What's this?

Departures - A mixed bag

Keve Aluma - It was time. He gave us 2 great years and developed mightily. I hope he becomes a poor man's Tim Duncan.

Justin Mutts - He also gave us 2 great years. Talented guy both on and off the court. My guess is he will eventually find something other than basketball to thrive at.

Naheim Alleyne - Gave us a sold three years. He was going to lose out in a numbers game to Maddux an the freshman. A sensible move that VT is well equipped to fill.

David NGuessan - Not sure what is going on here. Seemed like a great option off the bench that would give us a couple more years. Not sure what the is looking for. Seemed like a great gig for both us and him.

We will miss them all and I wish them all the best.

We need to get another Big or 2 from the portal and we can start building the next edition of an NCAA Tourney team. Hopefully the unexpected open spots gets us what we need.

Departures - A mixed bag -- Hokdawg 04/28/2022 5:00PM

I suspect that Coach Young does not think that DNG is a viable starter -- win-tech 04/29/2022 10:20AM

I predict that we will miss Naheim's consistent defense and positioning -- tallahasseehokie 04/28/2022 7:33PM

I agree. I think Naheim will be missed more than anyone else portaling-out -- win-tech 04/29/2022 10:27AM

Don't know I buy that on DNG, what D1 athlete wants to be a career backup? -- soflahokie 04/28/2022 5:48PM

Plenty of good players ride the pine for Duke, UNC and Kentucky -- Hokdawg 04/29/2022 12:36PM

Can you name one from those teams that rode the bench for 2+ years? -- soflahokie 04/29/2022 1:15PM

The Bottom Line is Good Players continue to go to those schools -- Hokdawg 04/29/2022 1:28PM

He saw an increase in minutes over the season. The big 3 -- VAHokie89 04/28/2022 6:40PM

He quite literally saw reduced playing time month by month all season -- soflahokie 04/28/2022 7:05PM

His season average was 13.4 -- VAHokie89 04/29/2022 12:17AM

This isn't debatable, you said DNG's minutes increased over the season.. -- soflahokie 04/29/2022 08:17AM

Gotta love facts! ** -- Rationalist 04/29/2022 12:01AM

Facts are always good..... -- 2hhoop3 04/29/2022 12:16AM

How about this, he averaged 9mpg against tournament teams -- soflahokie 04/29/2022 08:20AM

Like I said...... -- 2hhoop3 04/29/2022 09:40AM
