Alot of those are hypothetical but to answer #4, yes.

For the second coming of Mike Vick I'd volunteer to hold one end of the banner.

Would probably be more effective to have some big booty hostesses hold the banner, but I get your point. :squeeze:

Good question! Several factors will play into this:

1) Can Marshall put on the 30-40 pounds of muscle-weight to play DT on an every-down basis? I think he weighs about 250-260 now.

2) If Marshall moves to DE, and with the departure of Battle, Prince, Tucker and Hamlette, that leaves the Hopkins brothers, Maddy, and Harley as the only DTs with actual game experience. Will any of the incoming 2012 DTs be ready to play if Marshall moves to DE?

3) If Marshall's unable to gain weight to play DT, will he become the 5th DE to go along with Gayle, Collins, McCray, and Wilson? Will he play a DE/DT role? Will any of the 2012 DEs be ready to play in the Fall?

4) Will DE Perez-Means be moved to TE?

5) Will Wilson be moved from DE to Whip and does he have the cover skills in space?

Spring ball should give us a better idea about where Marshall will play, but I really don't think things will finalize until the first game...maybe.

Minor thing, but in #2, Harley has yet to see the field. Heard good things about him thusfar though.

You're correct...my bad. If I remember correctly now, he came in overweight and Wiles thought he needed a year to redistribute his weight and get stronger.

So you're saying Perez-Means is definitely moving to TE this off-season? If so, I personally think that's a very good move for him and the team.

 

[VT_Football_Fan]

Last I heard he was, yes

 

[TagAndBrag]

I retweeted that. Let's see if I get trolled by any Tennessee fans, ha ha. That is a bit over the top....

Over the... Rocky Top?

thanks for the info man. i had been wondering about marshall myself. he looked pretty good this year in part-time duty, but he definitely needs to add some weight if he is to stay there.

Should have a good idea of where Mornhenwig is going by tomorrow. Either UF commit by tomorrow, or most likely a VT commit on or before signing day. ESPN has confirmed the "due date offer" for Skylar......no mentions of VT tho of course. http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/ncfrecruiting/east/post?id=1910&action=login&appRedirect=http%3a%2f%2finsider.espn.go.com%2fblog%2fncfrecruiting%2feast%2fpost%3fid%3d1910

Does not appear he has verbaled to FLA, if he has it is very quiet

According to twitter, the Hokies landed a walk-on commit from South County defensive lineman, Jeremy Haynes.

Here are some of his highlights:

Jeremy Haynes - Highlight Videos, Schedule & Roster - Hudl

This was reported on twitter by @NavDizzle.

Haynes is a teammate of current commit Devin Vandyke.

Hopefully Scout.com is correct in their assumption.

Honest question because I really don't know the answer...is a link to the source article not good enough for citing purposes or do we also have to note the author as you suggested?
