BandanaVTDavis4321 1,023 Report Share Posted February 1 4 hours ago, Cousin_Hoyt said: 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. He could walk on at ETSU in my opinion and have a scholly by December the first semester. Only my opinion. I think he was the best all around football player on the Graham football team this year and that is with Roberts and Clements. Just my opinion.

1inStripes 772 Report Share Posted February 1 E&H looks to have done pretty well with some of the top SRs in SWVA this year. I saw where Lomax has transferred from Morehead to UVA Wise as well. Nice addition for the Cavs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf1207 163 Report Share Posted February 2 I’m sure E&H is a great school and it appears their football program is taking off a bit since the move to d-2. I’m not sure I could have turned down the offers to West Point. Graduation from there with successful service is pretty much a guaranteed 6 figure or more income for life.

I think he’s good enough to play at west point but he’s probably guaranteed to see the field 90% of the time at emory. As far as education goes both are pretty damn good compared to other schools. Being in the service with that degree looks a lot better on a job resume when it’s all said and done however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Payscale ranks West Points Return On Investment at #4 in the United States with an average base salary index of $118k. Emory & Henry is ranked #1841 with an average base salary index of $66k. Niche gives West Point an academic grade of A+ and Emory & Henry an academic grade of C+. West Point is elite. E&H simply is not. Fine school. Nothing wrong with a degree from E&H but it's not in the same galaxy as West Point. cityofRaven, redtiger, swva_havok_fan and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1inStripes 772 Report Share Posted February 2 Yeah West Point is on another level from anyone around here. But also theres a lot of demands that go into it outside of football that I can understand why some would be more apprehensive about.

ehcwasp 25 Report Share Posted February 2 Most likely based on location, and maybe the chance to play sooner. I'd also be willing to bet that Emory completed more passes than Army attempted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of sacrifice that goes into anything with the military. After doing a few years with Uncle Sam's Misguided Children I can certainly appreciate that. ehcwasp and 1inStripes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BandanaVTDavis4321 1,023 Report Share Posted February 2 All military academies are elite. Some of the most highly coveted graduates in the USA. Employers know that if a kid can get through that for 4 years and have that kind of discipline from about 18-22 or 19 to 23, it's impressive. Not to mention, the military service of 4 years. These kids are develop leadership and team building skills that just simply aren't matched hardly anywhere, and the level of self discipline is clearly there after 8 years of proof. It's not just Westpoint (Army), Air Force or the Naval Academy. Citadel, VMI, are equally impressive as well as Virginia Tech's Corp of Cadets and Georgia Southern's Corps. The academics for the military academies is just crazy tough, and not to mention, physical training and all the military stuff that goes in addition to the studying. If you get a degree from one of these institutions, the odds are you are going to be set for life financially. Exceptions always apply of course, but by in large, it holds true. 1inStripes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwvaOG 349 Report Share Posted February 3 Looks like EHC got Prioleau from Radford as well. That’s four impact kids from the SWVA footprint (if we are including Radford). So, they got the majority of the SWVA footprint that are playing college football. It will be interesting to see how the D-1 walk-ons do. There is always the argument of D-2 playing time vs D-1 redshirting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that topic, with transferring to higher level programs being what it is now would going to a D2 and playing for a year lead to better positioning as a Sophomore than redshirting and potentially getting buried on the depth chart? Idk, just curious to see how it works out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see this from a completely different perspective. Sports Illustrated did an exhaustive report not too long ago that was jarring and completely unexpected. I'm surprised it didn't get more traction. 54% of players who have entered the transfer portal to-date, have found a new school in which to play. 8% of that 54% lost the scholarship they had at their previous school and signed with the new school as a walk-on. 41% dropped to the lower levels of NCAA and even NAIA. 5% haven't played football since entering the transfer portal. It was exceedingly rare for a player to transfer from D2 to D1 football prior to the transfer portal. I don't see the transfer portal magically making that number increase. I actually see the reverse happening. Players not catching on to another D1 program after entering the transfer portal will drop to D1-AA or D2 and raise the level of play in those lower divisions.
