Actually I'm in agreement with him regarding his redshirt philosophy. I don't think redshirting does a whole lot of good for anyone involved. I'd rather see someone redshirted because they didn't play all season, rather than redshirting someone with the plan that they don't play all season.
Not remotely. I've said repeatedly I have zero issues with how Lawson's situation was handled. He was the 2nd string QB, it had to be done. The situation wasn't ideal, but hey, that's life. I assume that's what you're referring to.
If anything, it's more of a dig at London and how he did things. He had a similar philosophy and there were definitely some kids who played simply because they had been promised playing time, and then they reach the end of their career and really miss that year of development they could have had.
Personally, I'm not a fan at all of Bronco's philosophy (shocker, I'm sure). I want kids to come in ready to compete, but the default shouldn't be to throw them out onto the field just because you're against redshirts. I just don't see who benefits from players being on the field when they have no idea what's going on and aren't physically ready to play the game. But hey, maybe it'll work out for him. Hope not, screw the Hoos.
Azzaar Abdul-Rahim. Was the head coach that founded the Friendship Academy (DC) football program and then took it to high school powerhouse. Then accepted a job as a defensive analyst for Alabama and was then the assistant director of player personnel.
He is now currently the Assistant DB coach at Maryland.
With a background in working in player personnel (recruiting) directly and being a productive football coach, he would be a pretty good candidate.
hey, if it ain't broke, don't break it.
No, the wahoo experience is more like this (noting that the resemblance of the driver and LOLUVA's new coach is kinda creepy.....and fitting):
day late and dollar short /s
thanks for posting though. Kind of interesting.
yeah ditto. This is a message board, sure. But I'd much rather talk about linguistics and semantics than recruiticorns and coaching changes. Maybe that's just me though.

# | Hokies Jump into 2017, 2018 Recruiting Classes with Hosting Weekend Heavy on Virginia Prospects This is correct. And it's almost always the case some of these kids don't show up because a ride fell through or some other circumstance.
I view early enrollment as a great way to almost guarantee a kid gets his degree, it's three full semesters of college before the first game of your career.
besides, everyone knows that FSU hands out "get out of jail free" cards with every signed LOI...
Old school recruiting, so stacks of cash, hookers and cocaine?
Yeah, I know. I'm messin around.

UNC gets another one. That gives them five 4* recruits already for the 2017 cycle. Off to a hot start.
STOP.

it makes no sense. Like so many things in this world. I guess it's fitting.
I believe his football career is over. Was one of the players honored at senior day.

# | Hokies Jump into 2017, 2018 Recruiting Classes with Hosting Weekend Heavy on Virginia Prospects I would assume this is mostly the "big names" and the ones that Alex could get confirmed. I think the number might be close to 30-40 kids in total.
Is it ridiculous to think Fuente might find a way to get the ball in his hands with the new offense? He's got experience and is still a great athlete. Can anyone weigh in on this? I've heard nothing about this so far.
This. I can sort of get being against enrolling early, I don't really agree, but if he thinks that last semester of high school is important, cool.
But redshirting is such a useful tool for players for a lot of reasons. Beyond development of on the field skills, I feel like redshirting gives players a chance to acclimate to college life with a little bit less stress from the football side of things.

# | Hokies Jump into 2017, 2018 Recruiting Classes with Hosting Weekend Heavy on Virginia Prospects I'm surprised we're only bringing in a little over a dozen kids, I would have like too seen many many more.

It's become a buzzword in business and sometimes social media. "Hey, inbox me those results ASAP." Ridiculous how it's become a surrogate for a perfectly good word: send.
C'mon man. It's a message board.
Wonder if he can make free throws?
