Good question. I don't know if it is a lack of talent or confidence. . . .


Maybe a little of both? I think there are only 4 seniors on team but 12 or 13 juniors most of whom came out of JUCO. I suspect they were brought in intentionally to fill a void, and maybe give time for freshmen to acclimate to the college game, but that class is the majority of the team. If they don't step it up next year, then the big JUCO class will be a bust, and they will taking spots that freshmen and sophmores could be using.

I guess my point is this JUCO class was a big gamble, and isn't working oit this year the way I thought it might.

I've watched a lot of games this year and many times I've seen other teams just do the little things to win that VT can't seem to do.

My prediction is they will be better next year, seniors will be fully acclimated and will contribute more, but without some serious recruiting, a big drop off the following year.
