Will David Wilson stay?

I think it goes without saying that David Wilson is one of the most electrifying backs that Blacksburg has ever seen. As this season begins to draw to a close, and he continues to impress by playing his best football yet - one of the biggest questions for Hokie fans everywhere begins to arise - will he stay?

Wilson is currently listed as the #3-#5 (depending where you look) running back prospect for this year's NFL draft. This likely would result in a 2nd round draft pick at best. It will be interesting to see whether Wilson goes out and takes the money while its there, or comes back for a chance at solidifying a first round draft pick. I also find myself wondering if the cautionary tales of recent teammates like Darren Evans will aid in his decision-making process.

Taking a look at next season's schedule, it won't be the leisurely stroll down candy cane alley that this year was:

-Season opener @ Pittsburgh - Not exactly world beaters but it sure aint App State
-Cincinnati @ FedExField
-@ Miami
-Finishing up the season playing Fla. State in Lane and a last-week trip to Clemson

...clearly - a step up from this seasons schedule (as we were one of ~10 teams in the country without a ranked opponent on the beginning-of-season schedule.

I wouldn't be surprised if that VA Tech/FLA State game in week 10 had some serious national title implications.

There is no doubt that Logan Thomas will be in full beast-mode come next season, but with the 1-2 punch of him and David Wilson, we have a chance at a real special season.

So what will Wilson choose to do? Does he take off for the league while a substantial amount of money is calling his name, or does he stick it out for another year in the 'Burg for a chance at a bronze statue and a shiny diamond ring?

This Hokie fan has his fingers crossed for the latter.
