BIG thanks to the TKPers below this comment who walked me through how to properly embed this image!
Guards especially are not common early draft candidates. If he was a top-flight left tackle, that could be a different story. I'm not sure if NFL scouts would be very high on Wyatt anyway. We love him, but he definitely has deficiencies as evidenced by him being supplanted in the depth chart for portions of last year and this year. Whatever the reason for the depth chart issues, it doesn't look good for leaving early or being drafted at all.
I would not be surprised to see Teller an undrafted free agent after next year.
Bucky, Facyson, and Wyatt all need to come back for their senior years.
Bucky has been really inconsistent at times this year and had some pretty bad drops. Given that he's now a WR, he could use the extra year to both improve his hands and his route tree.
Brandon probably needs another to year to get back to his freshman level of hype. His injury and last year's struggles on the defense as a whole need to be overcome. Edited to add: But this season isn't over yet and if he has a stellar finish he could be a possibility. But, as others said, he wants to be a surgeon and needs all the schooling he can get.
Wyatt, and French can correct me here if this has changed, for as good as he is at run blocking really needs to work on his pass blocking. The NFL is a passing league and you need linemen who can keep your QB upright. Any liabilities in that area will be scrutinized with an electron microscope.
I don't like to knock players because I know they give their all for this team but losing Conte....well, you need to actually block someone for your loss to actually be felt :/
I'm in today after I get home.
ah yes, the old "duplicate, then elaborate"
Bowie would approve.
What industry are you in?
Pretty sure that bowls have a little bit of discretion choosing teams, so its not just based on record.
someone should put together a "How To TKP" post with pictures labeling all the buttons and detailed instructions on how to use them. Joe could sticky this somewhere visible. I'd do it, but my stuff usually looks like my 5 year old went crazy with MS paint and, honestly, TKP deserves better.
Exhibit A:
Classic Derrick Comedy
With the amount of play time a lot of our backups are getting this season I'm less worried honestly. I like to look at it less like we have to replace these guys, and more like another starter with different skill-sets will be brought to the limelight.

Teller should come back, few O Lineman go high draft early enrolled and Facyson still says he wants to be a doctor so not so sure he leaves early either.

I am also in this boat. If not, rest assured I would have joined already
Same here. Trying to decide whether to put the sticker on the back of my laptop, or on my car. Obviously, more people will see it on my car, but it's doubtful I'd be able to talk to them about the awesomeness of this website. Whereas on my computer I can give pitches to come check the site out to Hokie faithful....decisions decisions.
Yup. That's the way I read this. I think his assignment was two chips and then peel to the next level. He overcommits on chipping McLock's assignment, and that puts him out of position.
No, but I noticed it took you 4+ years to make an account. Welcome aboard chipmate.

I'm wondering if this year's team may be setting us up for expectations that
will be difficult to follow in year two under Fuente's leadership. In looking
over the roster I see some big shoes to fill based on attrition from senior
graduation to potential losses due to players leaving early for a shot at the
NFL. According to the way I'm seeing this we are subject to lose the following
players early to the NFL:
Isaiah Ford, Bucky Hodges, Brandon Facyson, Wyatt Teller
We are definitely losing the following seniors:
Augie Conte, Johathan McLaughlin, Woody Baron, Sam Rogers, Ken Ekanem, Nigel
Williams, Chuck Clark, DeWoun Green
Based on the above, we could be losing three starters on the O-Line. We could
also be losing three of our most productive skilled players in Ford, Hodges, and
Rogers. I'm not sure we have the type of talent on the current roster to replace
that kind of offensive output. The defense losing Clark, Ekanem, Williams,
Baron, and potentially Facyon is tough as well. We could potentially have about
8 players being considered for the NFL draft and that's a lot of talent to lose!
Am I being a little too pessimistic? If we do reach a 9 or 10 win season this
year do we take a step back to 7 or 8 wins next year before we see it back up
again? I'm really concerned about the loss at OL if Wyatt leaves early!

My wife will tell you I'm as tight as the bark on a tree but this is the best deal going.
The FUture is all good BUZZ so don't miss it.
