00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,200
The fields for the dirt.
We don't even grow.
2
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,200
I spent my morning just cleaning
shit off your skin.

00:00:30,700 --> 00:00:32,700
This house is falling down.
The beach.

00:01:01,900 --> 00:01:05,500
How you been?
Oh good man, good weekend,

00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:06,700
weekend treated me.
Nice.
11
00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:11,000
Got to get to make some barbecue
and enjoy this and some over to
12
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,900
my pops in the new place, so it
was a good time.
13
00:01:13,900 --> 00:01:18,600
We'll buy you all, we wrapped up
basketball, season played
14
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,400
Baseball with the kids in the
neighborhood, getting ready for
15
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,600
that and about a month here.
So nice, relaxing weekend plus,
16
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,800
you know, the weather Sunday was
gorgeous, Saturday.
17
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,800
It's freezing man.
And, you know, watch some hoops
18
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:37,400
a little bit of golf but overall
great weekend in.
19
00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:41,600
And speaking of this weekend, we
have to combine going on.
20
00:01:41,900 --> 00:01:44,200
Nope.
Yeah, Brian and you just looked
21
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:49,100
at what the next 60 days, hold
as sports fans, May you got to
22
00:01:49,107 --> 00:01:51,800
give me the rundown because
right now we're still in that
23
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,700
Lake.
It's not football season even
24
00:01:53,700 --> 00:01:55,800
though we got the XFL right now.
So you got to give me the
25
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,400
rundown to see.
We got to look forward to.
26
00:01:57,700 --> 00:01:59,500
All right?
So we just have to combine,
27
00:01:59,500 --> 00:02:00,500
right?
Yep.
28
00:02:00,700 --> 00:02:02,800
Which were going to talk with
Dalton key in a few minutes on
29
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,400
that.
All right, start in a couple
30
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,199
weeks you get the conference
tournaments basketball
31
00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:10,199
tournament.
There we go.
32
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:15,500
All over the place, then the
madness starts early, release
33
00:02:15,500 --> 00:02:20,400
exactly, you know, No, I'm the
golf nerd.
34
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,600
The players in the Masters are
on the Forefront.
35
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:30,600
We got opening day in baseball.
One of the best days of the year
36
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,700
right there.
Great day of the year, we got
37
00:02:32,700 --> 00:02:37,800
Spring football happening poke,
start on the 21st spring games
38
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,300
are happening.
Spring game is going to be
39
00:02:40,300 --> 00:02:44,300
tape-delayed and on television
this year, which is awesome
40
00:02:44,300 --> 00:02:46,200
because I know you're going to
be out of town.
41
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,900
I don't know if I'm gonna stay
up to 10:30 and watch it but
42
00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:51,300
just knowing we can see the team
play.
43
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:56,000
It's going to be awesome.
Definitely will.
44
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,900
Maybe get some eyes on how the
new ooh, alignments and stuff on
45
00:02:59,900 --> 00:03:01,200
defense.
Whos playing.
46
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,300
Whos not.
And then we're going to cap it
47
00:03:03,300 --> 00:03:06,100
off in the legs in the 60 days
with the NFL draft.
48
00:03:06,100 --> 00:03:08,100
So kind of football, season
begins again.
49
00:03:09,700 --> 00:03:13,400
So the next 60 days, anybody
telling you oh there's really
50
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,100
nothing on.
There's nothing sports to do
51
00:03:15,100 --> 00:03:19,600
know.
They're so much so you know you
52
00:03:19,608 --> 00:03:23,200
know head out to your favorite
bars, watch the tournaments.
53
00:03:24,500 --> 00:03:27,600
You know, if you get a chance
we're probably not going to be
54
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:33,400
able to Go down to Blacksburg
spring game is one of the best
55
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:39,100
experiences that you can go to.
This circle is so cool.
56
00:03:39,100 --> 00:03:43,300
Just getting to see the players
up close, getting to talk to
57
00:03:43,300 --> 00:03:48,500
them for a little bit after the
game, get to see all the alumni
58
00:03:48,500 --> 00:03:52,300
and the old faces come back,
come back into town and cut it
59
00:03:52,300 --> 00:03:54,800
up a little bit.
It's nothing but a good sound.
60
00:03:55,300 --> 00:03:58,300
It is and it's and it's worth it
if you're a Virginia Tech fans.
61
00:03:58,300 --> 00:04:03,400
An and you have that day
available you know take the if
62
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,200
it's just you and a buddy do
that.
63
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,800
If you can take the family and
kids take it hit, downtown up,
64
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,100
do a little tail gate and go
into the stadium.
65
00:04:11,100 --> 00:04:14,700
It's free and did get on the
field afterwards.
66
00:04:14,700 --> 00:04:18,600
And like Brian said, the the
program really pushes the
67
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,600
players to kind of stay around
when we went, you know what?
68
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:28,400
Five years ago.
Now then 2015, I mean we met I
69
00:04:28,500 --> 00:04:33,000
am Adonis all these guys who
were stars on the team and the
70
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,900
Edmonds Brothers, the Edmonds
Brothers.
71
00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:37,300
All three of them should post
that picture.
72
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,800
Biggest trick tree came back for
the game.
73
00:04:40,100 --> 00:04:43,200
Exactly, it's just an experience
worth going to and these other
74
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,600
sporting events, watch them,
enjoy them.
75
00:04:46,900 --> 00:04:49,700
It's a lot of fun.
But the first thing that really
76
00:04:49,700 --> 00:04:56,900
kicked this off was the combine
and man our boy Dalton Rambo, he
77
00:04:56,900 --> 00:05:02,300
tore it up.
Up towards solutely, did had a
78
00:05:02,300 --> 00:05:06,900
great showing it to me, his take
doesn't lie, he is a football
79
00:05:06,900 --> 00:05:10,500
player.
I think what he did for himself
80
00:05:10,500 --> 00:05:16,300
is probably solidified that he's
going to get drafted, he
81
00:05:16,300 --> 00:05:18,200
definitely solidified.
He's going to get drafted.
82
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:23,400
Then he made a push to say I
might be able to get taken at
83
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,600
the back end of day two, if the
right fit is there and I think
84
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,600
that's something that Didn't
really think was even going to
85
00:05:29,608 --> 00:05:35,500
be a possibility going into it,
just because of his skill set,
86
00:05:35,500 --> 00:05:38,400
being a little more Niche.
But I think putting all those
87
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,400
measurables together.
I think, maybe cause some eyes,
88
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,700
or some of those teams that may
say, Hey, you know, we might
89
00:05:44,700 --> 00:05:47,300
want to take a chance on this
guy even if even in the third
90
00:05:47,300 --> 00:05:51,000
round or something like that, if
the, you know, the timing is
91
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,300
right.
Yeah.
92
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,000
Well let me do the thumb for
those who, if you haven't seen
93
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,900
it on Twitter or went to the on
FL comments, I will do a quick
94
00:05:57,900 --> 00:06:03,000
rundown Down what he did 21 reps
and the bench, which I think was
95
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:10,300
fourth, 47 140, which was third.
Correct me if I'm wrong on his
96
00:06:10,300 --> 00:06:13,200
worst event was the vertical
leap at 34 inches.
97
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:18,900
I think he was like 9th or 10th
three comb 7.07.
98
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,900
Again, using that top five
range.
99
00:06:21,900 --> 00:06:26,200
Now, the two events he really
excelled at the broad.
100
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,600
Jump 100, 25 inches.
Which was best among the tight
101
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:31,600
ends.
Yep.
102
00:06:31,700 --> 00:06:38,100
In the one for me, where it
showed Elite in all forms
103
00:06:38,100 --> 00:06:42,100
because he is on the on one on
the first two pages, top of the
104
00:06:42,100 --> 00:06:46,800
20-yard shuttle at four point
one nine seconds from real
105
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,800
quick, kind of explain for a
tight end having that Elite
106
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,800
Shuttle time.
What it what it says, two
107
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:57,700
coaches like that because he was
he's in there with some white
108
00:06:57,700 --> 00:06:59,800
out since Stuff where it's kind
of like, whoa.
109
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,100
We talked about, you know, being
able to change direction that's
110
00:07:04,100 --> 00:07:07,500
going to come in handy on if
there's some sort of scramble
111
00:07:07,500 --> 00:07:10,600
drill when the quarterbacks and
trouble being able to change
112
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,100
directions, real quick and get
to the spot get open.
113
00:07:13,700 --> 00:07:16,200
It's going to be handy on those
angle routes that you had talked
114
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:21,000
about in episode 2, things that
he has really shown chilling out
115
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,600
on film already.
That, you know, he can show one
116
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,600
thing and then all of a sudden
you know he's cutting across the
117
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:31,000
middle of the field into that
into that void and once he gets
118
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,700
the His hands.
He's so good at making making
119
00:07:33,700 --> 00:07:36,900
people miss and breaking tackles
for a guy, his size.
120
00:07:37,500 --> 00:07:40,700
So, you know, I think that we're
definitely looking at.
121
00:07:41,300 --> 00:07:43,500
Like I said, the stocks
definitely Rising after that
122
00:07:43,500 --> 00:07:47,100
combine performance and, you
know, talking about the shuttle
123
00:07:47,100 --> 00:07:50,100
but also talking about the broad
Jim, I mean there's a lot of
124
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,400
what we think about blocking
from a tight end position.
125
00:07:56,100 --> 00:07:58,100
You know the explosiveness for
the broad jump.
126
00:07:58,100 --> 00:08:01,700
A lot of that is tied to the
explosiveness of At the point of
127
00:08:01,700 --> 00:08:04,600
contact when you block.
So, you know, those things
128
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,100
definitely definitely showed
that he's got that exposed as an
129
00:08:08,100 --> 00:08:11,300
ability to like we talked about
finished blocks and be able to
130
00:08:11,900 --> 00:08:14,900
make really good contact at the
point of attack.
131
00:08:16,500 --> 00:08:19,400
Absolutely, I'm really
interested to see, you know,
132
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,400
about, I guess.
We'll be about a month here at
133
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:26,800
his pro day down at Virginia
Tech and then kind of see where
134
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,100
he gets interviewed.
You know, the combine everybody
135
00:08:31,100 --> 00:08:34,200
can interview you, but it's,
those sort of second ones where,
136
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,299
teens might fly you out because
it's like, we need to know more.
137
00:08:37,900 --> 00:08:43,600
Going to be interested to see
how that, how that happens for
138
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,500
him over the next two months
here.
139
00:08:46,700 --> 00:08:48,900
Ben Curtis wants a trip to Santa
Clara I don't know.
140
00:08:49,100 --> 00:08:55,100
Yes well I mean you know I
looked at Cal juice check come a
141
00:08:55,108 --> 00:09:02,100
49ers fan Hokie nation and is
similar numbers to juice.
142
00:09:02,100 --> 00:09:04,700
Check now juice check was a full
back in college.
143
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:09,800
We're dying was Dalton was more
of a you know tight in HVAC but
144
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,000
some of the stuff he does I can
see it translating to us but we
145
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,800
don't know.
Brian, did you catch the Brock
146
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,500
Hart hit series.
You know, I did, you know I did.
147
00:09:19,700 --> 00:09:21,500
What do you think, man?
Love to production.
148
00:09:21,500 --> 00:09:24,700
Another again, let's let's get
the personalities out there.
149
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,800
So my biggest takeaway and what
I'd loved from watching that and
150
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,500
I was tweeting about it.
I know some people are called on
151
00:09:32,500 --> 00:09:38,500
to that but just things kind of
going south in terms of his
152
00:09:38,500 --> 00:09:41,400
eligibility and how he really
pivoted to being that off the
153
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,600
field leader last year for that
team.
154
00:09:44,100 --> 00:09:47,300
And that's what really stuck
with me doing all that.
155
00:09:47,300 --> 00:09:50,500
Because that's, that's hard.
When when you're used to playing
156
00:09:50,500 --> 00:09:53,800
and you're used to being the guy
that is out there in the alpha
157
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,500
role and showing it on the field
and showing it on game day and
158
00:09:57,500 --> 00:10:00,300
all of a sudden you have to take
a new role, the fact that he was
159
00:10:00,300 --> 00:10:03,300
able to blossom into that so
fast and get and gain all the
160
00:10:03,300 --> 00:10:08,400
respect from guys in the Locker
room right out the gate that
161
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,300
says something about his
character and says something
162
00:10:10,300 --> 00:10:12,900
about his ability to lead and
the fact that we're going to
163
00:10:12,908 --> 00:10:16,200
start getting some of that on
the field this year, just
164
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:21,400
thinking it's got me height,
agree on something else on that.
165
00:10:21,700 --> 00:10:25,800
I want to say about brought me
and Brian, luckily had an
166
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,600
interaction with him at the pit
game after the game was over.
167
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,400
We sort of walk down behind the
Virginia Tech bench, just kind
168
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,500
of set their dapping up guys, me
and him chitchat looking around.
169
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,500
Round and Brock is if he can
remember Brian, he was probably,
170
00:10:39,700 --> 00:10:42,800
I don't know 10 or 12 feet on
the field on the field.
171
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,400
So they've even gave me some
further and actually probably
172
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,600
passed us in terms of yeah or
field of view and me and Brian
173
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,900
were called we called out free
broadcasting and he stops and he
174
00:10:53,900 --> 00:10:58,000
like, gives us the thing and he
stops again and he came over, he
175
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,200
took his time to walk all the
way over.
176
00:11:01,500 --> 00:11:05,500
You know, we sort of said hey
you know, good luck.
177
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,700
Next year, can you know, we're
glad you're here.
178
00:11:07,700 --> 00:11:10,800
Adapt us up, gave us a couple
minutes, talks and then walked
179
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,800
in, but when you have something
like that where he could have
180
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,400
just did the fist bump and do
that that made our day him
181
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,500
walking over and talking to us
and kids Special that bloop is
182
00:11:21,500 --> 00:11:25,000
going to be nasty because I
think his mentality you saw some
183
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,200
of the think it was Silas right?
Or you can see in silence like
184
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:34,200
these guys want to go kill
people, to put it lightly and I
185
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:35,400
think him coming into that
group.
186
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,300
The competition's going to get
higher.
187
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,000
And I think the group was very
good last year in very young.
188
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,100
I think we're going to be, I
don't, I'm not going to say
189
00:11:46,100 --> 00:11:49,400
Elite this year, but we're going
to be borderlining on that.
