Some Notes on Lamareon James Decommitment

"I felt like it was best for me, and I also feel like I rushed my commitment," James told recruit757 Sunday evening.'

James offered no further details about the schools currently recruiting him or what campus visits he might take now that he is considering other schools. Before his commitment to North Carolina, James had a prominent collection of college scholarship offers including Virginia Tech, Virginia, Michigan, Auburn, Pitt, East Carolina, Rutgers, and Nebraska.

Lamareon is close to Maury wide receiver KeAndre Lambert and there are whispers that they could decide to commit together. Lambert has a massive offer list and there are many duplicate schools between the two. Virginia Tech is seen as a favorite to land Lambert, and a commitment by both players to the Hokies would be a huge win for Zohn Burden, who recruits the area for Tech.

What a win that would be to grab both, especially with Penn State targeting Lambert hard.

Arkansas blew a 24-0 lead in the Belk Bowl.

Lambert and James are cousins, I believe.

Outside it's night time, but inside it's LeDay

It would be cooler if they both committed.

What is our record when Joe posts about recruits?

Never Forget #1 Overall Seed UVA 54, #64 UMBC 74

Better than when we post "[insert recruit's name] pls"

Joffrey, Cersei, Ilyn Payne, the Hound, Jeff Jagodzinski, Paul Johnson, Pat Narduzzi.

With our recent history of losing top Virginia players to out of state programs, it doesn't seem likely we would land Lambert. He has a very impressive offer list, and we are well behind those top programs in recruiting. If by some stroke of luck we do get him, that would be a huge for our program, especially if he drags along his basketball playing friend.

i vaguely remember seeing this video and laughing a lot, do you have a link?

my man! even better than i remembered

I had a major head tilt at the end of this video, I could not for the life of me figure out if this was real or a joke

"The Big Ten is always using excuses to cancel games with us. First Wisconsin. Then Wisconsin. After that, Wisconsin. The subsequent cancellation with Wisconsin comes to mind too. Now Penn State. What's next? Wisconsin?" -HorseOnATreadmill

Gonna have to find some more of these Mahalo videos

It's not an intentional joke. Mahalo was an old search engine that decided to try to become a video search engine with video "answers". They hired actors to just shoot tons of footage but the lack of any attention to accuracy, reshoots, or editing leads to these hilarious videos

Now finish up them taters; I'm gonna go fondle my sweaters.

If I ordered an old fashioned and someone gave me a pint of bourbon I wouldn't even be mad

"Not that many people order it any more"

Not surprising considering everyone who had one got liver failure

Where am I and what happened to last night? I don't understand, I ordered one old fashioned...

The comments on the video do not disappoint

The one that said the drink spilled because she put in too many bitters had me rolling

"The Big Ten is always using excuses to cancel games with us. First Wisconsin. Then Wisconsin. After that, Wisconsin. The subsequent cancellation with Wisconsin comes to mind too. Now Penn State. What's next? Wisconsin?" -HorseOnATreadmill

Yeah that's the one that cracked me up

Lol damn!

This will be forever the best 13 seconds clip...

LaMareon and KeAndre committing together would be a huge win for a class that up to this point is left wanting. Would be a huge win for Fuente and the staff to really get some players of note in.

And if LA's hinting they can nab Powell too? Huge power move for the Hokies.

Using 247's Class Calculator, and adding those three you mention, would at the moment give the Hokies 178 points. That would move us from 72 to 41.

which is still... not good. smaller class size matters, but i guess it would need to be seen how the numbers shake out

"Why gobble gobble chumps asks such good questions, I will never know." - TheFifthFuller

41 is a whole hell of a lot better than 70.

i agree, but 41 still isn't good. having said that, going from terrible to barely serviceable in a key area of weakness is what puts some teams or players over the hump, so it is a big deal to go from 72 to 41.

in terms of ranking, class size matters. it remains to be seen whether they'd just be tacked onto what appears to be a smaller class and the numbers work later, or whether some of the commits we have now would no longer be takes if these three commit, etc etc etc.

"Why gobble gobble chumps asks such good questions, I will never know." - TheFifthFuller

We can say 41 isn't good enough, but Wisconsin had a few classes in the high 30s/low 40s the last few years and I'd take Wisconsin's team over ours every day of the week.

I wouldn't be surprised if the difference between #20 and #41 is similar to the difference between #15 and #20 based on avg star rating.

the math checks out here

I'd just focus more on average player rating since the class size is somewhat kneecapped by scholarship numbers.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

Who is this powell I keep seeing mentioned?

Directions from Blacksburg to whoville, go north till you smell it then go east until you step in it

Hot damn would that be nice
