that this can't hurt our chances with derrick green. true << clemson may lead for him but their offensive schemes (spread mainly) don't equate to nfl schemes nearly as well as vt's do (i don't think they do anyway). with harris prepping, that spreads the depth out a little bit and it would be awesome to see a drew harris/derrick green tandem in future seasons. fwiw - i hope that edmunds goes to the defensive side of the ball. unless he is A LOT better than holmes, he better helps the team on that side of the ball.

Marshall Wood and Montrezl Harrell were both looking to go elsewhere around the time of the Greenberg firing.
Wood was talked into staying.
Harrell decided to go to Louisville.

I thought Marshall Wood was going somewhere else. Or wanted to or something, did that not happen? I'm out of the loop on this one.

While the Sandusky fiasco is horrendous and it is very difficult to believe that Paterno did not know and could not have done much more, the NCAA has no jurisdiction to levy ANY sanctions (let alone the death penalty) because the matter did not involve the football team or program, which is why there are no NCAA rules that govern same. The NCAA was designed to deal with fairness in collegiate athletics, which is not even of concern in the Sandusky case.

If the jersey ends up looking like that I might cry.

about that hat is A 'Neer fan doesnt know how to spell their mascot's name and remain unphased while a UVA fan has so little spirit they wouldn't recognize the different LOLogo

that it's a combination of a few things ... first of all, virginia is pretty talent-loaded, relative to most states but there are only 1 1/2 d1 football programs. we only have so many spots per year, this being a smaller year. and you have to look at each prospect individually regarding virginia tech.

- burns and hackenberg never got an offer from us -- they're not our type of back and we got the one we wanted (hodges)
- allen lived in alabama for the brunt of his life and is a childhood tide fan -- it was always a long shot with him
- levenberry NEVER had ANY interest in either of the in-state schools. he was michigan or fsu pretty much from the get-go
- mizzell -- bayside hs = uva pipeline .. with vt's rb depth, he is a long shot
- derrick green -- we're in it but with our rb depth, a probably #2 or #3 for him right now (behind clemson and osu)
- matt rolin may have a brother who walked on at vt .. but he is a lifelong, gamecock legacy (i think his dad and grandfather both went there) .. everyone else was a long shot
- wyatt teller with either be a hokie or hoo
- doug randolph committed to stanford early .. obviously getting a TOP NOTCH education was big on his list and he likely reached out to him. neither uva or vt had a chance (though some hoos still seem to believe that he may be swayed to uva)

we ended up with the qbs (yes..that's plural) that we wanted, the top two OL in the state, will likely end up with the best cb in the country (and possibly the #1 recruit in the country in the end). we'll end up with a SMALL class and still end up with a top 25 class most likely. not sure what you really expect. vt is branching out and recruiting in more states now. i'd say that, because of the in-state talent that we have combined with the lack of legit d1 schools, that the ratio is lower than most states.

for the rest of us.
