October 2010 - Roundball Club Update from Seth Greenberg
Dear Roundball Club,
We are just a week away from the start of practice. Our staff has been
busy on the road recruiting and doing individual and team workouts. Although we
have been hit with injuries, I am excited about the prospects for the coming
year. Our starting unit is intact and I am confident one of our underclassmen
will step up and give us the depth needed to compete in the best conference in
college basketball.
Raines Update: Cadarian Raines had shock therapy on his foot on Monday
and Dr. Anderson is optimistic it will assist in the healing process. I am
anticipating holding him out till October 25th which would give him 15 days of
practice prior to opening game vs Campbell.
Late Night: Come join us for Late Night with the Hokies, October 15th.
The festivities will begin following our volleyball contest. (Our volleyball
team is playing at a high level and play a fastbreak style of game that is fun
to watch). Let’s rock the Cassell for the start of the season.
All Access Clinic: Get an insiders look into college basketball by
attending our All Access Clinic October 22-23. The clinic will begin on Friday
evening. After Saturday’s session, join our players and staff for a tailgate
prior to the football game vs Duke. The cost of the clinic is $40.00 and
includes a clipboard, T-Shirt and lunch. To reserve a spot, return the attached
form or call our office at 540-231-6275.
Tip Off Banquet: Doug Gottlieb will be the featured speaker at this
year’s National Bank of Blacksburg Tip Off Banquet on October 24th. He has
developed into one of ESPN’s featured analyst and is never short on a story or
opinion. Doug was a huge supporter of ours as the field for the NCAA Tournament
was selected. For further information on the banquet or the clinic, call our
office at 540-231-6275.
Thank you once again for your support of our basketball program. Your passion and commitment is no doubt making a difference. See you at the Cassell!
GO HOKIES!

2010-2011 Virginia Tech Men's Basketball Schedule... What We Know So Far...
But I'm not here to talk football... the Hokie Guru is here to talk men's basketball. Specifically, the 2010-2011 season... here's what we know about the schedule so far:
1.) On November 16, 2010, Virginia Tech will take on Kansas State University in ESPN's 24 hour college basketball marathon. You can see more about that here. The game is at 4 PM EST. A big game for the Hokies, which will match two really great backcourts... I'm a homer for Malcolm Delaney and Dorenzo Hudson, of course.
2.) From November 25 - 28, 2010, Virginia Tech will take part in the 76 Classic in Anahiem, CA. The Hokies take on Cal State-Northridge in the first game on November 25 at 2 PM EST. Other teams that are part of the tournment are DePaul, Murray State, Oklahoma State, Tulsa, UNLV, and Stanford. This is a three day tourney with a bracket type format, so the Hokies should get a few good games here in Cali... would be cool if we took on mid-major Murray State... or Mountain West Conference foe UNLV... or our BCS brethren in Stanford or Oklahoma State. This tournament will help us get a chance to improve the non-conference schedule.
3.) On December 1, 2010, Virginia Tech will take on Purdue in the Atlantic Coast Conference - Big 10 Challenge. The game will be at 7:30 PM EST on ESPN. This is a big game for the Hokies because Purdue is rated in the top five in many preseason college basketball polls.
4.) [August 25, 2010 Edit] On December 12, 2010, Virginia Tech will take on Penn State in the Cassell.
4.) On December 18, 2010, Virginia Tech will take on Mississippi State IN THE BAHAMAS.
5.) Today, we heard on Twitter that Virginia Tech will play Virginia at home IN THE MIDDLE OF DECEMBER. GREAT NEWS FOR HOKIE FANS.
If you can't tell, the Hokie Guru is pretty fired up :) GO HOKIES!!!

August 2010 - Roundball Club Update from Coach Seth Greenberg
Dear Roundball Club,
It is hard to believe that the summer has come to an end and we are preparing for our player’s return to campus. The summer has been productive for our team. They have approached their school work, conditioning and skill development with intensity and a purpose. Our freshmen have made the transition to college life and are learning to work. They are both talented and have great attitudes.
James Johnson has done a superb job setting the tone for our staff. His energy, personality and ownership in our program has made a huge difference over the past three years.
We are finishing up our last week of camp. Dennis Wolff assumed the role of our camp director as well as assistant to the head coach and has used his time on campus to get to know our players.
Adrian Autry’s new position as full time assistant coach has enabled him to be on the road. He has a tremendous work ethic and is an outstanding evaluator. I have no doubt he will do a terrific job for our program.
John Richardson is getting acclimated to our program. He is working hard and will be moving his family to Blacksburg this August. John is a high energy person with a wealth of experience at every level. His network is solid and his relationships strong!
As many of you are aware, Allan Chaney has had another episode and he will be seeing a specialist August 16th. We are still optimistic about Allan‘s eventual return but there is no timetable as we are dealing with a viral infection. Dave Dietter, our trainer, has done a great job with our medical staff and the doctors at UVA Medical Center. I sincerely appreciate his commitment to our players’ well-being.
I could not be more pleased with the work of Dave Jackson. He is a true Hokie. His love for everything Virginia Tech makes him the perfect fit for our program. He connects with our players and they believe in him.
I am looking to secure a date for our Welcome Back get together. I will send the details in my next letter. Enjoy the remainder of the summer!
GO HOKIES!
Seth Greenberg
