Should be a nice LG by sophomore year.
QB
weakside DE
Shoot, I say linebacker watching all the kids he drops.
Welcome to Hokie Nation!
Welcome!
Lecitus Smith (k'vn) 6-4 255 TE/HBack/QB/WR/LT
The phonetic's show up in the preview, but not when posted.
Welcome to the good guys! Can't wait til "3rd and Lecitus" is a thing.
Note that he did not commit to the University of Virginia Tech.
To be fair though, it says Virgina Tech. Not that I'm complaining. Woohoo new recruit!
Uh... what? Virginia Tech is our name.
I think you should look closer. But that's just what I think.
haha, leg to you both. thanks for clearing that up!
He's not the only one who has messed that up. The Intro to Engineering textbook that was for all incoming engineers in 2010 had "Virgina Tech" on the front cover..
That was great showing up to the first engineering class and the professor was handing out stickers to cover up the mistake.
Did one of the stickers say "pre-business" or "pre-history"?
didn't even catch that one, lol

Never realized how amazing this show was until I got Hulu about a month ago
After looking at his highlight video they might have liked his blocking ability just a little bit.
WOOOOOH! good news for a good hump day
Shibest has been primary on Caleb Farley (NC), Drake Deiuliis (NC), and Lecitus Smith (GA). All three star recruits. Nice... lock down the southeast.
this Georgia kid serves up some serious pancakes:
Vice as the secondary recruiter hmm not 100% sure he will be a TE.
Hell, if this man recruited me I'd play for him.
I'd almost be afraid not to play for him.
What size helmet does Vice wear? "Boykin"?!
Yeah. A tight end who blocks !!!! :--)
And looks like he's a backup for literally any position on offense if they go down. First name sounds almost biblical.
When this kid gets moved inside, it'll be amusing to read the analyses of the move by all the armchair coaches who criticized Beamer et al for doing the same...
Doing this every once in awhile is acceptable.
Doing it all the time isn't....
I assume you mean apply double-standards? Agree.
That's a spicy meatball
Don't you mean delicous, fluffy pancake?
Lecitus is another great addition to the Fuente All-Name team!!
Welcome to the family, Lecitus Maximus!
Great pick up. Love his motor, always looking to not only "hit" people, but finish them. This guy will be a 3-year starter somewhere. Go Hokies!
From now on, he shall be called Lecitus of Burg... resistance is futile, you will be assimilated
I LOVE how he gets his head on a swivel at the second level looking for a backside linebacker! That is the stuff that opens up cutback lanes!
I'm gonna go ahead and nickname him IHOP, since he is serving up pancakes all damn day.
What a great addition for the Hokies. I'm surprised I hadn't heard of him before.
Seems like a guy that could play as a true freshman.
Looks like a solid addition to the team. He had a pretty impressive offer list.
So, anybody know how to pronounce his first name?
wait for it...
*sigh* It's pronounced "Kevin"

I'm assuming there's a joke here that's going completely over my head. Can someone fill me in, or are you being serious?
Go to the search box in the upper right, and enter "how do you pronounce", and look for name pronunciation in previous posts. You'll figure it out.
Okay, I get the joke now, but I still want a real answer from somebody. Help a brother out?
You're hosed, sorry. I tried to get someone to tell me how to pronounce Zohn's name like a year ago and I still don't know because everyone loves this stupid joke. Now I just post pissed off gifs whenever someone makes this joke.

So like John, but with a Z.
Huh. How 'bout that. This whole time I thought it was pronounced Zone. Now I know.
Better than me. I thought it was Kevin. WAIT THAT'S A JOKE???
Ok that had me in stitches.......I am rolling. Something about kicking a dead horse just at the right time....,.
Uhhh ohhh sorry HOAT......
appropriate gif choice
It rhymes with John? I've been making an idiot of myself!
you will never get a real answer on TKP when you ask how to pronounce anything. It is always pronounced "Kevin"
On a related note, I think it's time someone created a revised version of the inside joke reference page
K'Vaughan ?
i don't know why anyone thinks this kid is a good fit for the team. Smith is a terribly generic name. ;)
