Boo hoo hoo. Coach Duffy hasn’t got us the next Kitley. Woman can’t coach

Why post? **

Yes, why? **

MrFantastic! • 05/05/26 01:03 PM ET
Trent will be "huge hope for next year"?
VAHokie89 • 05/06/26 02:56 PM ET
I'll take a PG who can either defend OR score. It doesn't have to be both.
King of Hokies • 05/06/26 10:32 PM ET
Point guard is a must. **
Stork • 05/06/26 03:55 PM ET

Good player in time. anything more then great. **
MrFantastic! • 05/05/26 02:57 PM ET
Thank you, recall the expectations and failure of NEO. Give Sears a chance! **

MrFantastic! • 05/05/26 01:31 PM ET
Can Coach Duffy recruit the bigs needed to get to the top of the ACC? **
HokieJack • 05/04/26 08:02 PM ET
I feel like she priortize speed/athletism over height.
RandomAsianGuy • 05/05/26 06:38 PM ET
We don't know what she prioritized. Not getting a bigger time big does
VAHokie89 • 05/06/26 02:57 PM ET
Clearly it was my speculations based on the observation of the last two
RandomAsianGuy • 05/06/26 06:38 PM ET
Only 1% of American women are 6 FT, tall ,taller than that is rare **
mrknowitall • 05/06/26 03:28 PM ET
Hokie Jack, I support your notion, won't be top of ACC without a good big **
George Baylor • 05/05/26 07:27 AM ET
We don’t need no stinking bigs ….! **
DGHOKIE • 05/05/26 05:09 AM ET
Two different off seasons and same results…to this point

Positive note

Here is my take on some of that
VAHokie89 • 05/07/26 07:53 PM ET
I like the way you think,this lineup may surprise us **
mrknowitall • 05/05/26 12:08 PM ET
Help her with NIL. OTherwise expect be solid but not great. **
MrFantastic! • 05/05/26 07:14 AM ET
Not sure “crowd funding” NIL really makes a meaningful difference
1977hokie • 05/05/26 07:28 AM ET
It all matters
texashokie1 • 05/05/26 06:53 PM ET
OK, Coach Duffy, please surprise us:
George Baylor • 05/04/26 04:26 PM ET
If getting an ace center was that easy, everyone would get one. **

Can you name an ace center that is in the portal? **

In this Day & Time..They don't have to be in the Portal
JRHokie • 05/05/26 06:06 AM ET

Money has to come from fans **
texashokie1 • 05/03/26 08:26 PM ET
It will be up to fans more than the next AD. Every sport wants more and
HboroughHokie • 05/03/26 03:28 PM ET
AD can greatly influence fund raising from fans
BAMAHOKIE • 05/04/26 03:42 PM ET
Exactly. **
j9hokie • 05/04/26 06:39 PM ET
Charging for attendance does not raise NIL $$$. **

No charge for softball - this has been an ongoing discussion for quite
RJHokie • 05/04/26 03:53 PM ET
VT probably should charge admission of some kind for all sports. **
VTHokie2000 • 05/04/26 03:58 PM ET
paying to watch middle school sports,surely you could charge for college **
mrknowitall • 05/04/26 08:38 PM ET
it would likely be counterproductive
Vippie1 • 05/04/26 05:23 PM ET
Which is what UVA decided for this year.
TheFacts • 05/04/26 08:25 PM ET
If VT wants to be a P2 school, then it may need to start following a P2
VTHokie2000 • 05/04/26 07:17 PM ET
I’m sure the new AD will probably consider this.

There may be sports (i.e. cross country, golf, tennis, etc.) where either
VTHokie2000 • 05/04/26 04:06 PM ET
Yeah, there are some where it’s probably not feasible at all. **
RJHokie • 05/04/26 04:09 PM ET
Even if VT doesn't charge admission for those teams, it may be worthwhile
VTHokie2000 • 05/04/26 04:23 PM ET

Is it true that softball actually receives more donations than women's bb?
hokie77 • 05/03/26 03:48 PM ET
Actual NIL for softball is $0.00 according to the coach. That’s not
vatechcowpatty • 05/04/26 02:51 PM ET
No, that is not true... Women's basketball had almost $533K (for FY25)
VTScoop • 05/04/26 02:46 PM ET
They should publicize those groups more widely **
UpperQuad • 05/04/26 04:33 PM ET
Thanks for the info. Didn't know about Front Court or Center Court groups.

