Trailing 10-4

#12 in ESPN.com/USA Softball
#12 in D1 Softball
And here comes the dreadful pitching
Weird news from softball. I guess the NCAA denied Bre Warren from playing this season but odd timing to file this so late in the season. She is suing to play this year.
#Hokies softball outfielder Bre Warren has filed a motion for a preliminary injunction against the NCAA in Montgomery County Circuit Court in pursuit of playing this season.The transfer from Texas A&M and South Carolina has not played this season.https://t.co/hLcXrLZZFI— Damien Sordelett (@DamienSordelett) April 6, 2026
Thought we might see some of the bench players get a little run but guess not

This version is really odd. Shows alot of names from prior years and names I have never heard of.
The offensive acumen of your average NBA player today is way more advanced than what we saw in previous eras. Centers and power forwards did not dribble the ball up the floor full court, that was basically a cardinal sin. Now it's not only normal, for some teams it's to their advantage.
Magic Johnson was such an exception in the 1980's right, a 1 of 1. And I don't want to take away from that, I agree with everyone he's an all time great. But every average and above team has a "Magic Johnson" now...Jokic, Wemby, Draymond, KAT, Lebron, Giannis, Durant, Kawhi, oh and they ALL are better shooters than magic...
I spend so much time explaining this to people in my basketball circles. The worst starter on an NBA team was very likely an all conference player for his college. High school and to some degree lower tier colleges, can get away with flat out leaving 1-2 players open outside the 3 point line, in some cases even outside 15-18 feet, which allows the help defense to play way more into the paint area (on top of not having defensive 3 seconds in college/high school).
Rajan Rondo, known for being a not that good of an NBA shooter, shot 30% from 3 in college at UK. Jimmy Butler, known in the NBA as a midrange assassin, shot 38% from three in college.
The gap between High school and college is the grand canyon. The gap between college and the NBA is 1 Astronomical unit (the average distance between the sun and earth). Playing defense against 5 legitimate scorers/shooters is borderline impossible.
I loved what I saw from Sincere Jones, adding to the front court mix.
I thought he was a 6-7 200 three, but the dude apparently worked his ass off cause he is a stud now- explosive and thick lower body pushing 230.
No one is Toby, but watching Sincere from the 4th row where I was for UVa, he has legit hops. His stroke is really good and I'll go on a limb and predict him in the low 30's from 3 with the body type to bang down low and guard a 4.
Sure hope he stays.
7-1 Going to the 6th
I'm not convinced we'll keep Hammond
Hokies up 3-1 Botton 1st
Tough to diagnose nowadays. Pre-NIL I would say it's the coaches' job to toughen the players up. Now I expect more out of the kids since a lot of them are technically pros. Not sure how our baseball NIL is though
Opinion is close to reality. The budget the team should have had isn't going to be there so they've been forced to pick and choose more than they anticipated. They've poured what resources they do have in retaining Hammond, Hansberry, and Johnson. So far they've got 2 out of 3, and it looks like Hammond will be staying barring a godfather offer coming in. But they're having to let others go because they can't pay them market price. Funds shifted to retaining those 3, a little extra to get a decent center, and then moneyball literally everything else.
Those three aren't a bad core to build around (if Hansberry fully recovers...),but this situation also isn't ideal nor what was expected. You're basically hoping to hit on literally every moneyball player to just get back to the bubble level the 2025/2026 team was at. Possible, but its a very narrow path
6-1 hokies going to the bottom of the 4th
I use the Verbal Commits portal tracker. He was on there this morning
Yeah, it's not like they're stuck in 1999 and still living that glory!
(I kid because I love.)
