Because we're all Sunday morning quarterbacks.

The Coastal chaos next season will be something to watch.

2022 NFL Draft Thread

Didn't see a thread so started one. Got a bunch of Hokies who will likely get drafted on day 3:

  • Amare Barno
  • Tre Turner
  • James Mitchell
  • Luke Tenuta
  • Lecitus Smith
  • Jermaine Waller (maybe)

Hoffman maybe has a shot as well but it's less likely. Blackshear and Jordan Williams are both getting flat disrespected, by not being listed on draft boards, imo.

A lot of the guys from above are sitting lower than I'd imagine as well. Can't fault them for leaving, because I believe they're all '18 class or earlier (with the exception of Mitchell, who absolutely should be leaving anyway). But I hate to see special talents like Tenuta and Waller so low on the list. Thoughts?

Link

The NCAA's Transformation Committee, formed by outgoing president Mark Emmert and an executive group of university presidents, is in the process of, essentially, reimagining the NCAA rule book from scratch, and so far what they've imagined is radically different from the current one.

๐Ÿšจ TKP NIL Deal #2: Dax Hollifield AMA, Thursday at 8:00 PM ET

TKP's doing it again. Virginia Tech linebacker Dax Hollifield will hang out with members of the TKP community and answer questions for an hour tomorrow night (4/28/2022).

Meta: As it stands now, this is an exclusive opportunity for TKPC members. However, if five of y'all get fully dipped before 7:00 PM tomorrow, I will open it up for all. That will help cover costs of the event. NIL is one of the ways I'm exploring to expand the function and value prop for TKPC and leverage NIL.

Note: This is not the AMA thread, that will be posted at 7 PM tomorrow.

Hokies Host Professional Development Night

I was browsing Twitter and saw some highlights of the Professional Development Night the the football team hosted.

I really like this type of event geared towards creating networks between current and former players and providing value after football for these kids.

There is a highlight video of the event at the bottom of the page. Not sure how to embed.

Hadn't seen this shared yet, but Alumnus Win Sheridan has pledged a $5 Million donation to renovate the football locker room. Hopefully his first name is a good omen. Are we getting a waterfall?!?!?

A moment

I am sad to share I won't be able to attend the #Hokies spring game on Saturday. My dad has taken a bad turn and I need to be with him. I will write the reviews as soon as I can, but I can't focus on football right now. I know our community looks forward to the spring reviews as a kickoff to the new season, and I promise when this passes I will provide the most detailed analysis possible.

I really appreciate all the support you have given me as my dad has been ravaged with COPD. Please hold your loved ones close and tell them you love them.

Arch Manning visiting LOLUVA

We point and laugh often, but I'm impressed that Tony Elliott was able to get the kid to visit. The connection to UVA through his family helps, but anyway you cut it, it's a big deal for them.
