Yea, that's a good pickup.

Nice job.

Alright! Finally some good news. Back to back 3* recruits in less than a week.

 

[VTscores]

JJ doing a great job of recruiting. Lang seems like he has a lot of potential.

"Murphy said Lang already ranks as the best player he has coached but can't wait to see him reach his potential this year and into the future."

I just hope Lang qualifies. We seem to have a knack for having top recruits end up being former Hokies. Lang sounds like one heck of a player.

Malik Mueller is ineligible. Will be allowed to practice this year and will have 4 years starting next year.

Alright guys, we're done. Go home. No Virginia Tech basketball this year.

The "came as a surprise" bit from JJ has me a bit intrigued. Is it a surprise because he thought the NCAA would grant the waiver or a surprise because he wasn't aware of Mueller's academics. If its the latter, we have even more serious problems with our coach than we realize.

I guess he thought they'd grant the waiver. After all, why wouldn't they?

Any chance we can sneak him onto the team this season?

How many voters were there?...54? So a handful of voters actually picked us somewhere other than last place?!?!?

It irks me a bit when they pick a freshman as first team all ACC preseason.
