Yeah I'm not worried about Whitt at all. He will put it together with a full offseason to get conditioned and up to speed.
Whitt's last three games- 5 Assists and 17 turnovers. Holy shit, that is that terrible. I know he is young but he has miles to go before he is an ACC point guard.
Needs weight room and experience. And a haircut. He’s 17 and has been at WF for 6 weeks. In over his head right now. Jumped right into the deep end.

I’m gonna keep saying this until I get a response. There is no way Adams doesn’t deserve some of Neath’s and Whitt’s minutes right now. Any clue where he is??
Forbes pretty critical of Neath in the post game press conference. Says he has talent just has to make quicker decisions and play with confidence. Same thing I am seeing in regards to Neath.
Not sure if this has been covered in responses since, but Forbes mentioned yesterday morning that the scout team before VT game was: Miles Lester, Blake Buchanan, JR Mathis, Grant Van Beveren ... and Quadry Adams.
For as much as Forbes harps that you have to earn your playing time by the way you practice, Adams being the only scholarship guy on scout team tells you that the staff doesn't feel he deserves any of Neath and Whitt's minutes right now.

He will get there, he's driving me crazy with the turnovers also. We must remember he is 17 and will make major improvements coming into next year. He definitely needs to be in the weight room.
Whitt is also just recovered from a "rolled ankle" that caused him to miss some games. He may not be 100% just yet.
Yep, Whitt is not mentally nor physically ready for ACC play quite yet. The raw material is there but he has to grow some physically and become accustomed to play at this level, he will I am confident about that. A lot of his turnovers come from 2 things, adjusting to the speed of the game at this level and losing the ball to bigger, stronger players. Neath looks like a kid who has lost all his confidence and swagger. Mucius played spectacularly well last night and it bodes well for his future. Ish.... well he is just so soft and does not have much athleticism. Williamson, my goodness do I need to eat some crow, he is a difference maker for us even if he is the smallest kid we have on the court. Antonio was hurt for a few weeks and will get his shot back as he moves closer to 100% healthy. Ody will make an all ACC team by his senior year if he keeps improving at this rate, what a warrior.
It is so satisfying to watch a coach of ours actually making his team better for a change, unlike the other 2 clowns. Wilkins, and Adams are obviously not going to be much of a factor for us and we caught a very bad break with Tariq and Ian being out. Okpomo will be decent after a year or two if he keeps working hard so we have to be a little patient with him and feed him playing time in small bursts. I could not be happier with Forbes and think he will have people reluctant to play us in a couple of years IMO
