Our Future looks bright....

Sorry for the blatant positivity, but I guess that I don't share all of the doom and gloom that is being represented by some.
Sure, I share in the disappointment, but I expected some issues this year.
(Expectations)

So...onto the positive:
Stanford, as noted in another post, had an unbelievable day yesterday-made the ESPN ticker with his 171 receiving yards.
Knowles is getting better, and we get Byrn and Myers back. But wait! There's more: Bradshaw, Phillips, Holland, Harrison are on their way. There will be some fierce competition at the WR position.
Malleck will be back, and with Cline's experience this year and a year in the weight room, we will have some legitimate TE threats.
We get 4/5 starting lineman back, an add Wyatt Teller after a redshirt year, and others at Tech spending this entire year being COACHED by Grimes, and the Fab-5 chomping at the bit to get to Blacksburg.
The Hokies will have an honest competition at QB next year-may the best QB win the starting position. But there will also be a #2, and #3!..... When has that happened at Tech?

Sure, Defense will have it's losses-can't ignore those, but......Bud Foster. Need I say more?
We seemed stocked on the D-line with more coming...(Tip of the hat to Walker and Nnadi, please?)
Our Defensive ends will be deep.
We just may have to invent a new position to keep Dadi on the field-I like 'Assassin' myself.
Our secondary.....It's 'DBU' right? 2-star, 5-star....it don't matter. Come to VT and you will be an 'All-Star.'
I'm waiting to see which LB's decide to join our defense, but we've got some waiting in the wings as well.

AJ Hughes is a sophomore......soon to be joined by the SS. Santamaria......

And all of these Hokies will get coached up by our new offensive staff, which, given time, I am confident will get the results that most Hokie fans will appreciate.

Not to be too Pollyanna, but disappointed?-yeah, but throwing in the towel?-Hell no.
We've got a season to finish, and try and finish strong.
A bowl game to go to. (so sorry uva.)

P.S. If you don't think our future recruits don't read all this stuff, you are crazy.
Get back to supporting our current and future Hokies, and have some fun doing it.
I know I'm already looking forward to surprising Miami next week.

Go Hokies!
