Given that there have now been three commitments in the last five days for Brent Pry, I thought I'd resurrect the monthly thread to keep things vaguely organized.
In the last five days, the Hokies have added two defensive linemen and with the addition of Buddy Wedgman, we now have an OL commit.

Okay
In May Hokies offered to my daughter's classmate at Roanoke Catholic. 2027 WR Demarcus Brown. 6'4" 180 lb.
Watched him last year. Natural athlete. #5 WR in state. 14 D1 offers including CAL, U. of South Carolina, Louisville, UVA, Syracuse, . Knows how to high point. Actively catches the ball. Is prepared to get yards after catch. Does not fall down just because someone grabbed him. Gets mentioned at camps as a high performer. He is my daughters friend. Good GPA. I've met him at events, seems a good guy. He'd be a good Hokie.
Recruited by Mines.
Also plays good BBall. 1000 pts in HS as Softmore.
4.56 40yd and 9'10" broad jump. 2nd team All State VA WR as a sophomore.
Sophomore season Football highlights.
Dunk.
What are you doing here? Go take your daughter and her new best friend out to dinner and talk up the Hokies!
Dinner? start paying him NIL to be on your tik toks or what ever people do on the internet
Just take out a second mortgage on your house and drop him a bag for a birthday appearance!
Highlight tape starts with him Mossing some poor defender on what should have been an easy pick on a severely underthrown ball. That's all I needed to see.
And after ripping the ball away, he makes two men miss and houses it. How many guys make that catch in the first place? And how many of those guys just fall down afterwards?
Fantastic play
Thank you for starting up a new thread since there is some action, and historically I like keeping up with prospective incoming players. But with the current state of things this was my first thought.
Ze recruiting threads, they do nothing!
247Sports Crystal Ball 3* SC IOL Malcolm Gaston to Virginia Tech over Georgia & Florida
6'5 345 LBS. North Augusta HS, SC
Offers: GA, UF, FSU, UNC, others.
247Sports Composite RANK:
USA #514, USA #46 IOL, SC #10
I think we found the beef.
If the strategy is to go all in on OL and DL with NIL that'd actually be pretty sound considering that's pretty much what makes good teams good at the
collegeany level.I don't think that's what we're doing but if anyone is looking for a positive spin there ya go
Window dressing with the overall talent level. A brilliant NIL strategy would be to go all in on any position group of 4 and 5 star players and top transfers... not shuffling the deck chairs on the titanic
Man I'm just trying to make everyone go into the weekend with a glimmer of positivity why do you have to ruin it. /s
Sorry. Personally I can't wait for the season to start. Hopefully Brent Pry and Co. will shut me up. Statement win against Shane, taking care of Vandy, dominating total shit bag ODU, etc. I would love to shut up.
This is totally where I would go if I was VT. Get a big bruiser offensive line and beat the other team's front 7 into submission over the course of the game. There is no way we can hope to compete for 4* and 5* talent at the offensive skill positions on a regular basis. Sure, we can always get a former player's son or someone that just loves the area, but not regularly. Get and keep a powerful offensive line and mediocre RBs will look good. That will open up the passing game for a so-so QB. My strategy would be follow the Wisconsin or old day Nebraska model.
And if you start winning games and getting hype, you can maybe get more money and attract better skill position talent. Problem for Pry and Company is that they don't have the time for this type of strategy to pan out in 3 or 4 years. They have to improve now.
Solid strategy.
Nebraska won a natty on that philosophy and Wisconsin was top 10-25 for yeeeeeears with same philosophy.
In today's game, I think it's easier for Virginia Tech to land four star skill player talent then it is to land, develop, and retain 5+ talented offensive lineman.
Sure it's easier but having good skill players means nothing when you're OL is getting thrashed all game I mean we watched it last year and the year before. Win football by controlling the lines it's easier said than done but that's where all our NIL should be going imo.
Yeah didnt we try the "spend all your cash on WRs and dont have an OL" already?
It's not all or nothing; but the new reality is that we're going to see less than 10 teams each year that can go more than 3-4 deep on OL without a major drop off.
I don't think that's a strategy VT can execute on year after year. We can land/develop/retain 1-2 great linemen each year, 3-4 serviceable guys, a few bangers at skill positions, and mobile qb, and we can compete in the ACC.
So then we're hiring Paul Johnson?
