I feel the same about the rough aspect, it looks uneven when you see 3 3/4 star QB's and then one 5 star. It doesn't equal out.

I can't see that one player has the amount of possibility that three could bring to a class, resting on one guy would scare me a lot more than the situation we have.

One signing day is over, I'd bet we see a lot more pinpointing. This is really going on verbals and early enrolled student athletes.

This is one year in particular Though, you will see a 22, 23, or 25th ranked class but it will end up bein closer to a top 3 a few years from now.

And that's already sans Taylor, Grimes, and (hopefully not) Nnadi.

Also on a personal note, could Shai and his handsome looks maybe toss Nnadi a bone with some fuckin LAX chicks already.

We may not have immediately brought in another elite QB but I would wager that a stunning percentage of recruits that have come through Blacksburg since have been at least somewhat swayed by the electricity that Mike Vick charged into the Tech program. Kevin Jones, Tyrod, and most of the 757 guys talked about Vick's legacy as a main reason that they chose VT.

Indeed.

And just to turn things on their head a bit, so far as those arguments go:

What would the average joe be willing to put up with for a chance at professional sports riches?

I think a scholarship, abundant free food, a degree if I want it, and free tutoring to achieve it are all pretty much icing on top of an already tasty BMOC cake.

Who among us wouldn't have grasped at that opportunity with both hands if we'd won that particular genetic lottery?

The alternative is (assuming we got accepted to a university in the first place) student loans, part-time jobs to supplement our meal and entertainment options, and the hope that we make enough connections and get good enough grades to make all our hard academic work pay off in any reasonable way.

Yes sir. That's some pretty good company to be in. I can't help but be jealous though. The things that Texas A/M have done is amazing.

Any idea why we didn't get looks at guys like That after MV7 bolted for the draft? I know we had Marcus and Tyrod eventually, but they had Manziel into the #1 QB in the land.

Not gonna lie, i freaked out at first when I saw your comment because I thought my profile got hacked. Nice avatar

nickname juice huh? so i guess we'll be yelling juuuuuice! when he makes a play? we havent had a guy with an 'ooo' sound in their name in a while, should be fun. the announcers will be all 'now they're not booing bob, they're yelling juuuuice.'

I don't like the idea of getting rid of the extra point. I know it at times seems meaningless, especially in the NFL because it's almost a give me 99 times out of 100, but it's just part of the game. I don't like changing aspects of a sport just because it may seem to make it more entertaining.

This past season proved that, with good coaching, even our patchwork O-line could improve vastly over the course of a season, as French's breakdowns have showed. Add the developing talent of Wyatt Teller and Alston Smith, along with new recruits, and I'd say things will be looking up.

they might get rid of 2-pt conversions at some point, but they're never going to make them mandatory. And I'm pretty sure the goalposts are already narrower than in college. Seems to me you see plenty of FB misses in the NFL, so nothing to fix there.

I hate to be Mr. Negative here, but who's going to block for them? Searels has one hell of a task ahead of him, hopefully he can solve it...
