Slightly more positive than the statement when Lawson transferred.
Fuck Matt Ryan.
This is what Fuente said about Minor's transfer:
"We support him. I want him to be happy and successful. This is a lot of work and he put in a lot of work. He worked really hard. We support him to go and have a better chance to get on the field in a bigger role or whatever it is that he's looking for. We fully support him and wish him the best and we're willing to help him in any way."
I sat in the player guest section behind Raymon and Travon at the bowl game two years ago in Annapolis while they redshirted. Raymon in particular was engaging, well spoken, and in no way acting entitled. He took the time to interact with fans and take pictures throughout the game. He was excited to be a Hokie and I'm sorry it couldn't have ended differently for him at VT. I wish him nothing but the best and hope he does well elsewhere.

# | Teel Time, ACC Athletic Directors to vote on 8 or 9 game conference schedule Friday. "Tech athletic director Whit Babcock said in a Q&A with Virginian-Pilot blogger Sean Labar recently that "we need to look at our near-term schedule and see if there are games we need to tweak or move."
Also agree with the article stating the choice between ODU and ECU, which are scheduled In the same seven seasons, may boil down to playing in the 757 or not. ECU has done nothing for recruiting. Hope we thrash them this year and get out.
I don't know them well, more of in passing and mutual knowledge through Benedictine haven't talked to him or them in 3 years at least. But he was a great kid at Benedictine and his family was always so nice and seemed to be a great family.
Those that haven't seen it can watch it on Netflix. Still love that movie.
If you know his family (and I have known his Dad for over 20 years) then you will agree that he certainly would have zero sense of entitlement. Sorry to see it end for him at VT.
Guess I should get around to watching it now...
Thanks to Oherro on Twitter for showing me this.
Saw that too, good for him, I expected him to turn up somewhere after he graduated last year with a year of eligibility yet.
As someone who knows his family and him and who saw him play for my alma mater this is just not true. You don't know him or his work ethic.
Edit: Like Joe said his skill set may not be there but it's not due to some entitlement complex, or that he is due it.
Saw today where Caleb is on the Norfolk State Roster.
Our games are Carolina (makes since), then in no order:, Patriots, Steelers, Giants and Green Bay that are always on the channel.
Yeah, I live in upstate NY, get Jets & Giants but no Tyrod. Someone on here tried to explain it to me last year, but still baffles me.
Yep, and use an iPad and iPhone and a laptop. Late night back at the firehouse in Ohio we would kill some kids at old school COD.
It was a commentary on rookie contracts and guaranteed money for players who wash out after a year or two.
Austin Clark, Dwayne Lawson, Raymon Minor...The new staff hates 4 star recruits! haha jk just proves my point stars don't matter! Best of luck to all of these and other young men!

# | Teel Time, ACC Athletic Directors to vote on 8 or 9 game conference schedule Friday. How does it make it more difficult to book teams? The SEC is in the same boat (which means more ACC-SEC games) and the option to schedule an ACC team as an OOC opponent is always on the table.
The only way I see 9+1 is if ESPN puts pressure on the ACC. But if the plan is for just 40 games on the ACCN (~3 per week), I don't see having enough content being an issue.
Hate to see anyone go, but this is a... Minor setback.
I'm no expert and I'm sure there will be some Richmond residents that will slam this but I'm beginning to become skeptical over the level of competition in the Richmond area. Northern VA and the VA beach area are known commodities when it comes to talent. I'm sure there are good programs in Richmond but dang...we've messed up on our evaluations the last few years.
Wow, hate to see this. What is up with a lot of these highly-touted Richmond area guys in recent years? Caleb, Fisher, now Minor all leaving the program.

# | Teel Time, ACC Athletic Directors to vote on 8 or 9 game conference schedule Friday. 9 games also means an unbalanced conf schedule.
8+2 is the best compromise option for all involved. VT fans should hope it goes 8+2 because VT/VT fans would absolutely be getting the long end of the stick with 8+2.
PSA/OT: COD4 is being re-released on the Xbox One (and PS4) this fall and I'd love to whip some ass with y'all
