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. Cred: 🗣 @JM_Squarepants .🎥 @JordanLong_4

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!!!

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.

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!.

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.
