2013 Prospect Discussion Thread

Based on his dad's career, I'd hope Kyle Chung can turn into a All-American OT.

 

[HokieGhost]

Fwiw, Eugene Chung was 6'5", 245 pounds when he signed with Tech as an OL in 1987. Turned into one heck of a good player.

He is currently the Assistant to the Strength and Conditioning Coach for the Philadelphia Eagles.

My guess is if his son signs with Tech, he'll sign as an OL, too.

Definitely looks like a TE now and a pretty darned good one. There is so much talent in Florida that the scraps are still good

 

[EvanGWatkins]

Speed will be a factor for him to be a D1 TE. I would expect him to fill out to OL. Only time will tell

Bingo.

I thought fuzzball was big on how fast players were timed in the forty...K. Chung = 4.9 forty.

His high school page shows a 4.7 forty

Yes, I was aware of what espn, rivals, and 247 had.

His school is the source of it all, and they show 4.7

The services probably had his 16 year old time, and the school time should be his 17 year old time.

So now speed is important to you since it's a chance to disagree with me? He looks fast enough to me in the video

He may get a shot at TE but I would imagine he will be OL after his redshirt season... Just my $.02

Do you recall that you were the one who started hammering other posters about 40-times and how much speed mattered?

You can't be on both sides of the fence you built.

Why are you so defensive about this. Lighten up.

I'm not disagreeing with you, or anyone.

I'm doing the exact same thing you did, posting what you believe to be the truth. The HS coach times his players, counts weight lift reps, lists football stats, posts GPA, and provides assessments to anyone who will ask, while the online services grab whatever they can find, and sometimes its out of date.

I coached soccer for 30 years or so, and I had all the stats, State team, Regional team, times in the mile, 600, 100. GPA, Height, Weight, aspirations, career goals, etc.

Its the absolute best place to find out about players.

 

[Rocky]

FWIW, I didn't even know who the original poster was fooz.

 

[Hokie200proof]

So wait... what this board decides, the coaches do? Like if we all agree size is better than speed, we put that in a thread and Beamer & Co. make it happen on the recruiting trail?








Wow. I was under the impression that this was just a fucking message board.

Who are you responding to? I don't seen anything by anyone (certainly not my posts) that states, implies, or infers anything even close to that.

I know its a message board, but if its a fucking message board, I'm certainly not getting any. Who do I complain to?

 

[VTfoozball]

A video was posted of a player. Why? Hell I don't know maybe so we can get an idea of what kind of player they are? But let's all keep our opinions to ourselves (or at least I should) lest the football gods of sportshoopla set you straight. By the way video trumps some 40 time which may or may not be accurate

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Here we go!

Have at it boys. I read it all and love the banter. Try and keep it civil but I think this is a good idea.

I like how I was not the first one to make some sort of assessment on Chung yet this thread starts off with my post. I was not the inflammatory one this time. Neat double standard you got going here

Anyway judging by the highlights I don't think blocking is Chungs strong point. He's got a long way to go with size and strength

i don't think it has anything to do with you actually. the other thread is about recruiting NEWS...so a thread was started for people to discuss their thoughts on each recruit.

and to make my post somewhat on topic...i also think chung ends up on the ol if he chooses tech.
