Not to be a debbie downer,

but there's no NLI for early enrollees, and the NLI for regular enrollees cannot be signed before February...

On the other hand, signing the non-binding-on-the-player financial aid paperwork for spring enrollment is still an excellent predictor of enrollment.

Let's be honest French, most of the heisman voters are just as big of Homers as anyone else. Tony and Wilbon were talking the other day of how ridiculous the voting has gotten and how so many unqualified people get to vote. There are over 1,000 voters and everyone has an agenda. There will be ppl who always vote for a QB, or for someone from their conference. Do you think it's possible that you subconsciously think the best player is Watson becuase you watch more ACC games and don't get to watch West coast games? How can you honestly have the Stanford RB at #4 behind a guy that didn't get invited? He broke a 30 year NCAA record for all purpose yards. c'mon man

I think Watson has been the best player, but Mayfield played behind an abysmal offensive line. To elevate his team like that (Clemson is better around Watson), especially being a transfer and former walk on, is really impressive.

Hell fucking yes. I moved to Winston Salem after undergrad at tech because my GF got into the Wake Law school, and this school is a hotbed for footballl talent. This guy has as they would say "all the measurable's " 6'4 And over 200 lbs in high school! Damn those are good genes.

The Heisman Trust mission statement reads (emphasis is mine)

"

The Heisman Memorial Trophy annually recognizes the outstanding college football player whose performance best exhibits the pursuit of excellence with integrity. Winners epitomize great ability combined with diligence, perseverance, and hard work. The Heisman Trophy Trust ensures the continuation and integrity of this award. The Trust, furthermore, has a charitable mission to support amateur athletics and to provide greater opportunities to the youth of our country. Our goal through these charitable endeavors is for the Heisman Trophy to symbolize the fostering of a sense of community responsibility and service to our youth, especially those disadvantaged or afflicted. All assets of the Trust beyond the expense of maintaining the annual presentation of the Heisman Memorial Trophy are reserved for such charitable causes. The Trustees, who all serve pro bono, are guided by a devotion to college football and are committed to community service and the valued tradition which the Trophy represents.

As such, my ballot would be:
1. Keenan Reynolds
2.
3.

Beamer is getting old but it still seems a bit harsh for these kids to be calling him a goat.

VT DOES need to get the best recruits in state. We used to. We no longer do. Hence the last four years of mediocrity. All the talent does not have to come in state. But the best talent in state must come to VT. And that has not happened the last 4 years, which is why the program has declined.

I dont disagree with you and those were all great players and I think it is in our best interest to find these players. I guess my main point is that for some reason some regions put out certain positions better than others. There are some great pass rushers in Va that we miss out on. To find good receivers, we will probably have to go out of state for the most part. Even with all the athletes in Va there isnt a lot of receivers year in and year out. We also havent had the best luck with O-linemen in Va as well. Kind of weird but it seems to work out that way

Okay, there are sources saying Bud Foster said this was a factor...

Seems to me that Texas can throw money at the problem, but also even if this is only two years, if you could improve Texas in two years, you probably can write your own ticket.
