What's this?

Disagree. Look at last year's record in ACC play.

With Radford, we went 6-4 against ACC teams.

Without Radford, we went 3-1 against ACC teams (including the best performance of the year vs. UVA).

I enjoyed watching Radford's hustle plays as much as anyone, and he is a great rebounder for a 6'2" player. But I think many VT fans are overrating him as a player. If Cattoor and Maddox take the majority of his minutes, that will give us more shooters on the court, and open up the inside more for Mutts and Aluma. If N'Guessan takes some of those minutes, that gives us more height. Not trying to minimize Radford's contributions at all, but I don't see him costing us 5 wins, nor do I think he was anywhere close to being the best player on the team last season.

How costly is the loss of Radford? Does VT bring in a transfer before -- vtox1 08/20/2021 5:53PM

He has a high motor which is uncommon. Storm Murphy seems to play that way -- lchoro 08/22/2021 09:27AM

Probably will cost us the National Championship, does that answer your? ** -- 7Hokie1 08/21/2021 9:14PM

He's a difference maker. I think he's worth at least five wins. -- Flanker 08/21/2021 1:09PM

I'm fine with what we have ** -- VaTechHokiesACC 08/22/2021 02:58AM

I would rather have the players we have now more so than the players at A&M -- millmtnhokie 08/21/2021 6:37PM

Radford paved his own road. Buzz gives him the best chance to reclaim his -- VT One 08/21/2021 1:39PM

Radford could have returned to VT -- VT94 08/21/2021 6:52PM

You may be right. Enlighten me. After two more alcohol infractions? Would -- VT One 08/21/2021 7:56PM

I wasn't talking about fans -- VT94 08/23/2021 1:25PM

I am surprised to hear that VT would allow -- BEST2VT 08/21/2021 7:53PM

Yes, he could have, but didn’t want the driving restrictions. ** -- RJHokie 08/21/2021 6:56PM

God that sucks as a reason to leave when everyone wants you to return. -- YBYSAIAHokie 08/21/2021 7:49PM

Sure looks that way. -- RJHokie 08/21/2021 7:55PM

Disagree. Look at last year's record in ACC play. -- Gobbler Guru 08/21/2021 1:38PM

Your ACC stats are not comparable. -- Flanker 08/21/2021 9:20PM

I agree it's hard to do an apples to apples schedule comparison... -- Gobbler Guru 08/22/2021 10:45AM

Nice research pull. You make good points. The thing we'll be missing -- YBYSAIAHokie 08/21/2021 8:09PM

I loved Radford, but agree. It all depends on Maddox! I'm optimistic! ** -- vtbball80 08/21/2021 7:58PM

You make some good points and I would probably land somewhere between you -- BEST2VT 08/21/2021 4:21PM
