Summary of NOVA Hokie Club Recruit Night

I won't quote Coach Stinespring, but there were a couple of comments that he made in response to my questions the NOVA Hokie Club Recruit Night last night.

1) I asked about the safety spot. He didn't saying anything about any of the young players, but he did say that Chuck Clark was one of the best communicators on the team and that he was a prime candidate to move back to safety. He repeatedly emphasized how the rover sets up coverage and alley/edge assignments to the boundary and the free safety handles those calls to the field.

2) I also asked about the center spot. He indicated that Kyle Chung was a kid they were very excited about, but it looks like his injury issues will cause him to miss the 2015 season. Eric Gallo is the only kid with experience, but they may look at Billy Ray Mitchell and Tyrell Smith to move inside and contribute. He mentioned Zachariah Hoyt may be a gray-shirt candidate.

3) He received the old "who will be the first freshman to play" question. He continually remarked about how Carson Lydon could get on the field immediately at the mike spot, so it sounds like Andrew Motuapuaka may have a battle on his hands. He felt that Mook Reynolds has the talent to force himself into the lineup like Kendall Fuller could. He mentioned Trevon Hill, Austin Clark, and Mike Arnold as three kids who they need to win jobs because of holes in the lineup.

It was very nice to meet several TKP readers. Thanks so much for the kind words!