OL and DL that can actually play are the hardest to scout, identify and recruit in terms of known impact. Thus if any of our OL are ever great, they will transfer immediately for more money. Until there are actual rules around transferring, we won't keep great players here. Especially on the lines.
DL is not hard to scout and identify, it is hard to recruit and retain in the portal era. OL is absolutely not as easy as put all the money into 5 star OL and reap the rewards.
His offers from GA and FLA must not have been committable. =^/
Zae Cleveland anybody? Looks like a new 3* cb just committed. For now, our top in-state recruit.
He is also a high 3 🌟 in basketball.
Hokies beat out Syracuse and UVA for his commitment.
Our 2nd OL and 5th overall prospect in the last 10 days.
Class of 2026 WR Cameron Thomas was at VT's camp and posted great numbers. And if you're ready to feel really freaking old, Cameron Thomas is the son of Logan Thomas.
let me guess........ we won't offer him, he'll wind up at Davidson, and then become the most prolific wide receiver the NFL has ever seen
Yep- don't have space for him- even though rosters are unlimited now.
You literally hate everything so hard that you've got the opposite of the facts there lmao
Sorry- not unlimited, just 105 can be on scholly now. Very strict
I believe the rule is you can have 105 bodies, scholarship or otherwise.
Some player will sue to be the 106th... and win
Oldest of his five sons although Cameron, Blake and Carter are his adopted sons. He has Logan Jr and Devin as well. Cameron should be 16, Blake 15, Carter 14, then Logan is 8 and Devin is 5.
Logan is an assistant coach at Brookville High in Lynchburg these days.
Good to see Logan cutting his teeth in the coaching world. Maybe Vick will bring him on staff in a few years here at VT...
Oh, God, no.
Lots of work to do still, but June has been good for VT recruiting momentum, particularly for the lines of scrimmage. A big grab on Cleveland as well. If we land Gaston and Wilder, this will be one of our best OL classes in a long time.
Let's hope the momentum continues.
We are currently sitting at 16th place in the ACC on 247 - 7 recruits all three stars... meanwhile you have clemson, fsu, miami all with >10 four stars and everyone except for NC state, Wake, VT, and UVA with at least 1 four star.
Honestly thought Pry would be a much better recruiter than Fu, but he's not
He is better than Fuente. He had a couple decent classes early, but most of those 4* guys were busts/poor evals. Pry has elevated the floor of our recruiting classes noticeably.
Pry took over a program that had their first losing season in my lifetime and was trending heavily downward, Fu took over a team full of NFL players that still had some lingering prestige on the trail.
Pry is a relationship recruiter in a time of mercenaries.
Good point. That brings up another key part that I didn't mention, which is the recruiting environment in the NIL world has changed the game, making it more difficult to compare recruiting prowess one to one with pre-NIL times.
I think that if Pry would have been hired at the time of Fu we would not have been in the mess that we are now. He would have kept the relationships in state and expanded from there. Not saying that he would have had us playing for NC but we would be on much more solid ground than we are now.
It's easy to compare impact players actually landing on campus. Are they or not? And late FU and Pry thus far, they are not. We can make every excuse in the book, but until we land a few 4 stars that actually contribute both have underperformed in recruiting- NIL or Not.
"Pry has elevated the floor of our recruiting classes noticeably"- eh, maybe. sure we may have less late offers and 2 stars, but it has not moved the needle nor resulted in more wins. I was expecting top 25 classes, top 3rd in the ACC which is not some miracle or pipe dream. We should be able to recruit at or higher than louisville, pitt, nc state. Not too much to ask. Pry is nowhere near that, less 2 stars or not.
were we not at the bottom of the P5 in spending and NIL?
I think that's a huge factor when we keep having these discussions on Pry's recruiting. Clearly a different time in football and Pry could be putting us in a better position if he could figure out how to win on the field but when you're constantly kneecapped by an AD that's playing the reactive game in continuously changing landscape you're never going to punch above your weight-class.
Top 25 classes are more difficult to ask for than they used to be. The SEC gets between 10-12 of the top 25 classes on average each season, and the now expanded B1G + Clemson/FSU/Miami + ND account for most of the rest.
For the 2025 Class: Top 3 were SEC, 4-6 were B1G, 7-11 were SEC, 12 Notre Dame, 13 USC, 14 Miami, 15 Penn State, 16-18 SEC, 19 FSU, 20 Mizzou, 21 GT, 22 Nebraska, 23 Washington, 24 TCU, 25 Maryland.
