Personal opinion as best ever, Eddie Lee Ivory. The highest drafted back from Tech during my 64 years. The last time we had to great backs, our current rb coach with Dwyer as a freshman

I hope you are right.

I look at Brooks as a leadership guy that is highly respected and has earned his start based on hard work and respect. A year ago we were hearing about Martin, Henderson and Cottrell. I love everything about Brooks but bring this up to suggest he has earned a start and love from his coaches but...

Awesome.

My understanding is that grey shirting has the athlete report in the winter. They both are listed on our roster now. That was why I was curious.

Just curious about Albany Casey and how things transpired for him to be on our current roster. He is a good looking prospect if fully recovered.

I know that E. Smith was considered slow in HS with a reported 4.7-4.8 40 yard dash but clocked a 4.52 at the NFL combine. All people can say about Gibbs is how explosive he is. This came from the coaches at the Army All Star Game and now on our campus. You can think he is a 4.5 but he was the...

I don’t really care. What I like is the quality of the QB room. Cream rises and I think we have cream.

Speaking of choosing not to go pro and how the NFL was different, my Father-in-Law was drafted in 1955 by the Bears and was offered $4,600.00 contract as a offensive guard. Average pay for NFL was just $6k . He told me that his body stayed healthy, he slept every night in his own bed and played...

I agree. The 52 team was very talented as well. Often people forget that in 52 we are still several years prior to the advent of the two platoon system. You would play a game with less than 20 players seeing the field. You could play with anyone with 10 future nfl players on your roster.

1977 was top heavy with talent more than any team I recall . Drew Hill, All Pro Kent Hill, Al Richardson with several years with the Falcons, the best LB I’ve seen in my 63 years ((Lucius Sanford) an unbelievable athlete Mackle Harris at outside LB (9.6 100 yd state champion) Reggie Wilkes with...

That was a stupid decision by Maryland, Fridge only wanted 1 more year. Their decision included terminating (their head coach in waiting) James Franklin. James then took Vanderbilt to new heights and Penn State out of the JoPa mess.

Amazing reach on your part.

That is great news. Glad you brought up the UVA game. It absolutely was a great moment. I remember thinking, oh no he is perfect until - - - -and he still is!

Wells is an interesting case. Perfect 2 Seasons ago and then last year what the $&@$! King was a last minute add from desperation after losing the kid to Al. Hanson may have seen his chances greatly reduced by the transfer portal and the return of our center for a 5th year. I wish them all the...

Almost stopped me in my tracks with this one. James is a very good runner and dropped several long balls on a dime. I refuse to rule this guy out because I saw very similar performances from Little Joe and the Goose early on. I’ll add that I also saw a lot of catchable balls in the short game...

My personal experience was with two other power 5 teams , it was made clear that the scholarship was given for one year. Often, when the dust settles, (last minute transfers and no chance to fill through the portal ) a coach will recognize a contributing walk-on with the last second available...

It will absolutely have zero to do with it. You are talking about a walk-on that was given a one year scholarship based on left over money/scholarships. It is not the same at all. I am not privileged to have been in the room when Wells received his scholly but have been in that room with others...

I agree with every thing you are saying except the % of athletes that would qualify with out sports. That number is probably under 20%.
