/08/24 12:05 PM ET
It honestly varies. You have the Dax Hollifields of the world who lost
Hokie_Forester • 05/08/24 10:18 AM ET
I agree with that. But which came first? Did he choose VT for Bud, then
NokieHokie • 05/08/24 10:20 AM ET
I agree he came because of Bud but he stayed because of VT.

But that is just it. Georgia's first experience was meeting KB, Myah's

I disagree, she & parents met KB at an event in Belgium, I am guessing

Ekh said she wanted to continue experiencing Cassell.

Yeah, I couldn't figure out what she was saying there, first I'm thinking..

Raven wasn't ready to "graduate"?
TomTurkey • 05/08/24 11:08 AM ET
Or they want to use it as a vacation/retirement home.

A bunch of my alumni friends are retiring to Blacksburg

Football, graduation, and move-in
UpperQuad • 05/08/24 04:41 PM ET
Yeah, even an off-the-cuff comment like that warms your heart.**

To be clear, Liz said she wanted 10 more years of NIL.**

I saw mock draft for next year.
MrFantastic! • 05/08/24 07:37 AM ET
I’m pretty sure GA was in the top 15
GCHokieof91 • 05/08/24 08:44 AM ET
THe other night i saw a list without her. At least Top 12 . No biggie.**
MrFantastic! • 05/08/24 03:54 PM ET
It stood out to me how self-deprecating she was.

hokiepro • 05/08/24 07:38 AM ET
indeed. I knew that.
MrFantastic! • 05/08/24 07:49 AM ET
She has a lot riding on her performance this year. Internationally + UK.
Long-Lost Hokie • 05/08/24 08:10 AM ET
weird statement. **
MrFantastic! • 05/08/24 08:22 AM ET
How so?**
Long-Lost Hokie • 05/08/24 08:25 AM ET
Just her stating that without Liz. **
MrFantastic! • 05/09/24 04:02 PM ET
Not**
TomTurkey • 05/08/24 10:19 AM ET
Even in the tournament loss I thought the girls gave 100%
EDGEMAN • 05/08/24 06:57 AM ET
Yeah, the "significantly readjust" was as big a problem as losing Liz...
`lag • 05/08/24 08:30 AM ET
We've only been running that offense for four years...
EDGEMAN • 05/08/24 08:36 AM ET
Well yeah, Strack 18 points, 10 rebounds, 2 blocks, not too shabby.
`lag • 05/08/24 09:04 AM ET
Indeed. She played a great game.**
EDGEMAN • 05/08/24 09:28 AM ET
If Kenny gave 100% mentally vs Baylor in-game

Following DCW is a really low bar 😁.**
RJHokie • 05/08/24 10:08 AM ET
Oh, absolutely.**
saret • 05/08/24 11:38 AM ET
I agree. But trying to say it's because he was focused on getting the UK
NokieHokie • 05/08/24 09:32 AM ET
I think he's saying he's a mediocre* in-game coach.
TomTurkey • 05/08/24 10:33 AM ET
I agree with that. And why it was smart of him to jump ship.**
NokieHokie • 05/08/24 10:35 AM ET
We'll never know. Nor, do I care. Only KB knows.**
saret • 05/08/24 09:54 AM ET
Wasn't that Kenny's MO?
EDGEMAN • 05/08/24 07:32 AM ET
Yep…but at the height of our success people wouldn’t hear any criticism
hokiepro • 05/08/24 07:37 AM ET
My view is that college coaching is 60-70%
1977hokie • 05/08/24 09:53 AM ET
Many lessons learned

NokieHokie • 05/08/24 08:30 AM ET
Hard watching that much transparency and raw disclosure

Not sure you correct**

I'm sure you are incorrect.**
