Virginia Tech 2012 Recruiting Target List

Hmmm Clemson dismissed a WR today. Making room?

I believe the general rule of law in Florida has to do with recording a phone conversation without making it clear to the other person that you, or someone else, is doing so. At some point Coach Wiles should have been told that what he believed was a private one on one conversation with Blue was actually being recorded and blasted out on Twitter. The reporter's behavior was unethical at best, and possibly criminal.

I have a few basic questions:

1. Why was a reporter listening to what should have been a private conversation? Has the reporter done this before and with whom?

2. The reporter assumed Blue was talking to Coach Beamer...is that what he was told by Blue? What made the reporter believe Coach Beamer was on the other end of the line?

3. Did Blue tell Coach Wiles at any time that a reporter was listening/recording/tweeting the phone conversation between he and Blue?

4. Was this a deliberate set-up to attempt to embarrass Coach Beamer, and if so, why?

I have more questions, but those are just the basics.

These are all very good questions, and if intentionally done, this was sinister and underhanded, and Golden is no better than anyone else down there at Miami.

This idiot "reporter" needs to come out and explain himself and make a public apology. he erased the tweets, like an idiot, and then erased the apology to Beamer as well.

If it is a crime, can he be hit with tampering with evidence?

For anyone wondering about Mike Tyson, he is going to Hargrave next year and is expected to sign with the Hoos afterwards. We all know how that can change though.

What he obviously didn't know until I reminded him on Twitter yesterday, is that all tweets are saved by Twitter for a period of 90 days. Additionally, I've already seen several instances where people saved the conversation verbatim.

Want to know what Porter said today? Read this article from his newspaper:

Regarding Ja Wand Blue and Virginia Tech’s coaching staff

I will tell you right now that he stopped tweeting the conversation when he was called out on Twitter, not as he describes in the article: "Given the highly compelling nature of the conversation, I began to tweet the quotes, but soon realized that I was doing so without rock-solid attribution. I hung up and called my editors to inform them. I removed the original tweets about Blue’s conversation for fairness purposes, i.e., it would have been fair to give Virginia Tech a chance to respond."

I read the article. The guy is a total idiot with no ethical bones. Hopefully people will stay on him.

Wow, read the comments to that article. It looks like they managed to gather the world's largest collection of idiots in one place.

I apologize if this has already been posted, but apparently Golden is now calling our recruiting tactics into question. I mean, really? You work for the dirtiest program in the history of college football, steal two recruits from us you couldn't evaluate yourself, then call us out???

Speaking at his press conference, Miami coach Al Golden didn't mince words about the negative recruiting tactics employed by the Hokies

"At times, it entered the world of vicious," he said. "They saw a soft spot and went after it. A lot of times you give them enough rope to hang themselves."

Reading the comments are hilarious. ThUg fans making fun of VT and saying that it was no big deal he was posting the convo.

 

[NickVT10]

I cannot wait to kick their ass again this year

Was the "soft-spot" a detailed and shocking expose report on the numerous and terrible recruiting violations that have gone on at Miami for the better part a decade? And maybe suggesting that serious sanctions might be coming?




Shame on us if so. We should never be using common sense or something like reality in our recruiting. It should all be about sugarplums and gumdrops in a fanciful world we've made-believe is real.






In other words, be like UNC in 2010.

I think the soft spot was talking about their record over the past few years....

New "U" spokesman

"Nothing to see here in South Beach. No hookers, blow, or abortions here! We at the U...niversity of Miami only take the most upstanding citizens. All athletes carry a 4.0 and perfect SAT"

 

[vtpoop]

I mean seriously, what Wiles said to the kid wasn't bad and certainly no different than any other coach would have said. He just happened to have his conversation illegally taped. I mean what did Golden expect him to say, “Good luck Jawand. We hope you kick our a$$ the next four years and that your world is filled with rainbows and lollipops.”

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

I like the fact that we can recycle all of the 2011 UNC gifs and stuff for Miami this year, ha ha!!!

 

[NickVT10]

Golden is just sore because he has been practicing getting his ass pounded by larger and larger objects waiting for the NCAA sanctions to come.

Me thinks he doesn't need that much practice.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Did you guys watch the video that I posted a couple pages back. the guy is a tool.

And yes, H200, your comment at the Miami game this year led to the picture.

 

[VT_Football_Fan]

Yea I watched it "BROTHER"! <haha MattB
