I want the one we think is the best. Va does not produce enough talent to stock even half of our roster with the quality we need to compete for championships. If the number one player at a position isn't as good as someone else we can sign, then so be it.

We will always have significant representation from the state on the roster but it needs to be at a higher level than what we've recruited in some time, and we should never deliberately take a less talented player just because they are in-state. That sends the message that we aren't trying to do our best to win. No thank you.

Hence the "probably".

Evans should be the heavy favorite to start. But we need 2 guys ready to go and none of the 4 has taken a snap in Fu's offense. So who picks it up the quickest?

Consider this math...if either Lawson or Jackson finds themselves significantly behind the other after spring practice, they could transfer this summer and sit out next year. Lawson would still have 3 to play and Jackson 4.

I think this whole thread raises valid points and we have seen things go this way in the past too. An interesting note from the WDBJ interview with Fuente was him saying that we also have to take care of high school coaches, whether it's through coaching clinics, whatever, but service them in ways that will help their own careers. That's something that doesn't get discussed too much in relation to recruiting, but is an excellent way to gain appreciation from people that remember these types of efforts.

You work water treatment in VA? I used to work water and wastewater in VA.

Yup, the older you get the less magical it becomes.

I seriously busted a gut on watching this one....funny as hell!

We put a lot of eggs in this weekend's basket. It will be a complete nightmare; I honestly expect none of the recruits to make the trip. If some manage to get there, great, but I'm really bracing for a complete failure thanks to weather.

Yeah I think this is going to be bad for recruiting. They'll have a rough time getting to Blacksburg, I'm thinking.

Maybe my nice Bermuda grass will turn green again when it rains all next week in South Carolina...
