Rivals and 247 were very far apart on Jordan Yates which is unusual but does happen. Rivals had him at 5.8 (low 4*) and 247 had him at an 85 (composite 0.8687) which is a mid 3* on 247. In comparison Gleason is a 5.6 (mid 3*) on rivals and 85 (mid 3*) on 247 for a 0.8622 composite; Sims is a...
I don’t think we will see the rotation of QBs that we saw at the start of the season this year where it varied by series at times. I do expect it to be similar to the second half of the season where if our starter struggles you could see a half time replacement or the starter will become the...
The best two QBs we basically had in spring practice last year were Lucas Johnson and Tobias Oliver since Graham had to regain academic eligibility. I think Tobias ended up injured as well. At the end of the season the two who weren’t at spring practice (Graham/Yates) ended up 1/2 on the depth...
I’m just excited to have 4 QBs competing. Neither one of our top 2 returning QBs were even at spring practice last year, and now we will have 4. I wouldn’t under estimate Gleason just because he was one less star than Sims. He seemed to be running for his life most of his senior year. We are...
Avg wins are a bit deceiving with the extra game (plus championship games) now than when O’Leary coached. Our regular season win percentages for our last 3 coaches are:
George O’Leary: .612
Chan Gailey: .579
Paul Johnson: .580
If the current coaching staff can keep recruiting this way there is...
I think we can be a perennial top 25 team with an occasional top 10. We had a stretch under O’Leary where we were ranked AP top 25 for 5 years in a row. There is no reason we can’t get back to that point with the local high school football talent and good recruiting.
I never know how accurate the listings are but the weight on the Oline impressed me at the start of the season. Ultimately the Oline was going to experience some growing pains in the new offensive schemes and due to seeing new defensive schemes. The injuries also really set them back at the...
Most everyone will agree coaching and player development is every bit as important as recruiting, but you need both to succeed consistently. Tech’s recruiting classes aren’t balanced and we don’t have experience at important positions. Look at UVAs record the last five years with those...
This is my first year back on the boards in several years after losing interest in following recruiting over the last few years. I attended school during the Hamilton and Godsey years, and one positive is several of my classmates have become more engaged this season in the teams future.
I am...
