True.
But it's also true -- as I believe Spurrier once said -- that now everyone else knows who their competition is.
I disagree... I've known a number of these types of young men, and out on the trail as they go to camps together and take recruiting trips together they build relationships. They absolutely follow each other. Maybe not all of them, but enough of them for it to make a difference on a guy or two in each class.
Not deterred at all. Just didn't know how pissed to get when they reversed that call!
The problem with those months for United has always been that unlike a lot of other MLS teams that use that period as a sort of rest break, United schedules themselves to participate in a multitude of other tournaments outside MLS. Essentially by September they are more run down than alot of other teams.
Not to be Debbie-downer, but this really isn't true. UVA is a perfect example of it not being true. They got a few elite prospects and then a bunch of scraps. The flood doors did not open.
And how many times do we hear that [insert name of VT committ] is going work hard on [insert names of VT targets] and it makes no difference whatsoever in the end?
I'm glad an apparently really solid kid committed to VT and is apparently excitied about doing so. But I don't know that it means much beyond that.
NOW I read this?
THIS IS THE REASON I COME TO TKP.
Thank you, Homebrew, thank you more than anything
So he's the '17 version of Mook? I like it. I like it a lot.
Hopefully Buzz brings up film of Nnoko when we are preparing to play bigs. Our guys have to learn to protect the ball until they get into the body of a big like that so he gets in early foul trouble. Nnoko had gone nine straight games getting four or five fouls each game before today. Those little things game to game make the difference between outside looking in and a tourney team. Glad we found a way to overcome it today.
You are 100% correct, however I have a tad bit more confidence in the current staff at developing players than I had in Mike London developing players.
He's from Lee Davis. He's pretty good actually he put up something like 4 TDs on Atlee this year. His highlight tapes not bad.
Welcome Chase Mummau to Hokie Nation. My guess is walking on?
New favorite!
Wait! Is he a...walk-on?

Another qb commit?
Edit: Catch up in the excitement of being a Hokie! He's a walk on apparently
Guess the head coaches don't know their players as well as they think they do... But this is an incredible VicTory.
walk on
Walkon looks like
You mean the current, official name of the university? VPI would be old school. I'll be seriously impressed if a recruit declares on twitter using that name.
UCF and South Florida are AAC, not a power 5 conference. Louisville and Wisconsin did not offer.
Vamos United! Hoping Hamid's injury isn't too terrible and they remember that you are still allowed to play well in August and September.

I think it's hard to separate the effects of guys recruiting each other and top talent simply nucleating at good programs. We often see this happening for the blue-bloods in the college football world, so it may be as much the school as it is anything else. Sure, you often see them talking to each other on Twitter and the like, and sometimes one follows another (QB-WR combo, for instance) but it would be a hard thing to prove.
It never hurts to have top in-state talent committing early, though. People will take notice.
