VT has been handing out so many offers the last few days, it's almost like this
Looks like a long strider with a pretty explosive first step, good balance and I know its hard to tell but pretty good speed.
#Allthereceivers...lots of competition with recruiting this kid it appears, but loving the kids we've offered this week. Hope we can land a few! A rebound season next year is a must.
This is exceptional, setting the program surge ahead towards recruiting 2016 while wrapping up this cycle.
Hey Joe, would it be possible to link to these recruits on 247 when you post their offers? I always head to 247 to check out their stats and measurables after you report that we've offered them.
Didn't bother looking at his 247 profile before watching the video... Wow, this kid is gonna be good in college. He has breakaway speed and absolutely towers over the defenders. With a couple years of collegiate weight training, he'll be an absolute force in college. Only thing I see off about his game is that it takes a few strides before he gets into full speed, which could allow defenders to collapse quickly in college if you don't get him the ball in space.
So then I check his profile... yup,, as I suspected, a fairly unanimous mid-4* recruit who has offers from a bunch of big boys. Would love to get him, but it would mean beating out the likes of Michigan, Ohio St, Notre Dame, Michigan St, North Carolina, and Miss St, all of whom have already offered. That said, we have Moorehead on the case, so I wouldn't be surprised if we're in this one for the long haul.
Any relation to Alvin Mack from ESU?
Hmmm, I am beginning to notice a trend
Sean Foster- Illinois (Aaron Moorehead territory)
Stephen Spanellis - Baltimore (Moorehead territory)
Austin Mack-Indiana (Moorehead territory)
Tre Nixon- Florida (Gray territory, but Moorehead's position)
Kareem Felder-Maryland (Moorehead territory)
Also, I'd expect the Hokies to offer Trent Maynard from Indiana- also Moorehead's area.
While Searels has a major hand in OL recruiting, Moorehead is the one building the relationships in these areas. That is critical, especially when (as I pointed out when looking at offensive talent coming from Virginia over the last five recruiting classes) the Hokies must recruit OL and skill position players from out of state in order to return to prominence in the ACC. GIVE THIS MAN A RAISE.
I thought he already got himself that raise....
That being said, Moorehead is quickly developing into one of the best recruiters we've ever had. He's almost single handedly turning our recruiting process from one of a regional mindset and taking it national. And considering his age, the fact he's doing this with us right now is absolutely phenomenal. Of everyone on staff, he and Bud Foster are the 2 guys I most want to stick around after Beamer retires. I rarely come across a big name recruit we're in the mix for without reading Moorehead's name as the lead recruiter on 247.
moorehead, gray and foster would be great keepers for sure. I wonder if moorhead sees himself as more of an nfl guy or a college guy long term. Also curious to know what kind of coaching ambitions gray might have.
