nrv_football 81 Report Share Posted July 28, 2023 Anyone know Giles numbers? Back when I was in school consistently had over 40. Seems that depth has been an issue over the last few years. Odd that other schools of the same size and some even smaller have way more kids coming out and higher numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be wore out by the 3rd quarter playing both ways. Injuries would be very bad with numbers like that. That is very pitiful considering other 1A schools with less enrollment have better numbers than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The staff was able to run JV-specific stations during practice this week. What a difference a couple of years makes!

BandanaVTDavis4321 1,717 Report Share Posted July 29, 2023 Giles had 24 receive equipment. Roughly 5-6 already have their equipment. 2 more got equipment today (afternoon). 3-4 on vacation and will return this weekend for Monday AM practice. We will have around 35ish to 38 max to open the season against Blacksburg. SWVAgridiron and nrv_football 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gridiron60 2,555 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 Graham looked to have 50ish give or take when I drove by on my way to work this afternoon. Maybe someone can independently verify the exact number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to hijack the thread, but since Gridiron60 mentioned Graham, Brody Meadows is now projected to start at Virginia Tech at Left Tackle as a redshirt freshmen in the OPINION of ONE source. It's NOT official. https://www.gobblercountry.com/2023/7/31/23814445/virginia-tech-hokies-roster-review-offensive-line-acc-football Any word on Union, Galax, George Wythe, Ridgeview, Grayson, Bluefield, Richlands? I'm interested in how many these schools have out. I just read where one of the Graham fans wrote that Hairston is out for the Bluefield vs Graham game. That's a Monumental loss for Bluefield. It's the kind of loss that can be the factor as to whether the Beavers compete or don't compete for a state title. Gridiron60 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Media day is Saturday, so we'll see how many are in the pic. Also, we'll see how close we are on the 1 to 1 coach/player initiative.
