CPF 409 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 Virginia Tech coaches will be in Bluefield tonight scouting Zay in person. Will another offer be forthcoming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those dumb a$$es shouldn't have to drive 60 minutes with only a couple of months left before signing day to decide whether they are going to offer him or not. The evidence has been there for 2 years. If Notre Dame can see it, well......I trust their judgment over Tech, and it's another Fuente failure that they are this late in the game.. Hopefully, when talking about VT coaches coming up to Mount Mitchell, you meant Sonny Dykes or Jeff Grimes were flying in from Texas. Just irritates the heck out of me. Another slap in the face to Southwest VA by good Fu. Now, if the Hokies were to nail down Sonny Dykes, then I'm sold on Bradshaw in that system. Dude could possibly have absolute field days full of fireworks in that offense. Now that I think about it, just any modern offense of which the old offensive genius "Fu" is inept with would do. redtiger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BandanaVTDavis4321 1,717 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 Just read where SMU offered Dykes a big extension due to the TCU and Texas Tech rumors. I'm sure good Ole dumbWhit is late to this party as well, and we can pretty much scratch Dykes off the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, I have lost even more respect for the Tech program. He has bigger and better offers already. He ahould get some early targets and touches. Graham may have 50 by half. If I'm Graham, after this week, Bradshaw gets more targets. BandanaVTDavis4321 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can't happen. Bradshaw, Meadows Jenkins(GC), Beavers, Lomax - idk if they can play at that level but Tech should be at least looking at them. It's shameful imo, and if as a program you're gonna have a motto like "This is Home" then you need to live by it and recruit home kids.

Don't believe that for a second If true I'd love to meet the dumbest person in the world I recall seeing Thomas Jones in the back of a sports illustrated magazine when he was a sophomore in High School along with some other High School athletes, something they did regularly back when I actually read sports illustrated. It was just pictures of future athletes to "look for" with a couple of statements beneath each. I'm sure he was on the radar of D-1 schools.

tiger2001 20 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 Tech has offered some of these kids a PWO. But Many of the kids with full offers choose not to publicly announce or put on social media there PWOs in fear of other schools offering the same thing. Tech is notoriously late to offer athletes in SWVA or bypass them completely and that is a problem. Hopefully the recent success of Mitchell , Cam , chance Harris , and others will dispel some of the stereotypes around our area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
