Spear is needed

Assuming she’s a culture fit I think we would be crazy not to recruit. Yes we have stars and have done a great job in the portal but what hurt us was having quality depth when people had an off night or foul trouble. We can always more scoring options to keep folks from collapsing on Georgia or doubling Kitley in the paint. LSU was successful because they could throw quality depth at everyone and wear you down late in the game. They will be deep next year. I think you load up with good players that match our culture and have a strong 8-9 person rotation where everyone can contribute and folks can’t really double anyone without paying for it.

I believe you always go after good to great players that fit your program. **

Agreed…

Appears to me that we lost last year's recruits when we started portalling

Everyone is now using the portal so why commit anywhere? Spear would be a

It’s a balancing act that requires great scrutiny no doubt. I think we

True. You really can’t afford not to in most cases.
RJHokie • 04/28/23 07:51 PM ET
agreed. she could be the tip of the spear for our natty ch'ship run.**

Am thinking she ends up at South Carolina,they've been awfully quiet in the

They added a top-ranked guard: Paopao from Oregon.
schubee • 04/28/23 10:05 AM ET
Players in the portal want to start, not sit on the bench for rotation
carhokies • 04/28/23 12:34 AM ET
They also want to win, so going to a team with a chance of winning and

DGHOKIE • 04/29/23 12:13 PM ET
Many people on this board want to stockpile roster to 14-15 with transfers.
carhokies • 04/29/23 02:38 PM ET
Their time will come. Liz & Georgia's time is now. **
schubee • 04/29/23 12:45 PM ET
Liz and Cayla are fine... 1 year, Georgia already here ...that is probably
DGHOKIE • 04/29/23 12:48 PM ET
My point is that...
schubee • 04/29/23 01:09 PM ET
Can't argue about Liz, Cayla and Georgia but at what cost? We have the
DGHOKIE • 04/29/23 01:14 PM ET
But most do not start in their freshman year.
RJHokie • 04/29/23 12:35 PM ET
This is correct. Plus Coach Brooks know what he is doing - he is recruiting
133966Hokie • 04/29/23 12:58 PM ET
You mean like D’Asia Gregg? Clara Ford?
hokiepro • 04/28/23 07:54 PM ET
In that case I look for one of the freshmen guards to redshirt. **
RJHokie • 04/28/23 07:58 PM ET
I don’t see Kenny going after her **
texashokie1 • 04/27/23 10:14 PM ET
I tend to agree. I would like to see us bring in an experienced PG who can

Why not?
schubee • 04/27/23 10:33 PM ET
Just my opinion
texashokie1 • 04/27/23 10:57 PM ET
11 player roster with 4 true freshmen is risky...
Old Line Hokie • 04/27/23 11:07 PM ET
With four frosh, there needs to be some minutes in that direction. **
IB4TECH • 04/28/23 03:01 PM ET
I don’t see where the minutes come from
texashokie1 • 04/28/23 11:45 AM ET
Last season, Kitley avg 35 min, Amoore avg 37 min, King avg 31 min.
carhokies • 04/28/23 01:18 PM ET
I agree. If we want that title then load up.
HokieAl • 04/28/23 08:15 AM ET
11 is okay if you want a NCAAWBBT bid but probably will...
Old Line Hokie • 04/28/23 10:50 AM ET
I think the 11 he has can make the Elite 8
texashokie1 • 04/28/23 11:47 AM ET
I could be wrong
texashokie1 • 04/28/23 12:25 AM ET
Good points.**
