I disagree. aTm may have know net but what is their history in ball and he is going to a conference that got fewer teams into the overall tournament than the acc got into the sweet 16. IMO if it's not Kentucky or Florida and maybe Arkansas I wouldn't say any team in the sec is much better than we are. I'm sure Chew has his reasons and maybe being that close to Dallas and Houston may be helpful but we're less than 3 hours to CLT and 4 to DC and what 5 to the tidewater area that has put out some incredible talent. So I will continue to look at the world through o&m goggles.
Yeah, I've always thought prep schools were a good way for kids to get more national exposure. This usually leads to more big time offers.
That definitely happens, but if Buzz can turn us into a consistent top 25/tourney team, more local prep school players will definitely have us on their list.
Players do not go to Oak Hill with predetermined commitments to their hometown schools. I'm not buying that.

I really doubt that is a large enough system to sell at, for instance, Lane Stadium. 66 gallons is approximately 630 beers (assuming 48 beers per 5 gallons).
Ditto for Oak Hill's top recruits. Harry Giles - this year's #1 recruit nationally - is also from Winston-Salem. Spoiler alert: he went to Duke (and Wake Forest was in his final 4).
The point stands: this staff will just about never fall into a 4 or 5-star kid from Roanoke. J.J. Redick is the exception, not the rule.
On the other hand, a school like Maryland can cherry-pick WCAC talent from 30 minutes away. Melo Trimble (O'Connell), the Grant brothers (Dematha), Kris Jenkins (Gonzaga), Marcus Derrickson, Franklin Howard and V.J. King (PVI)...the list goes on and on.
I've had at least three concussions, the last from playing pickup basketball. The week after while suffering from post-concussion syndrome was one of the worst weeks of my life. On top of depression (never had it before or since) and moodiness, I just felt dumb. I couldn't do anything but administrative work because I couldn't handle complex thoughts or hold anything in my head for more than a few seconds. I'm terrified that this will cause similar problems for me as I age.
the guys at Hargrave are rarely from Virginia, and often play either their senior year (Harrell, Hairston, West) or a post-grad year (Rozier, Howard, etc...). They have other plans the minute they walk through the door. For instance Josh Howard was from Winston-Salem. Spoiler alert: he went to Wake Forest.
Much better to just name the kid -a+La
Not to mention Hargrave Military Acadamy in Chatham, VA (2 hours from Blacksburg). They have a long list of NBA alumni, including Montrezl Harrell, PJ Hairston, Terry Rozier, David West, Josh Howard, etc...
I had a middle school girl student named Tikela - pronounced like the liquor, when teaching summer school way back in 1993. Not sure if the mom thought the nurse asked "what can I get you?" instead of "What is her name?", or if she was named after the cause of pregnancy, but that had to be a hard name to live with.
Talent.
But the juxtaposition of La implies multiplication, so it's really a matter of factoring out.
La - a = a(L - 1)
"a(L-1)," what a cruel name for a kid. Better be good a math, too.
Darn! To late! Fireman has this on speed dial. I will certainly drink to this!
As you could tell from the replies, it boils down to a legit threat to your existence as a fan in their stadium. C and D cell batteries, beer bottles, un-opened cans of beer, flashlights, keys...you name something small enough to fit in your hand, and their "fans" throw it at your players and probably you too in Morgantown. Watch the last Black-Diamond trophy game (Marcus "shit-for-brains" Vick and all the rest of the players, hell even the coaches wanted to wade into the fans and beat the shit outta them. The Michael Vick beat WVU game was just as bad. I don't mind the rivalry, but there better be jail-time, arrests and fines for every mother fucker throwing shit. Else-wise, fuck-em.
It's definitely different for the generation of kids that go to WVU now. I have a friend that went to WVU a couple years ago and he didn't even know he was supposed to hate us.
I guess it makes sense though. Most WVU students didn't grow up WVU fans. They grew up in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, etc. with bad grades and they wanted to go to a 4-year college out of high school. And there's only one school to try when you have a 2.3 high school GPA and just want to get out of your parents' house and party

I tip my hat to both of you
Just L. It's a visual puzzle La minus a = L. Solved.
You essentially have just provided a plot synopsis for Season 2 of Better Call Saul.
I heard from other sources that we slow played Maxwell and that we never gave an official offer. He may not have been a Buzz type guy.
Recently picked me up a copy of the Bob's Burgers Cookbook with recipes of all the punny burgers.
Yes. Yes he did. That was a thing of beauty.
