What's this?

The way I look at it is as roster management part of coaching.


Trying to keep the roster supplied with players who are ready to play and if you lose one you need to replace one. So far,

Nolley was replaced with Mutts
Cone was replaced with ?
Bamisile was replaced with ?
Radford was replaced with ?

These are all players that need to be in the system now ready to go, and with exception of Nolley are just pure unfilled attrition. So you don’t have depth. Radford was not Mike Young’s fault but he needs to backfill for him in the next portal recruiting cycle with a player who is ready to play, not “be developed”. Cone and Bam should have already been filled with a player ready to play. So, as I see it, now we are -3 effectively on roster management under Mike Young. That’s why I cringe when I see good players on the bench who aren’t getting minutes. We can’t fill a roster effectively through a revolving door of recruits who never see much PT.

  It's crazy how far off this team has performed vs preseason expectations -- Foxhall Hokie 01/28/2022 12:50PM
  He just may need more of his recruits in the system. That may mean at some -- IB4TECH 01/28/2022 3:26PM
  Player retention has been an issue for Young at VT. -- NC Hoke 01/28/2022 5:05PM

  Agree, but with one exception -- ShockWaveVT 01/28/2022 6:14PM
  Agree, I’m just counting heads. -- NC Hoke 01/28/2022 6:21PM
  NA is one of his recruits. There is no one left that he didn't pick. ** -- IronBlood 01/28/2022 4:01PM
  And NA is averaging 10.5 points per game and is on pace to have his highest -- HokieAl 01/28/2022 4:21PM
  Well, let's be honest. He had to grab what he could work with. -- UEMcGill 01/28/2022 4:10PM

  True. Plus we lost 4 of our last 6, including to a 6-10 Pitt team. -- Maroon Effect 01/28/2022 3:28PM
  They say he's a "system coach." Systems get figured out and can be overcome -- Maroon Effect 01/28/2022 3:10PM
  Doubt he has many options. ** -- BioVTjunkie 01/28/2022 2:11PM
  Yeah, but at least Tech is the best last place team in D-1 basketball. ;) ** -- Old Line Hokie 01/28/2022 1:59PM
  It does kinda feel that way, though -- Zanderhokie 01/28/2022 5:30PM
