First Guy in is an OL, Hopple, what does he look like in terms of impact in his time at Tech? I know not to expect anything in his first year.
I'm also inclined to suggest that some guys peak at different times.
There's the kid who is a world-beater in high school but then gets to college and doesn't develop any more.
There's the kid who is average in high school and pulls it all together in college and becomes the best player in NCAA.
There's the kid who is just barely good enough out of high school to get an offer, or walks-on somewhere, only to really develop in college into just-draftable or a free agent pickup who then blossoms to a great player in the pros.
This, I think, is the biggest question mark about people. When are they going to peak? If you bring in a 5star guy, is it all downhill from there? If you bring in a 0star guy, will he continue to get better? Tough stuff to project.
My feeling is Hopple. Bet he's up early. My not-so-learned impression is that he is like Gallo - not so highly touted, but somebody who wants to be a Hokie.
I hope we get we thong song, the measurables are awesome.
It's here. National Singing Signing Day is upon us. Joe will there be one official thread or will each signing get their own thread? Will you or someone else on TKP staff be starting them? Just want to make sure today doesn't get too gluttered with duplicate threads.
Edit: what song are we signing first?
How do you solve a problem like Maria?
The hills are alive.....
I root for the folding chair, definitely my favorite prop. I am also partial to a good running clothesline...
It's here. National Singing Day is upon us. Let's all rejoice with a choral rendition of Sandman. (Couldn't resist. ;-)
Sounds like a classy kid and family to me.
I think Allen drove too soon with around 15 seconds still on the clock but maybe it didn't or wouldn't have mattered. If Bibbs makes the second foul shot maybe. They made more free throws (20) than we attempted (13) but if we had made more than 7 of the 13, maybe. But it is absolutely true that we gave this one away no ifs, ands or buts. Those 3 threes they made at the end were out of this world - the one literally!!!! They were clutch on theirs and we clunked on our crucial shots.
Reminds me too much of my sex life in my old age.

Dance also does a lot of freestyle wrestling, so you'll see an expanded repertoire with him. I kinda see him as the next Cary Kolat, he's olympic-level good.
This was an absolute, absolute heart breaker.

Thought this article had some points specifically for your question .
great posts. love the wrestling coverage. who made the gifs? well done
These posts are really impressive. And really professional too. Well done.
Yes
Since this is a Virginia TECH site, I'll try this: imagine the shoulder blades themselves are a plane. If you're looking at that plane from the side (from one arm to the other), whenever that plane is 45 degrees from vertical, the defensive wrestler is in near fall criteria and the official will start counting back points.
Oof... and that one hit me hard. No one should have to go through your pain even once, let alone reliving it through the pain of an neighbor. Stay strong, brother.
When is it appropriate to bust out the Styles Clash?

Every Tuesday night you'll see whatever the homebrew club is having. Just had a Gose night.
Stars are an indicator but i like to look at the other offers a kid has. If we are competing with the Bama's and OSU's for a kid then to me he's more likely to be good than a same rated kid who we are competing with UVA, ODU, Vandy, and Duke for.
