No offense, but that's nonsense


If VT had a program like Kentucky, where we got blue chip recruits every year, mostly they ended up being one-and-done guys, we were always a top-25 team and challenged for the title when everything clicked just right...well...student athlete loyalty would be virtually non-existent. Recruits would come here expecting to start right away and go pro after a season or two, and often transfer out if they didn't. Hell, more than a few of them would be nudged out if they didn't live up to expectations. Rare indeed would be the player who was (a) good and (b) stuck around for four years.

...and it would be an absolute GOLDEN AGE for Hokie Hoops. Ticket sales, alumni donations, TV ratings would all be through the roof. Sure, there would be a few folks who pined for the old days of more intimate smaller time athletics, but 95% of the fanbase would be ecstatic.
