Frank on the Mend

I saw where Frank Beamer was still recuperating from his surgery and wasn't able to participate in any of the media surrounding signing day. Should there be concern that Frank still isn't back to 100%? Any indication the effects from his surgery will linger? Anyone with some insight on his recovery would be appreciated.

That was a brutal loss to Syracuse last night.

I am very happy with Jalen Hudson's performance and he played hard, something Buzz has been on him about for a while now. Shane Henry had a nice game - that is what we need from him, hustle, rebounds, steals, garbage points. I really hope he continues to improve. Ahmed Hill and Satchel Pierce had tough days being 0-10 from the field combined. Justin Bibbs is a star right now, that kid can ball. Adam Smith has settled in as a scorer. Malik Mueller has had 3 good games in a row now. Devin Wilson needs to work on his offensive game this offseason - he only had 1 field goal attempt in 20 minutes.

We need big men in the worst way.

Turnovers cost us. Simple as that. Syracuse started pressing and we wilted. They earned the win.

However, I am encouraged by what I have seen from this team since the Notre Dame debacle. The UVa, Pitt, Wake Forest, and Syracuse games have been encouraging and we have had chances to win all of them. Let's see how we play in the next two home games. I hope we can win at least 1.

Very happy with the 2015 class

Despite the 7-5 record and Moorehead leaving.....VT closed with a top 25 class and a stud QB and also addressed needs on the O and D line

Add in Mook Reynolds and the other athletes we landed I have to tip my cap to the staff

Yes we missed on some big targets, but I'm thrilled with the recruits that did stay committed with the season we had

Once again kudos to the staff and welcome to all of the new recruits and it's time to get better

Let's make this next year a break out season

Go Hokies and welcome to all of the new guys!
