This is effin awesome!!!! He is going to be a beast and get major playing time right away. Can't wait for the Spring Game.

No offense to the older guys on the team, but we are about to graduate some of the worst recruiting classes in recent memory. 2008, 2010, and 2011 were forgettable when it comes to recruiting, which is why it should come as no surprise that the team that those years produced is sub-par. Give it another years or so and you'll really start to notice an increase in talent.

I want to see power running and a crushing defense. None of this spread stuff, no trick plays. You blow the opponent off the line, you run it down their throats, and you grind them into submission. And on defense you punch them in the mouth and make them wish they could punt on first down.

Yep. Reminds me a whole lot of XAdibi. Long stride, big hitter. Kid is gonna thrive.

First, I didn't start the conversation about him being lazy. Davis did when he didn't even try on plays. Second, His shoulders were messed up the last year but not his entire time at VT. The effort was always lacking, not just in the last season. Third, I never said my work ethic was better than his. What I said was that I would choose a more dependable WR that tries on every play, not just on ones where he is involved.

Also I would like to say that many players play hurt. It's part of the game. Hell, Nosal had part of his finger torn off. Both Wang's played hurt practically their entire career. The difference between them and Davis is despite being hurt they gave an effort every play. You don't see Wang just not block someone. I hope Davis recovers from surgery and plays in the League as well. I hope he succeeds. None of that changes how he performed at VT unfortunately.

Fourth, That entire season Beamer, Stiney and Sherman all commented on waiting for Davis to have his breakout game that would light the fire under him. All the way up to the bowl game. From what I recall they never mentioned that he was playing hurt and that was a contributing factor to his performance or lack thereof. I think that would have come up, especially after the video surfaced. Don't you? If you know of a time they did please show to me as it would definitely help put his lack of effort in better perspective for me.

Davis himself didn't even mention it in his response to the video. HERE

Finally, would like to close with a quote from Marcus himself found HERE from 2010

"I'm not saying it's a lot, but I know it's going to be a lot more than I played last year," he said. "If it's two or three plays a game, I'm going to give it 100 percent on each one. Effort is what we talk about in every meeting, and I'm going to go out this year and show that I have the fire to play the game."

If he had followed his own advice we wouldn't be having this conversation.

What a legend...man i love Shayne

Deshazo was the first VT I saw play live. I hate the spread too. Anymore, I will actually watch any game where a team is running a power I formation and imagine that it isV t running it like the good ol days! I know I am sick

Noisy, annoying ads, FOR, not AGAINST, correct? (not trying to start a discussion, just curious)

It's kinda harder to upvote when it gets so vertically stretched.

With 3 seconds left.
That's second game now since he joined the team, a week before Christmas, that he's been the winning margin.

For Camille, one is awarded a leg.

Early to mid 90s here as well.
