No, he's getting "these studs" ... all two of them ... because they were gift-wrapped and dropped in his lap by their handlers.

I've been reading all over the place that this past year Beamer jumped back into the fray and became more active. That said, this class is awesome. We got at least one four star **** defensive lineman, linebacker and defensive back. As well, we pulled some more four stars in the offensive backfield and receiving corps. And it is my opinion that Andrew Ford should be a four star. As for the offensive linemen, , and it's been said time and again here and other places that offensive linemen are more difficult to evaluate. I'm guessing Grimes knew what he was doing and they will more than contribute.

Great class.

What FSU and Bama don't have is people saying it's time to replace their head coaches...those posts influence 18yr olds, so if you're posting that kinda stuff, then you're directly hindering VT's recruiting efforts.

1. Did you see what FSU fans did to Bobby Bowden?

2. Fire Nick Saban

Bama fans on craigslist call for Saban to be fired

Here's an 113 post thread on firing nick Saban

And that guy won back to back championships in the last three years. Every school has psychotic fans, schools like FSU and Alabama where they have very high expectations they have many more and they are much worse, not fewer.

I'd argue that very few schools' fan bases at the level we aspire to be at would have put up with what Newsome/Stinespring were doing to the offense for as long as they were doing it. If anything, the VT fan base as a whole is disproportionately patient and forgiving, not the other way around.

I seem to recall reading an interview/article a year or two ago that touched on the S&C issue. Apparently NCAA rules regulating summer workouts (in the interest of fairness and player safety) have really hamstrung the S&C staff. They can't make workouts as long or intense as they did before, so they're having to come up with new ways to toughen guys up. It hasn't always been easy/successful.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it was someone in category A or B who got butthurt because French called them out on their lack of football knowledge when all they wanted to do was throw a hissyfit and whine and cry and call for coaches to be fired.
Just a hunch.

22-18 four mins to go. We are trying to run set plays but our guys just can't seem to cleanly run the screens or move without the ball.JVZ is especially struggling with this. Hanging tough by outrebounding FSU and forcing tough shots

I think this might my favorite post of yours ever.
I'm looking very much forward to see who develops into a GAMECHANGER and who comes in right off as a GAMECHANGER!!!

17-15 now with about eight minutes left in the half. Thompson with six points. Tech strughling to get back in transition but seems to be doing well once they get set in their two-three zone

Honestly, he is the biggest mystery to me. All of his film is from 2012, and he was playing linebacker. I have always heard that despite his size, he has the speed and athleticism to be an outstanding free safety or rover. Can he cut into Bonner's time? That may not be the issue. Bonner isn't just a safety, he is also the quarterback getting the secondary into the right coverage. He is a safety blanket for young DB's. If Virginia Tech can't develop trust in a 3rd corner, Bonner may have to do what he did last year and play the nickel spot. That means Fisher is competing with guys like Greene, Frye, and Clark. I don't put a bunch of stock in ratings, but if Fisher can play free safety as well as he played a linebacker in high school, don't count against him being snaps. Same scenario, they may also move Jarrett to free and let Fisher play around the line. Reavis can make an impact as well. They are Willie Pile, Kam Chancellor type impact guys.

So you want more pictures of Beamer with recruits when he is on in-homes? Or are you implying the winningest active coach has decided to NOT take full advantage of the ONE in-home visit a head coach is allowed to make per NCAA regulations?
