What's this?

Big man has always been a problem at VT. Why not go smaller?


The priority is, and will always seems to be a 6'9" PF that can dominate the paint, but move like a SF. With the success of Mutts, I don't know why MY wouldn't be able to find someone to fill that position from the portal. Now whether or not there's a player like that in the portal is a different question, but showing how Mutts can have good success, particularly if he could take care of the ball better, is going to be a great recruiting tool if he leaves.

I also wonder, would you feel this pessimistic about next year had we beaten Miami last night and NCSt at home? 4-4, 12-7 seems a lot different, but in reality is 3 or 4 plays different. Same question goes for if these toss-up games go our way down the stretch, something 'clicks' or Maddux/Pedulla play more in crunch time and this team ends 8-12, 16-15 and in the NIT?

Again, why I don't like middle of the season debates. Really like to see how the season plays out. VT wins on Saturday, you'll have people praising MY as the coach of the century for whatever adjustments he made, when in reality, it would most likely be the product of good shooting from VT, poor shooting from FSU and the players simply taking care of the ball better than they did last night.

  Will pointed this out last night (here, on Twitter?). Everyone needs to go -- hoosnowahokie 01/27/2022 11:51AM
  Can we separate bad and unlucky -- VAHokie89 01/27/2022 3:53PM
  That is the team that had a lot of off the court stuff going on right? -- HokieJamie 01/27/2022 2:18PM
  You do recognize that our younger team won a couple games... -- EDGEMAN 01/27/2022 12:27PM
  And I believe that tipped shot should not have counted, by the rules -- No_Limit_Hokie 01/27/2022 12:27PM
  It makes a big difference what year players are and bench -- lchoro 01/27/2022 12:24PM
  Good points. One thing is most of our starters/best players -- santafe 01/27/2022 12:22PM
  It's an underachieving season, they happen. I hate it, but it happens. -- Bmackattack 01/27/2022 12:22PM
  To expound more on this comparison...Last year was a wonky year -- hoosnowahokie 01/27/2022 12:10PM
  If Will's point is that anything can happen, ok. -- IronBlood 01/27/2022 12:06PM
  UNLESS we pull a Wake Forest portal trick -- hokiepro 01/27/2022 3:44PM
  My point wasn't about next year, or "anything can happen," or any of that. -- Will Stewart  01/27/2022 3:42PM
  His point is, people bailing on the program because the team has lost -- hoosnowahokie 01/27/2022 12:20PM
  That's not Will's point. ** -- NokieHokie 01/27/2022 4:42PM
  Thanks guys, I can read after the fact too I extrapolated -- hoosnowahokie 01/27/2022 4:58PM
  Was that Will's point? ** -- VAHokie89 01/27/2022 3:54PM
  I'm not bailing on the program or calling for anyone to be fired. -- IronBlood 01/27/2022 12:33PM
  That's not the point of the original post at all. It's about this year -- HokieAl 01/27/2022 12:15PM
  Maybe not, but he states "That team went on the next year...." -- santafe 01/27/2022 12:37PM
  "If Will's point is that anything can happen, ok". -- IronBlood 01/27/2022 12:22PM
  How do you know next year will be a lot worse? -- hoosnowahokie 01/27/2022 12:30PM
  I don't know the future, no one does. -- IronBlood 01/27/2022 12:38PM
  Just blindly stating it's going to be worse with no actual evidence -- hoosnowahokie 01/27/2022 12:47PM
  It is really simple. -- IronBlood 01/27/2022 1:39PM
