Illinois Hokie's Recent Comments
Seems like we're splitting hairs here, focusing on where the face to face happened. The point is still valid that other programs seem to be out-hustling us on the recruiting trail.

# | Which Redshirt or True freshman do you most look forward to seeing in action next year? Oh yeah, we're gonna be a sophomore-laden team next season. We've even found a way to make our senior QB effectively a sophomore.

# | Which Redshirt or True freshman do you most look forward to seeing in action next year? I don't see a wholesale replacement of upperclassmen by freshmen like we saw this season, just because all the freshmen that earned starting spots this season are gonna be that much better.
Based on the interview Scot gave between that game and UVA, I guarantee you, he wasn't celebrating much of anything in the booth.
Right, again, but, you still aren't engaging the actual argument that was taking place. You focused in on HokieBengal's avatar and ignored his actual argument that Frank's lack of in homes is hurting our recruiting efforts. It was just really tangential.
This in home visit issue is a concern, because it either indicates a lack of effort or a lack of ability to make in homes for some other reason. Either is concerning.
Well, yeah, but none of that is happening now. He's saying Frank doesn't do enough in homes during recruiting. There's actually some data to back that up, which he sourced. So talking about the wild rumors that flew during the season in response to a specific leveled criticism about recruiting is kind of a non sequitur.
You're putting that all on Brewer? Seemed more on the O line to me.
I read that a few times in the game thread. I don't know nearly as much about hoops as I do about football.
Where were the lapses in fundamentals? I know we had a lot of turnovers, but to me it looked like WF was using their redonkulous size advantage for leverage to force us into some bad passes. Same with the rebound differential; you're gonna lose that battle when you're giving up a foot of height on the other guy going up for the ball.
From the most casual of basketball fans, what were the problems with fundamentals you saw against Wake?

# | Which Redshirt or True freshman do you most look forward to seeing in action next year? Very carefully
I love what I'm reading, with one pretty serious exception.
Someone needs to inform Dwayne, New York strip > sirloin.

# | Which Redshirt or True freshman do you most look forward to seeing in action next year? Conte, Teller, Osterloh, Clark and McGlock could be something special.

# | Which Redshirt or True freshman do you most look forward to seeing in action next year? Fingers, toes and anything else I have multiple of crossed that this young man qualifies.
Oops, let me clarify because I just realized it sounded like I was advocating a permanent switch. What I mean to say is, should Dadi or Ken go down, I think moving Marshall makes the most sense. It would probably help his draft stock, too, playing both positions.
EDIT: I never knew Jim Weaver was in Get Smart.
Roll a saving throw vs petrification.
Someone please Photoshop that shit.

# | Which Redshirt or True freshman do you most look forward to seeing in action next year? Austin Clark on offense. I think Clark and Teller are gonna be NASTY on a Stacy Searels line.
Mook on defense. I think he finds the field and become heir apparent to Kendall Fuller as our next great defensive back.

# | Which Redshirt or True freshman do you most look forward to seeing in action next year? IMO, the availability of Kendrick Holland and Jaylen Bradford plus having three legit receiving threats at TE keeps Strohman on D.
I shall risk sounding the P5 elitest here.
If a kid is going to commit to ODU, chances are he's the level of player that's getting mid-major and FCS offers. Does it suck that Zohn might be gone right after they sign? Depends entirely on how Zohn handles it with his recruits. But it isn't like these kids could have gone to Alabama or Oregon if Burden left now. With or without Burden, ODU is still going to be one of the better , on the rise mid-majors in the country and the kids who commit there are also going to get a pretty good education. So if true, the move doesn't strike me as dishonest or sleazy. It means Zohn believes in the program and the school even if he's not going to be there.
Or to get indigestion over it. Thankfully it appears none of his targets are wavering in their verbal (knock on wood) but competing programs had all the time in the world to call up our recruits and say, "Hey, I noticed your guy's in Texas now..."
This isn't a knock on AMo. Business is business, and aTm isn't gonna do unto AMo as we are (hypothetically) doing unto Zohn. But if we're embracing the rumor, we've got a tale of two attitudes here: "Opportunity knocks, and I'm off and up out," vs "Getting the call from the bigs, but asking to get the last out in the bottom of the ninth for your AAA club." One sounds like a decidedly more Hokie mindset than the other.
We might fall up in this is all I'm saying.
I'm definitely not claiming #sources or anything, I've heard it mentioned a couple times on here, TSL and 247. It makes sense, but could be completely off the mark.
Right now I'm watching to see Buzz coach. I'll start paying attention to Ws and Ls next season.
Do we know why?
This is troubling to me. During the final push for Sweat, I get that Frank couldn't visit because of his throat surgery. But to never visit the top recruit on your board is just mind boggling.
Do we know who Frank did in homes with this cycle? I know you said to check 247 but I couldn't find a page specific to Frank's recruiting. (Admittedly, I don't use that site much.)
