[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 583565, member: 1776"] This is literally about having 5 bodies to put on the floor. He avg 4.3 ppg, 3.7 rpg at AL ST last season and started 16 of their 31 games - avg 18 mpg. AL ST is a SWAC member which is the lowest rated conference in college basketball. His job is going to be to eat up as many minutes as he can. He is 6'8, 205 - which makes him the current tallest player on VT's roster ahead of Landers Nolly who is 6'7. Next tallest is PJ Horne who is 6'5, 230. I currently have VT pegged for last in the ACC. There are talent limited teams that have overperformed before - think GT in Pastner's first season, or Pitt last year (who went 3-15 in the conference). But in general the ones who do have one thing going for them this VT doesn't - experience. The overperforming teams usually have a core of experienced but not overly talented players who know how hard they have to play and how well they have to execute as a team to win - This VT has none of that. Assuming Blackshear doesn't go back to Blacksburg - if VT wins more than 3 ACC games Young should be a unanimous COY. [/QUOTE]
