Video of Kendall getting the call:
HUMBLE AS THEY COME!! Missed his whole Junior year. 12th corner taken... message received. #GodsPlan pic.twitter.com/n2l1XMfEX7— Andre Levrone (@AndreTheeeGiant) April 30, 2016
John Harbaugh going hard with those Star Trek references on NFL network.
Are we jumping the gun on this? This did not appear to happen on VT property, so no breaking of residential contract as far as being kicked out of school. And legally, nobody has been convicted of anything, just required to appear in court. If they are first time offenders and in court they request the first offenders program and sucessfully complete the requirements they are not considered convicted. I believe they basically hold off final judgement until your year of probation and program is completed. If you make it through without screwing up you go back to court and, I believe the charge becomes "dismissed". This was not caught through the NCAA random pee tests, so again, still just a legal accusation not a verdict. However, its the team rules that are the question. Will the team give them a second chance like the legal first offenders program, or automatically kick them off permanently because they were accused?
Just some random thoughts...
He is going to be a bust, what a wasted pick.
As a die-hard skins fan starting back in the early 70s, I am sooo thrilled that a Fuller will be a Redskin. But I think it was a steal and Fuller should have been snapped up earlier. Glad he will be close to home for his family.
Cardale Jones is now Tyrod's backup.
Don't coaches, who could be potential alumni of a particular school, give rides to groups of kids frequently? Or are you referring specifically in the event an athlete makes it known he or she needs a ride and someone steps up to accommodate?
I don't wear "clothes that fit me"
I'm not "hygienic"
I don't "wipe properly"
I can't reach all "parts of my body"
I'm not "camera friendly"
I haven't had sex "with a woman"
I don't know "how that works"
That's a big assumption and it's the NFL the most elite athletes in the world
All three of the Florida schools basically rose to prominence in the 80s-90s. Not much success football-wise at Miami, FSU, and UF before Schnellenberger/Johnson, Bowden, and Spurrier, respectively. Granted, they had a ton of success in a short period of time, but they haven't been football powers for generations.
When I think of "blueblood" college football programs, I immediately think of Bama, USCw, Ohio State, Michigan, ND, Texas, and Oklahoma.
Is Florida really a blueblood? Spurrier made them relevant in the 90s for basically the first time. Spurrier was very much their Beamer.
I'm not saying they aren't a huge and relevant football program, but they aren't pedigreed.
SET THE TONE!

# | ODU to Host Penn State, Maryland and Michigan in June; Coach Wilder Said He Would Call Coaches Fuente and Mendenhall to Attend The best part about all of this is that Whit, Fuente, and the rest of the gang already had a contingency plan ready to go no matter what happened with the NCAA ruling and the possible overruling.
I don't think it's much of a stretch to think that the old guard would have been much more reactionary, to the point of being caught standing with their thumbs up their hind ends.

It made me sad making that prediction. I certainly hope I'm wrong, it's just the feeling I get from watching the first three rounds. Maybe someone will take a flier on Dadi because of his freak athleticism in the later rounds. I love Maddy but I worry what NFL coaches think about a 4-3 DT that has never had to read and react or play in a two-gap system. We all love Malleck, but he didn't exactly wow anyone at the combine.
Look, we all love our Hokies and want them to make it to the league, but there are over 100 other FBS teams out there full of guys that can play. That doesn't even account for FCS players who are getting drafted more frequently lately. It's just a numbers game. That's why some of our best and most productive players end up late round picks or UDFAs.
I can be pretty homerific, but years of watching NFL drafts have taught me that, barring elite talent, NFL draft boards tend to rank players much lower than their colleges fanbases.

# | ODU to Host Penn State, Maryland and Michigan in June; Coach Wilder Said He Would Call Coaches Fuente and Mendenhall to Attend You guys do realize that prima nocta isnt first right of refusal, right?
Very quickly, the secondary has gone from biggest weakness to strength. I'm pretty excited about it. Now we just need some D-line
When they make another run to the playoffs? That would be a pity I suppose.
This was a catastrophic failure, and personally I would classify it as negligence, on the part of VT medical staff. The decision to play Kendall hurt cost him millions of dollars, and could have easily ended his football career. It's unfortunate that HIPPA regulations prevent it, but I think programs should be required to report player injuries (meaning exact diagnosis) to a governing body. There obviously needs to be more oversight.
Damn I miss that defense

I try not to post crap from my own Twitter account on here, but Kendall Fuller may have become my favorite athlete of all time after last night. Been a huge fan of his since day 1, but been an even bigger fan of the burgundy and gold. I was honored to have been in a few classes with him in the fall (#Pamplin), and this picture was taken after an exam review that was completely optional, which goes to show that I believe the man definitely has his head on straight. Hail yeah!!
Scot McCloughan might be a raging alcoholic, but my gosh he's a genius at this whole GM thing. Been very happy with all the Skins picks so far, especially our third round choice. We don't really need another CB right now, but Kendall was too good to pass up at that spot.
Is there really an "exposure" void these days? Every school in the country already knows about every kid that has the talent to play at the schools running these out of state camps.
Boo hoo - instead of $4 million a year he got...what...$2 million a year?
I want to make clear, I wasn't whining nor complaining. I was simply stating facts and adding info.
Not sure where got the idea I was feeling sorry for this guy.
Chuck Clark hopefully. I think he'll have a stellar year.
The three Florida schools all have at least a quarter century of national relevance. Bowden's 14 straight years of top 5 finishes is perhaps the most impressive least-talked-about-feat in CFB history.
Regardless of your opinion of the three Florida Schools, I think we can all agree that there's less than 15 'bluebloods' and allowing satellite camps is a net negative for all but 2 or 3 of them.