190
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,900
If everybody takes the steps
coach Vice, I mean, he's really
191
00:11:53,900 --> 00:11:55,700
going to have some options
because he's gonna have about
192
00:11:55,700 --> 00:12:01,400
six or seven guys that have seen
significant snaps weather for
193
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:05,900
the Hokies or in Brock's case
for Coastal just coming in And
194
00:12:07,100 --> 00:12:10,500
guys, they can lean on and just
put together the best five out
195
00:12:10,500 --> 00:12:13,200
of that experience group.
And that's going to be something
196
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,400
that, you know, he really didn't
have, he hasn't really had it
197
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,100
hit during his time at in
Blacksburg.
198
00:12:20,100 --> 00:12:23,100
So I'm excited to see what the
finished product is going to
199
00:12:23,100 --> 00:12:25,300
look.
Like, we've got so many young
200
00:12:25,300 --> 00:12:28,500
guys that played significant
snaps last year and then, we've
201
00:12:28,500 --> 00:12:35,000
got a couple of Veteran, guys,
anchoring The Tackle positions.
202
00:12:35,500 --> 00:12:38,900
So I'm really interested to see
how they end up shaking out the
203
00:12:38,900 --> 00:12:42,300
starting five but I mean having
seven like I said, seven guys
204
00:12:42,700 --> 00:12:46,300
that have starting potential
going into the season is pretty
205
00:12:46,300 --> 00:12:47,500
incredible.
Yeah.
206
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,600
And that's going to make the
depth gray and that's going to
207
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,400
make the competition.
Unbelievable, one more thing.
208
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,500
Before we get into the day's
topics, thus California to VC
209
00:12:58,500 --> 00:13:01,400
movement and I'm going to, I'm
going to say my perspective was
210
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,200
like this, I saw it, we giving
offers that's cool, you know.
211
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,000
But then we'll all there some
milk Midnight Madness.
212
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,600
Some guy showed up.
I'm like that's cool.
213
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,200
Probably two or three guys know.
Brian.
214
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,700
You looked a little closer and
you texted me like not all how
215
00:13:16,700 --> 00:13:21,900
many good man, it was.
It was a whole busload, man.
216
00:13:21,900 --> 00:13:26,200
They were just, I was, I was
like, I didn't even think that
217
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,200
was something that we would, we
would see.
218
00:13:28,900 --> 00:13:32,300
Like I said, we heard the quiet
Rumblings and things on Twitter.
219
00:13:32,300 --> 00:13:35,400
Like, okay, California to VT and
all of a sudden, you know, we
220
00:13:35,500 --> 00:13:40,200
Got this whole crew there in
Lane stadium and midnight
221
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,300
medicine.
I'm like oh man, that that's
222
00:13:42,300 --> 00:13:46,100
some that's some special stuff.
And you know, they're getting
223
00:13:46,700 --> 00:13:50,000
likely from that perspective and
experience it that they can't.
224
00:13:50,100 --> 00:13:53,600
You just can't be replicated
anywhere.
225
00:13:54,300 --> 00:13:56,300
I'd say definitely not the
Pac-12.
226
00:13:57,100 --> 00:13:59,500
So you're right out the gate
that's got to be.
227
00:13:59,508 --> 00:14:01,500
That's got to be a big
impression on them.
228
00:14:01,700 --> 00:14:04,600
And we're kind of putting our
best foot forward with that.
229
00:14:05,300 --> 00:14:06,900
It Interesting to see where it
goes.
230
00:14:06,900 --> 00:14:09,100
If we can land any of them, one
of them.
231
00:14:09,100 --> 00:14:12,400
I mean, at this point
stretching, our footprint is not
232
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,600
going to hurt.
I mean, casting a wider net.
233
00:14:15,900 --> 00:14:20,200
You know, we get some more
recognition across the across
234
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,100
the whole country versus just in
our region.
235
00:14:23,100 --> 00:14:25,900
So I don't think it's a problem
there, especially since we're
236
00:14:25,900 --> 00:14:29,700
starting to see some of the
recruiting resources climb a
237
00:14:29,708 --> 00:14:33,300
little bit, which, as we have
said in a couple episodes past
238
00:14:33,300 --> 00:14:35,100
that, that's definitely
something we like to see.
239
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,200
Absolutely.
All right, so guys, what we're
240
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,800
going to be looking at today is
we got see a 2 V T, but we're
241
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,900
going to be looking at Virginia.
We're going to be breaking down
242
00:14:47,300 --> 00:14:49,000
kind of the overall.
What?
243
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,900
Recruiting looks like in
Virginia, this year, where the
244
00:14:53,900 --> 00:14:59,900
Elite Talent is some of the
names, things like that, for the
245
00:14:59,900 --> 00:15:03,000
what we consider the elite of
elite guys, four guys in the
246
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,400
top. 10 Brian did some video
breakdown.
247
00:15:06,500 --> 00:15:12,100
So, you know, this is going to
be thinking about guys that play
248
00:15:12,100 --> 00:15:14,900
in live near you.
We're going to give you some
249
00:15:14,900 --> 00:15:18,900
more info on them so we'll start
that out right now.
250
00:15:19,500 --> 00:15:24,300
Braun the 2021 Virginia High
School class.
251
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,300
There's only one word for its
Elite.
252
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,700
Big time, man, big time.
So you know, as we as I started
253
00:15:31,700 --> 00:15:36,100
kind of looking through some of
the recruits and Where we, you
254
00:15:36,108 --> 00:15:38,700
know, where they are.
I want to kind of give a
255
00:15:38,700 --> 00:15:40,500
breakdown.
Like who are the Hokies
256
00:15:40,500 --> 00:15:43,000
recruiting?
Are we not offering guys?
257
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,300
Because after 2020, you know
everybody, we didn't get anybody
258
00:15:46,300 --> 00:15:50,300
got one guy in state looking
Rudolph and now it's like what's
259
00:15:50,300 --> 00:15:51,900
going on.
You know, why?
260
00:15:51,900 --> 00:15:53,200
We recruit the state of
Virginia?
261
00:15:53,300 --> 00:15:55,700
Well, that's you just won an
appeal and straight or one the
262
00:15:55,700 --> 00:15:59,900
peeling in State this year.
Let me just say looking at some
263
00:15:59,900 --> 00:16:03,200
of the numbers.
It is definitely.
264
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,200
We are trying to get the state
this year.
265
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,700
So I'm looking at just the top
20 Braun.
266
00:16:09,500 --> 00:16:14,800
And okay, we have offered 14 of
the top 20 players in the state.
267
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,900
That sounds more like a Virginia
Tech recruiting push in the
268
00:16:20,900 --> 00:16:22,800
state than what we saw last
year.
269
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,800
Absolutely.
I mean, you know, 70% of the
270
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,700
class, all varieties of
positions.
271
00:16:30,100 --> 00:16:34,400
So, you know, I think last year
again, like, kind of like the
272
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,900
20/20 class in general.
It was just that weird cycle.
273
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,200
And I think we're back to more
of what we do in the state.
274
00:16:42,300 --> 00:16:45,900
Now, looking at these 20, guys,
and again, Just to kind of throw
275
00:16:45,900 --> 00:16:48,100
you the difference between
lasting this year.
276
00:16:48,900 --> 00:16:52,100
Seven of those guys are in the
top 24/7.
277
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,700
I've told you guys before I
think, 247, Sports does a great
278
00:16:56,700 --> 00:16:59,900
job.
I think how they break the guys
279
00:16:59,900 --> 00:17:03,500
down, how they rank them, how
they're consistently moving them
280
00:17:03,500 --> 00:17:07,800
up and down, based on their
skill level, their size, offered
281
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,300
us and so on.
But there are seven this year in
282
00:17:11,300 --> 00:17:16,200
the state and Compared to the
last year.
283
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,900
I think it was.
What to the top two guys wore in
284
00:17:19,900 --> 00:17:21,800
the top 24/7.
Yeah, yeah.
285
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,599
So we were looking at the two
guys that we that we worked on
286
00:17:25,599 --> 00:17:29,600
last year with were the only two
that they're really cracked the
287
00:17:29,900 --> 00:17:34,700
24/7 there.
So yeah, right now you guys kind
288
00:17:34,700 --> 00:17:38,000
of wondering.
Well so we only offered, we've
289
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,300
offered 20, you know, 14 of the
top 20 who didn't, we offer, and
290
00:17:42,500 --> 00:17:45,000
want to give you their names
positions and where they are.
291
00:17:45,100 --> 00:17:47,600
Just just so you maybe get an
idea.
292
00:17:47,700 --> 00:17:49,300
Is it a position where he
committed on?
293
00:17:49,300 --> 00:17:50,900
Or are there bigger dogs out
there?
294
00:17:50,900 --> 00:17:54,400
As we look into this further?
The first guy I'm going to look
295
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:58,300
at is trim Atkins.
He is out of Clintwood, VA
296
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,700
Ridgewood High School 61 195
athlete.
297
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,500
I'm just looking at that body
frame type and that tells me
298
00:18:05,500 --> 00:18:09,300
probably whiteout or defensive
back, doesn't give the full
299
00:18:09,300 --> 00:18:13,300
breakdown.
Next guy, is James Gillespie,
300
00:18:13,300 --> 00:18:19,000
6-foot to 300 pounds.
Of tackle at a Woodbridge, you
301
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,800
know, body type seems they're
not offered yet again.
302
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,300
There are things probably behind
the scenes, we don't know, we
303
00:18:25,300 --> 00:18:29,900
don't know their grades, we
don't know the fit but not
304
00:18:29,900 --> 00:18:33,800
offered yet.
Another one, Trevon green
305
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,000
six-foot-seven 367 found
offensive tackle out of Colonial
306
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,700
Heights like Christian Academy.
I would say just looking at his
307
00:18:41,700 --> 00:18:45,000
size not seeing any tape, he
sounds like more of a motive.
308
00:18:45,100 --> 00:18:49,200
Motor grader type offensive.
Lineman as you know Brian from
309
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,500
looking at a lot of the tape.
We're not looking for the huge
310
00:18:51,500 --> 00:18:54,000
linemen to push the pile.
We're looking more athletic
311
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:59,500
guys.
Next couple guys, need Evans 61
312
00:18:59,500 --> 00:19:04,900
175, again listed as an athlete
out of cocks down.
313
00:19:04,900 --> 00:19:08,300
VB he's already committed to
Tennessee, I don't have his
314
00:19:08,300 --> 00:19:10,500
commitment date.
So my apologies for not having
315
00:19:10,500 --> 00:19:12,500
the research there, but again,
you see that fit?
316
00:19:12,500 --> 00:19:14,500
You think defensive back wide
receiver?
317
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,100
And Jay wolfert 6-1 200-pound
Jewel threat quarterback out of
318
00:19:19,100 --> 00:19:21,400
Richmond.
Benedictine already committed to
319
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,500
UVA.
So, out of the six guys that are
320
00:19:24,500 --> 00:19:30,000
in the top 20, 20 minutes
committed, a couple of them are
321
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,200
athletes at positions.
That as Brian, you can see
322
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,000
what's on the board.
This year, we might have already
323
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,200
thrown a number of offers out.
What do you think?
324
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,300
I think the big thing is the
number of offers we already
325
00:19:41,300 --> 00:19:45,700
thrown out at those positions
and combine that with with fit,
326
00:19:45,700 --> 00:19:47,800
I mean I think that's going to
be the biggest thing as far as
327
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:53,000
those guys that we didn't offer,
particularly some of the
328
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,000
defensive backs.
We're already looking at a
329
00:19:57,008 --> 00:20:02,200
couple guys at the top of that
list at that position, you know,
330
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,000
the further we get down in the
top 20.
331
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,000
I don't think we're going to
necessarily, just keep offering
332
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,500
guys down the list, especially
in the same.
333
00:20:08,700 --> 00:20:13,100
State and then the quarterback
that's at UVA regardless of that
334
00:20:13,100 --> 00:20:14,900
situation.
You know we had a very early
335
00:20:14,900 --> 00:20:18,700
commitment from from D there so
I don't think that's really any
336
00:20:18,700 --> 00:20:21,500
comparison there and I think we
got the better end of that that
337
00:20:21,500 --> 00:20:23,700
exchange.
So I'm not concerned about that
338
00:20:23,700 --> 00:20:26,700
at all.
So yeah, just think I think
339
00:20:26,700 --> 00:20:29,900
we're looking at probably a
combination of fit.
340
00:20:30,100 --> 00:20:33,200
Maybe some personality things
that just don't quite quite
341
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,000
bash.
And obviously guys, we have
342
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,300
maybe already made offers to A
little bit further up the the
343
00:20:40,300 --> 00:20:43,500
totem pole for us, in terms of
what we want to do and you say
344
00:20:43,500 --> 00:20:46,100
what we want to do.
Because just and again I've
345
00:20:46,100 --> 00:20:48,600
looked further than the top 20
in VA.
346
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,500
There are some guys 20 to 30
range.
347
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,400
The biggest one is Jalen's
Stroman.
348
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,900
Greg Stone, his brother.
He's offered you know the other
349
00:20:56,900 --> 00:21:00,700
guys and that 20 to 30 range in
the Virginia that maybe fit what
350
00:21:00,700 --> 00:21:04,100
we want to do and we've offered
them versus the guys in the top
351
00:21:04,100 --> 00:21:06,400
20.
Maybe per our coaches eyes.
352
00:21:06,700 --> 00:21:11,300
These guys get better.
The big December Stroman there.
353
00:21:11,300 --> 00:21:14,700
I'll say was strong and because
we're talking about what we're
354
00:21:14,700 --> 00:21:18,300
trying to do.
You know we have really started
355
00:21:18,300 --> 00:21:22,100
to hang our Hat on at least at
the skill position, versatile
356
00:21:22,100 --> 00:21:26,900
players, whether it's guys that
can play, you know, Whip and
357
00:21:26,900 --> 00:21:29,800
Rover where it's guys are going
to play Corner safety.
358
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,400
I mean, we're looking at trying
to get more versatile on
359
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,500
defense.
When we look at offense, we're
360
00:21:35,500 --> 00:21:38,500
looking at guys that can play,
you know, do stuff in the chat.
361
00:21:38,700 --> 00:21:43,600
We do stuff from the wing, but
also split out wide, and just
362
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,300
run your traditional route tree.
So, I think the versatility is,
363
00:21:47,300 --> 00:21:51,200
what we've really been hanging
our hat on from a skill position
364
00:21:51,500 --> 00:21:53,500
perspective.
And so I think some of that
365
00:21:53,500 --> 00:21:56,000
Strickland down into some of how
we're recruiting some of these
366
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,200
players.
Oh, that's lutely.
