Very strong Hokie Club down there (grandstrandhokies@yahoo.com). Great game watching parties, road trips to games, golf tournaments and community service. Also on facebook. Check 'em out.

Yes we will

I was dying laughing when I read this. Well done, AB. (slow clap)

Worilds and now Gayle (if he's drafted) are evidence that DE's in our system can easily make that transition to 3-4 OLB in the NFL.

I wonder if we'll ever start a QB with the sheer physical gifts and abilities that Logan had, ever again?

Again, this is a must read.

As I have said in my other reviews, I firmly believe that the coaching staff has not seen anything out of Leal that makes them think he can elevate the players around him next year, hence the quest for a transfer that has some experience just in case a freshman or Motley can't do the job. Ford has a bit of a leg up between the freshmen because he will get to play at ACC speed all spring. I think Durkin may have the most ability to elevate the guys around him with his power and mobility. McMillian is the man in the middle. He is a calming, mechanically sound pocket quarterback who can also run with speed and power in the option game. Each brings unique strengths to the position, and I still think that the starter will not only be "the best player," but he will be the player that Coach Loeffler feels can succeed best given the players around him.

The Hokies known quantities are Trey Edmunds and a short, controlled passing game. Phillips, Ford, Bradshaw, Holland, and Bucky Hodges are unknowns right now, so their ability to stretch the field is a bit of a mystery. The offensive line should be pretty good. The ball is in Loeffler's court and the quarterbacks to see who is the best fit.

The only sure thing is that I doubt we will know who the quarterback will be by the end of spring practice given that Brewer, Durkin, and McMillian won't be available at that point.

Are you going to give me a billion dollars if I get it right?

Wasn't thinking about UVA, but am starting to get concerned that bringing in Brewer will probably mean that Ford/Durkin leave after next year. Durkin came to us on the idea of competing for playing time. If Brewer wins the job ,then those two are probably fighting for the backup job for 2 yrs. Attrition is a given in any program, but it'll be interesting to see how this plays out .

I can't think of any scenario where neither Durkin nor Ford sit for at least 2 years. If one of them wins the starting job this year, and does well, the other will likely sit for the next 4 years. If one of the older guys gets the job, Ford/Durkin will both sit this year, and at least one will sit for many years after that. All of these guys will compete for playing time as promised.

When you start making promises like that, it catches up to you as a program (cough ... Philip Sims ... cough), so I'd find it hard to believe that a no-nonsense guy like Loeffler would make any sort of promise to Brewer.

Having had family work at Chick-fil-a, I can assure you that pickle juice is not used despite any rumors or speculation.

After speaking with him, that's not the read I got at all. 1) His recruitment is pretty open at this point. 2) The position he plays doesn't matter to him as long as he's rushing the passer.

If I had to guess, I'd say the coaches are selling him on being the next Dadi, a pass rusher that also blitzes the QB with his hand off the ground.

Seems like he likes VT but wants to play OLB in a 3-4.
