What's this?

I guess I don't understand if he can defend the five, why we would want him

at the four - given all of the responsibilities the five has in helping the offense execute. I don't know basketball all that well so maybe I'm mistaken, but it doesn't seem like there is a place in CMY's offense for a defense only five no matter how big he is. If Basile is good enough defensively to play the five, wouldn't we prefer to have an even more athletic four?

This is fun but a waste until Mutts decides and options are exhausted. ** -- chagerma 05/04/2022 5:04PM

I think Camden will play some 3 as well. -- NC Hoke 05/04/2022 11:43AM

To be fair... -- GCHokie34 05/04/2022 5:03PM

Good Predictions. I'll add a few guesses. -- win-tech 05/04/2022 11:00AM

That would be huge if Kidd could help like that next year ** -- BEST2VT 05/04/2022 2:05PM

Can Basile slide into 4 for a big lineup? -- 1980VT 05/04/2022 10:39AM

Short answer is yes. -- NC Hoke 05/04/2022 2:17PM

He's more of a 4 than 5, I thought. ** -- BG Hokie 05/04/2022 1:47PM

Possibly. Basile is very athletic. Check out this monster move at 1:40 mark -- YBYSAIAHokie 05/04/2022 10:52AM

It's interesting that you see that. -- chagerma 05/04/2022 5:17PM

I hope not. That would be a complete disaster for the team and CMY. -- IronBlood 05/04/2022 11:21AM

Malpractice??? Recruiting for VT is tough in basketball -- 1980VT 05/04/2022 1:18PM

There are more players in the portal than there is roster space -- IronBlood 05/04/2022 1:28PM

CMY is certainly doing his job -- 48tnhokie 05/04/2022 4:37PM

CMY is trying. Hard. But that does not mean VT will get who we want. -- VT ChemE 1986 05/04/2022 12:40PM

For sure, he may not get who he really wants, but he has no excuse not to -- IronBlood 05/04/2022 1:04PM

Yeah, you're right, we should go into the season with just 10 scholarship -- IronBlood 05/04/2022 4:03PM