367
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,600
And I think you're 100% right on
that.
368
00:22:00,700 --> 00:22:04,400
The other thing I look at Brian,
you know, we as the state,
369
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,100
everybody likes to beat their
chest, right 75.
370
00:22:07,100 --> 00:22:10,500
So, yeah, I know.
Let's hear the echo from where
371
00:22:10,500 --> 00:22:15,600
the best part this year.
You look at the top 20 guys and
372
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,500
it's a it's crazy how this
breaks down, but you're looking
373
00:22:19,500 --> 00:22:27,500
at of the top 27 from the 75 76
or from the 80 46, or from Nova.
374
00:22:27,900 --> 00:22:30,300
And one is from the southwestern
part of the state.
375
00:22:30,300 --> 00:22:33,300
So what this tells me, we all
like to beat our chest about
376
00:22:33,300 --> 00:22:35,000
where we live and the kids that
play there.
377
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,700
But what this tells me is the
state of Nia is a well-balanced,
378
00:22:39,700 --> 00:22:44,000
take their here.
There are talented, guys, in
379
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,100
every Corridor and leave no
stone unturned.
380
00:22:48,100 --> 00:22:51,000
And as we've seen through, you
know, side of the offer list,
381
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,900
they're not.
They have offered guys in every
382
00:22:53,900 --> 00:22:58,300
sector so does that shock you in
anyway?
383
00:22:58,300 --> 00:23:01,100
Brian from coaching in the high
school ranks or this is what
384
00:23:01,100 --> 00:23:03,600
Virginia is.
We are very well balanced state.
385
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,800
It is good more.
So I'd say in probably the last
386
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:14,000
decade or so in the last decade
or so I've really seen Nova and
387
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,000
the 804 really step up their
game relative to what when used
388
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,800
to be going on with 75 70 75.
I don't think there's been any
389
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,100
drop-off and 757.
I just think that those other
390
00:23:24,100 --> 00:23:27,100
regions have started to catch up
a little bit and they're really
391
00:23:27,100 --> 00:23:30,500
given 757 Run for the money and
so I think that's what you're
392
00:23:30,500 --> 00:23:33,500
seeing is that there's a lot
more balance across the state as
393
00:23:33,500 --> 00:23:36,800
you said.
Ed in this in this prospect game
394
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:41,200
now and I think some of that's
just coming coming from the 804
395
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,900
and Nova catching up on some of
the things that the 757 was
396
00:23:44,900 --> 00:23:48,800
doing 10 15 years ago.
And I think they're starting to
397
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,600
do that in the 804 and start to
do that Nova now and it's really
398
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:56,100
paid some dividends.
Yeah 100% And also the guys who
399
00:23:56,100 --> 00:24:00,100
are coming back you think Lauren
Johnson over at Highland
400
00:24:00,100 --> 00:24:03,100
Springs.
If you think about the Louis guy
401
00:24:03,100 --> 00:24:07,600
going down, the They're guys who
played at different levels, that
402
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,600
are coming back to the 804 and
they're going back to the 757
403
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,600
there guys up in Nova great
coaches.
404
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,200
But it, you're right, Brian.
It has kind of trickled and I
405
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,100
think that's good for Virginia
Tech as a program because if
406
00:24:22,100 --> 00:24:25,100
it's all over the place, there's
no one hot bed.
407
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,100
So for us, it's get the guys you
want from those particular
408
00:24:29,100 --> 00:24:32,700
areas.
Now I'm going to say this, I
409
00:24:32,700 --> 00:24:36,000
said at the beginning Elite Eat.
You want to hear how Ali run
410
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,900
about?
Let's go for a top three players
411
00:24:37,900 --> 00:24:40,300
in the state.
So the top three players in the
412
00:24:40,300 --> 00:24:45,300
state as follows.
They are Tristan Lee.
413
00:24:45,300 --> 00:24:51,400
The offensive tackle about a
Nova, he got a huge bump
414
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,800
recently.
He is the number for offensive
415
00:24:54,800 --> 00:25:00,700
tackle in the country.
In the country, not in the state
416
00:25:00,700 --> 00:25:03,400
in the entire country and I know
Brian.
417
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,300
You're going to do some break
down a little while in these
418
00:25:05,300 --> 00:25:08,700
guys but let me just more elite
elite part of this class.
419
00:25:09,100 --> 00:25:13,400
Oh yeah.
Treyvion Henderson down at hope
420
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,600
will help because the number
two, running back, not in the
421
00:25:16,608 --> 00:25:24,200
state in the country in the
country country, and that's
422
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,300
where 24/7 Rob will put
Henderson at one a couple days
423
00:25:27,300 --> 00:25:32,200
ago.
So, In Elite, and clearly the
424
00:25:32,300 --> 00:25:34,600
the top dog number one, in the
state.
425
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,500
Number one quarterback in the
country, number six, overall, in
426
00:25:38,500 --> 00:25:42,100
the country, The Joker, Tony
Grimes.
427
00:25:42,900 --> 00:25:46,900
Number one in the country.
Do all three of these guys are
428
00:25:46,900 --> 00:25:50,500
top 20 in the country in the
country.
429
00:25:51,500 --> 00:25:56,700
Literally what that is saying is
for any of these three guys, if
430
00:25:56,700 --> 00:26:00,200
you get on, it's almost Active
of day one, they're going to
431
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,000
come in and play.
Oh yeah.
432
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:07,300
Any high-capacity.
So Brian is you know there's one
433
00:26:07,300 --> 00:26:10,100
other guy too and I just saw
this a few minutes ago.
434
00:26:10,500 --> 00:26:13,400
You know naquan Brown's not down
the number 10 defensive end in
435
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,600
the country.
That's crazy man, that's crazy.
436
00:26:17,100 --> 00:26:22,100
So we talked about it earlier,
you know, and one of our podcast
437
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:26,100
last year wasn't a great year
for the state this year a lead
438
00:26:26,100 --> 00:26:32,000
of elite and We'll move to here
is Brian, has actually looked
439
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,700
the four guys that just
mentioned.
440
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,200
Brian is actually looked at the
tape and done a little Scouting
441
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,400
Report.
So we're going to move on to
442
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,700
that next.
All right, Brian.
443
00:26:42,700 --> 00:26:46,000
Let's start with maquon brown,
Ocean.
444
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:51,800
Lakes VB6 3205 defensive end.
What you see on this text,
445
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:53,900
right?
So, the biggest thing I'm seeing
446
00:26:53,900 --> 00:26:57,800
about the quad Brown, we're
looking at an elite Edge rusher.
447
00:26:58,100 --> 00:27:02,000
He can Get off the ball and he
can beat you with speed over the
448
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,500
edge.
He's really strong relative to
449
00:27:04,500 --> 00:27:06,400
his weight.
Actually, I saw him take on a
450
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,900
number of double teams on tape.
Never seem to get overpowered on
451
00:27:10,900 --> 00:27:13,400
those, even giving up a bunch of
weight.
452
00:27:13,900 --> 00:27:17,000
The biggest thing that I liked
was when looking at running
453
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,000
game, especially when he was on
the backside is that he was
454
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,400
really good at getting flattened
fast in inrush Pursuit from the
455
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,000
backside.
So he was able to walk down a
456
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,300
bunch of plays going away from
him.
457
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,700
Because of his Pursuit angle
because it'd be getting a really
458
00:27:31,700 --> 00:27:34,200
good read at the snap of the
football.
459
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:39,300
So piggybacking on that he
diagnoses please quickly, he
460
00:27:39,300 --> 00:27:41,500
attacks me and he trusts his
instincts.
461
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:46,900
He did a really good job of
knocking the offensive lineman's
462
00:27:46,900 --> 00:27:52,300
hands down and pass plays plays
fast but disciplined.
463
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,300
You know, he's going to need
some weight.
464
00:27:54,300 --> 00:27:58,400
Probably to be an every down
player at the power 5 level.
465
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,200
But I think out the gate, you
can probably see him as an
466
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:06,500
immediate contributor on special
teams and probably some select
467
00:28:06,500 --> 00:28:09,600
packages on defense.
All right, now when you're
468
00:28:09,608 --> 00:28:13,500
talking about the hands and
stuff so you feel technique-wise
469
00:28:13,500 --> 00:28:16,600
football IQ eyes, he's there?
Yeah.
470
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:21,800
So he's definitely a guy that
knows both knows his technique
471
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:26,100
but also is has really good
instincts, and is able to put
472
00:28:26,100 --> 00:28:28,400
that technique into practice and
plays really.
473
00:28:30,100 --> 00:28:33,200
Let me ask this because the way
it is, the concern 2005.
474
00:28:33,300 --> 00:28:39,000
You know, you don't see any guys
at the D1 level, play it that
475
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:43,300
way July's, a big Camp time so
that's about five months from
476
00:28:43,300 --> 00:28:45,200
now.
Where would you want to see his
477
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:50,000
weight be at come July.
When he comes to maybe the Tech
478
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,600
camp or some of the other you
know can see some more bleep
479
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,400
Prospect going to the Under
Armour camps going to the rivals
480
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:56,700
camps.
What would you like to see his
481
00:28:56,700 --> 00:29:00,000
way that in four to five months?
I definitely like to see you at
482
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,200
least put on 10 pounds in that
time.
483
00:29:02,500 --> 00:29:06,300
If he can get up to the to 15,
maybe even to 20 range, I think
484
00:29:06,300 --> 00:29:09,100
we're looking at, you know,
moving in the right direction,
485
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,000
I'm especially considering he
hasn't been in a college weight
486
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,400
program yet.
And that, you know, once he gets
487
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,700
to Blacksburg will probably will
be good to probably put on
488
00:29:17,700 --> 00:29:20,300
another.
Another 10 pounds at least over
489
00:29:20,300 --> 00:29:24,200
over what is being done now.
But I think if he can get at
490
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,500
least 10 more on him before he
comes in, that would be, that
491
00:29:27,500 --> 00:29:30,600
would go a long way to Helping
his his prospects as far as
492
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,800
getting on the field year, one
understood?
493
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,000
Alright, next guy, I want us to
take a look at our, you took a
494
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,800
look at.
I should say, probably a guy
495
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,500
he'll be competing against
potentially in some of these
496
00:29:42,500 --> 00:29:46,300
camps and for us, Hokies we hope
they're competing.
497
00:29:46,900 --> 00:29:50,400
You know, next fall against one
another in Camp, Tristan, Lee
498
00:29:50,900 --> 00:29:55,800
the offensive tackle, the guy
got the huge bump this week
499
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,400
Robinson.
Secondary School fair fight.
500
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:04,900
Max, 65 to 75 what you see on
him, you know, looking at this
501
00:30:04,900 --> 00:30:08,100
tape there is nothing that I
could really point to and say, I
502
00:30:08,100 --> 00:30:10,700
don't like that.
I mean this guy can in can
503
00:30:10,700 --> 00:30:13,100
really do it.
Also the biggest thing I saw
504
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,000
right out the gate, he has a
nasty Gene.
505
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,300
This guy's not happy until he
puts the guy he's blocking on
506
00:30:19,300 --> 00:30:23,100
his back.
He finishes blocks he has great
507
00:30:23,100 --> 00:30:27,400
dry block technique.
He does a good job of making
508
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,900
contact with power.
And then keep running his feet
509
00:30:29,900 --> 00:30:34,800
until his man's finished.
What I also liked is that on on
510
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,100
down blocks where the play is
going off of him.
511
00:30:37,100 --> 00:30:41,800
He does a great job of spreading
the holes so he's not just
512
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,600
blocking the man in his Gap.
He's moving moving.
513
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,500
The defender out of the Gap,
creating a bigger hole for the
514
00:30:47,500 --> 00:30:51,300
running back to get through.
That's the biggest things.
515
00:30:51,300 --> 00:30:53,300
I like from a technique
perspective, when I was looking
516
00:30:53,300 --> 00:30:57,200
at his, his film on huddle, I
didn't see a ton of past Pro
517
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,400
because the offense that he is
in high school, they run a lot
518
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:04,800
of wing T and Pro Set and
occasionally will go to like a
519
00:31:04,808 --> 00:31:08,600
Spread spread option, run
offense, when they go and
520
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:12,500
shotgun but they don't do a ton
of passing but I did go and look
521
00:31:12,500 --> 00:31:17,200
at some of his rival camps tape
and he's got a really good pass
522
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,800
set.
He has a great great punch.
523
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,300
So he stops the, the momentum of
the defender.
524
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,400
So moves his feet.
Well, so I like I said, really,
525
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,300
there's nothing that I could say
bad about it, especially as a
526
00:31:28,300 --> 00:31:30,200
prospect coming coming out of
high school.
527
00:31:31,300 --> 00:31:33,900
Let me ask this concerning.
You talk about the nasty Gene
528
00:31:33,900 --> 00:31:36,200
and finishing blocks.
When you see, or when you
529
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,200
coached guys, who wouldn't
finish blocks unlike this guy?
530
00:31:40,300 --> 00:31:42,500
What's, what is where does that
concern?
531
00:31:42,500 --> 00:31:45,400
You where it's not a concern for
this guy, but maybe there's some
532
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,600
other guys were recruiting that.
You don't see that what concerns
533
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,800
you when you don't see a guy.
Finishing, I think the big thing
534
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:54,900
is that you don't want a guy
that's just going to get to his
535
00:31:54,900 --> 00:32:00,300
spot and be be happy with with
area blocking a guy because
536
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,900
eventually that guy's going to
keep going and try to make a
537
00:32:02,908 --> 00:32:05,200
play Down feel.
Now, when you're talking about a
538
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,100
guy, that's finishing a Blog
that means, they are taking that
539
00:32:08,100 --> 00:32:11,200
player out of making a potential
tackle, whether it's at the
540
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,100
point of attack or whether it's
10 or 15 yards downfield.
541
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,900
So if he's finishing the block
that means that guy is not able
542
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:24,000
to make a play.
Something else as an offensive
543
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,700
line coach, not seeing you saw
the tape, you said you felt good
544
00:32:27,700 --> 00:32:30,800
about the way he looked and
Rivals Camp but does it still
545
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,200
give you some worry about?
Not seeing a guy with a lot of
546
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:40,000
live action pass Pro where I do
say in these camps you think he
547
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,500
can kind of see what's coming
where compared to in a live game
548
00:32:43,500 --> 00:32:47,000
if they run a stunt or if they
run Slants little different than
549
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,100
knowing?
Well this guy's either going to
550
00:32:48,100 --> 00:32:52,000
try a bull or he's going to try.
You know, bending get underneath
551
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:53,400
me.
