Thats embarrassing, my bad
We can just have shirts that say "We just gave your QB a Hand job"
He's a junior currently. He has one more year of high school football.
I read somewhere last night that said he would decide sometime near signing day. Who knows how credible it was though.
The kid is just a Sophmore, he's got a lot of time to think.
I agree. I'm assuming these guys know little to nothing about technique due to how bad Newsome was. The smallest amount of coaching will have a dramatic impact compared the "you're bigger than them so don't let them by" approach previously taught.
People complain about Monday night Labor Day Game - Weaver Cancels Thursday night game
WVU wants to play us again - Weaver schedules a long term series with East Carolina
No TV, so VT sets the kickoff time - Weaver insists they all be played at 1:30
These two kids are from Chicagoland, far from the "mind-numbing nothingness" you drive through on the way to Iowa. Though, SWVA is still a much more beautiful place than anywhere I ever went in IL (aside from possibly downtown Chicago, but that's not really a fair comparison given the stark contrast there).
sounds dirty. hahaha
loluva, in their infinite wisdom, DOES NOT promote TOB to HC, because God forbid they actually develop a QB or two.
We want our HAND in everyone's backfield.
1. London has a lousy year, wahoos go 4-8 or worse, but in their infinite wisdom, UVA retains their favorite cop. Does TOB find another head coaching job elsewhere?
2. London has a lousy year, wahoos go 4-8 or worse, and LOLUVA shows London the door. Do they elevate TOB to HC?
also says we have the upper hand if engineering ends up being a big factor in his decision
I can attest to the fact that the worst 8 hours of the trip was always the stretch from Indianapolis to the Mississippi river, esp. IL. Indiana was at least nice green famland. Illinois was just long stretches of boredom punctuated with areas of mind-numbing nothingness. If you get one of these kids that has decent talent, one trip to Blacksburg in the spring or fall will go a long way toward convincing them that it's a beautiful place.

Is the team to beat too. Bud foster is his favorite coach, but Michigan is his favorite staff. I believe he said that in an interview a while back. He also stated that if he went their he would study Business. So that says he has put a lot of thought into them.
anyone heard anything about when he plans on deciding? I know sometimes people either hear or get the feel that a player is going to wait until signing day. Would love to get him early and attract other talent.
I feel like there are just so many possibilities for Hand in terms of awesome nicknames. Hopefully we can spend a good bit of time next signing day discussing our favorites that we've spent the last 2 years thinking about.
You'd have to imagine that, at the very least, he will be at the Spring Game. I mean we are definitely in his top 2 and that just seems like a no brainer for him to do. Someone, more clever than me, needs to come up with t-shirts something like "Get your Hand on an ACC trophy" or "Lend us a Hand in filling the trophy case"
On the bright side, Michigan is probably the one school in this race that we can use the "well, at least we have nicer weather" bit against.
I think it depends on his recruiting class and how many of the big fish in VA he lands. Ideally they would still fire him and then those guys can jump ship to us, but who knows what will happen
I say that answer is yes. We might have to modify the UVA coach failure flow chart a tad, but I think it's a safe assumption.
Michigan is the team we need to worry about, but I think overall, we are the team to beat. Hopefully it stays that way.
Hand keeps citing his enthusiasm to study engineering as a big part of his decision. As such I expect Michigan to be the biggest hurdle to him becoming a Hokie. I don't think this is a kid that can be swayed by Saban and the SEC big boys.
1 - I don't want to play WVU again. I'm glad that series is over.
2 - 1:30 is better than noon...
