News & Notes

I spoke with someone who watched the basketball team unofficially scrimmage today (Greenberg could not coach them).  Here were his observations:

  • Both Jeff Allen and Dorenzo Hudson have lost significant weight. 
  • Jeff Allen was the best player on the court by far, including A.D. Vassallo.  Man-child.  Played a lot of minutes despite a nagging injury, and his slimmer physique had to help.
  • Vassallo and Malcolm Delaney each knocked down a couple of threes.  [Remember, the line moved back a foot for this season.]
  • Victor Davila still needs to add some weight/muscle but looks like a player.  Will produce this year.
  • Gene Swindle is a major project, will not play this year.  [Niemo’s observation: Think Carruth/Krabbendam only more goofy.  I don’t see him ever playing significant minutes for us, unless he steps up and develops like Chas McFarland did at wake.  But I haven’t seen VT develop a true big man yet (ie: wasn’t a big recruit but became good), so we will see.]
  • 2009 VT verbal commits Ben Boggs and Cadarian Raines both played.  Boggs played the 2-guard and held his own, showing a good inside/outside game.  Raines impressed him with his aggression on the boards and offensive end.  Seems like he has a high motor.

    I would assume the VT Ticket Office would have the best information on that: 1-800-VA-TECH4