Does that concern you?
552
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,200
Or is it more?
He so refined that the running
553
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,200
aspects, he's such a.
You see plays hard?
554
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,000
He come in.
This is what we can work on.
555
00:33:01,900 --> 00:33:04,200
Well, he seems to be a guy with
a high football IQ from the
556
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:05,300
tape.
I'm watching, it doesn't look
557
00:33:05,300 --> 00:33:07,200
like he's ever out of position
or anything like that.
558
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:12,900
So, I'm thinking he can pick up
on past pass protection, call
559
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,200
nature, that that would come
into play if there are those
560
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,400
stunts and inputs, but yeah,
you're right.
561
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:22,600
There is the CERN of this guy
probably hasn't seen a ton, a
562
00:33:22,608 --> 00:33:27,200
ton of of looks where guys are
coming it from multiple angles
563
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,000
at him so that that could be an
area of concern.
564
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,300
But just looking at the tape
when you're looking at these
565
00:33:33,300 --> 00:33:39,100
Rebel camps, generally the
drills do kind of favor the
566
00:33:39,500 --> 00:33:42,800
defensive lineman more, because
there's more room to work than
567
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,300
there would be in a normal game
situation.
568
00:33:46,700 --> 00:33:50,900
And also most of the time, you
know, the Your nose, either the
569
00:33:50,900 --> 00:33:54,200
snap or can anticipate the snap?
It's not like a live game, so
570
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,700
offensive.
Lineman is a lot easier in those
571
00:33:56,700 --> 00:33:58,900
situations and he's still out
there handling.
572
00:33:58,900 --> 00:34:01,800
Some of the guys that are Elite
at that defensive end position,
573
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,700
so that gives me encouragement.
So, like I said, the biggest
574
00:34:04,700 --> 00:34:08,000
thing is going to be, can he
figure out those calls on the
575
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:12,300
Fly and I think you can based on
just looking at his as tapings
576
00:34:12,300 --> 00:34:14,900
and knowing that I think he's a
guy that can pick up things
577
00:34:14,900 --> 00:34:17,199
pretty quick, right?
Thanks for educating us on, you
578
00:34:17,199 --> 00:34:19,699
know about always someone to
take some things that are done.
579
00:34:19,900 --> 00:34:22,699
Those camps.
So when we look at it we get an
580
00:34:22,699 --> 00:34:26,699
idea to say okay doing the right
things or the guys were looking
581
00:34:26,699 --> 00:34:30,000
at are doing the right things.
Alright next number one corner
582
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,100
in the country.
Tony Grimes Princess Day in
583
00:34:32,100 --> 00:34:35,400
Virginia, six foot 180.
Sounds like a perfect corner to
584
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:39,900
me.
What do you see from The Joker?
585
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,699
You know, he's think they might
be the Joker with this kid is no
586
00:34:43,699 --> 00:34:48,199
joke on the feet.
He has a nose for the football
587
00:34:48,300 --> 00:34:49,800
and that's what we like to see
in her.
588
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,500
Nation.
That's what the lunch pail
589
00:34:51,500 --> 00:34:54,400
defense has always been about.
That's what Beamer ball is.
590
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:58,100
Always been about news for the
football, and once he gets the
591
00:34:58,100 --> 00:34:59,700
turnover he loves to take it to
the house.
592
00:34:59,700 --> 00:35:01,600
He's not somebody that's going
to settle with just getting the
593
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:05,600
turnover and you know, first
Contact he's going down, he's
594
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,900
trying to get into the end zone
so that that's what we like to
595
00:35:07,900 --> 00:35:10,100
see.
He's got a great blend of size
596
00:35:10,100 --> 00:35:11,700
and speed.
I know you kind of talked about
597
00:35:11,700 --> 00:35:14,100
the, the size there in the
speed, is there as well.
598
00:35:14,100 --> 00:35:19,000
He's, he's both fast and quick
which is what you like to see
599
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,900
because he can move, Move move
laterally, he's got fluid hip,
600
00:35:22,900 --> 00:35:26,800
so you can change direction.
Well, he lined up all over the
601
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:31,700
secondary on his high school
team Corner, nickel safety.
602
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:36,600
So he's a very versatile
Defender which is what we've
603
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,400
been talking about.
We like to see some versatility
604
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,500
guys, being able to, you know,
attack for multiple positions.
605
00:35:41,500 --> 00:35:43,900
The guys being able to Blitz
from the corner position Blitz,
606
00:35:43,900 --> 00:35:45,300
from the safety, Blitz from the
nickel.
607
00:35:45,300 --> 00:35:47,600
So, this is a guy that can do
that for us.
608
00:35:48,700 --> 00:35:51,400
Good at, said, in the edge in
the Run in a willing tackle when
609
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:55,200
it when the scheme is calling
for him to set the edge, he does
610
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,700
a good job of squeezing the Gap
and enforcing the action back
611
00:35:58,700 --> 00:36:02,500
inside, so he doesn't get get
pinned in to get some.
612
00:36:02,500 --> 00:36:04,500
Let some of those big runs get
to the edge.
613
00:36:05,500 --> 00:36:08,100
He played a lot of offense to so
that means he's probably got
614
00:36:08,100 --> 00:36:11,600
some pretty good hands which
means if the ball is thrown in
615
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,900
his Direction and he's there,
he's going to catch it.
616
00:36:13,900 --> 00:36:17,700
He's got to make that play.
Yeah, everything I saw he was
617
00:36:17,700 --> 00:36:20,500
really great in man.
Coverage.
618
00:36:21,100 --> 00:36:26,000
He gets in the receivers pocket
and stays there when he does,
619
00:36:26,300 --> 00:36:28,000
occasionally get full, he
recovers.
620
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:32,900
Well, think about think about a
Kindle Fuller when when he did
621
00:36:32,900 --> 00:36:36,700
get fooled, what did he do?
So well, he got to the recovery
622
00:36:36,700 --> 00:36:38,800
spot and was still able to make
a play on the ball.
623
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,200
And that's what, that's what
Tony crimes does when he does
624
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,300
get fooled.
But again, from what I'm seeing
625
00:36:43,300 --> 00:36:45,700
on tape, that's of, that's a
very rare occasion as well.
626
00:36:45,700 --> 00:36:47,900
So nothing but good things about
him.
627
00:36:47,900 --> 00:36:51,400
And I think think we're going to
see some Some really, really
628
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,300
incredible, play from him,
whether we end up Landing or we
629
00:36:54,300 --> 00:36:56,000
go somewhere else.
All right, where do you want to
630
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,800
play?
If he commits to Virginia, Tech,
631
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:04,300
he's definitely Corner, maybe
eventually a boundary Corner.
632
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:08,200
Ha ha.
Hey, all right.
633
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,600
But but you see from him day
one, if whether it be germane
634
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:16,000
Waller, Caleb Farley, I don't, I
think one of those guys will be
635
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,100
there next year.
I don't think both, but you see
636
00:37:18,100 --> 00:37:22,200
them coming in competing.
ASAP with the respect of other
637
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:23,700
side of the corner.
He's that good.
638
00:37:23,700 --> 00:37:27,400
He's that technically sound.
He's that much of an elite
639
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,100
player where similar to Kendall
Fuller brand and face on coming
640
00:37:31,100 --> 00:37:36,200
in freshman playing right away
and contributing right away,
641
00:37:36,900 --> 00:37:39,200
he's too good.
Not to have him on the field.
642
00:37:39,500 --> 00:37:43,000
A good majority of the snaps on
defense, it's awesome that
643
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,800
you're probably going to be
doing yourself a disservice, not
644
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,600
getting him out there.
That's great to hear.
645
00:37:49,300 --> 00:37:52,600
All right, let's go with the
last guy on your list, frying,
646
00:37:55,200 --> 00:38:02,700
treyvion Henderson down at
Hopewell in the 80 4511. 195 is
647
00:38:02,700 --> 00:38:06,700
he every every offensive
lineman's dream to block for.
648
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,200
Yeah, he's the guy that you
know, patient at the point of
649
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,900
attack and reads us blocks well,
so he's not just going in there.
650
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,300
Whatever is aiming.
Is you know, sticking it in
651
00:38:19,300 --> 00:38:23,000
there and sometimes you know as
offensive lineman things change
652
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,800
at the snap of the ball and he's
he does a very good job of
653
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,800
changing with that going with
the blocks reading those blocks,
654
00:38:29,300 --> 00:38:32,600
and then just exploding through
the whole once it opens up, he's
655
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,900
got home run speed.
Once he's at the second level,
656
00:38:35,900 --> 00:38:38,400
which is what we like to see.
We like to hit those long play
657
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:42,600
as we like to make some big
plays on offense, he's great at
658
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,100
making people miss.
So he runs through arm tackles
659
00:38:45,100 --> 00:38:48,600
and he's good at turning.
Nothing into something, which I
660
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:52,600
think is sometimes important for
us, especially with, with the
661
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,900
scheme that we have.
There's going to occasionally be
662
00:38:54,900 --> 00:39:00,900
penetration and he does a good
job of making people miss and
663
00:39:01,300 --> 00:39:05,800
finding the lame or the alley.
Even when you know that point of
664
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:11,000
attack gets shut down.
Great, it changed Direction and
665
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:15,900
accelerating.
He was also used in the slot a
666
00:39:15,900 --> 00:39:19,400
lot for his high school.
So you know, I think you're
667
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:24,300
going to see a guy that has the
ability to do is Swing passes
668
00:39:24,300 --> 00:39:28,800
screens, run a wheel route,
things like that, he's a guy
669
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,100
that can definitely is used to
catching the ball.
670
00:39:31,700 --> 00:39:34,700
He also ran some of the, the
Wildcat formations for them and
671
00:39:34,707 --> 00:39:37,300
go live situations, or short,
yardage situations.
672
00:39:38,100 --> 00:39:40,900
So he's comfortable.
With the ball in his hands at
673
00:39:40,900 --> 00:39:46,200
the snap as well.
There wasn't a ton of highlights
674
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:49,200
showing your straight up the gut
run.
675
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,000
So I'm not sure how he is kind
of, on those inside zones, in
676
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:57,000
between the outside shoulder of
the Guard threw into the center.
677
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:01,300
They, mostly were running some
outside Zone and sweeps and
678
00:40:01,300 --> 00:40:05,400
things of that nature.
So, he did run more inside when
679
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,200
he was with the wild cat stuff
on the short yardage.
680
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:11,400
So, in those aspects, you know,
you know, you can run up in
681
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,200
those a gaps and get the job
done.
682
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,600
Done.
But I did see a ton of that when
683
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,400
they were running their more
traditional offensive sets, let
684
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:23,900
me ask this with him.
Working in the slot is something
685
00:40:23,900 --> 00:40:27,400
that we can use to our advantage
and recruiting talking about the
686
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,400
jet sweeps.
I mean, is that something to
687
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,200
say, trivia on you come here
you're going to get the carries
688
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,300
from the backfield, but we're
going to give you an opportunity
689
00:40:35,300 --> 00:40:37,500
to hear your first year to
you're going to be our slot.
690
00:40:37,500 --> 00:40:39,300
You can be one of our slot,
guys, taking some of those
691
00:40:39,300 --> 00:40:43,400
sweets, and you talked about
talked about a couple times, As
692
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:47,600
when those sweeps are blocked
correctly, a guy with home runs
693
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,300
feed.
Good night.
694
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:53,200
Exactly.
And I, you know, I like the
695
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,500
points you make there because I
think that's going to be
696
00:40:56,700 --> 00:41:00,000
something where if we're not in
a situation where we can say,
697
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:04,100
hey, we can guarantee you're
going to be our number one, a
698
00:41:04,100 --> 00:41:06,300
bag, but they're definitely
going to get some carries.
699
00:41:06,300 --> 00:41:08,900
You're going to be, at least a
few, have a featured role of the
700
00:41:08,900 --> 00:41:13,000
offense, even if it's not
something that is that, you
701
00:41:13,008 --> 00:41:16,300
know, one a roll.
So I think that's going to be
702
00:41:16,300 --> 00:41:19,500
key in terms of trying to get
him to stay home.
703
00:41:20,700 --> 00:41:24,800
I see so Brian can can we land
all four of these guys?
704
00:41:26,100 --> 00:41:29,100
I think we can.
I think we have the potential to
705
00:41:29,100 --> 00:41:33,500
do that.
Now we are getting some Some
706
00:41:33,500 --> 00:41:36,400
major run on, especially on
Grimes.
707
00:41:36,900 --> 00:41:40,800
And on in, on Henderson
Clemson's, making a big push, it
708
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,600
Henderson and George's down
there is, is pushing really hard
709
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,000
for Tony.
So those are going to be our two
710
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:51,800
biggest, our two, biggest
opponents for the, the top two
711
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,400
guys there.
I think we've got a really,
712
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,400
really good chance at the Quan
Brown.
713
00:41:56,400 --> 00:42:00,100
Interestingly, I think those are
the guys that I feel really
714
00:42:00,100 --> 00:42:04,500
comfortable with us being able
to close the deal on How
715
00:42:04,500 --> 00:42:10,000
important is it to getting the
first Domino to fall to Landing
716
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,500
all for getting one of these
guys become it.
717
00:42:13,500 --> 00:42:16,400
Let's say between now in the
middle of summer, how big would
718
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:20,400
that be to Landing off of work?
I think that would go a long way
719
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:25,200
because it would build on what
the kind of that momentum that
720
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:29,300
we got with Demetrius committed.
We would start building seeing
721
00:42:29,300 --> 00:42:31,700
some of that tidal wave start
pushing in our direction.
722
00:42:32,100 --> 00:42:35,100
And, you know, people, Start
saying, you know, it's not just
723
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,700
a one-off.
We've got all these big names
724
00:42:37,700 --> 00:42:40,000
are starting to say, hey, I want
to go to Blacksburg and make
725
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:41,500
something special happen this
year.
726
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:45,700
Now, I'll throw this one at you
man.
727
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:50,400
Do you think if we land at least
two of these guys, is that good
728
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,600
enough?
No, it shouldn't be good enough
729
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:55,400
Lanie to shouldn't be good
enough.
730
00:42:55,900 --> 00:42:59,900
All four should be the target.
These are four guys in state
731
00:43:01,500 --> 00:43:04,200
that we've recruited what it
appears to be very well.
732
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:07,700
So far, each position was, let's
just kind of go through each
733
00:43:07,700 --> 00:43:12,700
position, always need Edge
rushers, Right.
734
00:43:13,100 --> 00:43:15,000
Oh absolutely.