Wish we could find a Chip for basketball, especially for raising NIL level. **
hokie77 • 05/04/26 10:03 PM ET
The basketball Chips were shut down
I love VT! • 05/06/26 12:31 PM ET

TomTurkey • 05/05/26 02:03 PM ET
Softball has a group of fans who raise $$ outside of Hokie Club
UpperQuad • 05/03/26 06:37 PM ET
Poppin' It! - Read about it in the sticky on The Softball Board
TomTurkey • 05/03/26 07:44 PM ET
WBB used to have a group that did that - it was the Hardwood Club……
RJHokie • 05/03/26 07:18 PM ET
Chip is smart. Our checks get in Pete's hands via Chip.
TomTurkey • 05/03/26 07:48 PM ET
Yeah, I’m always suspicious of anyone who has a general fund…
`lag • 05/04/26 08:09 AM ET
Yep.

I have read on here that WBB funding was in the top third of the ACC. Not

Budget (includes revenue sharing?) - NIL, another matter **
TomTurkey • 05/04/26 10:23 AM ET
It's my understanding WBB funding is in the top third. However, ...
Atlee Hokie • 05/03/26 07:42 PM ET

She was on Florida had 5pts, 6reb and 4 TOs against us **

I hate to be that guy
gcdevilhokie • 04/29/26 09:47 AM ET
I would rather make sure we get the right peope among 1000 entries
VAHokie89 • 04/29/26 12:57 PM ET
I think we get a 3. A 4/5 and call it a day.
MrFantastic! • 04/29/26 01:54 PM ET
Well I guess I'm guilty of reading too much into @Popsof1s posts.
JHokieD • 04/29/26 12:30 PM ET
Bet he thought St Rose was get since she visited and vusit went well.
j9hokie • 04/29/26 02:52 PM ET
Never said she was a get
Popsof1 • 04/29/26 05:40 PM ET
I said I guessed maybe you *thought* she was a get. I know you would never

Enjoyed Carleigh on Liz's podcast. **

I'm sure a lot of us were, still time though, I don't draw conclusions on

I know I love this staff. **

He said patience also. **

Being a developmental program based on high school recruits is such a

Baker is decent get for them
MrFantastic! • 04/29/26 12:25 PM ET
Plus I guess Baker now has 2 more years remaining if the 5 yr rule passes. **
j9hokie • 04/29/26 02:53 PM ET
Hurst 4 yrs. Latham 2? **
MrFantastic! • 04/29/26 03:05 PM ET
If NCAA could somehow limit transfers or go back to sit out a season,
j9hokie • 04/29/26 10:18 AM ET
Your last sentence is an excellent point that bugs me a bit **
1977hokie • 04/29/26 12:02 PM ET
Transfers without penalty (no sitting out) should only be allowed after
HokieBrazil • 04/29/26 10:56 AM ET
Retaining HS players is ideal
LkRidgeHokie • 04/29/26 10:05 AM ET
I do not see VT having enough coin to play portal ball
MrFantastic! • 04/29/26 10:10 AM ET
So if the 5 year eligibility thing passes does Freelon come back? **
HokieBrazil • 04/28/26 08:25 AM ET
no, but Georgia and Liz would be nice portal re-additions. **
HtownHokie • 04/28/26 03:50 PM ET
It won't be retroactive. Players already out of eligibility are done **
hokeyhokie • 04/28/26 09:27 AM ET
Sounds like a lawsuit. **
vthhhi • 04/28/26 01:27 PM ET
till the lawsuits wind their way through the courts. **
UTPr0sim • 04/28/26 12:23 PM ET
They’ll be 30 year olds coming back to play that one year. **
Stork • 04/28/26 02:37 PM ET
I assume we have room given the 4 (?) outbound kids...

