Most of the best players in roanoke are transferring to RC next year, including Brown. There are a handful that we are recruiting
What is really interesting about our Top 20 ranking is that the composite average has us right about the same spot. There isn't any "fools gold" when you see the ranking (a lot of schools shoot up in the rankings because of the 247 total). We currently #3 in the ACC in both the "total" ranking and based on the average composite.
North Cross had another recruit who committed to PSU then flipped to UNC after Franklin got fired. I went to school with the kids dad, so I've been watching him grow up on social media. Pretty good athlete who I think could be a solid ACC contributor along the way. I liked his Jr. year film, but did think it was telling that he didn't follow Franklin to VT.
Anyway... I say all that to say there are some athletes at that school now.
Hey UVA......catch you on the "flip" side!
Eg's comment seemed positive, so I'm going to assume it . That cancel's out Soup's potentially negative comment, so my hopes are 100% un-tempered.
Wow good for her! That's quite a jump.
Can I safely assume they still have Georgia ahead of us? There has to be something going on here that is beyond just SEC bias. I mean this is beyond absurd. At least, unlike in football, the ratings don't really matter (within reason) and things will be settled in actual games. But are the people doing these polls that stupid or biased or what?
Tyrod Taylor has been signed to his seventh team in his 15 years as a professional NFL quarterback. The Green Bay Packers.
Hurry up and hang the banner
Hmm, between Soup and Eg, now my hopes are tempered.
So he's transferring from North Cross to Roanoke Catholic?
Not that Roanoke has really ever been D1 hot bed, but when I was there Catholic and North Cross were not considered good at all...like 1-10 records were the norm....
Fleming, PH would have D1 guys every few years and the county schools more D2 than anything but the privates were playing mostly just to say they had teams at that point...
Always fun to steal from little brother.
My coworker knows the kid/family, but with what he's told me, my excitement will be tempered. Hope he pans out.
I know it's early, but who cares... We are now in the top 20 recruiting classes
Flip ya for real.
No idea how they can justify any of this. Hopefully it doesn't matter and we can win when we need to. Team seems to be playing pretty good ball right now.
I still can't believe Indiana did what they did. It is truly insane that they won a championship in this environment.
My buddy went last April and I feel like he undersold it. Everything I've seen is it's a fantastic trip...once you get there. That's the difficult part. But the courses are supposed to be chef's kiss.
Tagging along on my brothers buddy trip to Cabot Cape Breton this July. Anyone else been and have insights what I'm getting myself into?
Right now the plan is Evening round on the short course when we get in on Thursday night followed by 36 Friday and 36 Saturday (links and cliffs once each per day with caddies). I know the courses are elite but as someone who can't hit the ball low to save my life, I'm nervous about that sea breeze
My neighbor Paul, has been fishing typically hard, generally 3-4 hours, two guys, starting at sun-up. I say hard because these guys fish 120 days a year, so I excuse them from the dawn to dusk on the weekend crowd.
He's found a couple of small bluefish, and usually several rockfish in the 18-24" range while fishing for trout and reds, neither of which have shown up yet this year.
My foray into mechanica is again postponed due to the failing health of my mechanic, so my engine is still not ready to go, but we'll get to it when he's feeling better. Until then, I cope with the myriad of absurd demands in the world of the increasingly elderly. And of course, cheering on the small ball teams in the postseason.
Always a comedy show to watch the LOLUVA fans in times like this...
If it's a low 3* they picked up somewhere they will dig and dig until they find the highest ranking (regardless of the service) and let everyone know they got a borderline 4*.
If it's a composite 4* they lost (especially to their big brother) they talk about how he was really a 3* (by the lowest service they can find) and they really have solid depth at the position anyway.
Finally, even though CJF has out recruited Tony Elliot, both at the high school level and with the transfer portal, they say it doesn't matter because, like Indiana, they are putting a premium on the average age of their players and, again like Indiana, that is what is most important these days.
They have a core of returnees and have shored up some from 27 transfers. They won't be bad this year, but we'll probably be favored by year's end, even if slightly, as long as we develop as we all hope we will.
To malprop Boris the Blade- "always side with productivity"
No idea if it is going to work out for UVA or not, but I predict good number of teams are going to fall on their faces trying to replicate Indiana's success.
I think Richard Johnson said they're trying to follow the Indiana blueprint by focusing on portaling older guys who have proven production, even if they are undersized or whatnot.
Definitely easier said than done.
Yeah, I knew North Cross had several lineman go D1 --including a couple to VT (Hammer, dont remember the other), but after looking it up their team records have been consistently good to excellent for at least 10 years.
Big change from what I remember...now I feel old.