You don't have enough of them.
735
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,600
Yeah Tristan Lee, he's an
offensive tackle and some people
736
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:19,700
say that's our strength.
We have a lot of really good
737
00:43:19,700 --> 00:43:22,100
players there.
One of those really good players
738
00:43:22,100 --> 00:43:24,600
is Christian day, assault
Christian Daris all has another
739
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:27,900
season, like he did his first
two, he will not be around,
740
00:43:27,900 --> 00:43:29,800
twenty Twenty-One, he will be in
the NFL.
741
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,400
I agree.
Tony grab.
742
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,700
It's a similar situation for
Tony if Jermaine and Caleb
743
00:43:35,700 --> 00:43:40,600
continue their Trend one, if not
both of those guys will be in
744
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,900
the NFL next year.
And there it is.
745
00:43:43,900 --> 00:43:48,100
It's you want to start.
Here's your Prime opportunity in
746
00:43:48,100 --> 00:43:51,700
treyvion Henderson.
We don't have a 1A back.
747
00:43:51,700 --> 00:43:54,700
Even this year, we're looking at
Herbert in probably King
748
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,800
Herbert's going after next year.
So the Playtime is there.
749
00:43:59,100 --> 00:44:02,800
I don't see this as a situation
where it's worth, so loaded at
750
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:07,800
any of these four positions that
that should be on the table.
751
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:14,000
Blanding for should be the
Target and I'll probably be
752
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,900
dissatisfied as we land just to,
okay.
753
00:44:16,900 --> 00:44:19,900
And okay, man.
Yeah, can I can I throw a little
754
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,600
little factoid that you though?
Go for it.
755
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,600
All right, so just throw it
through this out there.
756
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:27,100
When was the last time we
landed?
757
00:44:27,100 --> 00:44:29,800
At least two of the top five
prospects in the state of
758
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:33,600
Virginia.
Well hasn't been recently, um
759
00:44:33,700 --> 00:44:37,000
I'd say 07 tie rod.
All right, so it was actually
760
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:41,400
2009 was the last time So that
was Logan and David.
761
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,000
Hold on.
You aren't married.
762
00:44:44,100 --> 00:44:46,900
I weren't married.
We had no kids.
763
00:44:46,900 --> 00:44:50,200
We didn't have houses.
Yeah, that's a long time ago.
764
00:44:50,700 --> 00:44:53,800
Yes.
So this isn't a recent Trend
765
00:44:55,100 --> 00:44:57,700
with us not being able and that
the top five talent in the
766
00:44:57,700 --> 00:44:59,300
state.
This is something that goes back
767
00:44:59,300 --> 00:45:01,800
a while we landed.
We actually had back-to-back
768
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:06,800
years, 2008 and 09, we did land
two of the top five players in
769
00:45:06,808 --> 00:45:09,500
the state and then we haven't
been able to do But since I
770
00:45:09,508 --> 00:45:13,900
think before that, I can't
remember the last time we land
771
00:45:13,900 --> 00:45:15,800
at more than two to be honest
with you, I wasn't able to find
772
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:20,900
the stats on that.
So if we end up letting 4E with,
773
00:45:20,900 --> 00:45:23,800
you wouldn't just be you know,
really damn good.
774
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,900
It would be something that's
pretty much unprecedented in the
775
00:45:26,900 --> 00:45:30,700
last at least, 15 years of hokey
football history.
776
00:45:30,700 --> 00:45:35,900
So while it's definitely
something that we want to set as
777
00:45:35,900 --> 00:45:40,100
a goal and try to achieve, it
would be Fairly unprecedented
778
00:45:40,100 --> 00:45:41,400
from if we were able to pull it
off.
779
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,800
But I think we could probably go
back and look how many times has
780
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:48,500
it been four guys at Fourth
various positions?
781
00:45:48,500 --> 00:45:51,800
It's not like two defensive
backs or two running backs where
782
00:45:52,100 --> 00:45:53,400
we're not gonna get both of
these guys.
783
00:45:53,700 --> 00:45:58,700
And I really think if I'm going
to say this, in the sense of
784
00:45:58,700 --> 00:46:01,800
college, football, ACC football
wheel, and all four of these
785
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,700
guys and take back the state,
the way, we're starting to
786
00:46:04,700 --> 00:46:07,500
create a nation wide footprint
down into Texas.
787
00:46:07,500 --> 00:46:10,300
If you guys haven't seen the
last few days, we're making
788
00:46:10,300 --> 00:46:14,100
offers two guys in California.
Which is just unprecedented for
789
00:46:14,100 --> 00:46:19,400
what we've done throughout our
lifetime as fans but to take
790
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:24,700
back your state in to that could
say something not only do the
791
00:46:24,700 --> 00:46:28,500
kids in state, but potentially
to a more Nationwide audience of
792
00:46:28,900 --> 00:46:30,900
you don't go in there and take
the top dogs.
793
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,300
If they've got spots where they
can play, you're not going to
794
00:46:33,300 --> 00:46:35,900
get them.
So that's what I'd like to see
795
00:46:35,900 --> 00:46:41,400
happen and essentially get back
to where we were 03 04, 05 a
796
00:46:41,408 --> 00:46:43,200
week.
Pretty much if we wanted them
797
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:45,300
and they were in state.
They weren't leaving.
798
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:47,600
Exactly.
Exactly.
799
00:46:48,100 --> 00:46:50,800
So we'll move on.
So, we're going to throw out a
800
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:55,200
Twitter poll.
And the question is going to be
801
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:59,400
because of all the Elite Talent
hospitalized in the state of
802
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:04,800
Virginia this year.
Are you more likely to go see a
803
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:07,000
high school football game?
Where one of these guys are
804
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,300
playing and not just the guys,
we discussed.
805
00:47:09,300 --> 00:47:14,300
But there are guys all over the
state so respond to us.
806
00:47:14,300 --> 00:47:17,400
Tell us.
Yeah, tell us where tell us, who
807
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,200
you look forward to seeing on
that.
808
00:47:19,700 --> 00:47:23,000
Well that's going to wrap up
this episode of The Boundary

00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,800

The fields for the dirt.
We don't even grow.
2
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,200
I spent my morning just cleaning
shit off your skin.
3
00:00:30,700 --> 00:00:32,700
This house is falling down.
The beach.
4
00:00:32,700 --> 00:00:36,900
Bellas are poking out.

5
00:00:36,900 --> 00:00:38,700

What's going on, man.
It's episode 3, man.
9
00:01:01,900 --> 00:01:05,500
How you been?
Oh good man, good weekend,
10
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:06,700
weekend treated me.
Nice.
11
00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:11,000
Got to get to make some barbecue
and enjoy this and some over to
12
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,900
my pops in the new place, so it
was a good time.
13
00:01:13,900 --> 00:01:18,600
We'll buy you all, we wrapped up
basketball, season played
14
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,400
Baseball with the kids in the
neighborhood, getting ready for
15
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,600
that and about a month here.
So nice, relaxing weekend plus,
16
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,800
you know, the weather Sunday was
gorgeous, Saturday.
17
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,800
It's freezing man.
And, you know, watch some hoops
18
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:37,400
a little bit of golf but overall
great weekend in.
19
00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:41,600
And speaking of this weekend, we
have to combine going on.
20
00:01:41,900 --> 00:01:44,200
Nope.
Yeah, Brian and you just looked
21
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:49,100
at what the next 60 days, hold
as sports fans, May you got to
22
00:01:49,107 --> 00:01:51,800
give me the rundown because
right now we're still in that
23
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,700
Lake.
It's not football season even
24
00:01:53,700 --> 00:01:55,800
though we got the XFL right now.
So you got to give me the
25
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,400
rundown to see.
We got to look forward to.
26
00:01:57,700 --> 00:01:59,500
All right?
So we just have to combine,
27
00:01:59,500 --> 00:02:00,500
right?
Yep.
28
00:02:00,700 --> 00:02:02,800
Which were going to talk with
Dalton key in a few minutes on
29
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,400
that.
All right, start in a couple
30
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,199
weeks you get the conference
tournaments basketball
31
00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:10,199
tournament.
There we go.
32
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:15,500
All over the place, then the
madness starts early, release
33
00:02:15,500 --> 00:02:20,400
exactly, you know, No, I'm the
golf nerd.
34
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,600
The players in the Masters are
on the Forefront.
35
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:30,600
We got opening day in baseball.
One of the best days of the year
36
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,700
right there.
Great day of the year, we got
37
00:02:32,700 --> 00:02:37,800
Spring football happening poke,
start on the 21st spring games
38
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,300
are happening.
Spring game is going to be
39
00:02:40,300 --> 00:02:44,300
tape-delayed and on television
this year, which is awesome
40
00:02:44,300 --> 00:02:46,200
because I know you're going to
be out of town.
41
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,900
I don't know if I'm gonna stay
up to 10:30 and watch it but
42
00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:51,300
just knowing we can see the team
play.
43
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:56,000
It's going to be awesome.
Definitely will.
44
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,900
Maybe get some eyes on how the
new ooh, alignments and stuff on
45
00:02:59,900 --> 00:03:01,200
defense.
Whos playing.
46
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,300
Whos not.
And then we're going to cap it
47
00:03:03,300 --> 00:03:06,100
off in the legs in the 60 days
with the NFL draft.
48
00:03:06,100 --> 00:03:08,100
So kind of football, season
begins again.
49
00:03:09,700 --> 00:03:13,400
So the next 60 days, anybody
telling you oh there's really
50
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,100
nothing on.
There's nothing sports to do
51
00:03:15,100 --> 00:03:19,600
know.
They're so much so you know you
52
00:03:19,608 --> 00:03:23,200
know head out to your favorite
bars, watch the tournaments.
53
00:03:24,500 --> 00:03:27,600
You know, if you get a chance
we're probably not going to be
54
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:33,400
able to Go down to Blacksburg
spring game is one of the best
55
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:39,100
experiences that you can go to.
This circle is so cool.
56
00:03:39,100 --> 00:03:43,300
Just getting to see the players
up close, getting to talk to
57
00:03:43,300 --> 00:03:48,500
them for a little bit after the
game, get to see all the alumni
58
00:03:48,500 --> 00:03:52,300
and the old faces come back,
come back into town and cut it
59
00:03:52,300 --> 00:03:54,800
up a little bit.
It's nothing but a good sound.
60
00:03:55,300 --> 00:03:58,300
It is and it's and it's worth it
if you're a Virginia Tech fans.
61
00:03:58,300 --> 00:04:03,400
An and you have that day
available you know take the if
62
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,200
it's just you and a buddy do
that.
63
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,800
If you can take the family and
kids take it hit, downtown up,
64
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,100
do a little tail gate and go
into the stadium.
65
00:04:11,100 --> 00:04:14,700
It's free and did get on the
field afterwards.
66
00:04:14,700 --> 00:04:18,600
And like Brian said, the the
program really pushes the
67
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,600
players to kind of stay around
when we went, you know what?
68
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:28,400
Five years ago.
Now then 2015, I mean we met I
69
00:04:28,500 --> 00:04:33,000
am Adonis all these guys who
were stars on the team and the
70
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,900
Edmonds Brothers, the Edmonds
Brothers.
71
00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:37,300
All three of them should post
that picture.
72
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,800
Biggest trick tree came back for
the game.
73
00:04:40,100 --> 00:04:43,200
Exactly, it's just an experience
worth going to and these other
74
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,600
sporting events, watch them,
enjoy them.
75
00:04:46,900 --> 00:04:49,700
It's a lot of fun.
But the first thing that really
76
00:04:49,700 --> 00:04:56,900
kicked this off was the combine
and man our boy Dalton Rambo, he
77
00:04:56,900 --> 00:05:02,300
tore it up.
Up towards solutely, did had a
78
00:05:02,300 --> 00:05:06,900
great showing it to me, his take
doesn't lie, he is a football
79
00:05:06,900 --> 00:05:10,500
player.
I think what he did for himself
80
00:05:10,500 --> 00:05:16,300
is probably solidified that he's
going to get drafted, he
81
00:05:16,300 --> 00:05:18,200
definitely solidified.
He's going to get drafted.
82
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:23,400
Then he made a push to say I
might be able to get taken at
83
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,600
the back end of day two, if the
right fit is there and I think
84
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,600
that's something that Didn't
really think was even going to
85
00:05:29,608 --> 00:05:35,500
be a possibility going into it,
just because of his skill set,
86
00:05:35,500 --> 00:05:38,400
being a little more Niche.
But I think putting all those
87
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,400
measurables together.
I think, maybe cause some eyes,
88
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,700
or some of those teams that may
say, Hey, you know, we might
89
00:05:44,700 --> 00:05:47,300
want to take a chance on this
guy even if even in the third
90
00:05:47,300 --> 00:05:51,000
round or something like that, if
the, you know, the timing is
91
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,300
right.
Yeah.
92
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,000
Well let me do the thumb for
those who, if you haven't seen
93
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,900
it on Twitter or went to the on
FL comments, I will do a quick
94
00:05:57,900 --> 00:06:03,000
rundown Down what he did 21 reps
and the bench, which I think was
95
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:10,300
fourth, 47 140, which was third.
Correct me if I'm wrong on his
96
00:06:10,300 --> 00:06:13,200
worst event was the vertical
leap at 34 inches.
97
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:18,900
I think he was like 9th or 10th
three comb 7.07.
98
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,900
Again, using that top five
range.
99
00:06:21,900 --> 00:06:26,200
Now, the two events he really
excelled at the broad.
100
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,600
Jump 100, 25 inches.
Which was best among the tight
101
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:31,600
ends.
Yep.
102
00:06:31,700 --> 00:06:38,100
In the one for me, where it
showed Elite in all forms
103
00:06:38,100 --> 00:06:42,100
because he is on the on one on
the first two pages, top of the
104
00:06:42,100 --> 00:06:46,800
20-yard shuttle at four point
one nine seconds from real
105
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,800
quick, kind of explain for a
tight end having that Elite
106
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,800
Shuttle time.
What it what it says, two
107
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:57,700
coaches like that because he was
he's in there with some white
108
00:06:57,700 --> 00:06:59,800
out since Stuff where it's kind
of like, whoa.
109
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,100
We talked about, you know, being
able to change direction that's
110
00:07:04,100 --> 00:07:07,500
going to come in handy on if
there's some sort of scramble
111
00:07:07,500 --> 00:07:10,600
drill when the quarterbacks and
trouble being able to change
112
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,100
directions, real quick and get
to the spot get open.
