Strange comparison to pro sports, since college kids never stayed more than

~4 years anyway. That whole "name on the front of the jersey is more important than the name on the back" has always been more than just a cliche in college sports.

College in general is about fit and opportunity, even for non-athletes. Do you realize how many non-athletes transfer in/out of every school each year? You can gripe about kids not wanting to pay their dues, but each and every one of the kids that leave are doing so because they believe they simply have a better opportunity (and/or fit) elsewhere. I guess that's what you're saying is partially "selfish."

What are Cone and Bam seeking that they can't get @ VT with Mike Young? -- vtox1 03/25/2021 3:18PM

But, how many of Coach Young's players have made it to NBA? -- 1980VT 03/25/2021 5:10PM

Probably the exact same number who had NBA ability ** -- King of Hokies 03/25/2021 5:19PM

Players don't look it like that -- 1980VT 03/25/2021 5:20PM

It's also about being able to showcase their talents for the next level ** -- 1980VT 03/25/2021 5:24PM

Bamisile was very honest that it was about playing time. -- Will Stewart

Guessing current and expected playing-time (w/ incoming transfers) ** -- VT757to276 03/25/2021 4:43PM

Playing time? ** -- hoosnowahokie 03/25/2021 4:08PM

IMHO for Cone it was being defended by ACC level defenders -- VTCALS72 03/25/2021 4:08PM

Only so many minutes to go around -- Bmackattack 03/25/2021 3:52PM

Hm, academically 2 of the smartest players on the team. -- hokieton 03/25/2021 3:49PM

Cone & Bamisile are excellent students, can we stop trying to impugn them? ** -- GCHokie34 03/25/2021 3:48PM

Don’t see it as impugning them at all. Fans do have the right to -- uber hokie 03/25/2021 4:39PM

Yet fans do not typically have a clue about the factors in the decision -- NMB Hokie 03/27/2021 11:45AM

I dont see the same outrage with coaches leaving... -- GCHokie34 03/25/2021 4:44PM

Hmm..you must not have been here long. Wait....except you have. ** -- vatechcowpatty 03/25/2021 9:04PM

You forgot the reaction this board had regarding Buzz leaving and his aTm -- HokieBrazil 03/25/2021 4:54PM

Way more sentiment that coaches are professionals and can leave whenever -- NokieHokie 03/25/2021 5:03PM

Recruiting on someone else's dime and actively torpedoing a program... -- GCHokie34 03/25/2021 5:00PM

I'm scouring boards and not seeing the outrage you refer to -- vtfin91 03/25/2021 4:52PM

I mean...the opening post of this thread outwardly asks... -- GCHokie34 03/25/2021 4:55PM

Frank Beamer used to say, "they are good players but better people" -- VTCALS72 03/25/2021 4:12PM

Thank you ** -- hokieton 03/25/2021 3:49PM

A fresh start? Take advantage of the ncaa rules why you can -- kingofcassell 03/25/2021 3:38PM

Garland became a better player when he got more time -- lchoro 03/25/2021 3:36PM

Likely want to start and play 30+ mins a game ** -- BleedinOandM 03/25/2021 3:23PM

Or simply a path to a bigger role... -- GCHokie34 03/25/2021 3:31PM

Well, If Bam got the defense down I think he could at VT he can play 2/3 -- vtox1 03/25/2021 3:29PM
