I thought the local paper said GM played for Cave Spring High School in Roanoke.

Does anybody have a link to a VA Tech message board? I'd love to hear what the locals are saying about possible hires.

Gregg Marshall has ties to Roanoke or anywhere in VA other than Richmond/Ashland RMC---Never heard that before, you may be mistaken. Of course, I may be also.

No way GM takes the VT job no way.

Your an Eagle fan and don't even know your former coach.... GM was born in SC, spent time in Roanoke when parents split, went to Cave Springs, attended Randolph Macon.

Yes he has ties, but NO he isn't taking VT job..

This is a detail that I'd say 90% of WU fans wouldn't know. Thanks for the education thru snark

Have heard him described a number of times on local TV sportscasts as a Salem native. I know he wasn't born there but I believe he grew up in the area.

These 2 guys don't agree with Manson, haha.

I've already said I wouldn't be shocked if McKay took the job. I doubt VT would stoop to the level of a UVA assistant though.

Count me in as one who would say this would be a bad move for Marshall. He'll move up from his WSU job some day but this would not be a good parlay.

Yea, you are right.
Ricky Stokes before VT:
Virginia (asst.)
Bowling Green (asst.)
Wake Forest (asst.)

Texas (asst.)

VT was in the A-10 then and UVA basketball was consistently in the top 25. Much different now.

Greenberg used to be a UVA asst as well.

Looks like I was right

Sounds like a wise decision to bring him back to keep the current players and the recent recruits. And glad to hear that Curry, Sr. wasn't chosen as HC.
