So...


Over/Under Wilson's Combine 40 time: 4.32 seconds

I'm going to say over at 4.35 just because guys never seem to run what they "should" except a few surprises. Wouldn't be shocked for an under tho.

Ball from Wisconsin didn't declare because he was told he would be a a third rounder, I wonder what they told Wilson. I always thought Ball was more prepared for the NFL than Wilson too.

hold that thought...

andy bitter's twitter...

Beamer's site says VT expects to have an 11-man senior class next year. David Wilson not included in that group

WDBJ-7's Travis Wells just reported he has been told that David Wilson will announce he's going pro at his 11 AM press conference Friday.

NEWS7 learns that David Wilson is turning pro - wdbj7.com

he's just setting up through fake leaks so we will all be extra surprised and excited when he decides to stay

please please please

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

I will be shocked if he stays, but pleasantly so!!!!

That being said, if he stays, I will be holding my breath every time he gets bent the wrong way next year.

And it is official, Wilson will forego his final season of eligibility to head to the NFL.

Good Luck David!

I will still root for him, but now it will be on my fantasy team. Let's hope he can prove me wrong and get some PT as a rookie

I'd like to ask everyone what they've heard about our next feature RB, Holmes. I heard on another board that he was rated as one of the most improved over the season by current players, including David Wilson. It seems to me that he is more of a bruiser than what we've had recently, perhaps most similar to Darren Evans?

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

He reminds me a lot Lee Suggs. he is not as quick as some, but very deliberate and powerful.

kind of a glimpse of what we may have next season

defensive rotation guys: norman, jarrett, dew, tyler, marshall, t wilson, chase williams, tweedy, hopper, cole, maddy, farrow, harley, mccray, manning (i think he plays as a true frosh)

the defense has the potential to be a top 5 defense if bonner or another corner can step up.

offensive rotation guys: coleman, harris, arkema, farris, gibson, painter, via, martin, redman, smiling, lockhart, knowles

offense will be high powered in the passing game, weaker in the running game in my opinion. i think this is the year we go more towards being a pass-first offense rather than run-first (within reason of course)
