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.)

Foster lead off Home run. 1-0 hokies
2 time all American and 2025 national champion at NC State. Acts like a jackass. Glad I don't have to see him during the regular season again
I think the kid got exposed and is not the raw talent we all hoped and thought he was. Him as a draft lottery pick = total bust.
Who is V ROB ?
If you are doing Mt. Rushmore, definitely check out Crazy Horse as well.
I want this guy

Those 3 were the best players on the team last season imo
CMY and staff probably have narrowed their focus (NIL) on only keeping Ben Hammond, Armani Hansberry, and Tyler Johnson from this past year's team and try to build around them with new transfers. Others who have transferred out/landed in transfer portal were probably asking for too much than they were willing to pay for their services.
This is all IMO.
Tyler Johnson is returning to MBB
Where was that posted? Haven't seen any mention him being in the portal.
Spela Brecelj is in the portal
Have not seen any post from her
Get over to Hilo and eat at Ken's

# | CBB Portal Season - Hokies Outgoing and Incoming Transfers So we have a freshman big and a little used SF starters and the lone backup is a football player.
I liked the Black Hills area a lot. One of my favorite spots. You could spend a while there for SD if you like outdoor activities. Hiking, caving (well, I guess that is "indoors", so to speak) and Mount Rushmore. Was hard for me to find anything I wanted to go see in ND. Flew into Minneapolis/St. Paul a day early for one of my dogsled trips up in Ely, MN. Drove out to ND and just stayed at a hotel there 1 night instead of heading straight up to Boundary Waters Canoe Area for the dogsledding was how I got North Dakota checked off.
Alaska was an absolute blast. Was the first post-honeymoon family vacation my wife and I went on after we got married.
Coaches are not happy. They think the players are soft. I think the Coaches are bad. Could be a mix of both
Come on Ben Hammond...
Looking at ND, we could do a lot worse than grabbing Garrett Sundra (recruited by VT) and Cole Certa. Certa is a 6-5 MY prototype gunner and Sundra has the inside out versatility aka Keve Aluma and Grant Basile. Seems both would be affordable NIL
I'm not convinced we'll keep Hammond
