From the looks of it, could possibly contain the Cassell...as well as an actual castle.
dude needs to charge his phone
I would also expect coaches to look into using him as an old school style tailback. Taking snaps. Throwing the ball. Running.
This here is downright epic, I have only one question is the Frank Beamer Terror Dome built around the already existing Lane Stadium?
I'm not sure if I got this. Did all of you say QB?
Katy is on of the powerhouses of TX football; numerous 5A state championships (runner-up last year, champions in 2012). We'd LOVE to have that pipeline turned on!
As far as Brown goes, here's an interview with him; apparently he was too big for his mother's womb!

Not sure. the pro-combat did:
JUMP ON THE PRO COMBAT BANDWAGON, NOW!
Random...but why on earth do our gloves only say "NIKE" instead of a VT or even better the old fighting gobblers logo?
I really hope so. I really don't like how some bowls are just named after the sponsor now instead of just including the company in the name. Peach Bowl is MUCH better sounding and i can't believe they ever changed it.
Great work sir
Considering his coaching, I'm guessing that "somewhere" is "in his ass".
Cautiously excited with lots of prayers to whatever god likes to dabble in recruiting I would say.
Congrats bra...
Well this cant be a bad sign. Isaiah Ford on the right.
If this class rounds out with Nnadi, Harrison, Minor, Bronson, Peyton and I. Ford all signing LOI's on 2/5, it may be the best recruiting class on paper that VT has ever achieved. Even just the first 4 would make it spectacular. Is it officially time to get excited for 2/5?
I'm completely on the other end of the spectrum. I really don't see what he's not getting here - The schools have agreed to abide by the NCAA rules, one of which states that schools can be punished by fans tweeting recruits. This is not a 1st amendment issue, it is not really a legal issue. It is an NCAA issue. They can punish whoever they want in their club as they see fit because the members agree to it. Whether or not you like it is pretty irrelevant.
"Why? because you have nothing to support your argument."
You know, other than the facts as they currently exist. No, seriously, that's what I have and it's not a bad hand to hold. It's not a First Amendment issue because the NCAA has not been shown to be a state actor in prior legal actions. The one analogous agency that was considered a state actor saw its regulations upheld. You're the one arguing that everything that currently exists is wrong. Browning's article which you cling to is about schools regulating things students tweet, not about this matter. Your Google searches would be more effective if you weren't throwing up crap like that or quotes about collective bargaining earlier while patting yourself on the back about how smart you are.
"Simply because they say fans cannot tweet recruits doesn't mean they can't. It only means that they view it that way. Nothing more."
Actually, it means that fans can't tweet recruits because the NCAA makes the rules, just like they say fans can't give a recruit a car to go to their school of choice. Actually, that's not totally accurate- the fans can do whatever. The schools will be the one to suffer. Ask Alabama after boosters paid Albert Means to go to Alabama, or Mississippi State who was sanctioned last year because of a booster's actions.
"The NCAA has no right to tell any casual fan what they can do with their life. "
As soon as you start trying to compel a student to go to a school you are no longer a casual fan. The NCAA can't stop individuals, but they can and have punished schools for the misbehavior of fans who cross the line. The schools are absolutely liable, which is why they make a point of telling people don't talk to recruits. Do you agree that fans calling recruits to get them to go to a school is a violation? It's the same as tweeting them. Otherwise, you're saying the NCAA can set no rules at all. They are a private organization and the NCAA and its member organizations can set their own rules and definitions. If schools didn't like it they could move to change the rules.
"Me: Here is my opinion that is supported by all these facts by lawyers that specialize in the field that say you are wrong."
Except in everything you've brought up they've written that it's their opinion. And it's usually related to the different issue of students tweeting and whether schools can punish them for things they tweet (which they have done, with limits).
This would be such a great pick up!!
God I hope you're right man.
I guess both programs are just both steaming piles of WELP now.
The guy is going to be a great player. Let's just hope he will be a great player for Virginia Tech. February 5th can't get here quick enough.
If he dominates, who bloody cares? I can't stand the bigmouths who then don't deliver. If you crush it, to the victor goes the spoils.

# | Bitter blog - Leaving VT for LSU 'a tough decision' for Jeff Grimes but 'a great opportunity' We appreciate everything he's done, best of luck at LSU next year Grimes!
There is no mistaking that jersey combination. The orange-ish ones at 1:13 were harder to decipher (I still don't know).