113
00:07:13,700 --> 00:07:16,200
It's going to be handy on those
angle routes that you had talked
114
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:21,000
about in episode 2, things that
he has really shown chilling out
115
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,600
on film already.
That, you know, he can show one
116
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,600
thing and then all of a sudden
you know he's cutting across the
117
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:31,000
middle of the field into that
into that void and once he gets
118
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,700
the His hands.
He's so good at making making
119
00:07:33,700 --> 00:07:36,900
people miss and breaking tackles
for a guy, his size.
120
00:07:37,500 --> 00:07:40,700
So, you know, I think that we're
definitely looking at.
121
00:07:41,300 --> 00:07:43,500
Like I said, the stocks
definitely Rising after that
122
00:07:43,500 --> 00:07:47,100
combine performance and, you
know, talking about the shuttle
123
00:07:47,100 --> 00:07:50,100
but also talking about the broad
Jim, I mean there's a lot of
124
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,400
what we think about blocking
from a tight end position.
125
00:07:56,100 --> 00:07:58,100
You know the explosiveness for
the broad jump.
126
00:07:58,100 --> 00:08:01,700
A lot of that is tied to the
explosiveness of At the point of
127
00:08:01,700 --> 00:08:04,600
contact when you block.
So, you know, those things
128
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,100
definitely definitely showed
that he's got that exposed as an
129
00:08:08,100 --> 00:08:11,300
ability to like we talked about
finished blocks and be able to
130
00:08:11,900 --> 00:08:14,900
make really good contact at the
point of attack.
131
00:08:16,500 --> 00:08:19,400
Absolutely, I'm really
interested to see, you know,
132
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,400
about, I guess.
We'll be about a month here at
133
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:26,800
his pro day down at Virginia
Tech and then kind of see where
134
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,100
he gets interviewed.
You know, the combine everybody
135
00:08:31,100 --> 00:08:34,200
can interview you, but it's,
those sort of second ones where,
136
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,299
teens might fly you out because
it's like, we need to know more.
137
00:08:37,900 --> 00:08:43,600
Going to be interested to see
how that, how that happens for
138
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,500
him over the next two months
here.
139
00:08:46,700 --> 00:08:48,900
Ben Curtis wants a trip to Santa
Clara I don't know.
140
00:08:49,100 --> 00:08:55,100
Yes well I mean you know I
looked at Cal juice check come a
141
00:08:55,108 --> 00:09:02,100
49ers fan Hokie nation and is
similar numbers to juice.
142
00:09:02,100 --> 00:09:04,700
Check now juice check was a full
back in college.
143
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:09,800
We're dying was Dalton was more
of a you know tight in HVAC but
144
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,000
some of the stuff he does I can
see it translating to us but we
145
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,800
don't know.
Brian, did you catch the Brock
146
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,500
Hart hit series.
You know, I did, you know I did.
147
00:09:19,700 --> 00:09:21,500
What do you think, man?
Love to production.
148
00:09:21,500 --> 00:09:24,700
Another again, let's let's get
the personalities out there.
149
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,800
So my biggest takeaway and what
I'd loved from watching that and
150
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,500
I was tweeting about it.
I know some people are called on
151
00:09:32,500 --> 00:09:38,500
to that but just things kind of
going south in terms of his
152
00:09:38,500 --> 00:09:41,400
eligibility and how he really
pivoted to being that off the
153
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,600
field leader last year for that
team.
154
00:09:44,100 --> 00:09:47,300
And that's what really stuck
with me doing all that.
155
00:09:47,300 --> 00:09:50,500
Because that's, that's hard.
When when you're used to playing
156
00:09:50,500 --> 00:09:53,800
and you're used to being the guy
that is out there in the alpha
157
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,500
role and showing it on the field
and showing it on game day and
158
00:09:57,500 --> 00:10:00,300
all of a sudden you have to take
a new role, the fact that he was
159
00:10:00,300 --> 00:10:03,300
able to blossom into that so
fast and get and gain all the
160
00:10:03,300 --> 00:10:08,400
respect from guys in the Locker
room right out the gate that
161
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,300
says something about his
character and says something
162
00:10:10,300 --> 00:10:12,900
about his ability to lead and
the fact that we're going to
163
00:10:12,908 --> 00:10:16,200
start getting some of that on
the field this year, just
164
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:21,400
thinking it's got me height,
agree on something else on that.
165
00:10:21,700 --> 00:10:25,800
I want to say about brought me
and Brian, luckily had an
166
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,600
interaction with him at the pit
game after the game was over.
167
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,400
We sort of walk down behind the
Virginia Tech bench, just kind
168
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,500
of set their dapping up guys, me
and him chitchat looking around.
169
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,500
Round and Brock is if he can
remember Brian, he was probably,
170
00:10:39,700 --> 00:10:42,800
I don't know 10 or 12 feet on
the field on the field.
171
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,400
So they've even gave me some
further and actually probably
172
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,600
passed us in terms of yeah or
field of view and me and Brian
173
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,900
were called we called out free
broadcasting and he stops and he
174
00:10:53,900 --> 00:10:58,000
like, gives us the thing and he
stops again and he came over, he
175
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,200
took his time to walk all the
way over.
176
00:11:01,500 --> 00:11:05,500
You know, we sort of said hey
you know, good luck.
177
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,700
Next year, can you know, we're
glad you're here.
178
00:11:07,700 --> 00:11:10,800
Adapt us up, gave us a couple
minutes, talks and then walked
179
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,800
in, but when you have something
like that where he could have
180
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,400
just did the fist bump and do
that that made our day him
181
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,500
walking over and talking to us
and kids Special that bloop is
182
00:11:21,500 --> 00:11:25,000
going to be nasty because I
think his mentality you saw some
183
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,200
of the think it was Silas right?
Or you can see in silence like
184
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:34,200
these guys want to go kill
people, to put it lightly and I
185
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:35,400
think him coming into that
group.
186
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,300
The competition's going to get
higher.
187
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,000
And I think the group was very
good last year in very young.
188
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,100
I think we're going to be, I
don't, I'm not going to say
189
00:11:46,100 --> 00:11:49,400
Elite this year, but we're going
to be borderlining on that.
190
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,900
If everybody takes the steps
coach Vice, I mean, he's really
191
00:11:53,900 --> 00:11:55,700
going to have some options
because he's gonna have about
192
00:11:55,700 --> 00:12:01,400
six or seven guys that have seen
significant snaps weather for
193
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:05,900
the Hokies or in Brock's case
for Coastal just coming in And
194
00:12:07,100 --> 00:12:10,500
guys, they can lean on and just
put together the best five out
195
00:12:10,500 --> 00:12:13,200
of that experience group.
And that's going to be something
196
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,400
that, you know, he really didn't
have, he hasn't really had it
197
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,100
hit during his time at in
Blacksburg.
198
00:12:20,100 --> 00:12:23,100
So I'm excited to see what the
finished product is going to
199
00:12:23,100 --> 00:12:25,300
look.
Like, we've got so many young
200
00:12:25,300 --> 00:12:28,500
guys that played significant
snaps last year and then, we've
201
00:12:28,500 --> 00:12:35,000
got a couple of Veteran, guys,
anchoring The Tackle positions.
202
00:12:35,500 --> 00:12:38,900
So I'm really interested to see
how they end up shaking out the
203
00:12:38,900 --> 00:12:42,300
starting five but I mean having
seven like I said, seven guys
204
00:12:42,700 --> 00:12:46,300
that have starting potential
going into the season is pretty
205
00:12:46,300 --> 00:12:47,500
incredible.
Yeah.
206
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,600
And that's going to make the
depth gray and that's going to
207
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,400
make the competition.
Unbelievable, one more thing.
208
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,500
Before we get into the day's
topics, thus California to VC
209
00:12:58,500 --> 00:13:01,400
movement and I'm going to, I'm
going to say my perspective was
210
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,200
like this, I saw it, we giving
offers that's cool, you know.
211
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,000
But then we'll all there some
milk Midnight Madness.
212
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,600
Some guy showed up.
I'm like that's cool.
213
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,200
Probably two or three guys know.
Brian.
214
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,700
You looked a little closer and
you texted me like not all how
215
00:13:16,700 --> 00:13:21,900
many good man, it was.
It was a whole busload, man.
216
00:13:21,900 --> 00:13:26,200
They were just, I was, I was
like, I didn't even think that
217
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,200
was something that we would, we
would see.
218
00:13:28,900 --> 00:13:32,300
Like I said, we heard the quiet
Rumblings and things on Twitter.
219
00:13:32,300 --> 00:13:35,400
Like, okay, California to VT and
all of a sudden, you know, we
220
00:13:35,500 --> 00:13:40,200
Got this whole crew there in
Lane stadium and midnight
221
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,300
medicine.
I'm like oh man, that that's
222
00:13:42,300 --> 00:13:46,100
some that's some special stuff.
And you know, they're getting
223
00:13:46,700 --> 00:13:50,000
likely from that perspective and
experience it that they can't.
224
00:13:50,100 --> 00:13:53,600
You just can't be replicated
anywhere.
225
00:13:54,300 --> 00:13:56,300
I'd say definitely not the
Pac-12.
226
00:13:57,100 --> 00:13:59,500
So you're right out the gate
that's got to be.
227
00:13:59,508 --> 00:14:01,500
That's got to be a big
impression on them.
228
00:14:01,700 --> 00:14:04,600
And we're kind of putting our
best foot forward with that.
229
00:14:05,300 --> 00:14:06,900
It Interesting to see where it
goes.
230
00:14:06,900 --> 00:14:09,100
If we can land any of them, one
of them.
231
00:14:09,100 --> 00:14:12,400
I mean, at this point
stretching, our footprint is not
232
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,600
going to hurt.
I mean, casting a wider net.
233
00:14:15,900 --> 00:14:20,200
You know, we get some more
recognition across the across
234
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,100
the whole country versus just in
our region.
235
00:14:23,100 --> 00:14:25,900
So I don't think it's a problem
there, especially since we're
236
00:14:25,900 --> 00:14:29,700
starting to see some of the
recruiting resources climb a
237
00:14:29,708 --> 00:14:33,300
little bit, which, as we have
said in a couple episodes past
238
00:14:33,300 --> 00:14:35,100
that, that's definitely
something we like to see.
239
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,200
Absolutely.
All right, so guys, what we're
240
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,800
going to be looking at today is
we got see a 2 V T, but we're
241
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,900
going to be looking at Virginia.
We're going to be breaking down
242
00:14:47,300 --> 00:14:49,000
kind of the overall.
What?
243
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,900
Recruiting looks like in
Virginia, this year, where the
244
00:14:53,900 --> 00:14:59,900
Elite Talent is some of the
names, things like that, for the
245
00:14:59,900 --> 00:15:03,000
what we consider the elite of
elite guys, four guys in the
246
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,400
top. 10 Brian did some video
breakdown.
247
00:15:06,500 --> 00:15:12,100
So, you know, this is going to
be thinking about guys that play
248
00:15:12,100 --> 00:15:14,900
in live near you.
We're going to give you some
249
00:15:14,900 --> 00:15:18,900
more info on them so we'll start
that out right now.
250
00:15:19,500 --> 00:15:24,300
Braun the 2021 Virginia High
School class.
251
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,300
There's only one word for its
Elite.
252
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,700
Big time, man, big time.
So you know, as we as I started
253
00:15:31,700 --> 00:15:36,100
kind of looking through some of
the recruits and Where we, you
254
00:15:36,108 --> 00:15:38,700
know, where they are.
I want to kind of give a
255
00:15:38,700 --> 00:15:40,500
breakdown.
Like who are the Hokies
256
00:15:40,500 --> 00:15:43,000
recruiting?
Are we not offering guys?
257
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,300
Because after 2020, you know
everybody, we didn't get anybody
258
00:15:46,300 --> 00:15:50,300
got one guy in state looking
Rudolph and now it's like what's
259
00:15:50,300 --> 00:15:51,900
going on.
You know, why?
260
00:15:51,900 --> 00:15:53,200
We recruit the state of
Virginia?
261
00:15:53,300 --> 00:15:55,700
Well, that's you just won an
appeal and straight or one the
262
00:15:55,700 --> 00:15:59,900
peeling in State this year.
Let me just say looking at some
263
00:15:59,900 --> 00:16:03,200
of the numbers.
It is definitely.
264
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,200
We are trying to get the state
this year.
265
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,700
So I'm looking at just the top
20 Braun.
266
00:16:09,500 --> 00:16:14,800
And okay, we have offered 14 of
the top 20 players in the state.
267
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,900
That sounds more like a Virginia
Tech recruiting push in the
268
00:16:20,900 --> 00:16:22,800
state than what we saw last
year.
269
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,800
Absolutely.
I mean, you know, 70% of the
270
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,700
class, all varieties of
positions.
271
00:16:30,100 --> 00:16:34,400
So, you know, I think last year
again, like, kind of like the
272
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,900
20/20 class in general.
It was just that weird cycle.
273
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,200
And I think we're back to more
of what we do in the state.
274
00:16:42,300 --> 00:16:45,900
Now, looking at these 20, guys,
and again, Just to kind of throw
275
00:16:45,900 --> 00:16:48,100
you the difference between
lasting this year.
276
00:16:48,900 --> 00:16:52,100
Seven of those guys are in the
top 24/7.
277
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,700
I've told you guys before I
think, 247, Sports does a great
278
00:16:56,700 --> 00:16:59,900
job.
I think how they break the guys
279
00:16:59,900 --> 00:17:03,500
down, how they rank them, how
they're consistently moving them
280
00:17:03,500 --> 00:17:07,800
up and down, based on their
skill level, their size, offered
281
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,300
us and so on.
But there are seven this year in
282
00:17:11,300 --> 00:17:16,200
the state and Compared to the
last year.
283
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,900
I think it was.
What to the top two guys wore in
284
00:17:19,900 --> 00:17:21,800
the top 24/7.
Yeah, yeah.
285
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,599
So we were looking at the two
guys that we that we worked on
286
00:17:25,599 --> 00:17:29,600
last year with were the only two
that they're really cracked the
287
00:17:29,900 --> 00:17:34,700
24/7 there.
So yeah, right now you guys kind
288
00:17:34,700 --> 00:17:38,000
of wondering.
Well so we only offered, we've
289
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,300
offered 20, you know, 14 of the
top 20 who didn't, we offer, and
290
00:17:42,500 --> 00:17:45,000
want to give you their names
positions and where they are.
291
00:17:45,100 --> 00:17:47,600
Just just so you maybe get an
idea.
292
00:17:47,700 --> 00:17:49,300
Is it a position where he
committed on?
