šŸ€ ACC Basketball- 2025 offseason

All I will say is that last season Goodman couldn’t understand why Power wasn’t getting max playing time. I remember him giving Ron crap about that.

VT fans disagree. They see him a program altering recruit. Pretty wild overreactions even by their standards. ā€œMike Vickā€

I can’t imagine that board if he opts for the draft.

If he is as good as they say, why wouldn’t he opt for the draft???

Tennessee is definitely the leader in ā€œwhich fanbase should be the most mad?ā€ Somehow, the actual mad fanbases are Auburn (wanted a Duke rematch) and Kentucky (making disparaging comments about UNC being a bubble team).

I forgot, which conference was in charge of the matchups this year? I think they alternate.

Jeff Lamp was also Mr. Kentucky Basketball Player and chose Virginia over Bobby Knight’s Indiana team and I am sure Kentucky would have wanted him. Lamp, Lee Raker, Terry Gates and Louisville point guard Jerry Eaves all played together at Louisville Ballard HS for Shultz who became an assistant to Terry Holland and the Hoos. Raker committed first then Lamp then Gates transferred and sat out a year as he was a year older. Lamp and Raker were absolutely great and if we had three point line with them shooting plus Ralph inside we would have won our first National Championship then. It started soon after they graduated

Dean Smith pushed hard for ACC to adopt the 3pt line earlier than planned so he could compete against Ralph.

VT gets its bat signal so Neoklis Avdalas is imminent. Great pull for them and another team that has improved quite a bit on paper in the ACC

I’m not a Will Wade fan, but I can’t think of anyone better to push all of UNC’s buttons. It’s gonna be a fun few years.

So I get him as a prospect, I do, but I’m not sure I see him as an immediate difference maker playing PG for a pretty meh Hokie squad otherwise. Young is a good coach and maybe this is copium, but I’m skeptical he’s going to immediately raise their floor like 5+ games or something.

Don’t tell that to their fans. They’re rolling. Seen at least 5 say this makes them a Sweet 16 team. Arvin and others calling it the biggest recruiting win in program history (which may be true honestly). The consensus is this move instantly makes them a tournament team.

I’m not remotely buying that

Their maintenance staff has been instructed this week to dust off the trophy case and slide the bass trophies and soil judging trophies from the center to the sides to make room for their basketball hardware.
