# | BUZZKETBALL CENTRAL: Clemson Tigers (14-8, 7-3) at Virginia Tech Hokies (12-11, 4-6) 4 PM Regional Sports Network Has there been an update on Clarke lately? I thought the initial release mentioned he was out 'indefinitely' which I assumed would be the entire season.
EDIT: Out of curiosity I went backed and looked at the initial news release and it did mention he was 'out indefinitely.'' However the injury did occur prior to the WVU game (Dec 30). The Miami game at the end of the season (prior to ACCT) would be 9 weeks which I would think is within the recovery timeline.
But, there is also an opportunity to redshirt Clarke if the Hokies play in at least 3 postseason games. We are guaranteed 1 with the ACCT and could be planning on playing postseason (CBI or Vegas) just to keep his eligibility. I wonder if that changes things on whether to bring him back.

Whit - January 2014

Collectively they have just a few years of experience at VT and the changes that have already been made are monumental. Our University is in extremely good hands.
Also, I'd pay a lot of money to have a beer with those four guys.

# | Buzz Williams is Appreciative of the Hokies Who Have Shown up to The Cassell We could not have hired a better guy to rebuild a program.
The freshmen students that are experiencing VT basketball for the first time have no idea that Cassell was empty for the past __ seasons. This is their norm. We can only go up from here.

# | Buzz Williams is Appreciative of the Hokies Who Have Shown up to The Cassell I'm sure the football visitors enjoyed the heck out of that. So proud of this athletic department across the board , and the 2 new coaches who have given us reason for optimism going forward. We are lucky to have them and Whit.
Honestly. I heard him talk. It was some radio show. I can't remember what it was. But I was blown away. He was talking about how great Beamer was and what he would tell kids in the locker room before the UNC game and I think he said two sentences and I, driving in my car would have stormed Normandy. I don't remember exactly what it was but the whole segment I came out thinking he's going to be a really solid coach and a guy kids would love playing for.
That was my senior year, crazy crazy times. Went too every game, Sugar Bowl included. Man... I.miss that shit

# | Buzz Williams is Appreciative of the Hokies Who Have Shown up to The Cassell And I am appreciative of Buzz and his team. While I've only trekked back to the burg for about 4 games over the last two years (the upcoming Pitt game will be 5, weather and work permitting) it's been really cool to see the ground floor of something that's turning into a special team.
I think it's a question of focus rather than "soft ". New staff is conditioning for endurance, given the change to the spread and how many of our opponents run it as well. Previous staff seemed to condition for strength and initial burst. One reason you're hearing more about running, too.

# | Buzz Williams is Appreciative of the Hokies Who Have Shown up to The Cassell Thats freaking awesome!
I saw that too. Hilarious
First time I have been back in Cassell since senior year/2007. Student section was awesome today. Great atmosphere and huge win. Hoping to get back for more BBall games soon
Shutting down his recruitment. That sends a statement to everybody else as well, he's not waiting for something better, because there isn't.

I think the new staff ramping up conditioning for the up tempo style has somehow been turned into the old s&c staff was a joke. There may have been some outdated philosophies being used, but I really doubt that the difference is monumental.
UNC had a lot more things to "offer" their recruits. And a non-existent class load was only one of the things.
I stand corrected. 15
I find it hard to believe players were allowed to skip, miss, or not have to complete their entire workout under the previous staff. At a power 5 D1 college I just do not believe that, especially given the fact that Beamer always seemed to do things the right way.
I think that idea is that our S&C was softer might be a bit overblown.

I'm going to view it as a workout plan that went stagnant (or the players adjusted to). I do not know how customized the program was for the individuals before but I am excited about the new S&C coach. I believe I read in an interview that he plans to customize plans to the individuals where necessary.
Also a lot of this is on our players. They have nutritionists to help provide healthy snacks and meals for the players. They teach the players what they should eat.* Yet we celebrate the fact that Teller's idea of sports nutrition is Taco Bell.** The players can workout all they want but without proper nutrition they won't see the full results of their training.
*I learned this first hand from Cols Colas while he was yelling at me in line at Deitrick to "taste the chicken!" because he wanted to know if he should choose it as his protein for lunch. He showed me that everything in Deitrick had a color next to the name, which made it easy for the players to select foods on the nutrition plan.
**I acknowledge that everyone has a vice or needs to cheat every once in a while. I still remember standing behind MV7 in Kroger around midnight while he bought whole milk and Ho Hos.
