Stats--> 2014 31 commits.. Jesus that's a lot. only did the ranked guys/stared guys and that looks to be false.. He plays the kids in the skill positions and then redshirts the OL/DL.. Easier to get 4* 5* skilled guys with a high powered offense like OSU's so that definitely makes it easier to play them..

Hows about this. At the end of the game, as they leave, the students fold up their tickets and stuff them in boxes on the way out of the stadium. Before the next game, a drawing is held, and umpteen winners will be randomly chosen to receive some manner of prizes, from a free taco to a VT hat or something. Get creative, and generous enough with it to engage those inclined to plane with the notion that they just might get more out of it if they don't throw it. Then, recycle the paper and nobody has to go around picking up your litter. Just a thought.

This is pretty much what I mean. If you take a guy who isn't quite ready yet and throw him into the fire along with ten other guys who you know are ready, I think it pressures your new guy to get it right, right away.

I'll take Lydon and Lawson as examples. They aren't the guys you want starting now, but are both guys who you'd hope would develop into starters for their Soph/Jun/Senior seasons. Why not toss them in as a t-Fr? Sure, it means they won't have a fifth year of being a Hokie, but it means they'll be closer to ready to play closer to now.

Not sure if I'm explaining myself well, but I do think that taking a guy who you think will be an eventual starter and redshirting him because he isn't quite as good as the others or isn't quite ready isn't in the best interest of the program or, even, the player.

I've got to believe that the number of students who will pack in extra paper for practice throws will be a whole lot less fewer (dangit) than those who are throwing their tickets now.

Someone write an open letter to whit with this idea cause that's sure to get it noticed and implemented

Delltron5's picture Delltron5 | 10 years 10 months # | What does everyone think of Travon McMillian so far?

Correct, but I don't need to him be the best back...at least for right now. I don't need to call anyone the best back on our team. As long as McMIllan keeps on being a beast at what he does well, and puts points on the board.
