I believe we are planning ahead, and looking at what we need to when this internet fad passes by. If enough people complain they will probably but a band aid on it and try to pass it off as the next great thing. Kinda like with the ACC network. /s
Nope not the silent2018 commit but a huge get. The one we are waiting on for 2018 is acting like a 16 year old and playing games but the 2017 silent commit is still strong
Agreed. Probably only a 1 in 10 chance even with his leg, but way better than the odds of getting a TD there. The realistic choice was punt and play for the tie or try the field goal. Plus, that would have been a Hokie highlight for all time if it gone through.
Also worth noting, we've secured commitments from Devante Smith and Sean Savoy, two others who shined at the Centreville Nike Open regional camp. There are two more on that list we need: Daniel George and Slade.
With the almost guaranteed 5 year cycle, were currently replacing 3 starters with this class. McFadden also has flex with his R's year so I think there might be one more big name
Beamer let Joey kick from that far because he's hit them before. He has a hell of a boot. We were far more likely to get 3 there than 7 with how we were playing.

As my wife (didn't go to VT but is a fan through me) said at the end "such a good guy"
That's a good point.
Was it really 9? I thought it was less.
That was a real head scratcher last season. It was up there with the 67 yard field goal vs. Duke for me.
why redshirt him when you can put him in to throw a total of 9 passes in a season?
I'm no QB guru, but one thing that stood out to me is that he is very poised in the pocket and he is always looking downfield to throw even if he is scrambling a bit. He isn't just a guy that runs as soon as there is a little bit of pressure.
He still has 2 more years of HS left. He seems promising.
phew, no players on the tickets who could potentially be kicked off the team before said game...
Right.
Lawson is a talented guy, but Fuente has even said that he needs to adjust to college life and not put too much pressure on himself to be a starter. I think Fuente wants to redshirt Lawson this year to allow him to develop, get to know the playbook, etc. This time next year will be his 3rd year in the program and he SHOULD make a run at the starting job.
Competition is a good thing. We should have a few guys competing for the #1 job.

# | On Eve of Fall Camp, Justin Fuente Remains Tight-Lipped on QB Battle, Dishes on WR Depth 2 + 1, that took some google searching. I am definitely old enough but still never heard of them, not my style.
It is believed by 247 crew that Ellis was the 2018 silent commit.
Ouch, Happy Hour did a number on you. Please only do that at home...

# | Hokies' Staff "Got What They Wanted" in 2018 QB DeJuan Ellis' Commitment Yeah, I don't understand this constant obsession about whether or not Lawson will transfer based on every QB commit. I get that for VT, QB recruiting was very tenuous for a while, but at the moment we have a deep bench of highly touted guys. At one point, sure, Lawson seemed to be the heir apparent and the best QB recruit we had gotten in a long while, and it was a big deal because he was a Miami flip and we were basically a complete patchwork at QB then. But since that time, with Evans, Jackson, Hooker, and now Ellis, it seems that we are continually recruiting great guys at this position. If Lawson transfers, he transfers. It's not like that's automatically a death knell for the program.
Are we counting Durkin?
What, no Usain Bolt to wide receiver posts? Unless the man has a rocket for an arm too, I don't think he could ever make as much in the NFL as he is doing what he is doing. But it would be nice to ponder to the possibilities.
Now this guy: Bob Hayes who could play doing Bob Hayes things.
So how many "QBs coming out of high school" do we have on the roster right now? And how many at any given time over the last few years? Sounds like another good summer thought project.
(I'm talking Sam, Travon, Bucky...was Stroman? This is the level of reach I'm going for)
Tennessee- L. I think it'll be close, I think Bud can come up with something to shut down their passing game and force them to rely on Dobbs' legs and Hurd/Kamara BUT I think they have the talent to pull it out.
SiriusXM's College Sports Nation did their camp tour from Knoxville yesterday, and I got the impression that there is actually some worry about UT's WRs. At this point in the year I know nothing about UT, but that was just the impression I got listening to them.
It was pretty clear early on that Koma was a great get. I hadn't heard of him before he committed to KeyPlay, Rivals had him as unranked but 247 gave him three stars. But since then it's been clear he's a five-star-get-after-it-talent at the journalist position.
Not as iconic as him eating a knuckle sandwich
Hahaha I noticed that as well. I wondered if maybe they had a little personal rivalry and #4 caught him flat footed and decided to put him on his ass
I believe you are wrong, hope you are right. :-) Edit- in regard to 2018 commit.
