I have a feeling this kid will end up being one of the stars of this class. Sleeper. Book it.

# | I'm new here and love this site, just wish I had known about it earlier. Great job! Bring up what? :)
No clue but I love both.
Noice!
Looks like its official, per bitter... At least we're pretty sure we got Ford

Go Hokies.

Where is Jim Weaver? Sounds like the Greenberg saga.
proper context or not, that's a whole lifestyle that you are negatively commenting on even if metaphorically.
regardless, I just don't think it needs to be on a blog about VT football and sports.

Sorry being new, I think I screwed the link up?
FSU having a good day, but they evidently lost a couple they expected n wanted also. Greedy Noles!
Their board is more upset than ours on their misses.
Watch coaches sit around still waiting. :)
Andrew Ford is very impressive.
Did anyone else hear that Ford has put on 6 lbs since being enrolled? Gentry is doing WORK.

Bama started recruiting him heavily late in the 2013 cycle.
I agree that we should be excited about the guys who are coming, but shouldn't use that as an excuse to not address areas of improvement in recruting that will help bring in more classes of even higher claiber in the future. That's my only point. Don't throw yourself off a bridge, but don't consider the problem "now fixed."
As we saw 5 years ago with "Why should we do anything about the offense - we're winning 10 games!" Complacency is the devil and good is the enemy of great. Don't wait until things are bad and you have to fix them, find things that can use fixing now and make yourself even better.
I didn't know what it was at first, but apparently the coaching staff is using Virginia Beach and the surrounding area as motivation for recruits to come there. Basically you only play 12 games in a season, so what are you going to do with the rest of your time in college.

Fortunately for the school, I don't live in Blacksburg. Being outside DC they will have to weed through FAR more shady people than me!
Huh....so the FSU hat and his entire family draped in garnet and gold really DID mean he flipped to FSU...crap.
That would be good, but apparently just a faulty fax machine according to the Fayetteville Observer. His coach has talked to Jimbo, and they still want him.
"He's building. The team's young. Give him time."
Oh I'll take a former baseball QB all day ... Hopefully this kid picked up some stuff from his pops. I just imagined a 6'3" 230lb Russell Wilson throwing on the run... Niceee!
never watch ESPN for the commentary
Right, but the problem is that we're putting all of our eggs in the in-state game, so that when the elite talent comes up we theoretically have a chance to get them. When we don't, it burns.
It doesn't matter if Alabama is whiffing on in-state elite talent because they are pulling in national elite talent...like the #1 recruit in VA. If we were doing that, in-state wouldn't matter as much.
The problem is that you can't not get your elite in-state talent and also not get elite out of state talent and expect to compete on a very high level. So, putting all of our emphasis on developing "relationships" with in-state coaches in order to land elite talent as a result of those relationships in the future and then whiffing is bad news bears. Maybe it's time to adjust the strategy a little bit.
Arguements can be made that part of the reason not to address Marcus Davis'....shortcomings...earlier/at all was because the coaching staff didn't want to damage their relationship with the Ocean Lakes Coaching Staff, but in the end Nnandi went to FSU anyway...
It's time to focus more on getting the best possible players from wherever, every year, and winning more ballgames including big ballgames which matter. Win and the recruits will come, this applies to everyone but UVA.
He definitely needs all the lbs he can get. Saw him the other day out there with Leal, Cline and Meyer and he looks pretty skinny compared to the rest of them. Rogers was out there too and he looks like a wrecking ball.
