he'd at least have been well within the mix at VT instead of being destined for G5 or FCS like he's about to be. same with all those failed VA 5* RBs at PSU. could have stayed home and been a day one starter and who knows what might have been but these kids grow up being the best so getting ego checked is not remotely in their thought process when picking a school.
Hasn’t this only been 1 failed 5* RB from Virginia so far? Devyn Ford hasn’t been good and may end up transferring but he’s still on the team
I'm including him bc let's be honest, he's not going to do anything there but Totally forgot about this nutsack, too. His signing day escapades in a Lambo look hilarious now. VA kids get ego checked so hard like 95% of the time they go OOS. The glass ceiling in VA is so damn low and these kids hit their heads on it almost immediately while they're still in HS and don't realize it. Then they get sold fairy tales and that's the end of them.
i got very annoyed when Thomas Jones tweeted something like “there are 10 backs in high school in VA better than any on our roster.”, now we definitely don’t have any good backs, but it’s been a decade since VA has produced a legitimately good rb. like probably David Wilson.
I haven't given it much thought but I think you're right, this state has produced nothing but trash backs for a solid decade. pretty sad given a formerly proud history at the spot. will be interested to see if Henderson will work at OSU, that's another one of those things where if he falls behind or gets hurt for a second he's done there and there will be four other backs ahead of him before he can blink.
Wait so #Florida State Seminoles take ND's 7th OL in a transfer in OG Gibbons, leaving #Notre Dame Fighting Irish with an open spot for an OL transfer A 2nd team AA graduate transfer at OG then pops on the scene in Cain Madden from Marshall, and now he is visiting both schools as finalists Man if ND traded Gibbons to FSU to gain Madden from Marshall and in the process block FSU from getting Madden would be one hell of the long play.
these things are true, although the ugly girl thing is overrated- the girls in South Bend aren't that awful. But its not even close to FSU
Gonna be an all time melt on 247 if we don't pull Madden after all of them dropped balls. Buy or Sonnone that!
I’d prolly go to FSU- guaranteed to start, he’s getting drafted no matter what, way more fun for a semester in Tally however if ND catches 1 or 2 breaks and they might be again a 12-0 type team that back doors into another playoff massacre- so there’s that draw
Bird in the hand, man. Gibbons is gonna play and madden wasn't even a twinkle in norvell's eye when he came available. I'd take that scenario.
When you are at Marshall being able to just sneak in, take like three classes and get an ND degree, and head off to the draft is not a bad option.
Don’t be so cocky about something that’s happened two of the last three years. I swear that dude is touched.
Have you seen our schedule? It’s total trash this year. I certainly don’t think we go 12-0 this year, but I also don’t disagree with the fact that it would probably only require a few breaks going our way. It’s probably the worst schedule we’ve had in a decade.
Our rivals site is reporting Arik Gilbert will be enrolling this week at UGA. Anyone else got any 5* problem kids they want to unload?
As in the elite of the problem players? My man, our team scores on those have been setting records for years
Did he do some course work over the spring? Last I saw of him, his grades were so bad he couldn't get into UF and had to go back to LSU
He was never going to Florida. He went home and made up with his mom. Terrance Edwards has taken him under his wing. That’s what we’ve been told. I have no idea if true.
There’s a first time for everything I suppose. It could be total bullshit, probably is, so I’m sure he’s driving to Baton Rouge rn
