I fully believe it will happen. Just haven't heard it from a source I can run with yet.
Over/under on that he handed out more cards than they had fans at their spring game?

I'm sure Beamer doesn't play the negative card but I'm sure he compares them.. whether or not he states it as a negative I have no idea
QUARTERBACK COMPETITION. RUNNING BACK COMPETITION. WIDE RECEIVER COMPETITION. Last year, we didn't have enough bodies. Depth is the word on offense.
00:11:53–00:12:02
Not many...and almost all were fairly unsuccessful except Ditka. I'm sure I'm missing a few, but off the top of my head:
Mike Ditka (already mentioned
Bart Starr
Art Shell (already mentioned)
Norm Van Brocklin
Mike Singletary
Otto Graham
Forrest Gregg
Joe Schmidt
If Russ Grimm ever gets a HC gig, you could add him to the list. Ozzie Newsome, John Elway, and a few others have been GMs or team presidents.
We don't play the negative card. Beamer says so in his book. He won't let his program become one that bashes others. He wants to win a player's commitment by selling the benefits of his program.
yeah for sure, just hope he can see beyond the glitter and gold of this year for FSU and looks at how our Program as a whole has had a great rep/ on the up an up.
A big negative VT could play to Nnadi would be the Jameis situation.. do you want to go to school where those rumors/things are happening. Also based on experience Tallahasse is a shithole (sorry for cussing) nothing but nasty college bars and kids that think they're richer than Bill Gates.
Additionally, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Trinity Christian is the same school that Isaiah Ford goes to. Edit* Nevermind it says so in the article.
Not to be outdone, Mike London has recently been spotted in hospital maternity wards, putting up cards saying "YOU!" on each of the newborns' rooms.
I'll believe it when Andy Bitter reports it
Here's an article about the kid: http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/blogs/recruiting/os-8th-grader-tyr...
He goes into the two deep day 1 he is on campus. That has to be the message.

I know his nickname is "Juice" - but after looking at that photo, I would like to submit the following:
That kid looks like he is 22.
Hopefully they can. The thing that sticks out in my mind is the way Nnadi has scheduled his visits. FSU first, then tOSU, VT, and for some inexplicable reason, UVA. It's almost as if he's telegraphing it - FSU is the favorite, but I dare you guys to change my mind. If we can do that, we'll get him. Here's hoping.
We just offered an 8th grader the other day. I think that speaks for itself on Frank Beamer's longevity at VT.
Per the player's coach, Frank Beamer has offered an 8th-grader in Jacksonville: http://t.co/9Q6HNXoXPc #VT #Hokies— Keith Niebuhr (@Niebuhr247) January 19, 2014
Guys, not only did FSU win the NC but its probably the easiest Route to the NFL, does anyone expect Jameis to be back for his Junior year.. Heck NO so it could be that FSU gives those guys the path to NFL stardom as well.
Also with timmy jernigan leaving there is an easy way for him to get in and play right away, not saying that VT doesn't offer that opportunity but look at the bigger picture outside of playing time.
Just my 2 Cents
I think it'll have more to do with what position the program is in and his health. He should have and experienced QB and if Loeffler has the offense in order after a few seasons I see him giving it one last hurrah for the Crystal Football. After that I can see him retiring or if things aren't going so well. He has stated he's sensitive to staying too long.

Another expert on 247 predicted Javon Harrison to FSU yesterday also. (along with 3 experts picking FSU for Nnadi)
This would be extremely painful if we lost both to FSU....
Come on coaches...close strong!

Biggest thing that stands out to me is how quickly he hits the hole, there's no dancing or hesitation behind the LOS. Good to see a back like that coming to VT to balance out some of the scat backs we have now
Don't let the power fool you. He has plenty of flash. He proved to be much more elusive and much more prone to jump cut ala a Ryan Williams than I expected. He isn't a pure battering ram, even though I fully expect him to be characterized by writers who don't actually watch the players play as the power back and McKenzie as the "big play speed guy." I think Shai probably wins in a timed 40, but both guys are quick, both guys are powerful, and both guys understand how to set up blocks and get north south. Where Marshawn often jump-cuts, Shai sets up his blocks with subtle shoulder "shimmeys" and bounces outside. His style reminds me of Kevin Jones and, to a greater extent, a much more talented and bigger Michael Holmes. He is so patient until he gains an angle, and then he has special explosion.
Comparison, yes. Playing time discussion, yes. Rumormongering about a kid who was cleared of wrongdoing just to make it seem like FSU is a terrible place, no.