293
00:17:49,300 --> 00:17:50,900
Or are there bigger dogs out
there?
294
00:17:50,900 --> 00:17:54,400
As we look into this further?
The first guy I'm going to look
295
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:58,300
at is trim Atkins.
He is out of Clintwood, VA
296
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,700
Ridgewood High School 61 195
athlete.
297
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,500
I'm just looking at that body
frame type and that tells me
298
00:18:05,500 --> 00:18:09,300
probably whiteout or defensive
back, doesn't give the full
299
00:18:09,300 --> 00:18:13,300
breakdown.
Next guy, is James Gillespie,
300
00:18:13,300 --> 00:18:19,000
6-foot to 300 pounds.
Of tackle at a Woodbridge, you
301
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,800
know, body type seems they're
not offered yet again.
302
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,300
There are things probably behind
the scenes, we don't know, we
303
00:18:25,300 --> 00:18:29,900
don't know their grades, we
don't know the fit but not
304
00:18:29,900 --> 00:18:33,800
offered yet.
Another one, Trevon green
305
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,000
six-foot-seven 367 found
offensive tackle out of Colonial
306
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,700
Heights like Christian Academy.
I would say just looking at his
307
00:18:41,700 --> 00:18:45,000
size not seeing any tape, he
sounds like more of a motive.
308
00:18:45,100 --> 00:18:49,200
Motor grader type offensive.
Lineman as you know Brian from
309
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,500
looking at a lot of the tape.
We're not looking for the huge
310
00:18:51,500 --> 00:18:54,000
linemen to push the pile.
We're looking more athletic
311
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:59,500
guys.
Next couple guys, need Evans 61
312
00:18:59,500 --> 00:19:04,900
175, again listed as an athlete
out of cocks down.
313
00:19:04,900 --> 00:19:08,300
VB he's already committed to
Tennessee, I don't have his
314
00:19:08,300 --> 00:19:10,500
commitment date.
So my apologies for not having
315
00:19:10,500 --> 00:19:12,500
the research there, but again,
you see that fit?
316
00:19:12,500 --> 00:19:14,500
You think defensive back wide
receiver?
317
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,100
And Jay wolfert 6-1 200-pound
Jewel threat quarterback out of
318
00:19:19,100 --> 00:19:21,400
Richmond.
Benedictine already committed to
319
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,500
UVA.
So, out of the six guys that are
320
00:19:24,500 --> 00:19:30,000
in the top 20, 20 minutes
committed, a couple of them are
321
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,200
athletes at positions.
That as Brian, you can see
322
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,000
what's on the board.
This year, we might have already
323
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,200
thrown a number of offers out.
What do you think?
324
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,300
I think the big thing is the
number of offers we already
325
00:19:41,300 --> 00:19:45,700
thrown out at those positions
and combine that with with fit,
326
00:19:45,700 --> 00:19:47,800
I mean I think that's going to
be the biggest thing as far as
327
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:53,000
those guys that we didn't offer,
particularly some of the
328
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,000
defensive backs.
We're already looking at a
329
00:19:57,008 --> 00:20:02,200
couple guys at the top of that
list at that position, you know,
330
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,000
the further we get down in the
top 20.
331
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,000
I don't think we're going to
necessarily, just keep offering
332
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,500
guys down the list, especially
in the same.
333
00:20:08,700 --> 00:20:13,100
State and then the quarterback
that's at UVA regardless of that
334
00:20:13,100 --> 00:20:14,900
situation.
You know we had a very early
335
00:20:14,900 --> 00:20:18,700
commitment from from D there so
I don't think that's really any
336
00:20:18,700 --> 00:20:21,500
comparison there and I think we
got the better end of that that
337
00:20:21,500 --> 00:20:23,700
exchange.
So I'm not concerned about that
338
00:20:23,700 --> 00:20:26,700
at all.
So yeah, just think I think
339
00:20:26,700 --> 00:20:29,900
we're looking at probably a
combination of fit.
340
00:20:30,100 --> 00:20:33,200
Maybe some personality things
that just don't quite quite
341
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,000
bash.
And obviously guys, we have
342
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,300
maybe already made offers to A
little bit further up the the
343
00:20:40,300 --> 00:20:43,500
totem pole for us, in terms of
what we want to do and you say
344
00:20:43,500 --> 00:20:46,100
what we want to do.
Because just and again I've
345
00:20:46,100 --> 00:20:48,600
looked further than the top 20
in VA.
346
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,500
There are some guys 20 to 30
range.
347
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,400
The biggest one is Jalen's
Stroman.
348
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,900
Greg Stone, his brother.
He's offered you know the other
349
00:20:56,900 --> 00:21:00,700
guys and that 20 to 30 range in
the Virginia that maybe fit what
350
00:21:00,700 --> 00:21:04,100
we want to do and we've offered
them versus the guys in the top
351
00:21:04,100 --> 00:21:06,400
20.
Maybe per our coaches eyes.
352
00:21:06,700 --> 00:21:11,300
These guys get better.
The big December Stroman there.
353
00:21:11,300 --> 00:21:14,700
I'll say was strong and because
we're talking about what we're
354
00:21:14,700 --> 00:21:18,300
trying to do.
You know we have really started
355
00:21:18,300 --> 00:21:22,100
to hang our Hat on at least at
the skill position, versatile
356
00:21:22,100 --> 00:21:26,900
players, whether it's guys that
can play, you know, Whip and
357
00:21:26,900 --> 00:21:29,800
Rover where it's guys are going
to play Corner safety.
358
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,400
I mean, we're looking at trying
to get more versatile on
359
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,500
defense.
When we look at offense, we're
360
00:21:35,500 --> 00:21:38,500
looking at guys that can play,
you know, do stuff in the chat.
361
00:21:38,700 --> 00:21:43,600
We do stuff from the wing, but
also split out wide, and just
362
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,300
run your traditional route tree.
So, I think the versatility is,
363
00:21:47,300 --> 00:21:51,200
what we've really been hanging
our hat on from a skill position
364
00:21:51,500 --> 00:21:53,500
perspective.
And so I think some of that
365
00:21:53,500 --> 00:21:56,000
Strickland down into some of how
we're recruiting some of these
366
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,200
players.
Oh, that's lutely.
367
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,600
And I think you're 100% right on
that.
368
00:22:00,700 --> 00:22:04,400
The other thing I look at Brian,
you know, we as the state,
369
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,100
everybody likes to beat their
chest, right 75.
370
00:22:07,100 --> 00:22:10,500
So, yeah, I know.
Let's hear the echo from where
371
00:22:10,500 --> 00:22:15,600
the best part this year.
You look at the top 20 guys and
372
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,500
it's a it's crazy how this
breaks down, but you're looking
373
00:22:19,500 --> 00:22:27,500
at of the top 27 from the 75 76
or from the 80 46, or from Nova.
374
00:22:27,900 --> 00:22:30,300
And one is from the southwestern
part of the state.
375
00:22:30,300 --> 00:22:33,300
So what this tells me, we all
like to beat our chest about
376
00:22:33,300 --> 00:22:35,000
where we live and the kids that
play there.
377
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,700
But what this tells me is the
state of Nia is a well-balanced,
378
00:22:39,700 --> 00:22:44,000
take their here.
There are talented, guys, in
379
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,100
every Corridor and leave no
stone unturned.
380
00:22:48,100 --> 00:22:51,000
And as we've seen through, you
know, side of the offer list,
381
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,900
they're not.
They have offered guys in every
382
00:22:53,900 --> 00:22:58,300
sector so does that shock you in
anyway?
383
00:22:58,300 --> 00:23:01,100
Brian from coaching in the high
school ranks or this is what
384
00:23:01,100 --> 00:23:03,600
Virginia is.
We are very well balanced state.
385
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,800
It is good more.
So I'd say in probably the last
386
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:14,000
decade or so in the last decade
or so I've really seen Nova and
387
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,000
the 804 really step up their
game relative to what when used
388
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,800
to be going on with 75 70 75.
I don't think there's been any
389
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,100
drop-off and 757.
I just think that those other
390
00:23:24,100 --> 00:23:27,100
regions have started to catch up
a little bit and they're really
391
00:23:27,100 --> 00:23:30,500
given 757 Run for the money and
so I think that's what you're
392
00:23:30,500 --> 00:23:33,500
seeing is that there's a lot
more balance across the state as
393
00:23:33,500 --> 00:23:36,800
you said.
Ed in this in this prospect game
394
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:41,200
now and I think some of that's
just coming coming from the 804
395
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,900
and Nova catching up on some of
the things that the 757 was
396
00:23:44,900 --> 00:23:48,800
doing 10 15 years ago.
And I think they're starting to
397
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,600
do that in the 804 and start to
do that Nova now and it's really
398
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:56,100
paid some dividends.
Yeah 100% And also the guys who
399
00:23:56,100 --> 00:24:00,100
are coming back you think Lauren
Johnson over at Highland
400
00:24:00,100 --> 00:24:03,100
Springs.
If you think about the Louis guy
401
00:24:03,100 --> 00:24:07,600
going down, the They're guys who
played at different levels, that
402
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,600
are coming back to the 804 and
they're going back to the 757
403
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,600
there guys up in Nova great
coaches.
404
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,200
But it, you're right, Brian.
It has kind of trickled and I
405
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,100
think that's good for Virginia
Tech as a program because if
406
00:24:22,100 --> 00:24:25,100
it's all over the place, there's
no one hot bed.
407
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,100
So for us, it's get the guys you
want from those particular
408
00:24:29,100 --> 00:24:32,700
areas.
Now I'm going to say this, I
409
00:24:32,700 --> 00:24:36,000
said at the beginning Elite Eat.
You want to hear how Ali run
410
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,900
about?
Let's go for a top three players
411
00:24:37,900 --> 00:24:40,300
in the state.
So the top three players in the
412
00:24:40,300 --> 00:24:45,300
state as follows.
They are Tristan Lee.
413
00:24:45,300 --> 00:24:51,400
The offensive tackle about a
Nova, he got a huge bump
414
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,800
recently.
He is the number for offensive
415
00:24:54,800 --> 00:25:00,700
tackle in the country.
In the country, not in the state
416
00:25:00,700 --> 00:25:03,400
in the entire country and I know
Brian.
417
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,300
You're going to do some break
down a little while in these
418
00:25:05,300 --> 00:25:08,700
guys but let me just more elite
elite part of this class.
419
00:25:09,100 --> 00:25:13,400
Oh yeah.
Treyvion Henderson down at hope
420
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,600
will help because the number
two, running back, not in the
421
00:25:16,608 --> 00:25:24,200
state in the country in the
country country, and that's
422
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,300
where 24/7 Rob will put
Henderson at one a couple days
423
00:25:27,300 --> 00:25:32,200
ago.
So, In Elite, and clearly the
424
00:25:32,300 --> 00:25:34,600
the top dog number one, in the
state.
425
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,500
Number one quarterback in the
country, number six, overall, in
426
00:25:38,500 --> 00:25:42,100
the country, The Joker, Tony
Grimes.
427
00:25:42,900 --> 00:25:46,900
Number one in the country.
Do all three of these guys are
428
00:25:46,900 --> 00:25:50,500
top 20 in the country in the
country.
429
00:25:51,500 --> 00:25:56,700
Literally what that is saying is
for any of these three guys, if
430
00:25:56,700 --> 00:26:00,200
you get on, it's almost Active
of day one, they're going to
431
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,000
come in and play.
Oh yeah.
432
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:07,300
Any high-capacity.
So Brian is you know there's one
433
00:26:07,300 --> 00:26:10,100
other guy too and I just saw
this a few minutes ago.
434
00:26:10,500 --> 00:26:13,400
You know naquan Brown's not down
the number 10 defensive end in
435
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,600
the country.
That's crazy man, that's crazy.
436
00:26:17,100 --> 00:26:22,100
So we talked about it earlier,
you know, and one of our podcast
437
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:26,100
last year wasn't a great year
for the state this year a lead
438
00:26:26,100 --> 00:26:32,000
of elite and We'll move to here
is Brian, has actually looked
439
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,700
the four guys that just
mentioned.
440
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,200
Brian is actually looked at the
tape and done a little Scouting
441
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,400
Report.
So we're going to move on to
442
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,700
that next.
All right, Brian.
443
00:26:42,700 --> 00:26:46,000
Let's start with maquon brown,
Ocean.
444
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:51,800
Lakes VB6 3205 defensive end.
What you see on this text,
445
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:53,900
right?
So, the biggest thing I'm seeing
446
00:26:53,900 --> 00:26:57,800
about the quad Brown, we're
looking at an elite Edge rusher.
447
00:26:58,100 --> 00:27:02,000
He can Get off the ball and he
can beat you with speed over the
448
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,500
edge.
He's really strong relative to
449
00:27:04,500 --> 00:27:06,400
his weight.
Actually, I saw him take on a
450
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,900
number of double teams on tape.
Never seem to get overpowered on
451
00:27:10,900 --> 00:27:13,400
those, even giving up a bunch of
weight.
452
00:27:13,900 --> 00:27:17,000
The biggest thing that I liked
was when looking at running
453
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,000
game, especially when he was on
the backside is that he was
454
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,400
really good at getting flattened
fast in inrush Pursuit from the
455
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,000
backside.
So he was able to walk down a
456
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,300
bunch of plays going away from
him.
457
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,700
Because of his Pursuit angle
because it'd be getting a really
458
00:27:31,700 --> 00:27:34,200
good read at the snap of the
football.
459
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:39,300
So piggybacking on that he
diagnoses please quickly, he
460
00:27:39,300 --> 00:27:41,500
attacks me and he trusts his
instincts.
461
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:46,900
He did a really good job of
knocking the offensive lineman's
462
00:27:46,900 --> 00:27:52,300
hands down and pass plays plays
fast but disciplined.
463
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,300
You know, he's going to need
some weight.
464
00:27:54,300 --> 00:27:58,400
Probably to be an every down
player at the power 5 level.
465
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,200
But I think out the gate, you
can probably see him as an
466
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:06,500
immediate contributor on special
teams and probably some select
467
00:28:06,500 --> 00:28:09,600
packages on defense.
All right, now when you're
468
00:28:09,608 --> 00:28:13,500
talking about the hands and
stuff so you feel technique-wise
469
00:28:13,500 --> 00:28:16,600
football IQ eyes, he's there?
Yeah.
470
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:21,800
So he's definitely a guy that
knows both knows his technique
471
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:26,100
but also is has really good
instincts, and is able to put
472
00:28:26,100 --> 00:28:28,400
that technique into practice and
plays really.
