# | Sleeker Settle Making Noise on a Deep Defensive Line, Tremaine Edmunds Set for Breakout Year He probably should have said quickest, not fastest. Stroman is shifty which is what made him effective in High School and what makes him a solid option for punt returner.

# | Sleeker Settle Making Noise on a Deep Defensive Line, Tremaine Edmunds Set for Breakout Year Exactly, I have no idea what these people expect from a punt returner. He doesn't muff the ball, he doesn't fumble, he is a threat to take it to the house or get a long return and has proven that. Who cares if we have some 5 yard losses, that's part of having a playmaker back there.

# | Jalen Hudson Leaving the Hokies After Two Seasons with Buzz Williams You might be surprised at the quantity of basketball leagues overseas and how many former Hokies actually pull in a professional paycheck for a few years playing basketball.
Just off the 2000 roster - (which got blown up with Ricky Stokes leaving)
Tony Dobbins - had a 10 year pro career mostly in Europe
Rolan Roberts - Still playing in Europe
Dennis Mims - Still playing in Europe
Jermaine Kimbrough - Went into coaching and is an assistant coach at Cleveland State
Jonathan Smith - Played in Europe until 2013-2014 season
Rodrigo Viegas - played about six years between Europe and South America
David Whaley - played at least one season in France
Russ Wheeler - played two to three seasons in Europe
Thats eight of fourteen that pulled in a basketball related paycheck after Tech and only what I could find doing limited searches. Not sure on the rest of the roster as I could find no record of them being affiliated with basketball afterwards but that could just be the limited search I did. I really wish Tech did a better job keeping up with where people ended up to show we have produced a much stronger basketball presence other than our limited NBA draft picks.
Looking at the 2007-2008 roster:
Deron Washington - Drafted by Detroit in 2008, still playing in Italy
Jeff Allen - Still playing in Israel
Terrell Bell - Played in UK in 2014 is last record
Malcolm Delaney - Done a couple things over in Europe, a few MVPs of several different leagues, in Russia still this year
Cheick Diakite - Played last in 2010 in Hungary
Hank Thorns - Bounced between Montenegro, Mexican professional leagues and the NBA D-League. Last known playing in 2014
A.D. Vassallo - Still playing in Puerto Rico
Terrance Vinson - worked in the strength and conditioning programs of Louisiana Tech, Mercer and Georgia Southern before becoming an assistant coach and recently named head coach of Pinecrest Academy in central Georgia.
Lewis Witcher - Played last in 2013 in Japan
Marcus Travis - Played last in Ireland in 2012
Thats 10 out of 13 that pulled in a basketball related check after Tech.

# | Sleeker Settle Making Noise on a Deep Defensive Line, Tremaine Edmunds Set for Breakout Year I don't hate him, by any means, he is just not very effective. Might as well fair catch the punts. Also, don't think he would be amongst the top 5 fastest guys on the team.

# | Evans seems to be getting more First Team Reps: Notes from the 4/5/16 Practice Man, you football good...
I dunno, this looks like it could be a very good movie, helping to put the pieces together of the main story arc. From what I understand, the story of how the Death Star plans are stolen is pretty intense, so if this movie is able to capture that, it should be a good one.

Oh no I love Karate.....but in Stars Wars it's kind of a stretch in my opinion.
yea, call me simple, but all of these spin off movies are just money grabs and aren't appealing to me at all. Stick "Star Wars" on anything and it will make money but I like the main story lines.
I really don't care much about Han and Chewie before they met up with Luke.

# | Excellent SBNation article on Fuente and his anticipated impact on VT's offense Well I had a nice long response typed up and then the intern went down. I'm now on mobile. Basically, I don't think it's fair for us to express concerns about how Fuente runs the offense until we see it. He's been known to mold the offense to the available talent. VT has lots of talent at rb. I expect most of the running game to go thru that position.
Have you heard the news that they are doing a young Han Solo movie next year too?

His voice reminds me of this Kanye West song.

# | Experience Standing Out to Fuente, Devin Wilson Trying His Hand at Wide Receiver btfootball
That'd be your first problem. It used to be "VTFootball" and they have since changed it to "HokiesFB". That should fix it for you.
These are great fun to watch and listen to! Whoever came up with the idea, deserves many kudos, turkey legs, and fine bourbon.
If I am a defensive recruit and you put me in a room with Foster and Scott you better believe I want to play for these guys. They absolutely gush energy and excitement.. not to mention the swag levels

# | Experience Standing Out to Fuente, Devin Wilson Trying His Hand at Wide Receiver Can you send me a snapchat
I have an account and have btfootball as a friend but cannot see any activity yet
Thank you
I pictured you holding your baby in sunglasses rocking Joey Phillips hair. I hope this was correct.
Now that could be correct but depending on the intentions of the studios here will dictate how actively intense this story will be told. I am really afraid these movies will be seen as filler movies till the new saga comes out. I will watch them, of course, but just really really afraid of the lack of story line these movies may have. I love to be proven wrong in these cases.
