Hokie injury bug strikes again...Sears out for season...
Sounds like maybe something that's been lingering, but who knows... Bet it's a 5th metatarsal....

Odds are, given the depth at guard, her playing time would have be limited
especially during ACC play. She is a scorer, but with Wenzel, Nelson, Daley, Suffren, Wells, and Swanson all playing at the 1-2-and even spots... then when you have Baker really playing more of the 3 or 4, you have 6 guards rotating through 2-3 spots/

Coach Duffy said Kate has a foot injury that will require surgery

At least they've got like 13 players this year...
including a couple seniors. VT always seems to be playing 7-8 for some reason or another, both men's and women's team.

Coach Duffy wants to play a fast paced game so will need more than 7-8

Add that to all the other things she was talking about, the system she...
DIDN'T want to run last year but had to with someone running off with a couple VT players and players hurt or out. So yeah, we haven't really seen a real Duffy style team this yet but should this year., Imagining something like Kim Caldwell at TN but maybe not that extreme. Even if you didn't want to place "fast-paced" it would seem to me you'd be more comfortable w/8-9 trusted players.

And we had years where players quit before the first game

if you're insinuating that Kate quit,you don't know Kate Sears

I wasn't inferring that at all. I understand that she didn't quit
but is injured. I was referring to the Brooks era, where some of his recruits quit the team before the 1st game, leaving VT shorthanded for the season.

After the early, easier schedule, she likely would not have played much

Hopefully nothing too serious. That's a tough way to start a college career

With the backcourt depth, I would have seen a redshirt as a possibility

Yes, odds are, she would not have played much especially in the ACC
