Virginia Tech 2013 Recruiting Target List

[ImAHokie]

Parker likely can't make it in at VT, either. Going to take either a miracle this year or he'll need to prep unless he wants to play at a partial qualifier school like Marshall or ECU.

And no need to freak out over Teller, at least not until we hear otherwise.

Aren't pursuing him MY ASS. Then what is offering a kid, inviting them to jr. day, spending a ton of that time with just him, and asking him to come back the next weekend?

 

[Boss Sarge]

Yeah we are definitely recruiting him. VTFF, What is up with this kid? It cant really be the grades as everyone claims? Are they that bad? What else would restrict a kid from qualifying?

 

[VT_Football_Fan]

They are really bad. I don't know what UVA's deal is. Why go through all of that to then say "Yeaaa hold on a minute.." The general thought was at worst he would prep. I'd love to hear London's reasoning behind this.

The grades/possibly having to prep deal is the reason that I think that UVa is not pushing for him to commit. Maybe they want to wait until February when the recruiting numbers are more definite, then they will know for sure if they can afford to hold a scholarship for him or not.

Who said UVa wasn't recruiting him?

 

[VT_Football_Fan]

Yep, he wants to come here, but we are definitely not pursuing him.

Who said UVa wasn't recruiting him?

You did.

 

[jeffro151]

You did.

Pursuing and recruiting is 2 totally different things. Yes, Parker does have an offer, but UVa is not pushing for a commit, and most likely would not accept Parker if he did indeed try to commit.


Also, EvanWatkins said basically the same thing I did, that Parker wants to commit, but UVa basically would not accept his commitment.

LOL

 

[jeffro151]

Prove me wrong.

 

[VT_Football_Fan]

You said UVa was recruiting Parker but not pursuing him? How does that even make sense?

How is offering him a scholarship, inviting him to Junior Day, inviting him back for the next weekend, and keeping constant contact with him not pursuing him?

Are you honestly going to sit there and say that you have never heard of this in recruiting? It's the same as when you have offers out to 2 QB's, but you can only take 1, so if your top target commits somewhere else, your top target is off the board and you now pursue for a commit from the 2nd choice.

Again, this is the same thing EvanWatkins said. Parker wants to commit to UVa, but UVa is not interested in bringing him on at the moment.

Ouch.

 

[Hokie Swagger]

my questions is why does parker have all these offers with such terrible grades, when deloatch was in the same situation with hardly any offers at this point in his recruitment last year?

Different skill sets

That depends on what your definition of is is.
