He doesn't have to get taller, or quicker, or become a better shooter, or even a better ball handler to succeed on the court. If he eats right, works out, and keeps his head on straight...all things within his control...he can be a very, very good college player. Whatever color chip that is, I'll take it every time.
While I trust Buzz's eye for talent and think Alexander-Walker will be a really good player, it's not like being a top 100 guy means you're destined for stardom.
There's lots of guys in the top 100 who don't pan out to be the players a fanbase thought they might be upon signing - for example, VCU just announced that Michael Gilmore was transferring. He was a top 100 recruit too, but he struggled to stay in the rotation at VCU and now he's heading elsewhere to find more playing time.

# | Blue-Chip Guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker Commits To Virginia Tech Are we seriously picking nits on whether or not this kid is a good or great get?
This is why we can't have nice things
This is the kind of player who turns a good program into a great one. This is the kind of player who raises the floor because if you can keep bringing them in like Buzz is doing, they will be very good by the time they are juniors and seniors making for a team deep in talent that can come at you in waves. They are the kind of long term blue chippers Buzz has been stockpiling since he got here. Once these kids start rolling into upperclassmen age look out.

Well we don't need to steal any uniforms from them
Always appreciated the irony that the huskiest member of nsync had a last name of 'Fat One'
fwiw rivals said in their next ranking updates he'll be up near if not in the top 50. apparently has been great on the national circuit recently.

While I agree with this I can also see why he left. Beamer's job was on the hot seat and there is never a guarantee for any coach to stay on. Having said that his current HC's job is also on the hot seat.
Not the Gwaltney or Smithfield kind.
some may view puns on TKP as a burden, while others see it as tradition. Personally, I feel that there are literally thouzohns of puns ready to be made.
Ahhh! A witch!
I'm not a witch, I'm your wife!
?? That makes it right? That says a lot about the coach. Not all coaches do it, it hasnt happened here in a long time. This doesnt happen to players like the one in this situation anyway and when it does happen a lot of times there's reasons for it other than someone's play.
Dan Issel and Artis Gilmore!

Waiting for my KPC package to arrive reminds me of this:
Aw man, it hasn't arrived yet.

# | Blue-Chip Guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker Commits To Virginia Tech Blue chip? This is what it feels like? Again I take issue with this thinking in relation to bball recruiting. Blue chip usually means one and done and outside of blue blood programs it usually doesn't really equal championships or even success (see LSU). And this guy isn't a blue chip at least to my understanding of "blue chip". He's 4 star ranked around 75 overall, 1 nationally in Canada. That's a lower ranking than Clarke and Hill, it's more around Bibbs ranking. He could rise but not to top 25. This is a great recruit and a great job by Buzz and Co. that continues our level of recruiting success.
Have you watched the Wizards play the past few years? They are supposed to be winning. Expecting them to be bad was back in the era of Javale McGee, Nick Young, and Andray Blatche. Even this year they were supposed to do amazing. But of course, with DC sports, they choked losing with one of their best lineups and John Wall's best year so far.
Don't you mean "in Mulberry"?

Sounds awesome! I'm always interested in learning and catching more species on the fly. So much fun.
I'm not looking for NCAA sanctions but why hasn't the DOJ or US Attorney not investigated the school, people involved, local PD, local DA office.
