Camden entered the portal too lol you can subtract him as well

Theyā€™re dead down at the cow palace

Is anyone aware of something going on at VT to cause the mass exodus? This seems like more than just the typical transfer portal departure cycle.

What was Enfieldā€™s buyout? Because on first glance, going from USC to SMU feels like USC went to him and said ā€œWe donā€™t want to pay the buyout but you need to go find a new job.ā€

Trilly just said Lynn Kidd is committing tomorrow. The leader going into the night is Miami.

This just means VT will be terrible next year and MY will get fired. I want Mike staying there forever even though heā€™s a thorn in our side. Donā€™t want them making a good hire

First kid to play for three ACC schools in one career?

Iā€™m not worried. Blacksburg is a dead end town for hoops. The facilities are awful. The fans barely care. And the icing on the cake is now that donors are apparently pulling NIL funding to give it to football instead. No in-demand coach is going to sign up for that. And any young coach they do get to sign up for the job (I mean, it pays seven figures, someone will do it), if he does well, will just leave for an SEC job first chance he gets.

Frankly, Iā€™d more likely wager he quits, thinking heā€™s too old to have to deal with a total ground-up roster rebuild this deep into his tenure.

I kind of feel sorry for themā€¦then I remember itā€™s Tech lol.

Mike white situation

Some of you are getting soft.

Apparently he asked Tech for 500k. And tried to fight Pedulla in practice lol

Well, if heā€™s going to Miami he is getting the number he wants because thatā€™s what Miami does.

Edit: heard a talking head today say that Pedulla should ā€œgo save Tony Bennettā€ then, of course, added ā€œBut who would want to ruin their career going to play offense at Virginia.ā€

You nailed it. Theyā€™re a perpetual stepping stone. I actually think with MY style of play they are more of a pain for us because the only time theyā€™re relevant to anything is if they upset us.

Iā€™d much rather they continue to be a revolving door. The odds of them making good hires even semi consistently is probably slim. For all the reasons you mentioned.

32% from 3 and over 100 turnovers and canā€™t defend. I am more than good.

Iā€™m envious of all of Techā€™s departures. It presents them with an opportunity to get better. Whether they do or not remains to be seen. But they will certainly have the opportunity.

So we can laugh at Tech all we want right now, but if we donā€™t get some guys moving down the road and upgrade those roster spots through the portal, weā€™re going to be a middle of the pack ACC team at best next year. What we have coming back/coming in wonā€™t be competitive.
