My favorite parts are the "recognized by *insert name here*"
Now, I don't really know anything about the old championship selectors, and I'm sure they're at least somewhat legitimate, but it's really amusing to see it and claim ignorance.
Auburn, recognized national champions by John Smith, 35 year old Alabama resident. Hang a banner!
Derrick Nnadi: VT
Javon Harrison: FSU
Raymon Minor: VT
Isaiah Ford: Louisville
Isaiah McKenzie: VT
Kevin Bronson: VT
Anthony Scott: VT
Two McKenzie's as well.
strange coincidence: this recruiting class might have two Isaiah's and 2 Ford's.
It was a free article on 247. They said that the AD is considering adding up to 7. There are some they believe they are more qualified to claim than others, but their argument is that they were number 1 in at least 1 poll so therefore, they were National Champions.
I think (and my hope is) the athletic department figured in order to obtain the outlined goals/bonuses, significant fundraising would have to be conducted. Getting two birds with one stone hopefully.
He has academic issues and apparently he isn't eligible to prep. Minor that is. At Marshall he can get accepted right away. Unfortunate. We can really use him. Hopefully things will work out. Fingers crossed.
Nnadi- i am on the fence. I will cry if we dont get him
Harrison- FSU. I'd love to have him, but i just dont think its in the cards. Hope I'm wrong.
Minor - Hokies
Ford- Hokies
McKenzie- He will be the Jayron Hosley of this class, coming out of no where and be awesome for us. Very excited.
Bronson - Hokies
Scott - I think hes a solid recruit but I wont be crushed if we dont land him. No real prediction here.
I updated the original post with the link
And yes, its serious
Growing the hokie club to raise an additional 1-1.5 million a year is the only reason why JJ might be around next year. They might want him to have the money first.
source? I thought this was a parody, but when I clicked, you sound so serious.
Should we really be competing with Marshall for a player? It's kind of like us competeing with JMU or William and Mary... given Marshall is a little different, but you know?
Thats a really really great point. I'm surprised that isnt included.
Except for Clemson. They get to use the Governor's plane.

Clemson
*Only coaches at major colleges/universities would that be considered a 100% accurate statement. DII, DIII, High School - not so much.
here in Richmond
I thought you were in Central America, when did you get back stateside? Either way, welcome back!
i have been thinking whit babcock sounds like a weatherman or sports guy on the 6 o'clock news.
Nnadi: VT (Everybody is saying FSU, my gut tells me he sticks with the good guys)
Harrison: FSU (I think there is a chance he becomes a Hokie but FSU will be just too tough for him to pass down IMO)
Minor: Marshall (Grades, nothing you can do)
Ford: VT
McKenzie: VT (We will have a speedy player again hopefully)
Bronson: VT
Scott: VT
I am surprised there are no fundraising specific's in the contract for bonuses. I would have thought that he could have really raked it in. Those all seem to be athletic performance based that are not nearly his to control. I am definitely in the wrong business.
I hope horse wasn't leading with his head there....
You're making me hungry Joe, I think I must order Buz and Ned's BBQ here in Richmond for lunch now.
Ok this one totally creeped me out.
