Go Bayside!

My experience is that the issue is, (when there is "an issue") is that it is more grass roots than the coaching staff. Parents, "concerned citizens" (often parents of players gone or players yet to come up) form the bulk of the crowd that is paying attention at the games, and they socialize, gossip, make opinions, start rumors, form hierarchies, and go with the flow. And when that flow goes against a particular school, it is hard to shut it off, and it persists for years.

I have been in the stands for over a hundred HS games in VB, and socialized with parents from kids at most of the schools there, at games, practices, award ceremonies, etc.
Everybody loves to talk, get riled up, and come to consensus - true or not - about the football world.

Bayside, obviously, was anti-VT. For a loooong time. As was Oscar Smith. You have to be in the stands, be on the practice fields, be among the adults that are influencing the decisions, to get a feel for what I am saying. Having a guy like this, seemingly humbled and excited about a VT offer, saying it was all he thought and then some at VT...this, to me, is nothing short of astounding. This is a big, big day. And some people at VT deserve big ass pats on the back.

Want to look around campus since I didn't go to school there. Want to hit up at least one good late lunch early dinner spot. Want to meet some nice people who will share tailgate fun. That's about it.

FWIW, it looks like there's an issue with his transcript that's keeping his offer list in check right now (including for us). He doesn't currently hold an offer from VT. If it looks like things check out, good chance he flips. Looks like he's locking down his spot to make sure he'll have a college scholarship.

It's a place holder guys don't blame the kid a bit. If he ends up getting a committable offer from us he'll probably flip.

There's been some staff turnover at Bayside recently, and it looks like there might be more. Can't hurt.

No "The University of Virginia Tech" I like him

Damn. It's what I get for only making it out there once a year. Last time I was there was the Miami game, so not a lot of time to do much else, since it was a Thursday.

What kinds of things are you looking to do? What kind of food do you like?

It ain't the big city but there's a fair bit of things to do to occupy your time if the weather is nice.

According to a family I know that moved from Chicago to Minnesota to Blacksburg... Yes, yes it is. Average high of 24 degrees and an average annual snowfall of 54 inches over 38 days versus an average high of 41 and an average annual snowfall of 25 inches over 14 days. Minnesota's winter is much longer, colder, and with more snow.

That being said, if he wants to be at Minnesota then good for him. The dominoes are starting to fall now. Only really waiting on 8 or so guys for 3 or 4 slots.
