SwvaOG 601 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 So far I'm tracking Brody Jones (VHS) on a PWO to VT; I believe Sneed (Union) is a true walk-on to UVA; Beavers (RV) has VMI, Bluefield, E&H and UVA-Wise and Hill (RV) is E&H and I think UVA-Wise. I know Connor Roberts (Graham) has Concord, Lehigh, Westminister, E&H, Bluefield. It would be cool to have a tracker at the top of the thread that could stay and be sorted by graduation year.

sixcat 2,919 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 I know a kid from Galax pretty well that is currently sitting on two scholarship offers. Waiting to see how applications to five other schools pan out before making a final decision. Ryan4VT and Gridiron60 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gridiron60 2,555 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 Bottom line, go where you can get your education paid for and get playing time. D1 is great but it may not always be the best option for the majority of athletes. Let’s be honest, a small percentage will play past college. I think too often, kids and parents get mesmerized by D1 offers. Hopefully, all our local talent end up playing & getting a great education wherever they land. I love seeing our locals succeed no matter what level they play. GaDawg88 and redtiger 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BandanaVTDavis4321 1,717 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 VMI is elite. No offense to the other schools for Beavers, but VMI is just straight up first class and elite in education and academic prowess. To each is their own of course, but VMI is a special place. They are some of the most coveted graduates in the country, especially if they choose to get out of the military after 4 years.

I believe Fort Chiswell had a football player go there last year , maybe year before, Varney kid. VMI very much elite in comparison to others listed.

Waiting to see how applications to five other schools pan out before making a final decision. I misspoke yesterday. Sixcat regrets the error! This kid has been accepted into 3 of the 7 schools in which they have applied. Two have offered scholarships. One full and the other at roughly 80%. Neither of those schools are likely to be the choice at the end of the day but the offers are flattering. RichlandsAlum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would never know there is a D-1 football program in the Tri-Cities. I think they should look to bring on 3-4 kids a year either scholarship or PWO.

They been historically too reliant on that Richmond and central VA talent. They should be about 15-20% local. Imagine if they landed Roberts (DE), Beavers and Harris (WR), Jones (LB/QB) and Hill (LB) this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty crazy that the football team has very little SWVA talent but both men's and women's basketball teams has plenty of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1inStripes 932 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 I think around 20 of their 75 dressed players on their roster are from SWVA/NET at E&H. Not counting the kids who are on the team but dont dress for games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emory and Henry might be getting their best football recruit. He's D1 AA (FCS) or small FBS (mid major) in my opinion. E&H is getting gold with this recruit if he ends up there.

He didn’t get a lot of the spotlight but he’s a solid player all the way around. I’m not saying anything changes but had he not been injured against King William, the game might have at least been closer. The past two seasons, he’s improved tremendously. He’s workhorse & has some wheels on him. BandanaVTDavis4321 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would he want to go to Ellen & Helen? Has 3 options, Bluefield U., Concord, Bluefield State, in his backyard plus UVA-Wise. Could even try a walk on at ETSU. Ellen & Helen, always been tooooo snobbish, ever hear of a place called “Abington” and now getting too politically correct according to some grads.
