OT: Buzz Williams leaving VT for Texas A&M - MonGNARch - 04-03-2019 09:10 AM Not super related to ODU directly but definitely an in-state hoops impact. Buzz Williams is leaving VT for TAMU. Coach Buzz Williams leaving VT I really liked Buzz and appreciated what he did for the Hokie Basketball program. I remember watching him from afar at Marquette as well. I wonder how this affects VT's recruiting, it seemed like he was a coach the players loved to play for RE: OT: Buzz Williams leaving VT for Texas A&M - mturn017 - 04-03-2019 09:12 AM Too bad for the Hokies. I like Buzz too. Good coach, did good things there. RE: OT: Buzz Williams leaving VT for Texas A&M - Gilesfan - 04-03-2019 09:14 AM WOrst kept secret in history. This was known 6 months ago. Thats a blow for VT. I think they are going to go after Marshall or Wojo. If I was them, I would look at Willard/Cooley as well.

VT probably has more extra money to throw at him though.

I know the Big East a a top basketball conference, but I would assume joining the ACC is hard to turn down for most sports RE: OT: Buzz Williams leaving VT for Texas A&M - MonarchManiac - 04-03-2019 11:51 AM Is TAMU really a step up other than $?

Their bball facilities are better than VTs. They have a better recruiting area. And they don't have to play in the ACC.

When Dave Blaine was AD, he told the VCU AD that they'd always play in basketball after the Metro/CUSA shitshow. That did not come to pass. No clue what their deal is. You think they'd like to get to Norfolk, Richmond and D.C. on a semiregular basis to fly the flag in front of their many alumni there.

So they got scared and quit playing us.

I think it'd be a good series to start back up...would be good for both schools. I kind of wish we'd use some of WKUs tactics and schedule hoops games when scheduling the buy football games vs power 5 teams.
