after her video was taken down and it seemed she would not don the O&M, I posted:
“say it ain't so. let her bring a "Sunshine Rabbit" along to the VT O&M stop
.
if nothing else David Wilson can come back and run her down for halftime”
I am so happy she has “returned”. she will be a BIG difference maker - especially if we can retain her for all 3 years.
let’s go!

were also recruiting her?

In the article you linked, the age-based rules don't kick in as mandatory until next year. Her category should be:
Prospects who initially enroll full time at any college or university during 2026-27.
Either the previous rules OR the new age-based model, whichever is most beneficial to the student-athlete.
I think this means she can get four years under the old rules, unless there was already something in place in those rules that limited her eligibility.

My best guess, though, is she’d still get 3 years — just like Izoje did, who came over at 21. Even if the new rules don’t apply, the NCA would probably still limit her to three years based on her age/experience. It did the same thing with Antonio Dorn.
We’ll see. Thanks for pointing it out.

So could still be right on total eligibility.
The age limitation came up with wrestling super-recruit Bo Bassett, who is older than the average HS student. My understanding is that he's getting five years of eligibility because he's coming this year but might have only gotten four if the age limitation wasn't deferred until 2027.

Has anyone thrown out expected starting lineups yet?
Suffren
Wenzel
Wells
Latham
Dimaro
Or go big with Trent for Latham or Hurst for Wells. Hard not to be excited for top 50 players who put up 16 & 9 against ranked SEC opponents and played 10min/game as a freshman. Look at Strack or Silva's freshman numbers. It's certainly plausible that Hurst could make same jump with double the minutes. I like finally having a high % shooter coming in and not just a volume shooter like Wenzel and Amoore.

Suffren
Wenzel
Hurst
Latham
Dimaro
Sears, Anderson, Trent, Wells getting ok minutes!
Jenkins is a ????
Goff, Harris and Baldasarree I just think need time.
A good solid nine rotation.
Depth is there people
Carleigh backed by Kaleo
Suffren by Sears
Hurst by Wells or possibly vice versa
Latham getting spelled by Trent or Jenkins or Hurst
Dimoro by Trent or Latham
So many combinations imho !
More pressure D I can see.
More athleticism.
More scorers.
Getting Dimaro could be missing piece for something very fun! Time will tell!

Definitely not starting Latham or Trent at the 3. Would limit the offense. Hurst likely starts there imo. And bring Wells off the bench

I don't know that CMD has history of playing with that size but she likely won't be able to keep those 3 off the court together.

and what I've seen, she should be a starter immediately and help VT be a top ACC team.
