College basketball is a sport dominated by great guard play and we have, potentially, the worst guard play we've had here in Blacksburg since Buzz Williams' first season at the helm when we went 9-22.

Luckily, we have two great forwards in Mutts and Aluma and those two guys have kept us in games this year. But, we don't have elite ACC guards. We don't even have an Ahmed Hill who, occasionally, could take over a game and drive to the basket. We have a guy who was recruited to Wofford out of high school, a guy who was the 412th player in the country out of high school, and a guy who was 115th coming out of high school who hasn't quite figured everything out.

The good news is we can take a big swing at fixing everything in the offseason. Rice and Collins will add some quality depth. But, we need a 1-2 year guy who can be a scorer on the wing that can create his own shot and get to the rim. There will be some guys available in the portal and I expect the Hokies to be aggressive there.

But, I'm not as optimistic as I was heading into this season based on what I've seen out of our younger players. I really expected guys like N'Guessan and Ojiako to be contributors and they haven't played nearly enough this year to make me feel confident that the switch will flip for them next year when they'll have to play.
