So you're saying pulling a muscle from sneezing is better than snarting?
Problem is, many of them believe they can go pro if only they had a little better situation. Somewhere where they can be valued for the "God given talents" they so fervently believe they have been gifted with. I guess the really smart ones are a bit more realistic, but are starting to realize the money's likely to be much better and easier to earn in college NIL days and think about how to maximize that to help start their life.
Yeah, I'm not sure. Hopefully the market adjusts or has adjusted (I have no idea how much any of these student athletes get paid). Hopefully there are appropriate regulations put in place soon. Otherwise, there will be a bunch of farm teams and a then a handful of programs with dumb money that will pay for the best 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th year players.
Flip side of this is Longwood and Radford started at 830 this morning.
So much this....Notre Dame pitched 10 pitchers, 8 of which pitched 2/3rds of an inning or less.
It doesn't have the legendary status of others because we won that game handily, but i feel like it has to be a top 10 hokies play of the modern era
If spending money on transfers is more valuable than spending it on HS recruits, won't the market adjust to account for this, and transfers will start getting bigger bags? Sounds like it should normalize itself.
I guess the concern is that we are in the early stages and we might be on the wrong side while UVA is on the right side. Idk though, there is still a ton of talent coming out of HS that is good to have in your program
That particular play is amazing to watch to this day. I just sit there dumbfounded at how a guy drags an adult of that size, that far, and appears to weigh "nothing", while others are pursuing him. And,.........he still RMFW's himself into the endzone.
Thats a whole other level of human phenomenon.
But how many of these transfer-based programs have failed? Also, does Indiana actually count with how many transfers came from JMU?
I do think it's possible and may even become more normal with NCAA football becoming the middle-ground between XFL and NFL. If players are just free agents, then maybe culture won't matter at all and it's all about who has the experience and fit for a particular scheme.
I'm also trying to convince myself of this, really. If I'm wrong, then we are wasting money on high school recruits and UVA has the winning strategy with potentially deeper pockets.
You could argue that it's easier with transfers since they've already gone through the high school to college transition which is a much more drastic change than going from one college to another. They're also a little older so you'd hope there's a bit more maturity and career-minded focus involved.
Are you being held hostage?
Seems crazy to me that was 16 years ago. I miss watching him play.
You ain't wrong. I was at that game and can still see that second TD pass in my mind's eye.
Pitt bounces Wake 7-4 over night in a game that nobody (probably) stayed up to watch since it started after 10pm. Will face FSU at 7pm on Friday.
I don't believe we are safe without winning the tournament, even though a win over UNC would definitely improve thing way more than last night's win.
I don't count any chickens before they hatch. Win today and I think you can guarantee a bid. Without that, I'll be on pins and needles until our name is called on the selection show.
NCAA needs to enact the MLB rule for minimum number of batters faced coming out of the bullpen. The relentless pitching changes are ridiculous
#TX2VT2: Messing with Texas
Fantastic work my dude!
That's what is sounding like. The room seems to be hobbled or not impressing. LBs had to take RB snaps in the spring game, that should say something.
I think you can say. That the hokies are officially in
I've done a couple hokies baseball games that went 4 hours
Hokies close it out 17-10. VT is back in action on FRIDAY against UNC at 3pm
you could hear the crowd groaning when the last pitching chance was made
I also can't recall the last time i stayed engage in a game that went 4 hours... not since the MLB pitch clock
All of the best transfers were once high school recruits. Someone has to be the first school to give a talented player his first snaps. Why not us?
For every FSU 2023 there's another FSU 2024.
