Perfect segue into an SB Nation article that came out today. The relevant quote from Spurrier that seems to be the source of his problems:
Give me two or three more (years). I used to say four or five, now I'm down to two or three.
The fact that he "admits" he won't be around for a new recruit's entire college career does seem to be negatively affecting his recruiting.
If I was a beast athlete that a couple of major colleges wanted to offer me a free ride to attend their school and play a game, I would have some fun with it to. Some (not all) but some of these kids have, by highschool, have become better at what they do than a lot of people ever become at anything in their lives. Enjoying the process is a perk.
If Ellis chooses us, fantastic. If he doesn't, he's not a bad guy. Might not win very much with the Twerps, but not a bad guy.
Don't jerk me around Norm...
My completely unscientific survey shows that there are 4 people that back this opinion.
Fear not VTCEE -- we are mostly harmless.
muahahahahaaa....... 
Hey, now. While I will agree that most new country is terrible (mention some combination of: drinking beer, a truck, a girl, America, fishing, etc. and you have a song), I am all about some 90s country and classic country. Back when songwriting in Nashville hadn't completely devolved into BroCountry.
If I could choose between landing Ellis, and Mad Cow Disease.........I would choose to land Ellis.
Hah. That reminds me of something my most lecherous friend will drop on occasion when seeing a chick in really tight pants.
"Well, you can tell she's Catholic."
Which means absolutely nothing, but it sounds dirty as hell.
You're not held hostage before they commit. You're held hostage if they commit and then de-commit, or if they mislead you.
I don't have a problem with these kids having their moment. I just always hope they commit to the good guys.
Country music
and football are ais terrible andcontrasting combination thatshould be eliminated from existence
FTFY
It is really horrible we have entitled these kids so much and are held hostage by their decisions.
It's pretty bad if you let yourself be held hostage by an 18 year old who you've never met before...
Kids should have fun with it. I personally wouldn't do it that way, but I have no problem with it.
I am 100% in agreement with French that Durkin needs to be our wildcat/goal line power QB. The guy is big, athletic, and built like a truck. Lawson and Motley are definitely athletic and give us a huge run threat, but neither are anywhere near as physical as Durkin at 242 lbs. running the ball. Durkin has some wheels and moves himself, too. Just makes total sense to keep Motley healthy and a redshirt on Lawson when we have Durkin. Guy has a cannon arm too; while maybe not consistently accurate right now, I have no doubt he could fake the handoff and hit a few deep bombs.
They've worked hard on their football skills, strength, and conditioning to receive offers and want to have a little fun when announcing which school they will be attending. That's okay with me. Hopefully, more often than not they will choose VT.
Found one of our offense:

# | 2016 DE/OLB Brock Miller Picks Hokies for Top Group, Sets Blacksburg Visit Ahead of Summer Decision Brockton Miller III? Sure. Brock Miller? No.
Brock Miller sounds more like an action hero.
The same could be said of GT or any run first team. WR and QB are two positions where what school you go to doesn't matter in fact sometimes the "top" schools struggle with their players in the NFL, see SEC and QB's.
As usually happens, I suspect there are at least 2-3 guys who aren't even on the radar right now or have been written off that will end up committing to VT.
No news on any of them, but Stanford's twitter seems to indicate he is still in Blacksburg this summer.
Yeah... people are acting like this is the only time a missed FG has ever been celebrated
Damn he's right
It is really horrible we have entitled these kids so much and are held hostage by their decisions. I feel we could really do without the Prima Donna's that think they need a television show to announce where they are going to college. But that's just my opinion...
People think that WF pic is funny because, taken out of the contest the fernley just provided, it looks like he is ecstatic that no one managed to score. It is a short-hand joke about him having a conservative, defense first mindset. It has nothing to do with people thinking that he has so little energy left to give.
totally agree
Well, I think Beamer is more celebrating having a chance to win the game rather than someone missing the kick.
Also, I don't agree with what you are saying. Missed field goals have been celebrated so many times in the history of football at every level. I've personally been in the position where a game would be decided on the last FG try, and was missed. The game ended in a tie 21 - 21. We celebrated like crazy.