Sophie Swanson to Dayton. Wishing her the best! **
dubnic2roxy1 • 04/27/26 05:05 PM ET
I bet she does great there! **
j9hokie • 04/27/26 05:18 PM ET
Hope so too. Right now they are heavy at the forward
VAHokie89 • 04/27/26 06:10 PM ET
More than anything, she needs good health and a fresh start,
1977hokie • 04/27/26 09:06 PM ET
Based on what I saw can’t draw any conclusions **
texashokie1 • 04/27/26 07:16 PM ET
Truth . Just going by her film from purdue **
VAHokie89 • 04/27/26 09:54 PM ET
anyone know when the portal closes? **
orangeturkey • 04/27/26 11:38 AM ET
THe portal closed. people can join other teams anytime essentialy **
VAHokie89 • 04/27/26 03:15 PM ET
It closed a week ago
CarolinaHokieFan • 04/27/26 01:35 PM ET
Raegan McCowan, Riley Makalusky, or Kaelyn Carroll-good pickups? **
Arizona1993 • 04/27/26 01:51 PM ET
I thought we had a shot at Carroll out of HS
LkRidgeHokie • 04/27/26 03:36 PM ET
have they visited or are you just throwing names out **
MrFantastic! • 04/27/26 02:17 PM ET
Sounds like a wish list more than anything **
j9hokie • 04/27/26 05:19 PM ET
Just as an aside, Kayl and Mackie were at the softball game today...
`lag • 04/26/26 09:47 PM ET
Can't blame Kayl. She wants to play
MrFantastic! • 04/27/26 06:52 AM ET
I've always been a big fan of Ms Kayl...
`lag • 04/27/26 07:59 AM ET
All coaches push some out (just reality, not saying that was the case with
Hokie`79 • 04/27/26 01:29 PM ET
The thing about pushing out some, is that all teams will still
VAHokie89 • 04/28/26 11:14 AM ET
Yeah, the more I think about it the more meaningless it becomes...
`lag • 04/29/26 08:29 AM ET
she wants to play more. minutes not here. **
MrFantastic! • 04/27/26 01:31 PM ET
I'm led to believe there was conflict between Coach & Mackie
JHokieD • 04/27/26 07:13 AM ET
Playing PG for a former PG is tough **
HokieAllMyLife • 04/27/26 10:32 AM ET
Unless you're from San Antonio TX
TomTurkey • 04/27/26 06:06 PM ET
Why I think Sears may be perfect fit **
MrFantastic! • 04/27/26 11:07 AM ET
Sears is a tough hard nosed player like Duffy was in college
mrknowitall • 04/27/26 12:13 PM ET
kind of hoping the latter is the reason...
`lag • 04/27/26 08:04 AM ET
Same here. I liked her personality. Nice kid **
JHokieD • 04/27/26 12:27 PM ET
Could be true. That said her minutes were safe. **
MrFantastic! • 04/27/26 07:18 AM ET
Mackie's minutes were not safe. At all. **
King of Hokies • 04/27/26 01:03 PM ET
And also didn’t Poppie recruit her at least initially
hokiepro • 04/28/26 06:48 AM ET
Maybe. And maybe that matters. But as @VAHokie89 and I have pointed
King of Hokies • 04/28/26 11:06 AM ET
Not sure she’s going to a worse team…they made the tourney and have a top
hokiepro • 04/28/26 03:13 PM ET
Top 3 in MP, 5 of top 7 gone. 6 of top 7 in scoring gone.
King of Hokies • 04/28/26 11:05 PM ET
Barring portal entries, Clemson lost some key players **
VAHokie89 • 04/28/26 10:08 PM ET
Mackenzie was going to still likely start and play alot
VAHokie89 • 04/27/26 03:18 PM ET
The other alternative(s) on the team, are in order: Wells and then Sears.
King of Hokies • 04/27/26 03:52 PM ET
You actually don't know what evidence I have
VAHokie89 • 04/27/26 04:40 PM ET
Right. In order for VT to reach a higher level, we needed someone much
King of Hokies • 04/27/26 06:42 PM ET
Mind set/ ability to play defense ?? Are you kidding me ? Took more charges
uber hokie • 04/28/26 10:34 PM ET
Drawing 1-2 charges a game is not in and of itself an indicator of defense
VAHokie89 • 04/29/26 12:53 PM ET
She could penetrate but could not finish **
uber hokie • 04/29/26 10:57 PM ET
😐 **
HokieNL • 04/29/26 11:05 PM ET
Even when open from outside she didn't have the confidence to shoot **
mrknowitall • 04/29/26 06:15 PM ET
She could not guard opposing PGs. I don't know how else to say it. Taking
King of Hokies • 04/28/26 10:53 PM ET
Taking charges is like blocking a shot, or for men a nasty dunk. It fires
uber hokie • 04/29/26 11:08 PM ET
But she can't guard other PGs! And she's not a threat to
King of Hokies • 04/30/26 05:59 AM ET
You are right - you cant help me. **
uber hokie • 05/01/26 12:22 PM ET
There are some kinds of "help," we don't need 😊 **
HokieNL • 05/01/26 12:33 PM ET
Who was taking? **
MrFantastic! • 04/27/26 01:05 PM ET
Whomever could be gotten in the portal who wasn't as limited. **
King of Hokies • 04/27/26 01:58 PM ET
Things that bother me over starters leaving..
MrFantastic! • 04/27/26 07:27 AM ET
That does not bother me as much
VAHokie89 • 04/27/26 03:24 PM ET
Yes and this upcoming season

Silence is deafening. **

Disappointed she left as well. Any chance she was gently "pushed"? **
KiloZulu • 04/26/26 11:01 AM ET
I think her D was liability
MrFantastic! • 04/27/26 07:43 AM ET
It was going to be in ACC play
VAHokie89 • 04/27/26 05:40 PM ET
I wonder. She barely played this year. **
