He definitely looks to be a shifty and elusive runner. Also he exhibits good ball handling while running. He looks to be a 'Fuente fit'; I look forward to seeing him in the orange and maroon!
January 3, 2000: Sugar Bowl: VT vs FSU (National Championship): watched on TV with my family. I was in high school and it was my sister's first year at VT. I had school the next morning so I had to go to bed at halftime. She left me a note in the morning about how it ended up.
November 1, 2003: Miami vs VT: watched in Lee Hall in my dorm room. I got screwed in the old athletic card system and couldn't get a ticket. I opened up my window to hear the noise of the game (my room faced the tennis courts) and since ESPN was on about a 10-second delay, I knew the outcome of each play before the ball was snapped. Kind of a unique experience, but it also kind of sucked.
December 4, 2004: VT vs Miami: probably watching on TV in the dorm, no distinct recollection outside of knowing the outcome.
November 5, 2005: Miami vs VT: in the East Stands, enjoying an unseasonably warm November evening with some of my best friends. Then the game started and enjoyment ceased. One of the few times I will admit to walking out early (usually that only happened in the blowout wins) but I was so disgusted with how MV5 was playing, and I already had a low opinion of him...
September 8, 2007: VT vs LSU: Again, no specific recollection outside of being pissed the whole time. Definitely watched the whole, sad, game.
November 26, 2011: VT vs LOLUVa (38-0, bro): Was driving back from Jacksonville after Thanksgiving with my wife's family. I was upset at missing the game (something that never happens with me), so my wife pulled up the ESPN Gamecast and narrated every play to me as we drove home. Then watched the replay of the game the next day.
Sugar Bowl vs FSU- Freshman in HS watched it in living room at the folks. Awesome game except for the score, very memorable
2003 vs Miami-in the stands, got in the game with a ticket from the season opener vs UCF. They were going for big bucks, everyone but me thought it was a terrible idea.
2004 vs Miami-at my Apt in Radford, couldnt have been happier
2005 vs Miami-at the game, couldnt have felt shittier
2007 LSU at the folks house, blah, that wasnt much to get excited for
2011 at UVa-at the game with UVa fans. Didnt say a lot but you couldnt wipe the smile off my face
I only did this to mention the UCF ticket from '03
The worst part is LeBron could score 45 in Game 7 and he would still find a way to call LeBron a "choker" or that he is "weak minded" if the Cavs don't win.
True. You never can tell when someone may have swapped spit.
January 3, 2000: Sugar Bowl: VT vs FSU (National Championship) - Barracks lounge in Goose Creek, SC. I wasn't a huge VT fan growing up but between the letters from my Freshman friends in Ambler East and not being able to explain where Christiansburg was without using VT as a starting point, I was certainly not rooting for the favorites in this one.
November 1, 2003: Miami vs VT - I watched this one from the house in Suffolk. I came to town the next week and watched a really wretched Pitt loss at TOS, practically had the bar to myself. My best friend had gone to NC for a forestry club adventure that weekend
December 4, 2004: VT vs Miami - Out to sea, on watch. Miami fan in the office was checking the score
November 5, 2005: Miami vs VT - Our apartment in Norman, OK
September 8, 2007: VT vs LSU - Buckeye friends house in Ashtabula, OH. Same asshole that wouldn't put the last 5 minutes of a boring VT Nebraska game in 2009 on ("I really want to watch Michigan State, we play them later this year"). I watched the miracle play out on my Gamecenter ESPN app. Fuck that guy
November 26, 2011: VT vs LOLUVa (38-0, bro) - I still hadn't gotten cable at the house, so I was streaming at home thanks to Phreak.
She was crazy, and .... the "Ex". It all makes so much sense.
If he qualified out of HS, does he truly have to sit this year? I think it has to do with transfer credits allowable toward eligibility...I.e. Has to be far enough along as a Soph to qualify
I agree that Motu was definitely the biggest liability on defense last year. The moment that sticks out to me most in the OSU game isn't the spin move, but the rest TD run Elliot had fairly early on. If Motu had just played his assignment correctly that was a 5 yd max run.
I think he worked out as a DB at the GA camp. And supposedly can run....fast....
EDIT: he worked out as a wr at VT camp but DB at UF camp.
Really hope these coaches know how to use athlete recruits better. I have faith but I remember griping about this a few years ago. Most notably with caleb
Isaiah Ford... if he goes down, so does our offense, in a big way!
Looks like a versatile player. Glad to see a satellite camp actually paid off.

