Because aww shucks this is the way we do things rather than hey, this program is kicking ass, let's dissect them and see what we aren't doing
He had a bit of a renaissance at Delaware. Averaged 16 points/game and shot over 40% from 3 on the season. I watched a lot of the CAA tournament. He was great along with the Pasha kid. Almost carried that team to a NCAA berth with that CAA tournament run as the 12 seed. I think he is streaky which we obviously saw at VT. But, definitely a shame we could not find a way to keep him around. I wonder if part of his play here was the continuing recovery from his injury.
If you saw where the Qi35 put him at Torrey Pines, he didn't have a choice. And you could see it on his face that he just was not happy with the Driver. When you crank out a new line of drivers every 9 months, with only cosmetic and a slight weight change, it's not enough to push these guys to jump on board fully and get what they need. There's a few guys on tour still with the G425 in the bag I believe.
Wowza! Shane Graham?
That's some seriously high praise.
Congrats, and Go Hokies!
I did end up betting on Rory later on, got better odds than he had at the start, too!
Fuente was a decent recruiter, he just couldn't hang on to the recruits. He drew a harder line than he could enforce, and left the program worse than he found it.
I question your assessment of "bottom three coaches in the last century" as the numbers used to arrive at that conclusion don't tell the whole story. Is it really fair to blame Pry for the shitshow Fuente left him? Not many coaches could have had a winning record in that first season.
If we're honest, I think we can say Pry is an improvement over Fuente, even if his record is worse, and even if he were to leave next year, his successor would be inheriting a better program that he received. On the other hand, if he can surprise us with an unexpected win or can continue to improve the program, then he moves up the list.
UNC Wonderful, Surfer U...yeah, not a bad choice.
Both he and Scheffler are gaming Qi10 right now...interesting
McIlroy used it at TPC as well.
TM probably beside themselves right now
A few other sites have suggested Izaiah Pasha, G, Delaware.
Hey he'll actually have a shot at playing in March Madness there
Good to know. Now the question is why does the dept always seem to be two steps behind the competition?
Seeing smoke we have another commit to mens team but no name yet
This week
#6 LSU got swept by #3 Texas A&M
#8 Florida lost to #19 Mississippi once
#11 South Carolina lost to #10 Arkansas twice
Will all get chalked up to "SEC is hard"
Whit spoke to talking to both of them in an article this year but just doesn't seem like it's generated anything as of now.
Based on Pry's contract if he was doing the right things he'd make more money.
Sure he can sell the program because he's great at PR, but he's a used car salesmen and he's not selling it to the most important people, the recruits. I don't see any building blocks. We haven't seen a lot of players development as transfers largely have led the way. Our high school recruiting isn't any better than most of Fuente's years. Our fund raising hasnt really changed in more than 15 years as donations have been between 24-26% of our revenue every year and os just scaling with everything else.
If Pry only wins 4 or 5 games and we actually do move on then what coach takes over for what would be one of the worst coaches in VT history and doesn't say burn it all down, we have to rebuild everything. Pry has to win like 9 games just to not be bottom 3 VT coaches in the last century.
Maybe I'm just blinded by the miami game cause he just looks like fluff.
I bet on Rory to win this thing on Dec 29. It was a Rollercoaster ride, but he finally did it. Beat the final boss, got the grand slam, and his green jacket.
Well that's good to hear! Having a reliable leg out to 45 yards is a blessing in college football.
Reading this and being reminded about Woolwine's role just makes me think Whit may be past his shelf life and struggling to keep up. We have Jeff King in the Bears front office and Neander with the Rays. Please tell me someone in the AD at least called them to get some idea of how to structure player management and who might be a good fit. Woolwine hasn't been excelling and it feels more like a hire of convenience than expertise.
been watching this kid. effortlessly hits 60 yarders. i know its difficult to have perspective wrt kickers, especially since the top kicker in a class may only be given an aggregate 2 star (i.e. what john love got).
he is at least as good as his brother (one of the all time great vt kickers). i am talking better than kinzer, better than jp romo, shayne graham territory.
imo one of the best recruits we have ever nailed
Yeah, wish there was a bit more drama and that the winner had a very meaningful moment.
🧹🧹🧹
Ladies win game 3 15-1
Win streak at 17
LGH
HOKIES Win! HOKIES Win!
FAM for the ladies! 17-game win streak!
That will be his 4th school. Seems like he plays fine against lower competition, but I don't expect much out him at Cal.
Delaware he was their #1 option so always had the ball
We were just prepping for the end of the season, in case both QB's go down again....
