No, but there's no way you can suspend someone without the media noticing. Would make more sense to just come out and say it then to let people speculate and ask you about it later

Maybe not with the media, but he is very forthcoming in letters to his mother.

You would think is a joint decision between Foster and Fuente. Of course fans love stirring the pot with rumors. I'm sure they will hash it all out soon. I hope the seeds of this rumor don't stem from the Beckett situation. Hopefully AA will roll out there with the team by the Clemson game. That would be dope. If not, weed be in trouble.

Whatever it is, they better get it under control or it could prove to be a chronic problem. These are the type of issues that could resin-ate to future classes. Fuente needs to act like the proper chief he is, but do we really want him to nickle and dime every little infraction with suspensions? If he does, then perhaps all we have are pipe dreams of filling the trophy case any time soon.

Not exactly like Fuente is known to light up the joint at press conferences. Usually some coach speak and enough crumbs to glean some insight and that's it.

I don't have any sauces but I don't think so. I'm surprised we haven't heard anything from the team regarding these suspensions. That's why I'm thinking this isn't that big of a big deal.

probably violated team rules...Fuente mentioned last season that the coaches want to instill a team atmosphere and not have individuals missing meetings, missing practices, etc....

Wasn't Adonis suspended for a game or two for this last year also? If so, I am surprised that a second infraction would not result in more than a two game suspension.

I think most are assuming its a team rules thing. If he got busted, it would have been announced similarly to how it played out last year with him and Gaines.

CB Adonis Alexander did not travel with the #Hokies to ECU. Reason is "not living up to standards of the team," per VT spox. Release soon.— Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) September 15, 2017

Supposedly two other starters as well. No concrete #sauces but they were right about him earlier and there is nothing to be Gaine-d by posting any other information.

I did see where there were mentions of other suspensions but from what I could tell those would be served next weekend. Although, Gaines isn't a starter.

The rumor on Reddit was that he was accused of sexual assault, but there was text message evidence that it was consensual. For some reason this evidence was enough to convince law enforcement to NOT arrest/charge Revis, but it was not admissible in the student council.
So, take it for what it's worth...

Wasn't comparing the situations, just saying he's putting himself in a situation where he'll have go the juco route. If he goes pro, odds are with his prior history to date, not one team would touch him no matter what the draft boards say. Just my opinion.

Don't forget Josh Gordon and that lineman that had his twitter or something hacked on draft day and it was posting pictures of him smoking weed out of gas mask.

So who is the back up? Or does someone move over to CB?
Man, it is really disappointing to see kids repeatedly making these mistakes. Hopefully he learns from this episode. Adonis has the size to make it to the next level, he just needs to the work-ethic and attitude to make it there.

Godammit, Adonis Alexander.
I know there's a bunch of little chicks in here that think, "Weed... What's the big deal?"
However, if you have a chance at the golden ticket, and all you have to is not smoke weed, but you still just gotta smoke weed, maybe it is a big deal.

Well here we go again. Losing two players in a week with more possibly coming. Its clear football and school arent priorities for some of this crew. That half ass game last week was no fluke. Luckily ECU cant play dead, but come ACC play, we'll start getting wrecked. Bud's D's can go from sugar to shit real fast when we start losing guys. A season is rough enough, we dont need suspensions.

The story that I saw that accompanied the video is that they convinced him to go bungee jumping blind folded. Must have put it on for the "trip" to the location to do the jump.
Edit: I'll drink later. I need my coffee 1st.

I hope the defense's performance sent a message to Alexander. With or without him Tech will play tough defense. The ball is in his court. Clean up your act and join the rest of the team.

You mean....play tough defense after allowing 17 points?
I'm glad the defense got their act together, but allowing 17 points in the first quarter to any of the ACC teams (maybe except UVA) will not yield the kind of results we want. They stepped up their game, but I'd hate to see a situation where it becomes too little - too late.

It's been like this since last year. Luckily Rod was able to get us back in the mix in some of those games but others like GT and Syracuse we couldn't shake off the first half rust. I don't know how we get these guys to come out and play the full 4 quarters but it's frustrating to watch. We let Clemson and Arkansas get up on us early too before we decided to actually play some ball. You can't do that against elite teams.

