Agreed, great recruiter, been training under the best, going home to his alma mater. Sure, it's a risk but keeping Richt was a risk too. That team had drifted away from his leadership.
We all seem to be confident that this coach or that coach will succeed. But look around, successful coaches come from all types of backgrounds.

# | BUZZKETBALL CENTRAL: ACC/Big Ten Challenge Summary and ACC Recap Watching the NW game was frustrating, really looking forward to ACC season though to get a sense of how this team is progressing.
I guess the food I would like for thought, since you did take the time to breakdown these games, how do you see the ACC shaking out this season (GT a minor exception) after what you have seen in the ACC/B1G challenge? Hokies still on the bottom?
Thanks for the update.
Great to hear.
Thanks for the updates, with limited sports attention time, these nuggets are much appreciated.
Definitely agree on Clarke. 4 me the key is linear progression off-season. most coaches seem to focus on team needs during season. Not sure I agree that is the right thing to do especially for a young team like VT. Hopefully they show progress during the season, but a kid like clark having three big summers could get him into the NBA. His size is a little weird however, so he is going to have to develop skills that can be very different (SG, SF) at the next level.
Like the summaries. MD fan growing up ... wanted to throw up at the turnovers against hated UNC. Not sure Turgeon is as safe as he thinks. Hate seeing a really good team lose on turnover margin. He can't afford to have his team lose high profile games in that manner. You get beat, you not good enough, have a bad night with zebras, at the line, great. But turnovers? Drills, drills, drills.
VT recovered nicely. The Northwestern game looked like a lost cause. Really hoping Buzz can provide the stability these guys need to become a high growth team. Last couple of years have been so chaotic around VT hoops. Having some guys blow up will be really nice. A team blowing up even better.

# | Lady Hokies defeat Penn State, secures tie for ACC in challenge Glad to hear they are having some success, but I still think Whit needs to take a look at this program next.
I know it's Fuente'so team and his decision, but I definitely feel like Bud should be the AHC instead of Scott

# | BUZZKETBALL CENTRAL: ACC/Big Ten Challenge Summary and ACC Recap Well you have to keep in mind that Radford beat Georgetown in OT. They are a pesky bunch with experience on their side.

# | Loeffler's Adjustments Help Fuel a Victory in Beamer's Commonwealth Cup Swan Song For all the things that didn't go as well as hoped with Lefty, there are a couple of things that should be recognized. Ford has 10 TD, a new season record which has never been done before. Ford could get 1000 yards receiving, which we have never had. Brewer got better this year. We have continued the bowl streak, which has looked in serious doubt at times. We have a possible future stud at RB in McMillian. Our QB recruiting has improved and is the best it's been since Tyrod. We have TEs who catch passes (remember when that was the norm?).
Fuente and company are getting some good talent to work with on O thanks to Lefty and company. Everyone thought it would take at least 3 years for the O to get better, and it has. Maybe not to the level we all hoped, but Loeffler definitely left the team in a better place than when he got here. For that, I tip my cap to Coach and say thank you.

# | Can We Talk About How Good Our New Special Teams Coach, James Shibest, Is Going To Be? 
To be fair so are we
They're going out on a limb. Why fire a proven winner to hire a coordinator? They could have hired any number of proven coaches. He will be gone in 5 years max.

Yea, how would you like to work for the Cavaliers?