November 26, 2011: VT vs LOLUVa (38-0, bro) - got in on a BooHoos student ticket that one of my friends wasn't using. Went with three of other BooHoos friends. Made them stay the whole game on the hill thing they've got going on. Best moment in VT fandom.
January 3, 2000: Sugar Bowl: VT vs FSU (National Championship) - Pre-Hokie
November 1, 2003: Miami vs VT - East Stands
December 4, 2004: VT vs Miami - ?
November 5, 2005: Miami vs VT - Sharkey's on Main. It was a packed but very quiet house.
September 8, 2007: VT vs LSU - Center St Apts
November 26, 2011: VT vs LOLUVa (38-0, bro) - The barn
Dam this is a really good call. I keep forgetting he has another year. He's going to be huge this year
January 3, 2000: Sugar Bowl: VT vs FSU (National Championship)
I was not that into college football until I got to Virginia Tech. Once at school I was all in and I used to be a Miami fan, but once I got Tech I was A Hokie through and through. So sadly I didn't watch this game at all.
November 1, 2003: Miami vs VT
Bought a scalped ticket a few hours before the game. Sat in the student section. It was crazy. People definitely snuck in. People were sitting on the stairs. People went wild after that victory. Dumpster fires everywhere.
December 4, 2004: VT vs Miami
Started working for the football team this year and I was down on the field for this one. I was helping real Coach Wiles wired headset as needed. The coaches would get pissed when they ran out of line. haha. Being in the locker room was fantastic. I stood where Johnny Unitas said we are going to win this game. How cool is that.
When we won everyone was yelling about being picked last in the ACC. Coach Ballin said your all getting the biggest ring I can find and throwing sugar cubes. The flight home was awesome.
November 5, 2005: Miami vs VT
On the field again. I remember the hype around the team. Eddie tweaked his hamstring the first play of the game and the head trainer was asking him if he could play and Eddie just kind of stood there and pouted. Marcus was terrible that night and instead of trying to rally the team he just kind of acted like it was no big deal. It really pissed me off. That year we were stacked and it could have been our year, but we blew it.
September 8, 2007: VT vs LSU
First year after I graduated. I flew down on Thursday stayed with my friend from school. Had a great time before the game. We drove an empty cargo van with a keg in the back and lawn chairs setup around it. We got hammered on the way up. I could not believed we got spa led the way we did, but I was glad I went to experience Death Valley.
November 26, 2011: VT vs LOLUVa (38-0, bro)
I was in California watching it in the Underground in Hermosa Beach. Can't remember anything special about it.

Me, six
Apparently he only spent 1 year at community college so he has to sit for the year. Here is Andy's tweet.

# | Virginia Tech Football Recruiting: Henri Murphy Commits to the Hokies Does he have to sit? Being a JUCO transfer, thought he has 3 to play 2.
Sweet! This will help the WR depth a little. He will probably be behind a bit but the more WRs Fuente gets for his offense, the better.
EDIT: And Andy Bitter tweeted out that he has to sit out a year. So it basically like a redshirt season for him. I thought we might have had some extra help this year but alas, no.
January 3, 2000: Sugar Bowl: VT vs FSU (National Championship) 45 yard line - 25th Row
November 1, 2003: Miami vs VT - Fort Stewart, GA Duty Officer for the Support Brigade on post, fortunately was able to catch most of it in a barracks lounge
December 4, 2004: VT vs Miami - Unfortunately missed this one because I was bartending and my boss wouldnt let me put one of our TVs on the game.
November 5, 2005: Miami vs VT-Cringing in the living room of my apartment, fortunately was the only one home on the entire floor of my building so no one heard me cursing the waste of Vick's name
September 8, 2007: VT vs LSU - Turned the game off when it got to 24-0. Not many times I have done that, especially with how many awesome things happened pregame in this one.
November 26, 2011: VT vs LOLUVa (38-0, bro) - 30 yard line, front row, brother worked for State Farm down in Charlottesville so they got great seats for us

# | Virginia Tech Football Recruiting: Henri Murphy Commits to the Hokies This tweet from Guerry is quite interesting.
ARK VAWelcome to the family.. See you next month!!— Thomas Guerry (@thomasguerry) June 18, 2016
Perhaps Murphy is reclassifying to the class of 2016...
Edit: Yes I confirmed with Muphy that he will be enrolling in July.
"Willis" is close enough to "Willys" to get the Jeep seal of approval.
