he eliminated unc supposedly and is down to vt, aub and fsu. i'm calling he has those 3 hats and still pulls out the UNC hat as his shocker.
Next season game of thrones air date pushed back.
Your image guide to July recruiting:
"I say, chaps. The university of my tutelage proffers a most divine set of pigmentations. We must duplicate their preference forthwith."
I took his comment that the shock would be the timing of his announcement, not his college choice. He mentioned that he doesn't know when he will be announcing on Saturday, just that it will be a shock. So maybe he'll walk by a camera and shout "I'm a HOKIE"
It's 8:00AM and I'm sipping coffee while debating if I need this in my life... it's going to be a good day.
I'm not calling for him to be fired. Just questioning the logic used above.
He recruits and he does land recruits. But he has missed out on successive big targets. And no thats not all on him. But again just questioning the logic given above that coaches that are performing are beyond reproach.
I do question what he means by a shocker, almost everyone believes it will be FSU. I hope he is not trolling.
Auburn and VT use Burnt Orange PMS 158 and are the only two schools to do so. Texas is Burnt Orange PMS 159, so while the name of the color may be the same, the shade is different.
When they play the red river shootout, the orange of Texas and the red of Oklahoma makes it look like the stadium is full of Hokies.
Nooooo, tell me it isn't so ! They should just shoot more in Iceland or Canada and less in Ireland and the U.S.
May or June is almost a full year away !!!!! Hell, shoot some in Alaska or Siberia, I'm sure Putin could provide some army types for extras (between invading other countries). Maybe we could even get him to put off an invasion or two if we paid well enough.
I think your perception may change if this season goes as I expect it to on defense.
Keihn was a 4 star LB that got moved to DE because we had no depth there. Fullwood is more likely to play DT than anything for us as well. Hope you are right on Hill and Gaines seems to even be ahead of him if he can get his head on straight. I don't see jimmie taylor fitting into our DE scheme either more likely to slide inside.
I don't think garbutt would have seen the field right away either as he looked extremely raw, but he had the size/athleticism that we covet at the DE spot.
Jason worilds is the only 4 star kid I can remember being drafted high in the last 10 or so years on the DL. He had a good pro career, but was moved to OLB (may have stayed at DE in a 4-3). No one else has really done anything lately. Ken Ekanem is another 4 star kid who may get drafted.
Fernley, not disagreeing with your logic and I normally like your comments, but isn't Charlie Wiles currently one of our top three coaches in recruiting in this class according to recent articles ? If he should be fired for bad recruiting, shouldn't all the other coaches below him in the recruiting process also be fired (which is almost everyone) ? Personally, I think we should at least let them play a few games before firing them, huh ? Down the road we may have to switch them all out to get better salesmen, but let's give them their shot.
so explain Maryland, Memphis, Iowa State etc that have even more turnover on their staff and are recruiting better than their predecessors without playing a game. I know they are all very prestigious schools with a rich history of football excellence, but how are they doing it besides having a staff that prioritizes recruiting and selling their vision?
This isn't about just one recruit. It's about the direction of recruiting as a program. Just so happens that one recruit would have been the first top 10 kid in the state of VA we wouldn't landed in the last two years.
None of them were kids that would have played defensive end for us. Wyatt had already been moved to DT and there is no way Nijman would have stuck at end. It's not a laundry list of kids either, nor kids that were going to start there that season.
You do know you can acquire coaches that are both good at coaching and recruiting? I know it's a scary concept, but it happens all sorts of places just not at VT. Also to your point about not knowing the DL was a weakness just look back to last year. DL was super hyped coming into the season and what happened when the games started? They did almost nothing.
Yes, I would like to be good at recruiting, but firing good coaches because you miss on recruits to teams with better programs (based on recent win/loss)? Not very VT IMO.
isn't this essentially the mentality that got us into this mess? Don't get me wrong. I am a huge Beamer supporter but you basically are justifying him holding onto "good coaches that win ten games a season" but couldn't recruit and put us in the hole we are presently trying to climb out of. Not that simple dude and it has nothing with being VT or not. It's simply the job they are hired to do.
All coaches must recruit. Some are clearly better than others, but the job at any school at our level is to coach AND recruit.
I agree we need to win to land better recruits. But I agree with criticism of Wiles. He isn't landing the recruits. He is insincere with the things he says about players. And IMO he relies too much on the system that Bud created to overcome the deficiencies of not recruiting better players.
The DL has held steady but how much of that is only on the ability of Wiles? or could another coach who has at minimum the same coaching ability AND able to recruit better suited, if for no other reason than its a requirement of the job?
He followed Chris Scott from ocean lakes to his new job at bishop Sullivan in va beach.
Technically Auburns colors are burnt orange and navy blue. So we share it with Texas and Auburn.
I started a huge spreadsheet on this geographically and eventually it just came to be to much. Basically though it depends on how you define an nfl player succesful. Is it succesful to make a roster? Or be a multi-year starter or what. The disappointing part for us is a lot of the stud defenders weve gotten in the past recruiting wise havent made a huge impact in the pros. Aside from worilds and flowers weve had some 4-5 star guys struggle to do much in the nfl.
Good question. Not a research guy, but would suggest all conference team as a good measurement of his system in college, while pro is good for developing talent. I think I read something on TKP a while ago that said we are above average in putting 3*s I the pros,with several Dline examples, but average with higher stars. Anybody remember what I think I remember enough to find it?