So only 5 slots for non-B1G and SEC teams, and one of the usuals, who will return into that mix this season, is Clemson, who finished 26th. We finished 40th last year, and I do think there is expectation for improvement there. We did finish behind Duke (30), SMU (31), NC State (34), and UNC (36).
Definition of Insanity- The SEC and B1G have a structural monopoly on top 25 recruiting classes that we simply can't break/penetrate into. It is what it is- the SEC has 15 schools in the top 25 classes. Yet, we expect to win at VT not recruiting inside the top 30. Definition of insanity.
Unless we get into a P2 program, we have to accept the fact that we're a (high) mid-major program masquerading as a blue blood. Sad to say, there's not that much separating us between us and the JMUs of the world.
Not necessarily a bad thing - instead of trying to beat Goliath at their own game, we need to start acting like David again. Beamer found inefficiencies in recruiting (757) and in the X's and O's (special teams). Pry (or the next head coach) needs to find the modern equivalent of those things.
We're not going to be a playoff team going head to head with Clemson, Penn State, OSU, Bama, Georgia etc. in recruiting battles and losing (over and over again). We will if we find 10+ Bhayshul Tutens and Xavier Chaplins in each recruiting class (and keeping them). Easier said than done but it's the truth.
The outlier in that dataset is GT. How did they get ranked that high with their supposed academic requirements for entry and staying in.
Academic requirements are totally different for athletes and non-athletes at places like Stanford and GT and any other place that claims they are an "elite" academic institution but that plays in a conference that is able to send teams to bowl games. Might be the same at Army, Navy and Air Force (not sure), but that is probably about it.
GT must have changed that up. They used to offer only BS degrees and used to brag about holding to the same academic standards.
NIL is cooking, and recruits want to play for Key.
The AD (who was just hired by Michigan State for double the salary) unlocked a lot of new boosters who felt ignored by past ADs.
Source: Married into a GT family who was close friends with one of the school's biggest donors.
I agree with this assessment for Pry's classes up until now. This year feels like a significant drop off so far, especially with two 4 star decommits.
What is especially concerning to me is that we can openly pay players now...can we seriously not afford to pay even one or two 4 stars? Wtf
https://247sports.com/college/virginia-tech/article/its-decision-day-for...
4* OT Thomas Wilder out of Green Run w commitment announcement at 6pm today
"he's narrowed his focus to a final three: Virginia Tech, Penn State, and Maryland."
Whelp, we know where he is going. The evil empire/my most despised sports team in the world big dogs us again. Hope I'm wrong, but ...
College Park is the worst
For real though. I know that sportsbooks don't offer betting on recruiting commitments (for good reason) but I'd be throwing the mortgage on this if it were an option. It's hard to imagine us winning this one
Maybe we could get his girlfriend to commit to Tech? That's about the only practical way I could see him here.
Welp consider me pleasantly surprised. Never claimed to be a professional gambler haha
Glad u didn't lose ur home!!
Haha thanks. Probably exaggerated how confident I was in that prediction. Still very surprised he committed to us
2 recent crystal balls to the Hokies..... I have been hurt too many times.
He's a Hokie! Just watched it live on Wavy 10.
Got heeem
Make the topic post!
Next up could be Adrian Hamilton, announcing tomorrow
https://247sports.com/Player/adrian-hamilton-46141814/
Make it happen! Capn!
Crystal Balls came in for VT last night
Somebody tell Matt Moore, with the new scholarship limit available
Been done
Trying to push a dude backwards is way different than trying to get past him tho
Agreed, see how the Sumo guys handle a speed rush with a rip and swim combo. Moving sideways while keeping him still is different than planting a leg and pushing.
Some serious size coming to the OL, two guys at 6'6" and one at 6'7". Recruits coming in at 300 lbs. I remember them at 265 and needed 30 lbs added over the first year.
West End was good for 15 lbs a year by itself but getting them around 300 lbs out of high school is a better approach.
Can we keep it going? No much CB info, just a single medium confidence to lolUVA a couple weeks ago
I am embarrassed that this is a hard choice. The hellhole of College Park combined with almost no football pedigree, the pretentious WASPy C-ville with a reputation for ruining football careers, or beautiful Blacksburg with a football forward athletic history. I know Bburg isn't everyone's ideal. but when you compare overall situations, how is this a difficult decision?
