Maybe so, but Okie St. could offer him T. Boone Pickens money and a job in one of the 3 best conferences. Wichita St. is hamstrung when it comes to conference prestige.

Not necessarily. The only team thats going to take a really big step back is Miami. And maybe even not them with the talent they're bringing in. I guess UNC will be worse but still probably more talented that us. The bigger thing is there's no teams other than BC that are going to suck. That means if you have an off night shooting you can be in real trouble

I doubt Marshall ever leaves Wichita. The Koch brothers are both heavily invested in the program and if they really set their minds to it the price tag to get him away would be highly prohibitive most likely

i did hear folks talking up SS during spring but he was available during the season and even with Nigel having a down season he didnt see much time. Dont know whats up but I do know coaches tend to do a little coach speak. Dooley was reported to have made great strides also that didnt translate to the field. The scheme that VT runs also requires consistency and flash plays wont do, too much opportunity for big plays if guys cant consistently do the job. I also think Lewis has a good skill set. DT should be very interesting guys will need to seperate. it is also the nature of the beast fans to be enamored with the shiny car. Folks overwhelmingly want to see what Settle brings.

Whitaker? Da fuq? I believe Ronyell could be encapsulated best by a draft preview about him where they basically said "If Whitaker was as good as he thinks he is, he'd be gone in the first round. We're thinking...later"

But yeah, it's hard to choose. Which player to go with Vincent, Kyle and Kendall? I'm leaning Flowers.

Hold breath - turn blue - lose consciousness - start breathing again

That's the norm, anyway. No promises.

Where's the ceiling, though?

My coin-flip bracket is sitting at 88%, had Oregon State over UNC in the championship, but the coin favored the favorites a lot (I think the "tails" side is heavier...that's how that works, isn't it?)

I could seem him wanting a change in scenery. The alma mater thing could be a big factor too. I think Dixon would end up regretting it though.

Ok so the guy that nobody has talking about so far this off season is Yosh. Last year he was one of the major talking points on TKP during prior to the season due to his freakish athleticism. However as soon as the season gets started he was barely mentioned even after he started getting playing time. Now with the season over I have barely heard his name. I mean I could be crazy but I feel like what he did last year was incredibly impressive. Hear me out.

The guy came in in the Fall as a DE. After getting a try he gets moved to the OL. Now at this point you would imagine that a guy who is roughly 30 lbs underweight and has never played his new position before would need at least a year to begin to get a grasp of the fundamentals enough to even be considered to possibly touch the field. However after working with the OL's for no more than a few months he was finding himself getting serious playing time on what was thought to be a set in stone OL group. Again I may be completely ignorant here but I thought was incredibly impressive.

So with all that said I'm wondering why nobody is talking about him now? I mean if he did that last year I'm just imagining where he could be at this Fall with an entire year of experience and after finally getting up to an appropriate weight.

So am I crazy, or could he really push for even more substantial playing time this year? Even further does he have the potential to be one of the better OL's that we have see at VT in the next year or two? I for one am voting yes. I think he might just be that next breakout guy that nobody is talking about.

He's been at Pitt a while though, and it seems that both sides may be growing tired of each other.

Seems like TCU is locked in on making it happen too, so we'll see.

I'm not scared of TCU at all. Oklahoma State is who I'm afraid of.

But then again Buzz is clearly an eccentric dude. No telling what he's thinking.
