Think about what Mike Young has accomplished this year. His best player bolts to Memphis. His best big man (I know that’s a stretch at 6’ 5” or do). He has one senior, a bunch of sophomores of limited height and 3 new big men who have never played together and yet they play like the free up in the same household.

Aluma has developed from a marginal small college recruit to a potential Player of the Year in college basketball’s most prestigous conference.

Arguably, the most important player on the team gets arrested and the team steps up mightily in his absence and schools a legitimate national championship contender.

Getting hidden gems like Mutts and Pemsl and even Chiarra are impressive.

Loving VT 🏀!! Thanks Coach Young!!

If James Johnson had the same crew, we would be .500 at best.