I think you answered it - maybe he's a kid that wants to live in a city and College Park is attractive for that reason. Maybe he wants to stay closest to home and that's Charlottesville.
I know we all think through the football-only lens but there's much more that goes into these decisions than just on-field stuff.
None of that has anything to do with it. Money. Period. That's why kids choose their schools now
Oversimplification. It's just like accepting offers in the real world. You accept an offer with competitive compensation, at a company that you believe can further your career, with a company culture you like, in a location that works for you.
I have to agree with DC that money really is the only deciding factor now. Enough money will easily nullify a rough culture and/or location in this era of football.
That's why I said that the compensation has to be competitive. Just like people on the real world, other factors can outweigh a 5 to 20% drop in compensation. But if school A is offering 150 K in school B is offering $1 million, then it's a no-brainer.
The issue with compensation is that it's not really relative and therefore it's difficult to be competitive. What a player is worth to a team is directly related to how much money is being pumped into their program, not what their actual market value is. This is not a real-world scenario where the cost of labor is weighed against the final cost of the product for the customer. The NIL world isn't comparable to standard business models.
I just disagree with this entire premise.
These two sentences are conflicting. Market value literally means that the cost of something is whatever people are willing to pay for it. In this case, that something is the time/energy (aka labor) of recruits.
Any time you're talking about 'skilled' labor (in the economic sense), the value of labor has little to do with the sale price of the final product, and more to do with how much other people are willing to pay for that labor. Just look at the entire tech industry - Software costs have zero to do with how much developers, product managers, etc demand.
You can make jokes that these individuals aren't 'skilled', and you can make the argument that at some point, a college football player becomes a commodity, but at the end of the day, the top X players (300? 500? 1000?) can make a difference on a team's results.
In the economic sense, certain players have a more 'inelastic' value, so they can demand more money, that only a few firms can afford to spend.
Anyways, at the end of the day, I stand by my above statement: These players are making decisions on more than just money, but if two offers are too distant (more than 5%-20% off) then the team making the higher offer will almost always land the player.
Whatever market this is only exists in today's CFB world. It's not comparable to anything else out there. Sure, what you pay a player is based on what you have and what you expect from them, but the "what you have" isn't driven by any conceivable market presence other than being an irrational fan for a favored sports team. The bar is all over the place throughout the 136 FBS teams and isn't remotely comparable. If you want to compare the market value of a player between Bama, LSU, and UT, then that might be a conversation. Let all of the big dogs form their own minor league and that may work. I can't see any way this mess continues as is and I think it will all implode in a few years without major changes. I've been wrong before though.
I do know, however, that my decades of giving and season tickets are in jeopardy. Unfortunately my allegiance lies with a team that falls outside of the ridiculous money pump and narrative that is CFB. At least we have a good engineering program and a beautiful campus. Go Hokies.
Unfortunately texas oil money, alabama old money, wherever the billions Ohio State donors have comes from, etc is in fact endless. There is no end to the money. If star QBs cost 30 million a season, aTm donors would pay that in roughly 3 seconds. no end to the money. So I doubt this shitshow ends unless congress gets involved and passes actual laws around texas and alabama booster money laundering schemes
"The NIL world isn't comparable to standard business models."- Bingo. No industry in the world pays on potential, fake value and charitable "donations" on players or workers without employment agreements or contracts. The 90% of the NBA first round players that suck wind and can't fucking play are paid on potential but they have actual contracts that bind them to the team for a certain amount of time. No other comparison is Arch Manning getting 4 million a year having been a back up QB until now without a contract - he could walk after 3 games and keep his redshirt this year and leave the team- nowhere else is this bullshit allowed in the real world.
lol come on. Show me in the real world where my 25 year old son that has no resume and proven nothing at that job level gets paid by fanboi donations and no contracts, rules, etc. You can't. For Sean Pedulla, Mansoor Delane, countless others- its 100% about the money. 100%. and this model ONLY exists in the Baller Industrial Complex- nowhere else on earth.
Yes, this model is unique to college sports, but it's still governed by economics.
Just like anyone else deciding who to sell their labor to, there are often factors beyond just pay.
*Baller Industrial Complex*
Love this!
He's been using that for a while now since NIL exploded. It fits so well.
