I don't have a story that equals any of these. I did however win tickets to the Temple game in 2000 while watching the old Hokie Hotline show. Beamer handed me the tickets himself. Keep in mind, this was year 2000 Beamer and I was just an 18 year old kid. Pretty cool moment.

It's impressive that he's huge and can still run a 4.68. In my opinion, speed is actually more important than power for a qb, because you don't want your qb taking many hits anyway. With both power and speed, he definitely has a lot of potential. Good work by Loeffler on flipping him to VT.
Am I the only one who finds this:
rather creepy?
ya. park went to GA and cornwall went to Bama. after that we went after ford

No Pass.
Used to work at a restaurant when I was in college, Cam and Orion Martin used to frequent, as well as Deron Washington. All very cordial and classy individuals. Cam is coaching his H.S. football team now.
Yeah. I'm a bit confused by this commitment.
I really don't like his throwing motion. Could be the camera angle, but is he actually leaving his feet on a bunch of those throws??
He does bring another element to the table though. Powerful runner. And does appear to be faster than LT3.
But I can't help but wonder like French: Who are we losing?
Thanks dude. If you looked at it in high resolution you would see the hack job I did on the photoshop work. I don't want to get in the way of sales for TKP either so unless they want to sell it I encourage everyone to buy the official one.
If people really want it and Joe wants to sell it then I am happy to give to TKP for them to do so. But it looks like only 8 people liked it, so I'm not sure that's gonna happen! haha
I'm glad you mentioned Tebow because that is exactly what I saw watching that film. The only way I say he stays at QB is if Loeffler sticks with that style of offense. Otherwise, I'd say he will probably be a H-Back. He could help out with the scout team being a QB for option offenses.
I thought the whole story on Ford was the Lefty was waiting for the other two kids to decide where they were going and then Ford was the top pick. The other two kids chose other schools and the opportunity was there with Ford so we offered him with the idea that he was our #1 recruit. Does anyone else remember that?
We have a wide open race at the position next year. The more quality players competing the tougher the competition and we all know competition breed excellence. QB is one of those positions you want the absolute best playing. As long as he knows what he's getting into, I love it.
Right back at ya for this one
Yes, Mike London, you actually can have quality AND quantity in recruiting classes.
I'm shocked by the playing time comments. I don't see many scenarios where he doesn't redshirt. Even in 2015 if Bucky is a TE, you've got Ford, Motley and Durkin all competing.
Not to mention 9 running backs.
This video has a lot of his throwing highlights, he looks good enough to compete for the job for sure.
Based on Durkin's comment about playing early, I can see this convo in my head.
"Chris Durkin, quarterback."
"Mark Leal. Starting quarterback."
"I know. That is why they recruited me."
Though he didn't grow up there, I found one Hokie born in Texas.
His younger brother starts for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
PICK 6 BIG SHOOTS

Bahahahahahahhahahahahahaa!!!!!!!!!!!
I would go with Ford. I think he has better pocket presence and a more accurate arm. I feel that in order to attract top-tier TEs, WRs, OLs, and maybe even RBs, its crucial that we can get a guy that can put the ball on the money (and take pressure off the RB, not take away carries.) Not that we haven't gotten great talent around Vick or Tyrod, but I think that recruits are more enthused to play for a great NFL pocket passer than a scrambler. However, I'm sure we'll find out who the front runner is for the spring game. Who knows, maybe one of them won't be redshirted.
So I was reading a UCLA message board today and they seem to think that USC's defense is "miles" better than Tech's. They are in for a rude awakening if they really believe this.
Off the top of my head, our 2011 recruiting class had Malleck flip from Maryland, Jarret from Pitt, and Redman from UVA... maybe even more. Maddy or Dadi might have de committed from elsewhere too. I'm sure there was one or two in the past 2 recruiting classes as well. Happens all the time with 17 and 18 year old kids getting caught up in the moment and committing to schools before they are ready. This was an interesting one as Durkin seemed to be pretty set on MSU for a while.
If I'm not mistaken, McCray took part in Senior Day this year against Maryland, so I'm going to guess that he's not coming back.
