Attrition

[EvanGWatkins]

This has been very hush hush but now I guess it is out there -

@AndyBitterVT: Linebacker Nick Dew, safety Theron Norman no longer on team, expected to transfer, Virginia Tech confirms. No reason given. #Hokies

Interesting. I wonder if we're going to get a reasoning for both of them because I've always been interested in what would happen to Nick Dew.

Expect him to suit up for ODU, NSU or Hampton in the near future IMO

If there is an upside, at least there are more snaps for RVD now- he seemed like the whip of the future anyway

Thats probably while Dew is transferring. He has been in the system for a few years as 4* recruit and just hasn't taken off. Younger guys are showing more promise.

Could be a factor but not the main reason...

Yeah, I heard academics. Does this mean anything for the offer to Burks?

It's another open spot on the roster. I gotta think that's a good thing.

been hearing rumors about these 2 for a while, hate to see it become official but to add to the upside, thats 2 more schollies.

just a guess but i'd say:
DEW=Looking for more PT
Norman=grades

EDIT didnt see what EGW posted above

Unfortunate it is not going to work out for these guys. Nick Dew (and Norman too) had some major promise IMO. Good luck to them wherever they end up.

On the flip side, you hate to hear about guys transferring, BUT, it opens up scholarships for future Hokies, and gives these guys an opportunity to go elsewhere and get some significant PT. As long as VT isn't getting in the practice (as some of the SEC schools are Matty) of just kinda pushing guys aside and not renewing their schollies (because they will never make it past special teamer) then I am OK with it, if it benefits all parties...NOW..Let's go steal Oren Burks out from under CML's nose...

Bummer Dew never worked out. He just never seemed to put it together. I'm disappointed I never got to scream "DEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWW!" with 67,000 other Hokies after he jacked someone up.