Picked lolUVA
So did Jayden Covil
The little brother jokes write themselves
Tell me you are not serious about football without telling me.
Must not have been a committable VT offer. ;^)
Nick Reddish to ND -- we have two older brothers on the roster here
Unfortunately he is the most talented of the three.
He is more talented than the D3 kid we just gave a scholarship to? no?
247Sports had Joseph Reddish as an 85 rating transfer, Quentin was an 86 rating out of High School and Nick was an 87 rating out of High School.
Joseph was not rated out of high school.
Their transfer ratings are bullshit and everyone knows. It's literally made up.
4 INT's 11 PD's as a true sophomore. He's our 6th CB if he beats out the freshmen, and only because Clarke is out for the year. And do we even know if he's on scholarship? I would guess not.
There's no reason not to take a flier on a sibling as a depth piece. Unfortunately we didn't land his brother but we still have time, especially in this era. If he's not on scholarship there's literally zero downside here
It speaks to where we are loud and clear. Every year for a decade we need to beat UVA to salvage one of 50 lower tier bowl games. We also pursue D3 transfers. It makes total sense if you think about it.
Not sure why you're catching DVs. Sarcasm aside, there is nothing untrue in what you said. That is (and has been) VT's chosen path for a while now. Now, is that the message you will hear from admin? Absolutely NOT. But it is clearly how they have chosen to run the program. If it wasn't, actions would be showing us otherwise. Since we are scraping by UVA at the end of every season in hopes of a bowl game and then signing a bunch of mid-major flyers every off season, year over year, with no substantive changes, I would say the program is running exactly how admin wants it to be run... Actions speak louder every time.
I am assuming that the DVs are because people are tired of the negativity of every response from DC. It seems that every single time he responds it is negative and at this point its just beating a dead horse. We all want the program to succeed and know that it has a lot of work to do to get to where we want it.
There is enough negative energy in the world. I for one come to this site to be around "my" community and don't want to hear the same negative thing a thousand times. Just my opinion.
Im used to it, and you are correct. I promise not to come on here after the season when the Reddish kid from D3 didn't get into a game and make a snarky comment. You have my word on that.
I've never understood the FCS-DIII hate. "Oh we're recruiting from DIII schools, we must suck"
Everyone has a different journey. Late bloomers and missed evaluations happen all the time. I don't care where a kid comes from, if he can help us will ball games, then I want him on our team.
Respectfully, you are totally missing my point. I love me a zero star Sam Rogers. Not my point. My point is that our hokies have been mired in a decade of suck/mediocrity/ call it what you want. We've had one good season in a decade. Think about that. We are a mid to bottom tier ACC squad right now. You don't change that with D3 transfers and Sam Rogers's on a broad scale. You change that with SIGNIFICANT upgrades in talent. That's how you get out of a decade of suck. You don't pray that a kid from D3 with no D1 offers out of high school is the next DeAngelo Hall- you don't- not in reality. I don't hate D3... I am simply being realistic about the top talent we are NOT bringing in. Pry can bring in who he wants- just don't expect to win more than 5-6 games.
Not aiming this at at you specifically, but I'm tired of hearing we need more P4 transfers. Chasing every kid who peaked in high school doesn't make sense. Our best transfers—guys like Lane and Tuten—didn't even come from P4 programs. We need to judge every player individually, regardless of where they're transferring from.
That said, I agree with the broader point about raising our talent floor. Most of our transfers are already coming from P4 or FCS programs, not DIII. The only DIII kid I can recall is Reddish, and that was a unique case—family ties and non non-potential from his time at Wingate.
The only program I can think of that's had success leaning heavily on non-P4 transfers is Indiana. They pulled kids from their own elite FCS feeder school, had a coach like Cignetti who's objectively better than Pry, and dodged most of the Big Ten's heavy hitters. That's a perfect storm we can't copy.
We need more better players. The data overwhelmingly says that those players play in the P4- overwhelmingly.
So, people are downvoting comments due to content, not due to violations of community guidelines. Got it.
I mean - I get it that there is a point to be made about signal to noise ratio. But yeah, this was my thought as well.
I would like to add that down votes are negative also. So....... just pass by comments you don't like. Dc can post his opinions, and don't read it if you don't care to. It is simple. I find his comments have clarity into many of tech's problems.
