Kenny Brooks losing another 6'5 center because he refused to play her. Lost Clara Silva last year for same thing. Silva jumped to TCU and averaged 9 ppg, 7.4 rpg, 1.8 bpg and 1.3 apg. Shot nearly 60% from the floor.
I think it's less about Ballien and more about the changing landscape of the sport. The schools leadership has admitted they don't know how to operate in this era.
Thought Mazzarone throwing 120+ pitches was high.
Last night Houston and Baylor played. Baylor starting pitcher finished with 250 pitches, only to lose 3-2 in the 15th inning. Houston pitcher only went 12 2/3 with 185 pitches. 479 total pitches in the game.
okSt is a good one
I think the likelihood is a lot greater than zero. I'd keep an eye on FSU.
Ehhh, Im pretty sure 99% of drivers got to the 2nd layer of defense and needed the rim protector to help... Which is a free layup with her at the 5
Supposedly there is another 6-6 player entering the portal that has a high 6-7 figure offer. Cant imagine what Audi will command if that's the case.
A Big Ten coach told me today: "If you're under $12 million in NIL, you're in trouble." https://t.co/wZN1YiOKtG— Joe Tipton (@JoeTipton) April 2, 2026
The number keeps climbing and ours keeps declining....another example of even if Young was a great coach, that doesnt trump NIL divide in most cases
Also....$12M across 15 guys and most of it going to top 6 guys....thats better than NBA paychecks for half the games.
Oklahoma State and LSU.
Eric Morris brought almost all his best players with from North Texas and Big 12 is poo poo soft next year.
LSU has now put about $47M out in NIL to let Kiffin build a roster
It's kinda wild how much power we've given to James Franklin. He's going to basically do whatever he wants.
I think this is a reflection of how Ballien & Co. really bungled the Fuente / Pry eras and (finally) admitting that a Beamer-style redux isn't a viable path in the new era of college football.

# | CBB Portal Season - Hokies Outgoing and Incoming Transfers I will say this though...we play very good supporting defensive basketball. She might not be such a liability here.
Though I don't think we'll have the NIL money to get her.
Yeah once teams realized you just had to go at her when she had no help, it was practically a free basket every time.
Having watched aome of her defense clips... Woof.. they are playing 4v5

She gon get paid.
Although I wouldn't put the chances at zero, I'd say the probability of him going back to Penn State and/or leaving after Year 1 is practically nil. Will Wade is a scumbag and everyone knows it.
It came on April 2, but got an unsolicited e-mail from the G-mail address of a beautiful Indian woman quoting my LinkedIn profile and offering me a $700K-$900K VP role. Does that qualify as an April Fools' note :-)?
The entire '25 VT Football Season felt like an April Fool's joke, sadly.
But lots of hope on the horizon.
It's the best beer on the market and I have had Budweiser running through my veins since age 4. As my buddy and Hokie friend said about me a few weeks ago... "I wanna go back to his house. He has a fire pit and 500 Modelos." Probably the greatest compliment I've ever received.
Have you had a Model Zero Especiale?
I thought that name sounded familiar.
Ooohhhhh! That's painful......
Hide the Pain Harold is a retired electrical engineer
One thing that came up today that I wasnt tracking is Emma Lemley is on Tech's staff in some capacity. She isnt listed on HokieSports.com so guessing its a graduate assistant role similar to Kitley with women's basketball
VT. Taking the under.
Thinking I can bet the house on this one, but I never bet more than a nickel. No jackpot for me.
