Then there's this little insight as to how Mike London evaluates talent, courtesy of the Daily Progress. Mike London on new OL signee Steven Moss:
... Whats interesting is he likes to bowl. The translation between bowling and footwork and balance, it might sound crazy, but theres something to that.
Ok, so we should expect to see CML hanging out in bowling alleys? Perhaps a recruiting letter to Earl Anthony will be coming soon? (Earl....YOU!) Does he check to see what kind of scores the kids are putting up? (Sorry kid, you're just not picking up enough 8/10 splits). It's a whole new world out there, folks.
I believe you're referring to Bucky Hodges
Bless you.
terrible thing to say
I resisted Twitter for so long. Tonight I gave in. If Bud's there, I have to be. I followed TKP/Joe first, then Bud, and it's spiraled out of control over the last two hours or so.
Remind me again why we existing members of the ACC were supposed to be alright with ND continuing to benefit as a football independent?
The article was titled best, not oldest or most recognized. If we can't think of ourselves as among the best then who will?
Can start by selling out all games at all the venues.
Yeah. Because South Park has never used the word "gay" with comedic intent.
Ever.

Just touched down in Blacksburg! What's happening around campus on this wonderful Friday night? — AWhite (@ayeechico) February 8, 2014
He is also an Aaron Moorehead target (with support from Torrian Gray.)

He is also an Aaron Moorehead recruit.
You can see his highlight reel on Hudl: http://www.hudl.com/athlete/877687/ellis-mckennie
serious question, don't we have a rule against taking kids who didn't qualify out of high school now?

# | Read and React: "National Signing Day: Cavs' Mike London looks beyond high school coaches to cultivate Virginia Beach pipeline" Yeah I saw it on a tsl post, thought it was strange for the same reason...but if anyone has a complete list of who's participated in this thoroughbreds thing I'd be very interested to see.
Almost downvoted you for insulting the kid, but then I realized you were simply telling the truth.
Is he 7'2" and weighs 404 pounds, and runs a 4.4 forty? If so, we might could use him.
I've heard no UNC players read this site.
Not true, Joe. I was born one day, but it wasn't yesterday! There's no way his mother and I would ever believe that he attended EVERY SINGLE CLASS during his four years there--we're simply not that naive. (However, we are OK with not knowing exactly WHY he didn't make it to those classes!) We may think Brian's an angel, but he's certainly no saint ("Michael" reference here)--he has too much of his father in him.
Brian's Dad
P.S. If we're ever at the same game, Joe, please come by our tailgate. We'd both love to meet you!
P.S. It's not just go to class. You must study and understand that that ultimately is why you will be at this institution of higher learning. Don't leave college without truly having an education - meaning useful knowledge in your head that you took the time and effort to put there. That aside, don't forget to kick some arse. Go Hokies!
It isn't??? Who keeps sending me all those Philly pinups?

# | Read and React: "National Signing Day: Cavs' Mike London looks beyond high school coaches to cultivate Virginia Beach pipeline" "...advocates of young men"??
If they were truly advocates/mentors of these kids they would be making sure that every FBS/FCS coach willing to extend an offer is given an EQUAL opportunity to deal with these kids without the steering that's obviously going on.

# | Read and React: "National Signing Day: Cavs' Mike London looks beyond high school coaches to cultivate Virginia Beach pipeline" Stroman? I thought the Thoroughbreds were in the VA Beach area. Stroman came from Stonewall, Manassas, NOVA. Not sure if there was a summer league you're talking about, but he went to school many hours from there.

# | Read and React: "National Signing Day: Cavs' Mike London looks beyond high school coaches to cultivate Virginia Beach pipeline" Personally, I'd prefer that CFB continues to stand on his principles and not kiss the collective butts of a group of people who apparently want to hurt the Tech football program as much as possible.
If this group was really performing a mentor role and looking out for the best interests of the kids in their "program", they would ensure that EVERY FBS/FCS coach willing to offer a scholarship was given EQUAL access to their kids. The steering they're doing to UVA based on their personal and ongoing relationships with Mike London and Chip West is total bull. That "steering" and bad-mouthing of the Tech program was going on long before CFB wrote his latest book - so who really fired the first shot in this war?
When London goes, and that will probably happen at the end of next season, what are the chances that UVA will hire another coach who caters to the 757 to the detriment of the rest of Virginia? When that happens, who will the Breds turn to then?
One more point - Tech has already extended 73 offers to recruits for 2015 and has two verbals so far. Do you think they're letting the Breds intimidate them? LOL - not on your life.
UNC players can read?
