What's this?

I think youre spot on...

Especially if VT doesnt use the last scholarship they have available (even if Bede comes back) on a wing then I think 2 wings are the absolute priority.

VT has loaded up on some guys who can play the 5 spot, so Id really like some versatility with the post spot. You could technically call Nickel a 4 and play as a small ball 5 depending on how his body shapes up in college. Id like Nickel more than any of the other bigs VT is looking at, simply for what he brings to the position that not many in the country can do at 6'8 and thats put the ball in the hoop at a very high level.

I think Justin Taylor would be my top spot target. Then Ward. Then Nickel and Rice would be tied for third as they are both very high level scorers/shooters with versatility to 3 positions.

I really like Nickel too. Do we have a decent shot? ** -- VT One 05/20/2021 11:22PM

We are in his top 4, and obviously the closest to home... -- GCHokie34 05/20/2021 11:27PM

Thanks GC. That would be great. I missed his final four. Who are we up -- VT One 05/21/2021 11:33AM

He hasnt cut his list to 4 per se... -- GCHokie34 05/21/2021 11:51AM

I know he likes Webster quite a bit. -- HOKIE MAGIC 05/21/2021 12:53PM

I think a UVA offer would hurt more -- GCHokie34 05/21/2021 1:18PM

Thanks GC. ** -- VT One 05/21/2021 12:53PM

It's a little scary that the competition is L$U and NC$U. Strong-ass offers ** -- hokiekev 2k4 05/21/2021 11:57AM

I dont think he is the caliber of player to get a strong ass offer -- GCHokie34 05/21/2021 12:06PM

Man, I never realized how critical the nike/adidas thing was ** -- Hokie622 05/22/2021 08:49AM
