Few Observations on VT WBB and future

I followed VT WBB during the Bonnie years but then lost interest. I am back on the bandwagon. As everyone knows, the last couple years have been special. Allow me to make a few observations. 1. My only real criticism of Coach Brooks is the lack of depth. I don't think you can win in long term only playing 6 (or 7). 2. Excited by what I have read about Wenzel, and the incoming stud freshmen. Expect that there will be some real contributors next year and for future. 3. Sounds like we have done exceptionally well with the portal. Chemistry and fit are as important as talent. 4. It seems sky is the limit for Georgia. What an exceptional leader, person and player. 5. Fascinating how quickly the national tide shifts. During the year and tournament, everyone talked about USC-E and the new dynasty under Dawn Staley. Now LSU is the media darling with its coach and high profile portal adds. We have not heard a peep from USC. Through all this, I like where VT is sitting.