"We will continue to evaluate that throughout the week and see kind of how it goes," Fuente said. "I would stand by my statement in terms of our expectations for Adonis. He knows them. And he needs to meet them. We'll evaluate it as we go through the week."
Not VT Scoop, but blurb in the Roanoke Times about the situation.
Virginia Tech junior cornerback Adonis Alexander has been ruled out versus Old Dominion on Saturday, according to Defensive Coordinator Bud Foster. The No. 13 Hokies played without Alexander in their game versus East Carolina due to suspension, and it appears the 6-foot-3 inch 197-pound corner will be ruled out for the same reason once again.

Yeah...
I also heard some folks won't be playing against ODU either. But I have no #sauces...take it for what it is worth, which isn't much.
Seems to be too much smoke for this not to be a thing, but pretty weird not to mention it all week
I mean, Fuente isn't exactly usually very forthcoming with the media.
No, but there's no way you can suspend someone without the media noticing. Would make more sense to just come out and say it then to let people speculate and ask you about it later
Maybe not with the media, but he is very forthcoming in letters to his mother.
Yea you'd think they would be more blunt.
Coach sure is putting up a smoke screen on this one

I hope the seeds of this rumor don't stem from the Beckett situation. Hopefully AA will roll out there with the team by the Clemson game. That would be dope. If not, weed be in trouble.
that's just dope

You spelled resonate wrong....
I don't see any resin to kick Adonis when he is down...
We don't want the season to go up in smoke.
That was some strong stuff
They might just want to weed them out silently.
I think they do be something going on here.
Bud seemed to be really high on this kid...
And vice-versa.
A particular favorite in my coozie collection! Leg!
where do i buy this
Not exactly like Fuente is known to light up the joint at press conferences. Usually some coach speak and enough crumbs to glean some insight and that's it.
typical coach speak, leaving us grasping at stems
All I know is that: In BUD we trust!!!!
Ford!
That's how this works, right??!!
Grass ain't always greener on the other side.
If he is suspended from the team entirely they would have said something by now. This might just be a game or quarter?
I've heard two games. This one and ODU for Adonis. Rumors are there are a couple more guys that will have to sit out next week as well.
Obviously any suspension is concerning, but are you hearing big impacts by the others being required to sit? Thanks.
I don't have any sauces but I don't think so. I'm surprised we haven't heard anything from the team regarding these suspensions. That's why I'm thinking this isn't that big of a big deal.
Seems like Fuente is keeping team rules related suspensions quiet these days. Beckett's was publicized because of his arrest.
Was my thinking as well. Although I'd be surprised if it wasn't linked to the Beckett situation at least slightly.
probably violated team rules...Fuente mentioned last season that the coaches want to instill a team atmosphere and not have individuals missing meetings, missing practices, etc....
littering and..
"CANDY BARS!!!"
Wasn't Adonis suspended for a game or two for this last year also? If so, I am surprised that a second infraction would not result in more than a two game suspension.
I think most are assuming its a team rules thing. If he got busted, it would have been announced similarly to how it played out last year with him and Gaines.
...sigh...seriously??
Its not much, but here's the team's statement:
Probably going to get some good Saturday morning conditioning in.
Coaches are not allowed to use punitive workouts beyond normal workouts anymore.
That's a damn shame.
Fair point. Not being arguemative, what's considered a "punitive" workout? Would that be any type of workout set because a player broke teams rules?
Call it a "regular" Saturday workout sense he's unable to travel with the team.
I usually work out my punitives along with my late and quads.
Good call. Never skip punitive day.
Football is slowly being ruined, coaches cant make players run after they F up anymore.
Cardale Jones outed Urban on Twitter after tosu was curb stomped by Oklahoma last week. It was FUNNY!
urban ain't running me on Sunday anymore!
Why was Bitter was 31 minutes too late for the proper tweet annoucement?
Cause he was Bitter about the suspension.
Supposedly two other starters as well. No concrete #sauces but they were right about him earlier and there is nothing to be Gaine-d by posting any other information.
I did see where there were mentions of other suspensions but from what I could tell those would be served next weekend. Although, Gaines isn't a starter.
Especially since gleaning such information is such an up-Hill battle.
Official statement:
Conduct unbecoming a Hokie...sigh.
Quit harshing my buzz, Adonis.
This could pose a problem for us, hope our offense goes in big on them.
I hope he turns around, we need everyone's abilities out there
You gotta be kidding me...at this rate he's going to follow Reavis on Last Chance U.
Completely different situations. Not to mention if Alexander is forced out he'll probably just go pro.
We never knew Reavis' situation. Did we?
No, but I think we can infer that it wasn't drug related.
The rumor on Reddit was that he was accused of sexual assault, but there was text message evidence that it was consensual. For some reason this evidence was enough to convince law enforcement to NOT arrest/charge Revis, but it was not admissible in the student council.
So, take it for what it's worth...
Wasn't comparing the situations, just saying he's putting himself in a situation where he'll have go the juco route. If he goes pro, odds are with his prior history to date, not one team would touch him no matter what the draft boards say. Just my opinion.
You're joking right? If a team thinks he has the talent, they are going to draft him. See Mixon, Joe; Tyreek Hill, etc.
Don't forget Josh Gordon and that lineman that had his twitter or something hacked on draft day and it was posting pictures of him smoking weed out of gas mask.
Laremy tunsil. One in a long line of unfortunate Ole Miss incidents
that incident actually kicked off a lot of what's going on now, interestingly enough
Because Tunsil basically came out and said that he took money and other benefits from Ole Miss alumni and staff after all that happened.
I love how spade is trying and failing to keep his shit together. This sketch is classic
I rewatched the scene after these were posted...Applegate is hiding behind her hair the whole time. She can't even handle it.
There's one with will Ferrell in a hot tub and all of the actors crack. Its absolutely hilarious
So who is the back up? Or does someone move over to CB?
Man, it is really disappointing to see kids repeatedly making these mistakes. Hopefully he learns from this episode. Adonis has the size to make it to the next level, he just needs to the work-ethic and attitude to make it there.
He didn't learn from last year!
I think this suspension is all a sham. Fuente is doing this as a preventative measure to keep Adonis from the Purple Haze that is ECU.
Godammit, Adonis Alexander.
I know there's a bunch of little chicks in here that think, "Weed... What's the big deal?"
However, if you have a chance at the golden ticket, and all you have to is not smoke weed, but you still just gotta smoke weed, maybe it is a big deal.

