# | Virginia Tech Football Recruiting: Jerod Evans Commits to the Hokies After reading this interview with Evans' JUCO coach, I am certainly excited.

Pretty sure he meant to say Tallahassee. I don't think it's one of those "neutral" site games.
Looks like he is taking a hand off from his foot. Damn shame he had to leave, but can't wait to see all the great things he's going to accomplish.
Syntax, it'll get after ya.
I've made almost an identical argument before. Have all the legs.
Wait wait wait, he punched another coach just for being good at his job?
Yeah.... That really blows....
Oh #LOLUVA...
Wait what Jacksonville??
This is probably one of my favorite posts ever.
it wouldn't have been necessary this year (and this was a bad year for records, thus the 5-7 teams getting to bowls), but even if it does become necessary, you can always make exceptions. My problem is the increase in bowls has resulted in the exceptions becoming the rule because of a saturated market. If you have to allow more than one team that doesn't meet the standard in every couple years, there is something wrong with either the standard or the number of spots. With bowls supposedly showcasing the better teams, one would expect them to maintain the standard and reduce the number of spots. The trend is currently the opposite of that: more spots so the standard has to keep getting lowered.
Many (I would say most) of those offers were to play wide receiver.
Say it gets reduced to 32 bowls (it won't but let's play this game) what happens in a year when only 63 teams have 6 wins?
Unless a lot of bowl games are going to disappear, I don't think this would be a wise move. There are already not enough 6-6 or better teams to fill all the bowl slots this year, let alone 7-5. Why wouldn't you want your conference's teams to fill the available slots? I see several comments about teams losing money on trips to crappy games in undesirable locations. If the ACC has a problem with that, it's within their control to decide not to be affiliated with that bowl. Now, if bowl games start to disappear, I'd be in favor of increasing the eligibility threshold, though. It seems silly to allow a 6-6 team from a power conference with a traveling fanbase to get a bowl slot over an 8-4 team from a lesser conference, as used to happen when there were fewer bowls. (Assuming, of course, that the purpose of a bowl game is to reward a team for a good season, not just to make as much money as possible. Crazy thought, right?)
Or better yet, make 6 wins against FBS competition the minimum. Especially with many leagues prohibiting FCS scheduling, why not make it more equitable by saying that you have to have 6 FBS wins to be eligible?
And doesn't even donate.
I don't disagree. Rumors are rumors and should be left off of this site...but rumors can be information too. Having a highly praised prospect leave the program in complete secrecy with a lawyer publically bemoaning the university leaves one extremely curious, especially when there isn't a sliver of information available. I feel like that NEVER happens, which makes the situation all the more interesting. When I saw this thread, I knew someone that had ANY information would pipe up and then be forced to remove their comments. I wanted to catch it before that happened. Sorry I'm the only one willing to admit it. Based on comments by lawyers, tweets by the affected party and his friends, this situation not only involves players, but the university as a whole (and not the police!). Color me intrigued.
Edit: With all of that said, it's none of my business. Curiosity killed the cat, I guess?
Either way, best of luck to CJ. By all outward appearances, he's going to be a star wherever he lands. The Hokies would have been a better defense if he could have stayed, without a doubt.
What we learned from this is Littlepage uses TKP for all his football related news and information.
Looks like UVA just stole your crazy idea.
shit.
And justin regardless.
I'm all for reducing the number of bowls. The fact that they will need to reach out to 5-7 teams this year mean that's there is too many bowls. Make them more meaningful

Of course it's a stretch! That's why only 1 or 2 backs in the whole country come close to 1800 yards in a season. We can still hope though. It's not an unrealistic goal, just an unlikely one.
While I would love to see him get 1800 yards, in reality, I think it is a bit of a stretch. We're going to have a lot of weapons to spread the wealth on offense.
What's also interesting is that if they were going to photo-shop the photo, why not put him in a suit like everyone else?
What, the suit photos were more expensive than the polo shirts?
