This article and the AU people commenting on it sound SO butthurt. Seems like a sad attempt to keep up with Bama in recruiting. I don't really understand why anyone acknowledges (or put so much emphasis on) pre-1960's championships in most sports anyway (looking at you Yankees fans).
why does everyone keep thinking Harrison is going to FSU? am I missing something he's commited to us and the only 3 of real importance are Harrison, Nnadi, and Mckenzie, and obviously if we could somehow get D'shawn Hand which is almost totally impossible
its pizza?...
unless im missing internet sarcastica here
We finished the regular season in 2007 #1 in the computers
Thats at least 1 banner
We get them all.
More McKenzies than UVA had fans at their Spring Game
VT ranks #1 on the annual vtfly poll. We now have 15 National Championships (the poll didn't start until 1999).
What an awesome idea!!! Too bad I will be sitting at work viciously hitting F5 and repeatedly checking twitter.
There is a chance, but not a great one. I think he is trying his hardest to get in so we'll see. I really hope he becomes a Hokie because he has stud written all over him.
At least some of their fans are honest/realistic.
Only 1983 if any. Other than that one, I don't like it. Just because everyone else does it, doesn't make it right.
Citing Ole Miss, Minnesota, Alabama, and USC as examples is not exactly a ringing endorsement.
Don't like 93.....we were on probation and didn't play in conf championship......can't say we would have won 2 more games for sure.
How is he not eligible to prep?
I hate clowns
Anyone else thinking about tailgating on the 5th?
To all of you who say Minor to Marshall b/c of grades...is this a completely foregone conclusion, or is there still a chance for him to get in?
I don't think you got the definition of "homer" correct.
Derrick Nnadi: VT
Javon Harrison: VT
Raymon Minor: VT
Isaiah Ford: VT
Isaiah McKenzie: VT
Kevin Bronson: VT

i feel like this should be labeled NSFW
The problem we have right now is that, even though we'd all love to have the next hottest coach on the market, why would anyone WANT to come to Virginia Tech? Yes, we have new Presidential and AD leadership, but we have historically, going back over several AD's and Presidents, shown that we are not willing to spend the money in regards to basketball to keep a coach competitive with his peers. Yes, we just got a new practice facility, but in the end, that just got us up to the standards of the rest of the ACC after having far and away the worst practice facilities in the league for the first 8 years we were there. We are now paying our head coach a salary that is just under 2/3 the cost of the next lowest paid coach in the conference. Even when Greenberg was getting us in the NIT every year and had us in the discussion about being a bubble team, he was still only getting paid in the lower third of ACC coaches. This is during the time he won 2 ACC Coach of the Year awards. Heck, we fired our last head coach with just about 2 weeks to go in the recruiting year. We just historically don't get it in regards to the sport.
What have we shown to the basketball world over time that would make us an attractive destination to a basketball coach? When your biggest selling point to a coach as to why he should take the job is the conference in which you play, thats a BIG problem that Babcock is going to need to fix during his tenure.
That's different. The article talks about coaches flying on a private plane when visiting recruits. It is a huge violation for recruits to fly on a private plane on school business.
Kam Chancellor and Danny Coale will always be two of my favorites because of things like this. Forget about the stuff on the field, it's the stuff you do off the field that will make me remember you.
Yeah I think you are missing it. We need that official sarcastica font!