Step back from the ledge.
Jump..we've got you covered and harness secured
I am dying to learn the backstory of this gif.
I think they were convinced they were going bungee jumping for a bachelor party.
The story that I saw that accompanied the video is that they convinced him to go bungee jumping blind folded. Must have put it on for the "trip" to the location to do the jump.
Edit: I'll drink later. I need my coffee 1st.
Please let him be back for Clemson, please please please please!
I hope the defense's performance sent a message to Alexander. With or without him Tech will play tough defense. The ball is in his court. Clean up your act and join the rest of the team.
You mean....play tough defense after allowing 17 points?

I mean, we did let Notre Dame go up 17-0 on us last year...
It's been like this since last year. Luckily Rod was able to get us back in the mix in some of those games but others like GT and Syracuse we couldn't shake off the first half rust. I don't know how we get these guys to come out and play the full 4 quarters but it's frustrating to watch. We let Clemson and Arkansas get up on us early too before we decided to actually play some ball. You can't do that against elite teams.
I get your point but literally all last season we sucked in the first quarter before taking over games in the 2nd and 3rd
Holding true to the rumors, Adonis won't be playing this weekend against ODU.
VT Scoop has the Story, apparently confirmed by BUD foster, I'm not able to get into the site at the moment
"We will continue to evaluate that throughout the week and see kind of how it goes," Fuente said. "I would stand by my statement in terms of our expectations for Adonis. He knows them. And he needs to meet them. We'll evaluate it as we go through the week."

Per VTScoop:

No direct quote from Foster, however- just states "according to" as I see nothing has been officially released by the school.
http://www.roanoke.com/hokies/sports/football/hokies-notes-alexander-lik...
Sounds like he will be out, but the coaches have left some wiggle room if they change their minds.
