Exum? I would argue that he was the most improved player on the roster this year. He learned an entirely new position this year and did a decent job in his first couple games, which isn't bad seeing as his first meaningful snaps at CB came against D1 talent. He steadily improved throughout this year and played a pretty vital role in our games, highlighted by his pick against UVA.

Wherever he plays next year, I am confident he can make an impact. He also seems like a pretty high character guy who likes to have fun with the game and I hope he can emerge as a leader for this team next year.

Are we becoming Duke-esque? Not as far as stuck-up assholes, but in terms of play... Chucking up threes and if they sink, we win?

Eddie is just as big of a key for success as Erick. Brian said that in his preview and it's holding true. As soon as he came off the bench we got a little bit of a spark. That three-ball is a big part of the offense, for good or bad.

I live in WV. These WVU fans are more pumped about this than they ever were about an NCAA tournament. The hatred is still there. I honestly hate WVU more than UVA in EVERY sport.

Las Vegas opened the line with WVU as 5 point favorites. Now, the line has moved to 7 1/2 to 8 point favorites. If I remember correctly, OSU was only 2 point favorites.

I guess we'll see if VT can handle an away game, as Vegas and many others are expecting a WVU win.

We just do not have the bodies right now to go full-court press and uptempo on offense.

does not break my heart, as long as we find somebody else that can produce points. Still not convinced the spread/air-raid/up-tempo offense is right for us or that it will succeed long term. The national championship games again features 2 defense-oriented teams with conservative offenses. I'll let smarter minds than mine debate what offense would fit our program best.

Stiney getting a HC job somewhere else would be great for him and would breath some fresh air into our program. It disappoints me to see Stiney get such a bad rap since we all know he is a hard-working recruiter and loves our program. Would love to see him have success somewhere else as the HC.

If Cav, Newsome and O'Cain retire and Shane moves to ST coach and retains Recruiting Coordinator duties, that would open up the offensive staff, with the exception of Sherman, for a new OC and his picks for position coaches. Knowing HCFB, the new OC, if there is one, will be somebody he knows or somebody that comes highly recommended from trusted sources. Hope we get somebody with SEC experience myself, as that is where I suspect we will be in a few years. Maybe a guy that Shane is familiar with from his time in the SEC?

Tony Franklin was one of two offensive coordinator candidates who had been interviewed. The deciderers picked Franklin but it was very close and Frank had to break the tie. VT had a deal with TF but he decided to follow Dykes to Cal. The other OC candidate is still in play. Whoever this person is, their name is under tight wraps because of negotiations. I can only speculate that it might be Dana Bible, Ralph Friedgen or someone else. However, I doubt that it's Ralph. I think if a lot of things fell through then it could be Ralph.

Just that Franklin had a deal in place in principle. VT knew that TF was waiting to see what Sonny Dykes was going to do.

However, the rumor is that Stinespring has been offered a HC job. Cav, Newsome and O'Cain are going to retire. Shane will move to ST and recruiting coordinator positions.
