Recruiting Battle 2012, the Commonwealth Cup edition...

[Forty_Sixand2]

So for those wondering how the wave of UVA recruiting momentum is going here it is:

Virginia Tech commits who have UVA offers:
JC Coleman
Trey Edmunds
Deon Clarke
Augie Conte
Der'Woun Greene
Desmond Frye
Chris Mangus
Brenden Motley
Nigel Williams
Davion Tookes

UVA commits who have VT offers:
Andre Miles-Redmond
Kwontie Moore
Courtnye Wynn
Eli Harold
Mario Nixon

Uncommitted with both offers
Joel Caleb
Ken Ekanem
Korren Kirven
Stefon Diggs



Am I missing anyone???

It favors VT 10-5 at this point:

I thought all our recruits automatically got whoVa offers?

Anthony Cooper? Scout & 247 say he had an offer from VT.

He definitely did not have a VT offer. Scout was wrong on that one. They liked him but he showed no interest in VT, and therefore they just didn't offer. I assume similar things with Devin Vandyke but in the other direction.

Definitely no offer.

thats all the players pretty much. there are some uncommitted guys with both offers (like darius hamilton) but he and the like have zero interest in either school

It is what it is. UVa won the state recruiting battle last year, and VT won it this year. That's the way it should be, IMO. If both schools can keep it up and keep the state talent home, then both teams could be looking at some awesome rivalry games in the near future.

I laugh at the Hoos that claim Londons race has nothing to do with it. Even Eli Harold said it did. Also, brings up he is a man of God, again. Is it sounding like a broken record yet?

That shit will wear off when they continue to middle around in the ACC. Pitt will come in and pass them quickly in the Coastal and they will head down another notch. I give London three more years that will go something like this:

6-6
7-5
4-8
7-5
6-6

I've heard it all now. The Hoos comparing Eli to Jadaveon Clowney.

How quickly they forget Rivals dropped him in the ranks with the last ranking. And ESPN only has him as the #15 DE.

They forget the part where they were comparing Harold now to Clowney at the age of 13.

I could not feel more differently about Mike London than the posters on that board, lol.

 

[Hokie Swagger]

will harold have to prep because of his grades? rivals free side lists him with a 2.5 gpa. uva with their "superior academics which hold them back from getting the best players" seems like itd be tough to be on the team with those kinds of grades.

 

[VT_Football_Fan]

No, he squeeked by NCAA standards with his ACT I believe. UVA doesn't have any extra standards since Groh left. If he can make it into Norfolk State, he can make it into UVA.

so whoVa goes by the NCAA minimum?

Funny because of all the years they have sounded off about how they couldnt take certain players.

Do you think he is going to turn it around?

 

[VT_Football_Fan]

Do you think he is going to turn it around?

Nope. Last season they got very lucky to end up in the Chick-Fil-A bowl. And got mowed by a pretty bad Auburn team.

Also, 4 of their W's came by 3 points or fewer. Next year I doubt they end up on the lucky end of those. They could have very easily been 4-9 with a team full of seniors.
