Couldn’t be more proud of the MAN that you’ve become!!!
Just for the record, there is a big difference between someone saying “welcome” and being welcoming!!! Thank you to Blacksburg and Virginia Tech for being the latter. I continue to be so impressed with the vibe / culture of Hokie Nation. And I’m very proud to be part of it.
#WeUp
So I Intentionally refrained from touching the Hokie Stone since I got here in May. I wanted to wait until Game 1 to do it the right way - so proud to do it with Coach Young and this team.

The term 🐐 gets thrown around a lot. No matter if you’re a fan or not, you must respect what Coach K did for our game. And as a Coach, he has set the bar incredibly high for us to aspire to. Simply stated, THANK YOU COACH K!!!
Love being at a place where the support is consistent and unwavering. It is truly a blessing. We need that

This is how you use the blessings that GOD and the game provide.
Culture is a buzz word in today's game - after seeing our guys in the gym and how hard they work...I can proudly say that the Hokie Basketball Culture is truly amazing to be a part of. This is going to be fun!!!

Yesterday was great measuring day with the Staff. I am so appreciative of all of these opportunities that we have to learn and grow together - we have a ton to accomplish and these times truly will help us do it at an ELITE level.
#GoHokies
Another Monday and another great day of work! So impressive to see hard work and to see it consistently -staying committed even when you aren't in the mood is a separator in this game. Let's go Hokies!!!
If you played for, coached with, or were a manager under Coach Mike Jones '91, we hope that you will join us for a reception at the Convocation Center at 1pm on Sun. Aug. 13th. The purpose is to announce plans to name the basketball court in honor of Coach Jones.
I have coached a couple that went on to play for Duke. My favorite one was one of the first to send his congrats!!! My man
@QCook323
- love this dude!!!
Busy few days with the guys and prepping for this last Live Weekend. Wheels up ✈️ to check in on some future Hokies and to work on getting some new ones.

No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care-It’s amazing that in this game, just like in life, this will always be true. Players want to play for coaches that care about them as well as a coach that knows the game - so thankful to be on a staff full of this!
Gold Medal 🥇 vibes . . . Excellence is a habit and such an attainable grainy when in it for the right reasons AND amongst the right people. Mike Young and our entire program, filled with the right people and all in it for the right reasons.

Great time to be a part of something great. There is nothing like it - no better feeling that when you can see the end, but embrace every step of the journey.
#RightfootLeftfoot
Let's go Hokies!
Learning from Legends - Coach Wags has been around the game a long time - he coached Len Bias in HS. I am thankful for each and every opportunity I get to be around the game and those that have poured into the game.
We are refinishing our basketball floor which now is the "Michael K. Jones '91 Court." We announced this at a reception last month. In December, at a hoops game, we will hold a formal Dedication.
While this account will remain active (but run by someone else), Coach Mike Jones is now on Twitter as
@wHOKIEmj
- go give him a follow and Go Stags and Go Hokies
Been fortunate to coach great people. Some have had amazing careers. I will stand up for my guys 100%. 1 of those is Quinn Cook! You can’t question the resume: AAU National Champ, High School National Champ, USA Basketball World Champ, NCAA Champ, 2x NBA World Champ.
@QCook323
In late June 2015, 6 years ago, I celebrated with these 3 guys - it marked 3 straight NBA Drafts that I had a former player selected. Looking forward to many more in the coming years. Can't wait to hear a few Hokies names called!!!
It will always be in my blood - I am so proud of these three. I know that they will lead a team to finish what they started. Congrats on the next chapter - y’all will always be “my guys”.

Morgan Wootten passed away 2 years ago today. And each and every day since, I have thought of him and all that I learned playing in his team and then coaching by his side. “Thank You Coach, for everything!!”

Even though in Blacksburg, you better believe that the Jones crew is gonna do whatever it takes to get some - even if that means
