Can anyone confirm or deny that West End used to be an athletes only dining hall, hence the adjacency to Cochran?

I'd heard that originally it was that way but they had to open it up to all students to avoid Title IX implications or some other negative consequence.

That kid gets a full scholarship to do it.

Ok thanks have an upvote. Because that is all you will get from me. I'll continue posting links but will never give info that is behind pay wall.

247 Looks like its Auborn, Tennessee or FSU

He listed his top 6 at the end of August on twitter: Michigan, FSU, Auburn, The Good Guys (VT), Tennessee and Georgia

ESPN - Quick UA Story on Landon

ESPN story has his officials being Georgia, FSU, Alabama and Auburn with holding one spot open in case someone creeps back in or someone new.

And then theres this from a bleacher report article

Virginia Tech could be the stiffest competition for Auburn, especially considering Dickerson's grandfather played for the Hokies, according to Evan G. Watkins of 247Sports.

So, I dont know, it doesnt sound super optimistic at this point.

No thank you. Then I would have to defend myself like I did yesterday.

I don't really want to start this whole discussion again but this irritated me. Here's why.

It's one thing to say "Hey, based one what I've seen around certain recruiting sites I think that schools X, Y, and Z have the best shot. I'm not at liberty to go into further detail so take it for what it's worth"

It's something entirely different to say "FACT: Dickerson is absolutely NOT going to be a Hokie!....I can't tell you why that is a fact because I paid $$ for that fact but it is in fact a FACT"

More often than not, the way in which you present your information says a lot more about you than the information itself. Don't act like the victim because you presented information and everyone jumped on you because of it. Wake up and realize that it wasn't the information people were concerned with but rather the manner in which you presented it. Just sayin'.

I'm a pessimistic Hokie bball fan, but I actually think we win this one by 3.

Just FYI the information is out there on TSL, TKP, Twitter etc.

Nothing is certain until LOIs are signed of course, but I would say it is a very safe bet that he's going elsewhere.

Plus, Phil Knight bankrolled most (all?) of it.

I will say this, though... once you start getting to the point where the training aids you have in college are more state of the art than what you get in the NFL, and you're seeing a downgrade in training quality once you turn pro, maybe the arms race has gone a little too far.

But I agree with that, a track used to help you peak your 40 yard dash and to aid in your training to becoming a quicker and faster player isn't something the average student would benefit from, and makes sense to use for the football team (then again, I would hope all their athletes get to use it). A 'Players Village' where football players get exclusive access to things like a movie theater, laser tag, bowling lanes, a barber shop, etc is a categorical 'fuck you' to the rest of the student body.

I realize that stuff is behind a pay-wall so you can't share the link or directly quote the article. But you're paying for that knowledge and now that you have obtained that knowledge I think it's fair for you to use it anyway you wish. You can post which 3 schools you "think" Dickerson has narrowed down and we can decide whether or not to believe you. *Wink* *Wink* *Nudge* *Nudge*

You are entitled to your opinion. Personally, I'm a fan of Virginia Tech as a school because I chose to go there. I don't just pull for the VT football team, I am proud of everything they accomplish, whether it is Engineering, Football, or Women's Soccer. The more the school accomplishes, the more it reinforces my decision to get a degree from that school. Spending that type of money on a select individual group that does not impact what they do at the school is embarrassing and I would stop donating to the school immediately.
