I guess it's part of the VT fanbase culture.

So many great walk-ons in the 90s and early 2000s will do that. But in the modern football game with all the scouting that goes on, it's going to be rare these days. And even rarer in basketball.

Williamson was hyped quite a bit. Anyone have info on him? ** -- VT One 08/02/2021 11:30AM

A person who posts on this board all the time hyped him. Not 34 either -- 949hokie 08/03/2021 12:22AM

Sounds right. As I recall, he grew 5-6 inches in his last two years of high -- VT One 08/03/2021 08:23AM

Who hyped him? It's rare that a walk-on contributes in basketball. ** -- Chris Coleman

Don’t recall but it was a Richmond area local who spoke of his late growth -- VT One 08/02/2021 4:47PM

Probably the same guys that hyped Ryan Payne the year before that... ** -- VT94 08/02/2021 1:17PM

I think someone looked up some hudl highlights for Payne -- VT94 08/03/2021 10:50AM

I didn’t intend to disparage any walk ons but they generally seem to be -- VT One 08/03/2021 7:57PM

I didn't interpret your comments as disparaging... -- VT94 08/04/2021 10:05AM

I agree totally. ** -- VT One 08/04/2021 3:37PM

I wouldn't ascribe 1 or 2 posters as "the VT fanbase culture" ** -- Upwind of uva 08/04/2021 08:36AM

Whoever designed the hokiesports.com website, I'll take what he's smoking -- YBYSAIAHokie 08/01/2021 11:06PM

Pretty Bad, My eyes want to go everywhere at once and then I just want to -- wwhokie1 08/02/2021 1:42PM

Have to agree -- FloydsBarberShop 08/02/2021 07:56AM

It is a national company that many colleges are using -- UpperQuad 08/01/2021 11:58PM

Did anyone from VT actually look at what that company was providing... -- EDGEMAN 08/02/2021 09:09AM

VT should have a sponsored a club do it -- EDGEMAN 08/02/2021 09:41AM

Are you going to get a second club for monitoring and securing it? -- VT94 08/02/2021 10:28AM

A club in the Sports Data major could maybe do it -- UpperQuad 08/03/2021 01:21AM

Are any VT club students currently liable for damages in other areas? -- EDGEMAN 08/02/2021 12:47PM

No Computer Science professor would touch it -- UpperQuad 08/03/2021 01:19AM

Would not matter, they joined some network and dumped the great site they h ** -- VictoryTurkey 08/01/2021 11:07PM
