Nice find. Too bad they won't get to play together.

Oh, here we go.
"It's TIIIIIIIIMMMMMMEEEEEE!!!!!!!!"
I'm grabbing the popcorn now.
The allegations against Waco and Baylor Police are going to bring a lot of scrutiny to the whole situation.
The ACC is the better basketball conference, no question. But Buzz (and Chew) have fought tooth and nail over the last two years to just reach the middle of the pack in the ACC. Chew walks into Texas A&M at the top of a Power 5 conference. There's something to be said for that.
This is true. However, though they might have been tied with Kentucky, they were no Kentucky.
Also, I think one can make the argument that the ACC is a better basketball conference.
Essentially, there are now at least seven more accounts of sexual assault allegations by football players in recent years that the coaches and school knew about and covered up.
Not good
thanks for the flowery language definition. Not surprising how people start reaching to the depths of their vocabulary in these situations.
You sir, are a paralegal or less. Neither party in this case has rights that MUST be protected.
Wow. Talk about a glass-half-empty kind of article.
VT outscored Memphis over the last 5 games, yet had significantly fewer points per drive. We had the same number of plays per game but Memphis had more plays per drive.
We had more 3-and-outs. Our defense was better than theirs. We got teams off the field and then promptly failed to move the ball. Memphis moved the ball but then their defense couldn't stop anyone

# | Buzzketball Loses a Coach, Gains a Recruit, Left With More Questions 28-9 last year, tied for first in the SEC with...Kentucky.
Agreed. The SEC is a much inferior basketball conference overall outside of Kentucky. If he wants a raise or just likes that part of the country I understand but to say it is a much better job is overstated. When has A&M really won anything meaningful
Well in 2005, I was in the second grade.
Holy crap I feel old.
Without knowing what "major legs" is, impossible to say with certainty. But since this is non-VT news, I say no need for a new thread. And since you've bumped this one with a tease anyway...
I've lived in Greenbrier County my whole life and can honestly say that the things they say about Pitt is way worse than the things they say about us.
Well in 2005, I was in the second grade. I didn't begin getting a whole lot of crap until the third grade. But one of my dad's roommates from college had a license plate stolen up there one time. While I couldn't afford to go really anywhere but in-state, I said from the start I would not go to that university.
This story picked up major legs recently. New thread material or keep this one going??

# | Virginia Tech Stressing Comfort for Fans, Athletes in Slew of Planned Facilities Upgrades Not to nit pick the article, but the ceiling fans pre-date Whit's tenure. They've been there since at least the 2012-13 season if not earlier.
F'ing beautiful! Sofa Barn will be running specials in the DC area that week.
I never said that...But, to counter, we're still not going to "luck into" any of Oak Hill's best players simply because they're playing a few hours away. We're not yet on the radar for the top guys there. Maybe soon, but not yet.
This started out as a geographical discussion, so I'll try to take it back there. The advantage of being around the WCAC hotbed for schools like Georgetown and Maryland is undeniable. Back when Georgetown was good in the late 2000's, their core back court of Chris Wright and Austin Freeman played at St. John's and Dematha respectively. Jason Clark played at O'Connell. Mark Turgeon is a regular at WCAC games during Maryland's own season. Then, just like that, Melo Trimble commits and Maryland is suddenly a top-10 team again. That's a massive advantage.
EDIT: When I said "Ditto for Oak Hill's top recruits", I meant they're rarely from Virginia.
This usually leads to more big time offers.
Exactly. When these 4 or 5-star kids get more big-time offers, they take them. That means we're not getting Oak Hill's best players. In turn, that means Oak Hill being some kind of geographic pipeline for highly-touted recruits is somewhat of a pipe dream (for now).

# | Buzzketball Loses a Coach, Gains a Recruit, Left With More Questions While this may be true, players also dont go to Oak Hill thinking "Man if only this will get me to Virginia Tech next year" for the most part. Oak Hill is regularly in the top five schools in the country, have at least a half dozen games nationally televised each year at a minimum. Buzz and company had to work their tails off to get Khadim Sy to commit to them this year and Khadim only managed to get about a quarters worth of playing time as a senior at Oak Hill this year. He still managed to average 9.8 PPG in 14 MPG of play. He is an exception though.
This years Oak Hill seniors
Harry Giles - Duke (Ranked 1st)
Joe Hampton - Penn State (Ranked 256th)
Mario Kegler - Mississippi State (Ranked 52nd)
Braxton Key - Alabama (Ranked 57th)
Rodney Miller - Miami (Ranked 153rd)
Khadim Sy - Virginia Tech (Ranked 250th)
Only shocker to me in there was Braxton Key going to Alabama when he had offers from Kansas and Texas.
Anybody know why he has to sit out a year due to the credits thing Zach mentioned?