Because transfer ratings aren't just made up and we typically don't pursue D3 transfers. Those things just aren't true. Outside of Reddish, who was the last D3 transfer we signed? Come a point, you're breaking the signal/noise CG by throwing categorical nonsense out there as fact, then saying that it's "just an opinion". There is almost always a nuanced argument that could be made from his posts, and honestly, I'm pretty sure it's usually close to what DC actually thinks. That's why you can get to something interesting if you sift through the noise and engage. In this case, I that boils down to something very similar to what you just posted. You'll notice that you're not getting down-voted.
I realize I only post periodically, but I've been around for a decent time at this point. The negativity really is a reason I don't come more. Knowing that every discussion has someone (often the same someone) who is just mad and throwing bombs makes it a less pleasant way to spend my occasional free moments. I don't think I'm alone in that, and I think that also accounts for the pattern of DVs on borderline posts.
Down vote me away, but transfer rankings are in fact made up.
As much as any other number assigned as a ranking.
It is all just opinion predicting future events.
Everyone's on scholarship. There are roster limits now - you're either on the 105 or you're not. If he is, he's on scholarship. Whit and Pry have said repeatedly that they plan to fully fund football (for now at least).
Is it 105 yet? I know a few leagues were waiting on the transition. Haven't seen anything confirming that yet but maybe I'm out of the loop
The real question is with the maximum whole SIX players over the 99 double digit paradigm, how in the world will coaches manage numbers? I mean there are 6 guys maximum that might need a weird number in practice. Maybe one of Bear Bryants staff is still alive to see how he did it with 300 players. Oh shit, I forgot... just give 5 guys the number 1 and hope you are fucking paying attention so you don't get a game losing penalty.
Just make up some new numbers, like this amalgamation of 6 and 7.
What other ones can y'all come up with?
Lol I love it, but this was a missed opportunity for a 'seven five' logo/number.
I was thinking of 6 + 9 = +1. I mean we like legacy kids from former players, right?
I invite you to contribute your MS Paint skills.
I love a good shoddy Photoshop. I'll see what I can throw together.
It was a busy weekend, okay.
perfection.
The "7" looks sketchy.
I can't quite remember A QB #6 though.
Mark Leal
I can't quite remember A QB #6 though.
Decided life long term wasn't going to be football and took the medical sales job he had in front of him rather than ride the bench. Can't fault him for being honest with himself on that.
I know that the 22 season was a tough watch and the beginning of the 23 season was also a tough watch but yall Grant Wells was our QB just one QB ago.
Ok, I was making a joke implying that the #7 on that jersey was the number that appeared to be crafted by hand, instead of the number 6,
Everyone was waiting for House Settlement to finalize. It has since finalized.
Drove by Blacksburg Exec Airport on way home from work today. There were as many private jets there as for a home game. What's up?
I work in the CRC, there have been 3 or 4 new hangers in the last couple of years. Our little airport is growing up.
This is true, but not all of these jets go in those (a couple maybe) or reside here. There was a meeting/discussion/conference of some sort going on.
During the summer VT is a pretty busy meeting/convention spot for state businesses and organizations. I worked at the hotel over the summer and our restaurant was always booked with various things like that.
Why are we still posting in the June recruiting thread halfway through July?
I saw this nut-kick of a summary of the
20252026 recruiting class today (emphasis is my own):.
That's 2026 class.
Corrected, still hurts.
Time for us to break out the Hokies O&M Sonata and steal some UNC recruits
Maybe he needs room for carseats? Although I think that is a NASCAR Camry
It's a NASCAR that he's too big to fit in.
Landed a QB for the 2027 class
Appalachian State
Cincinnati
Georgia State
Liberty
Middle Tennessee State
UAB
Toledo
UNLV
Purdue
Vandy
Nebraska (yay?)
Just a few of the hard hitting opponents we were up against! /s
yes I know this is the current state of our program... sigh...
It's also early in the cycle
Meaning he probably flips like Falzone did when his recruitment takes off, unfortunately
For what it is worth, he decommitted from PSU because they did not believe he would be a P4 contributor at QB (they wanted him at TE). He then committed to Auburn because LOL Hugh Freeze and they will give him the opportunity to play QB.
Hugh Freeze promises....
Wait a minute, those promises come with illegal distribution of state funds
Well if his picture is a sign that he is willing to sit and develop instead of hitting the portal after year 1, then I say a Welcome Home kid!
