I'm more excited about teller than I've been another recruit in a while. Kid is gonna be a monster. Appears to have a great motor and long arms to block the passing lanes if he can't get to the qb

Great opening line. Kudos! Only addition is that leadership in a team context often derives from confidence, and confidence from knowledge. So relentlessly pursuing that knowledge (in your head and by instincts/muscle memory) is one way to develop that type of leadership.

Please do not insult Kevin Spacey.

Levity apart, Mr. Weaver needs to understand that in order to succeed, you need a spirit of innovation grounded on a strong work ethic. I think he gets the work ethic part; but he reminds me of the mom & pop business that goes out of business because they fail to change and adapt to a faster pace of business.

What stupidity, CJ... Or anyone who uploads a picture like that. I hope he deletes that soon, the team doesn't need that.

Love the recruits, but I truly believe that Teller would be a first team All-ACC and potential top 10 pick at left tackle. He could be an outstanding defensive lineman as well, but when I look at his upside, it is higher at OL AND you have a ton of young DL depth right now.

It isn't going to happen, and I will be very happy if he is an All ACC defensive end/tackle as well.

Gallo is defintely a center if he is good enough to see the field.

Billy Ray Mitchell is the most ready to step on the field player in this class, and his best position is right tackle.

Tyrell Smith is a left tackle IF he can add the bulk he needs to add without losing speed.

Both Petit and Taylor could play either tackle or guard position. In order to play left tackle, both would need more experience pass blocking. At least based on their highlight videos, both play in run-first offenses.

I like different things about all five kids, but if I had to rank my excitement level about their potential upside, it would be:
1) Mitchell
2) Petit
3) Taylor
4) Smith
5) Gallo

You have to assume that McLaughlin is your left tackle for awhile, but only maybe a third of OL recruits will become starters, so competition and numbers are a good thing.

It was recent. He didn't like how he was treated all around. It was weird he grew up a VT fan, but he said he didn't like the offensive line coach/coaches. I wish I knew more, but maybe he was never one of their big targets. Recruiting is a strange world and I don't know what VT did to turn him away so much.

haha, I don't doubt that exists. I guess when I went to games during school, many people didn't have cell phones, and if they did, they definitely didn't have apps on them.

Times were simpler then, you went to the game, to well, watch the game...

Saw this earlier today, thanks for posting.

Christian Ponder is a lucky dude. Wish I knew her when she was at Liberty!
