If Virginia offers, grades are a complete non-factor. cityofRaven and GMan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GustheGuesser 10 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 This is a not entirely true. And I'm not knocking Virginia, but I remember Herman Moore didn't qualify at Virginia Tech but he did qualify at Virginia. Schools have different core class requirements. And certain conferences have different rules for non-qualifiers. NCAA just sets up the guidelines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you are right I'm sure Virginia Tech being on probation with limited scholarships played a role in them not offering Moore. And that he is probably the real reason they didn't offer him before his SAT score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GustheGuesser 10 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 From the LA Times October 9, 1990 Gene Wojciechowski "The Moores weren't considered national-caliber recruits. Virginia got Herman Moore because Virginia Tech wouldn't commit a scholarship to him until he scored high enough on his Scholastic Aptitude Tests. When the Cavaliers said they would offer him a scholarship no matter the outcome, Herman became a Virginia convert. Shortly thereafter, he scored well enough on the SATs. Sorry Hokies. "Virginia was willing to take a chance," Moore said. GMan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cue my retort about it not being electronically timed or non-wind aided. Cue a second retort about how VT-measured times are historically very suspect and inaccurate to the point where other ACC member institutions joke about their recruits' 4.4 time being a 3.9 time in Blacksburg. Cue my disclaimer that this does not mean that both of these young men are not extremely fast human beings. Cue my further explanation that both of these young men are exceptional athletes, in particular Beck, whose state championship sprints put him among the best high school sprinters in the history of the VHSL. Nevertheless, cue my explanation that a legitimate 4.29 would put him sniffing a 10.00-flat in the 100m, which is world-class time, and would certainly all but end his football-playing days, as every major university and USTF would be beating his door down to come run 100m for them. Cue my conclusion that it is more likely that Beck ran in accordance with his 10.41 100m mark set this year, which would put him in the high 4.3 range. Cue my secondary conclusion that Cooke's likely time would be around the high 4.4 range if timed legitimately. Cue my final sentence, where I would implore the reader to read my second paragraph several more times before throwing shade or accusing me of hating.

GMan 3,569 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Cooke ran a 4.37 a couple weeks ago at a camp down south that was electronically timed. And do you really think VT has invested in electronic timers by now??? LOL Beamer ain't the ball coach anymore... stu_bean 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1inStripes 932 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Maybe not RB but at 6'1", if he has decent hands a move to flanker would be ideal with his speed and size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
