I have talked with a previous coach of TJ's and his thoughts

echoed what you wrote about self discipline and outlined he'd be a challenge to coach in college due to that. Very high ceiling if he can overcome those items but those are tough to overcome.

HokieToph • 08/08/25 09:57 AM ET
?? is it harder for him to get into NCST than it was VT? TIA**

No. But transferring vs staying is more difficult if your academic standing
HokieToph • 08/10/25 11:18 AM ET
If he did make it to NC State, high % that he was going to be ineligible
AirborneHokie96 • 08/10/25 02:33 PM ET

I get that he did not make it to the NCAAs but .....
AirborneHokie96 • 08/10/25 02:27 PM ET
Sure. I’m not judging him at all as to why or how the “hole”got there
HokieToph • 08/10/25 11:26 AM ET
It's not happening at VT **
donjfs3 • 08/10/25 12:07 PM ET
I agree. I would be fine if it did, however**
HokieToph • 08/10/25 01:48 PM ET

TartanHokie • 08/07/25 10:07 PM ET
Doubtful, programs like that will jump at an opportunity to bring on talent
