Buzz Williams is a miracle worker. Our classes are now 23rd and 18th on 24/7. This for a team which had recruited 63 and 87 under JJ. A team which has finished in the basement of the ACC 3 straight years. I continue to be amazed at what he has done in < 6 months before a single ball has been tipped off. The man has virtually earned his pay before a single game has been played. His ability to re-energize VT basketball is amazing.
And then I go read TSL and see Rev Zeke say it is "a solid class". And there is the chirping about a missed recruit. Is there some parallel pot-smoking universe at TSL where VT basketball is historically good??? I was in Bburg the Frankie Allen "Bimbo Thumbs Up" era, the Bill Foster era of boring but well-coached basketball where we won the NIT, then followed the Bobby "you sir are no Bill Foster" Hussey era, SMH at Ricky "never made Big East Tourney in his coaching career" Stokes, and saw a competitive but only modestly successful in the postseason near decade with Seth, and then the dumpster fire of JJ. That is one NCAA appearance every decade. WTF TSL? Buzz recruits back to back top-25 classes and the talk is who we missed on and how he's done a "solid" job? The guy has so far surpassed anything I have witnessed in 25 years it almost isn't funny and I'm reading how it is a solid job so far but he can't afford to slip up.
WTF?
Yeah. I'd say it is a "solid class" by almost anyone's standards. For VT considering the circumstances it is an awesome class. Addressed some needs, reeled in the #1 player in the state, and got 2 Boo Williams guys. Couldn't imagine a much better start from Buzz. I'm not sure who we missed on, but like yall I'm not worried about it considering our numbers.Buzz Williams is a miracle worker. Our classes are now 23rd and 18th on 24/7.

This is...interesting. Neither one of these guys is over 6'6.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Virginia Tech has offered Bryce Jones and Leroy "Truck" Fludd of Jones County JC.
