I’m all for the portal, but…

As much as I hate it, it’s the way of life now in college sports. Those players don’t owe us anything. Let them follow their path. That said, I live in Raleigh (like several regulars here). Russell Wilson was a god in this town until he transferred to Wisconsin for his final season. His legacy here was trashed and he’s never been forgiven. I mean they really hate him. Times change. People are more understanding of transfers now. My question is this: do you think people will be more understanding if Georgia follows Kenny, or if she were to go somewhere with a legit shot to win a national championship? For me, I would much rather see her go somewhere with a shot to win the ‘ship. Something about following KB with the way he left would tarnish her legacy so much more, IMO.

The talking point used to be get degree and do what you want after. Not so

Georgia has left her mark at Virginia Tech...
Hokies83 • 04/04/24 12:15 PM ET
Once you leave you’re out, it’s an entirely transactional relationship

I do see a bit of a difference RE Amoore. She used 4 years of eligibility
VTCALS72 • 04/04/24 12:41 PM ET
Been thinking about Wilson. Heard later he was to sit for Glennon
Va AandM • 04/04/24 11:20 AM ET
Nope O’Brien gave Russell an ultimatum

Regarding the portal, I think it sucks. The one thing that I am all for is
UEMcGill • 04/04/24 10:51 AM ET
Past, current and future....KB was the initial reason GA came to Blacksburg
VT757to276 • 04/04/24 10:09 AM ET
I don't remember her having a lot of top level offers**
thunar • 04/04/24 10:43 AM ET
Received total 2 offers. Kenny accidentally discovered her in Europe when

Best of luck to Georgia but NO on having her jersey hung. She left to
GloucesterHokie • 04/04/24 10:07 AM ET
It’s obvious Brooks and Amoore have a bond
Hokie1992 • 04/04/24 09:37 AM ET
Amoore's legacy won't be tarnished. She played all 4 years and ready
carhokies • 04/04/24 09:31 AM ET
Asterick with Wildcat included but she was a good one**
MrFantastic! • 04/04/24 10:07 AM ET
Jersey will NOT be hung. All the other stuff u wrote agree with.
PennaHokie • 04/04/24 09:37 AM ET
Can you give one good reason why her jersey would not be hung? Requirememt
carhokies • 04/04/24 09:48 AM ET
What if she leads Kentucky to a national championship and they retire
wwhokie1 • 04/04/24 12:47 PM ET
You are remembered for where you finish. **
HokieAllMyLife • 04/04/24 11:01 AM ET
She may not be eligible to receive the honor based on VT's requirements.
VTHokie2000 • 04/04/24 10:13 AM ET
Check the requirements for having jersey hung. As I understand it, Liz
DGHOKIE • 04/04/24 10:05 AM ET
That’s an entirely different discussion **
WestEndHokie39 • 04/04/24 12:21 PM ET
Have you ever been honored by a prior employer after leaving to a competito
stat_hokie • 04/04/24 10:00 AM ET
I looked this up…both Brett Favre and Mike Holmgren are in the Packers
WestEndHokie39 • 04/04/24 12:28 PM ET
GA checks the boxes for me
Gobbler Town • 04/04/24 09:56 AM ET
Not that she should care. Just my opinion. **
gboone30 • 04/04/24 09:22 AM ET
I think she would have had her jersey retired...not sure that matters to
