# | Report: Police investigating Tech athletic department employee for embezzlement For anyone who wants to know, here's Kevin's HokieSports bio -

Just a personal comment - if he was actively engaged in embezzling from the Tech Athletic Department it seems odd that it wasn't discovered before now.
If he is indeed guilty of a crime I'm sure he will be dealt with appropriately by both Virginia Tech and law enforcement, if necessary, but how does he regain his reputation if it turns out he's not guilty?
Would add that Justin Bibbs is at Monteverde Fla, which is becoming an Oak Hill- something like 7 D-1 signees on this years team. So we got that going for us, which is nice. :-)

Joey Phillips would be so proud.
I believe that it is also zero coincidence that the b-day falls practically on St. Patty's Day, so...DRINK UP AND THROWBACK!
That would be awesome to have a functioning pangolin mascot costume that could curl up into a ball and roll over other mascots.

# | Report: Police investigating Tech athletic department employee for embezzlement Rule of thumb for bidness (learned the hard way): 'Where there is money, there is embezzlement.'
Why don't you believe VT could recruit the perimeter shooters?
Think the new coach needs to be able to recruit in the DC area but also North Carolina as well with the proximity, only 1 out of the top 5 in North Carolina ended up with a in-state ACC school. Definitely agree Oak Hill needs to become a huge priority with the proximity that VT has.
Lost count. Dunno. Definitely a higher number than there ever were at their spring games.
Yes, it is a Pangolin.
The fact that there is no Pangolin mascot in college football is criminal. UC Irvine came SO CLOSE GUYS.

I agree with a lot of what you say, but if you're setting your target for success at practically turning Oak Hill into a funnel for the VT basketball program the way we use Hargrave for football, then you're only setting yourself up for disappointment.
There are too many elite schools in this region annually dipping their hands in that well for us to expect to routinely get guys out of that program. We may get one kid every 5 years or so, but we're never going to have that school a pipeline for our basketball program.

"I do not have a coach in my hip pocket right now."
That's ADspeak for - "My search for a new bball coach is going full-bore, and was begun just about the same day I officially started work at Virginia Tech".
Not really. Oak Hill recruits kids as early as middle school to their program. When I was in high school as a freshmen, they came to Potomac to get two of our star players that were also freshmen. Almost every graduate of their program does however end up on a Division I scholarship somewhere.
I mean it's more complicated than just not having a football team. It's the differences in universities and cultures. We have the biggest alumni network in the state and as we all know, Tech fans are very vocal and supportive. VCU has always been an underdog in every aspect. They're finally on top with national recognition and in a major conference (if you don't consider the A-10 a power basketball conference you need to reevaluate your outlook, 6 tourney bids this year is no fluke). They have every right to be cocky, but our culture of being nice off the field and only punching your teeth in on the field/court and so their more aggressive city culture rubs us the wrong way, especially since most of us probably root for VCU in the tournament.
In general, aren't players going to Oak Hill already committed to a school?
Wait, what?
Cool.
I am of the opinion that when it comes to basketball that we probably need to consider VCU a major program now, along with the Atlantic 10 Conference. The A-10 put six teams into the NCAA tournament this year and I expect them to remain relatively competitive with that level barring significant changes in their current coaching slate. St Louis and VCU are both five seeds, UMass is a six seed, George Washington is a nine seed, St Josephs a ten seed, and Dayton is an eleven. St Louis and VCU have both been ranked almost all season in the top 25, GW, UMass and St Joe's have flirted with the rankings all season as well.
Compared to the ACC, who also has six teams, the SEC, three teams, PAC12, six teams, BIG10, six teams, Big 12, seven teams and Big East, four teams, American four teams, the Atlantic 10 has arrived. Are they the top conference in this discussion, no but I would argue that they are probably the fifth best conference this year.
If I were to rank them:
ACC (1 seed, (2) 3 seeds, 6 seed, 9 seed, 12 seed)
Big-12 (2 seed, 3 seed, 5 seed, 6 seed, 7 seed, (2) 9 seeds)
BIG10 ((2) 2 seeds, 4 seed, 6 seed, (2) 11 seeds)
PAC-12 (1 seed, 4 seed, 7 seed, 8 seed, (2) 10 seeds)
A-10 ((2) 5 seeds, 6 seed, 9 seed, 10 seed, 11 seed)
SEC
Big East
American
It still doesn't require their fans to have an attitude equivalent to LOLUVA fans lust for Zima but that's outside our control.
he is, it explains a lot
I may have changed my mind, Ken Bone just got fired from Washington State. He has the best porn name in all of college basketball.
