# | Justin Fuente's New Staff Offers 2016 Prospects, Sets Visits with Signing Day Rapidly Approaching Minnesota has an excellent business school.
I know they're called highlights for a reason, but Powell looks impressive. He finishes his assignments. As the ball is moving one way, Powell is driving his man the other.

# | Justin Fuente's New Staff Offers 2016 Prospects, Sets Visits with Signing Day Rapidly Approaching Bonner not visiting seems like staff cooled on him. Bailey visiting the 22nd good chance if he commits we get Wells and maybe Ross too. Pridgeon is all over the place depending on which recruiting service you follow but supposed to be at tech for an ov and staff will be up to see him next week

# | Justin Fuente's New Staff Offers 2016 Prospects, Sets Visits with Signing Day Rapidly Approaching Pine is visiting? I hadn't heard that.
If we're already winning enough for our writers to lose count, I'll take it.
This game was a ton of fun to watch. Also, I don't mean to brag (ok, maybe a little), but I just wanted to share where I got to watch the game last night. This did not suck.

Notice the write up says "10 wins". Thought last night's win gave them 11, tied for last season's win total?

Yes, this is a perfect summation. I was born and raised in upstate NY and have been cursed to be a Bills/Sabres fan my whole life. I honestly think the smart play is option 2. I love me some Tyrod but he still has a lot of progress to make to be a "franchise guy". Specifically, seeing the whole field and hitting the short and intermediate routes consistently. I also think option 2 will happen because the BIlls have a history of promising QBs that flame out immediately (see E.J. Manual, Ryan Fitpatrick, Trent Edwards, J.P. Losman...you get the idea).
I do think he will eventually stick as the long-term option. He consistently improved all year when defenses were getting more and more film on him while minimizing mistakes in a run-oriented offense. He also has mastered the long ball and made Sammy Watkins look worth everything they gave up to get him.
Fuente and Foster are working on LB Keith Simms (24/7 composite 3*, Rivals 4*). In-home visit tonight.
Great to see Coach Fuente and Coach Foster.. Can't wait for my in home visit tonight! #Hokiesβ KS (@kpsyo) January 14, 2016
Here's my idea for Marshawn:
Fella is listed at 5'11" 243 and has proven to be a productive piece of the offense. Considering he probably used the RS for this past season, he's a r-Soph. (correct if wrong). Sam Rogers is a rising Sr.
What if...?
Marshawn shadows Sam in every. where. he. goes. Turn him into Sam 2.0 and work him in that way. We have a stable of RBs (T. Mac, Edmunds, McClease, McKenzie, etc) to carry the bulk of the carries. But as Sam has proven the last 2 seasons, a playmaker at that position can be a wildcard.
Either way, if MW proves to be a factor and returns to full strength form, he's going to have an impact in the O.
Pridgeon would be a great guy to land. We can use more tackles.
Still don't understand the logic of allowing the offensive player to get the defender in the air and then step into him to get a foul. If Miller Mcintire does not move forward into Bibbs, there is no contact. MIght be the correct call under the rules; but it does not seem fair.
I was at Clemson with him for two years. Hopefully he matured through the getting kicked off process and such in the last two years, but I can assure you that if he hasn't, he will absolutely cause problems wherever he goes.
Makes perfect sense. Anyone dealing with the government would know what a load of shit it often is! (non-political, just humor)
SWAG Kelly is a dumpster fire just waiting to be lit. He reminds me more of Ryan Leaf mentality and we all know what happened to Ryan Leaf... Didn't he just get out of jail.
maybe we need someone yelling "miss it" every time for us to actually make free throws.
It's my work computer that I saw this on, so maybe Government Contracting stuff?

# | Justin Fuente's New Staff Offers 2016 Prospects, Sets Visits with Signing Day Rapidly Approaching any word on Malcolm Pridgeon? Jordan Bonner? Jaquan Bailey? I think those are three I'm watching most closely. And another WR, preferably a fast guy like Latrell Williams.
Well I would think DLaw has just as good a chance as any QB on the roster to win starting job for Fuente.
My high school team played Hunter Koontz's team (Deep Run) for a couple years. I was playing #2 while he was #1. I felt so badly for my teammate. It was just winner after winner being slapped by him. It's tough to make it a fair fight when one guy is the best player in the state.
Anyway, I'm really excited for the promise of this year's team! I've always followed the team a little bit, but have always done a poor job at staying on top of it.
Alex love the work you are putting in. I've been seeing on Twitter guys from 2016, 17 and even 18 saying they have VT offers. Has there been any talk from recruits that Fuente and co have cooled on anyone that was offered by Beamer and Co? What would you recommend is a quality way to find out who has offers so far?
My major takeaways:
Best FT shooting I can remember (83% on 35 attempts)
14:6 assist:turnover is a fantastic stat
Justin Robinson is very very fast
Justin Bibbs is a clutch shooter
Still see Seth Allen playing a little out of control

Offering Bailey's brother might be a great move if it brings him and others.
