# | Where the Hokies come from: Virginia Tech's old recruiting approach appealing to new coach Yet of the top 10 in state this year it seems like we've offered all but the one that transferred from California? I agree with some of his argument that you aren't always going to offer all the top kids. Not good fits, not a position of need, multiple top 10 kids of the same position etc. but I think he's trying to understate how many top 10 kids we'll go after to lower expectations.

# | Where the Hokies come from: Virginia Tech's old recruiting approach appealing to new coach No player can be 2 years out of high school and jump to NFL. Fuente is saying he is not going to star/list chase kids, that just because some rating service thinks a kid is the 2nd best talent in the state he is not going to offer him unless he fits not only the football team but VT the school.
Seems like half of the recruits we are missing on have been on the defensive side of the ball where we don't have a brand new staff. We also retained zohn largely for his ties to the 757 and that's been a big miss so far too.
Hunter isn't coming for the big cookout this week and I believe is visiting florida (torrian) instead.
As for ricky slade i'm as hopeful as anyone, but not going to be too optimistic with a borderline 5 * kid.

# | Where the Hokies come from: Virginia Tech's old recruiting approach appealing to new coach Atlantic HS with the most NFL draft picks followed by the 757 schools. Interesting that Dematha Catholic has the most recruited players. Shows a high school coach who trusted our program, plus getting some well rounded individuals.
What strikes me is how successful our in state talent has been to winning. When we won games, it was because we landed good instate talent. Getting second bested in state has hurt us in the win column.

# | Where the Hokies come from: Virginia Tech's old recruiting approach appealing to new coach unless I am mistaken, he is not talking about players that go pro, rather about recruits that are going to flame out/transfer/be kicked off in 2 years because they either didn't fit with the program, the school, location or have character issues. Specifically I think he is saying that they are only offering and recruiting those out of the top ten that they think will excel and not simply because they are top ten.
He wants very low negative turnover.

# | Adonis Alexander and Houshun Gaines Reinstated, Will Miss Season Opener Against Liberty If I'm not mistaken, Tina Fey has said she didn't fit in and wasn't crazy about LOLUVA. Doubt seriously she'd be that animated at one of their games.

# | Where the Hokies come from: Virginia Tech's old recruiting approach appealing to new coach When you sign a guy and everybody is excited about him on signing day, and he's no longer with the team in two years, you did not do your program any good
Man I'm excited and opptomistic for the Feunte era but boy do I not agree with this statement. I'm sure my fellow TKPers could come up with a pretty impressive list of 2 year players.
Not counting the redshirt season, Michael Vick anyone?

# | OT (ish?) Josh Jackson's cousin one of the police officers killed in Baton Rouge. Nothing wrong with offering prayers and support for our Hokies I feel it would be more messed up for our community not to acknowledge this and turn a blind eye to it. It's real to Josh and the least we can do is pray for him and his family and wish them well.

# | OT (ish?) Josh Jackson's cousin one of the police officers killed in Baton Rouge. Yeah, I was kind of on the fence but after seeing it directly affect one of our players, I thought maybe we should all know. But if it devolves into a politics thread, I will really regret it.
I just started it Friday. im not a big sci fi buy but im into it! it came up as a suggested watch after I finished Graceland which I liked even though the story line got played out fast to me but oh well Netflix on the ipad is life when you are a single parent and your kid hogs the TV with the XBOX1 or cartoon network lol.

# | OT (ish?) Josh Jackson's cousin one of the police officers killed in Baton Rouge. I'm not an overly emotional person, but the picture of Montrell and his son hit me all in the feels. May he and the other 2 cops rest in peace. Thoughts and condolences to the Jackson family and the other 2 families as well.

# | OT (ish?) Josh Jackson's cousin one of the police officers killed in Baton Rouge. I was going to post something about this, but decided against it... I'm glad that someone felt bold enough to post it.
I don't want to go into the politics, but it is even more painful when something like this hits so close to home. Thoughts and prayers to him and his family.

# | OT (ish?) Josh Jackson's cousin one of the police officers killed in Baton Rouge. Simply nonsense. Sad that anybody had to die, but even sadder to know it was Jackson's relative.
It's all my 80's kid sci-fi movies in a TV show.
Well, I see that the MJO moves west to east through the northern hemisphere tropics as it circles the globe, which is opposite of the wind flow at the surface. I also see that it basically divides the globe in half as it goes, with one half drier, and the other half wetter (with serious updrafts).
One question:
Is there any other phenomenon that moves in the same direction, at a different speed, that your are aware of?
Another: I would think the presence of this MJO would greatly influence hurricane development (or strengthening). Is that the case? And conversely, would one feel safer knowing that the "dry" side is present over the Atlantic basin? Have there been definitive studies in this area?
Thanks!
Funny, and here I was thinking, why would anyone but a hs kid need a twitter account?
Dammit I saw this comment talking about a kid from my alma mater and got really excited just to be let down
Ahhhh the mjo! Sorry I wasnt entirely sure what you were referring to! Whatcha wanna know about it?
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Been trying to convince my wife to watch Narcos. Loved the first season
Kids can talk about which schools have offered them. Which of the top 10 do you think we have/haven't offered? Hunter, Williams, villain, laborn, garbutt, ewell, Crosby and matos just off the top of my head had offers. Seems like more than 6?