473
00:28:30,100 --> 00:28:33,200
Let me ask this because the way
it is, the concern 2005.
474
00:28:33,300 --> 00:28:39,000
You know, you don't see any guys
at the D1 level, play it that
475
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:43,300
way July's, a big Camp time so
that's about five months from
476
00:28:43,300 --> 00:28:45,200
now.
Where would you want to see his
477
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:50,000
weight be at come July.
When he comes to maybe the Tech
478
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,600
camp or some of the other you
know can see some more bleep
479
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,400
Prospect going to the Under
Armour camps going to the rivals
480
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:56,700
camps.
What would you like to see his
481
00:28:56,700 --> 00:29:00,000
way that in four to five months?
I definitely like to see you at
482
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,200
least put on 10 pounds in that
time.
483
00:29:02,500 --> 00:29:06,300
If he can get up to the to 15,
maybe even to 20 range, I think
484
00:29:06,300 --> 00:29:09,100
we're looking at, you know,
moving in the right direction,
485
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,000
I'm especially considering he
hasn't been in a college weight
486
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,400
program yet.
And that, you know, once he gets
487
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,700
to Blacksburg will probably will
be good to probably put on
488
00:29:17,700 --> 00:29:20,300
another.
Another 10 pounds at least over
489
00:29:20,300 --> 00:29:24,200
over what is being done now.
But I think if he can get at
490
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,500
least 10 more on him before he
comes in, that would be, that
491
00:29:27,500 --> 00:29:30,600
would go a long way to Helping
his his prospects as far as
492
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,800
getting on the field year, one
understood?
493
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,000
Alright, next guy, I want us to
take a look at our, you took a
494
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,800
look at.
I should say, probably a guy
495
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,500
he'll be competing against
potentially in some of these
496
00:29:42,500 --> 00:29:46,300
camps and for us, Hokies we hope
they're competing.
497
00:29:46,900 --> 00:29:50,400
You know, next fall against one
another in Camp, Tristan, Lee
498
00:29:50,900 --> 00:29:55,800
the offensive tackle, the guy
got the huge bump this week
499
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,400
Robinson.
Secondary School fair fight.
500
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:04,900
Max, 65 to 75 what you see on
him, you know, looking at this
501
00:30:04,900 --> 00:30:08,100
tape there is nothing that I
could really point to and say, I
502
00:30:08,100 --> 00:30:10,700
don't like that.
I mean this guy can in can
503
00:30:10,700 --> 00:30:13,100
really do it.
Also the biggest thing I saw
504
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,000
right out the gate, he has a
nasty Gene.
505
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,300
This guy's not happy until he
puts the guy he's blocking on
506
00:30:19,300 --> 00:30:23,100
his back.
He finishes blocks he has great
507
00:30:23,100 --> 00:30:27,400
dry block technique.
He does a good job of making
508
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,900
contact with power.
And then keep running his feet
509
00:30:29,900 --> 00:30:34,800
until his man's finished.
What I also liked is that on on
510
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,100
down blocks where the play is
going off of him.
511
00:30:37,100 --> 00:30:41,800
He does a great job of spreading
the holes so he's not just
512
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,600
blocking the man in his Gap.
He's moving moving.
513
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,500
The defender out of the Gap,
creating a bigger hole for the
514
00:30:47,500 --> 00:30:51,300
running back to get through.
That's the biggest things.
515
00:30:51,300 --> 00:30:53,300
I like from a technique
perspective, when I was looking
516
00:30:53,300 --> 00:30:57,200
at his, his film on huddle, I
didn't see a ton of past Pro
517
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,400
because the offense that he is
in high school, they run a lot
518
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:04,800
of wing T and Pro Set and
occasionally will go to like a
519
00:31:04,808 --> 00:31:08,600
Spread spread option, run
offense, when they go and
520
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:12,500
shotgun but they don't do a ton
of passing but I did go and look
521
00:31:12,500 --> 00:31:17,200
at some of his rival camps tape
and he's got a really good pass
522
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,800
set.
He has a great great punch.
523
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,300
So he stops the, the momentum of
the defender.
524
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,400
So moves his feet.
Well, so I like I said, really,
525
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,300
there's nothing that I could say
bad about it, especially as a
526
00:31:28,300 --> 00:31:30,200
prospect coming coming out of
high school.
527
00:31:31,300 --> 00:31:33,900
Let me ask this concerning.
You talk about the nasty Gene
528
00:31:33,900 --> 00:31:36,200
and finishing blocks.
When you see, or when you
529
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,200
coached guys, who wouldn't
finish blocks unlike this guy?
530
00:31:40,300 --> 00:31:42,500
What's, what is where does that
concern?
531
00:31:42,500 --> 00:31:45,400
You where it's not a concern for
this guy, but maybe there's some
532
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,600
other guys were recruiting that.
You don't see that what concerns
533
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,800
you when you don't see a guy.
Finishing, I think the big thing
534
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:54,900
is that you don't want a guy
that's just going to get to his
535
00:31:54,900 --> 00:32:00,300
spot and be be happy with with
area blocking a guy because
536
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,900
eventually that guy's going to
keep going and try to make a
537
00:32:02,908 --> 00:32:05,200
play Down feel.
Now, when you're talking about a
538
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,100
guy, that's finishing a Blog
that means, they are taking that
539
00:32:08,100 --> 00:32:11,200
player out of making a potential
tackle, whether it's at the
540
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,100
point of attack or whether it's
10 or 15 yards downfield.
541
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,900
So if he's finishing the block
that means that guy is not able
542
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:24,000
to make a play.
Something else as an offensive
543
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,700
line coach, not seeing you saw
the tape, you said you felt good
544
00:32:27,700 --> 00:32:30,800
about the way he looked and
Rivals Camp but does it still
545
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,200
give you some worry about?
Not seeing a guy with a lot of
546
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:40,000
live action pass Pro where I do
say in these camps you think he
547
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,500
can kind of see what's coming
where compared to in a live game
548
00:32:43,500 --> 00:32:47,000
if they run a stunt or if they
run Slants little different than
549
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,100
knowing?
Well this guy's either going to
550
00:32:48,100 --> 00:32:52,000
try a bull or he's going to try.
You know, bending get underneath
551
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:53,400
me.
Does that concern you?
552
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,200
Or is it more?
He so refined that the running
553
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,200
aspects, he's such a.
You see plays hard?
554
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,000
He come in.
This is what we can work on.
555
00:33:01,900 --> 00:33:04,200
Well, he seems to be a guy with
a high football IQ from the
556
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:05,300
tape.
I'm watching, it doesn't look
557
00:33:05,300 --> 00:33:07,200
like he's ever out of position
or anything like that.
558
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:12,900
So, I'm thinking he can pick up
on past pass protection, call
559
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,200
nature, that that would come
into play if there are those
560
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,400
stunts and inputs, but yeah,
you're right.
561
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:22,600
There is the CERN of this guy
probably hasn't seen a ton, a
562
00:33:22,608 --> 00:33:27,200
ton of of looks where guys are
coming it from multiple angles
563
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,000
at him so that that could be an
area of concern.
564
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,300
But just looking at the tape
when you're looking at these
565
00:33:33,300 --> 00:33:39,100
Rebel camps, generally the
drills do kind of favor the
566
00:33:39,500 --> 00:33:42,800
defensive lineman more, because
there's more room to work than
567
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,300
there would be in a normal game
situation.
568
00:33:46,700 --> 00:33:50,900
And also most of the time, you
know, the Your nose, either the
569
00:33:50,900 --> 00:33:54,200
snap or can anticipate the snap?
It's not like a live game, so
570
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,700
offensive.
Lineman is a lot easier in those
571
00:33:56,700 --> 00:33:58,900
situations and he's still out
there handling.
572
00:33:58,900 --> 00:34:01,800
Some of the guys that are Elite
at that defensive end position,
573
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,700
so that gives me encouragement.
So, like I said, the biggest
574
00:34:04,700 --> 00:34:08,000
thing is going to be, can he
figure out those calls on the
575
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:12,300
Fly and I think you can based on
just looking at his as tapings
576
00:34:12,300 --> 00:34:14,900
and knowing that I think he's a
guy that can pick up things
577
00:34:14,900 --> 00:34:17,199
pretty quick, right?
Thanks for educating us on, you
578
00:34:17,199 --> 00:34:19,699
know about always someone to
take some things that are done.
579
00:34:19,900 --> 00:34:22,699
Those camps.
So when we look at it we get an
580
00:34:22,699 --> 00:34:26,699
idea to say okay doing the right
things or the guys were looking
581
00:34:26,699 --> 00:34:30,000
at are doing the right things.
Alright next number one corner
582
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,100
in the country.
Tony Grimes Princess Day in
583
00:34:32,100 --> 00:34:35,400
Virginia, six foot 180.
Sounds like a perfect corner to
584
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:39,900
me.
What do you see from The Joker?
585
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,699
You know, he's think they might
be the Joker with this kid is no
586
00:34:43,699 --> 00:34:48,199
joke on the feet.
He has a nose for the football
587
00:34:48,300 --> 00:34:49,800
and that's what we like to see
in her.
588
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,500
Nation.
That's what the lunch pail
589
00:34:51,500 --> 00:34:54,400
defense has always been about.
That's what Beamer ball is.
590
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:58,100
Always been about news for the
football, and once he gets the
591
00:34:58,100 --> 00:34:59,700
turnover he loves to take it to
the house.
592
00:34:59,700 --> 00:35:01,600
He's not somebody that's going
to settle with just getting the
593
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:05,600
turnover and you know, first
Contact he's going down, he's
594
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,900
trying to get into the end zone
so that that's what we like to
595
00:35:07,900 --> 00:35:10,100
see.
He's got a great blend of size
596
00:35:10,100 --> 00:35:11,700
and speed.
I know you kind of talked about
597
00:35:11,700 --> 00:35:14,100
the, the size there in the
speed, is there as well.
598
00:35:14,100 --> 00:35:19,000
He's, he's both fast and quick
which is what you like to see
599
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,900
because he can move, Move move
laterally, he's got fluid hip,
600
00:35:22,900 --> 00:35:26,800
so you can change direction.
Well, he lined up all over the
601
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:31,700
secondary on his high school
team Corner, nickel safety.
602
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:36,600
So he's a very versatile
Defender which is what we've
603
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,400
been talking about.
We like to see some versatility
604
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,500
guys, being able to, you know,
attack for multiple positions.
605
00:35:41,500 --> 00:35:43,900
The guys being able to Blitz
from the corner position Blitz,
606
00:35:43,900 --> 00:35:45,300
from the safety, Blitz from the
nickel.
607
00:35:45,300 --> 00:35:47,600
So, this is a guy that can do
that for us.
608
00:35:48,700 --> 00:35:51,400
Good at, said, in the edge in
the Run in a willing tackle when
609
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:55,200
it when the scheme is calling
for him to set the edge, he does
610
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,700
a good job of squeezing the Gap
and enforcing the action back
611
00:35:58,700 --> 00:36:02,500
inside, so he doesn't get get
pinned in to get some.
612
00:36:02,500 --> 00:36:04,500
Let some of those big runs get
to the edge.
613
00:36:05,500 --> 00:36:08,100
He played a lot of offense to so
that means he's probably got
614
00:36:08,100 --> 00:36:11,600
some pretty good hands which
means if the ball is thrown in
615
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,900
his Direction and he's there,
he's going to catch it.
616
00:36:13,900 --> 00:36:17,700
He's got to make that play.
Yeah, everything I saw he was
617
00:36:17,700 --> 00:36:20,500
really great in man.
Coverage.
618
00:36:21,100 --> 00:36:26,000
He gets in the receivers pocket
and stays there when he does,
619
00:36:26,300 --> 00:36:28,000
occasionally get full, he
recovers.
620
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:32,900
Well, think about think about a
Kindle Fuller when when he did
621
00:36:32,900 --> 00:36:36,700
get fooled, what did he do?
So well, he got to the recovery
622
00:36:36,700 --> 00:36:38,800
spot and was still able to make
a play on the ball.
623
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,200
And that's what, that's what
Tony crimes does when he does
624
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,300
get fooled.
But again, from what I'm seeing
625
00:36:43,300 --> 00:36:45,700
on tape, that's of, that's a
very rare occasion as well.
626
00:36:45,700 --> 00:36:47,900
So nothing but good things about
him.
627
00:36:47,900 --> 00:36:51,400
And I think think we're going to
see some Some really, really
628
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,300
incredible, play from him,
whether we end up Landing or we
629
00:36:54,300 --> 00:36:56,000
go somewhere else.
All right, where do you want to
630
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,800
play?
If he commits to Virginia, Tech,
631
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:04,300
he's definitely Corner, maybe
eventually a boundary Corner.
632
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:08,200
Ha ha.
Hey, all right.
633
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,600
But but you see from him day
one, if whether it be germane
634
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:16,000
Waller, Caleb Farley, I don't, I
think one of those guys will be
635
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,100
there next year.
I don't think both, but you see
636
00:37:18,100 --> 00:37:22,200
them coming in competing.
ASAP with the respect of other
637
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:23,700
side of the corner.
He's that good.
638
00:37:23,700 --> 00:37:27,400
He's that technically sound.
He's that much of an elite
639
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,100
player where similar to Kendall
Fuller brand and face on coming
640
00:37:31,100 --> 00:37:36,200
in freshman playing right away
and contributing right away,
641
00:37:36,900 --> 00:37:39,200
he's too good.
Not to have him on the field.
642
00:37:39,500 --> 00:37:43,000
A good majority of the snaps on
defense, it's awesome that
643
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,800
you're probably going to be
doing yourself a disservice, not
644
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,600
getting him out there.
That's great to hear.
645
00:37:49,300 --> 00:37:52,600
All right, let's go with the
last guy on your list, frying,
646
00:37:55,200 --> 00:38:02,700
treyvion Henderson down at
Hopewell in the 80 4511. 195 is
647
00:38:02,700 --> 00:38:06,700
he every every offensive
lineman's dream to block for.
648
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,200
Yeah, he's the guy that you
know, patient at the point of
649
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,900
attack and reads us blocks well,
so he's not just going in there.
650
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,300
Whatever is aiming.
Is you know, sticking it in
651
00:38:19,300 --> 00:38:23,000
there and sometimes you know as
offensive lineman things change
652
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,800
at the snap of the ball and he's
he does a very good job of
653
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,800
changing with that going with
the blocks reading those blocks,
654
00:38:29,300 --> 00:38:32,600
and then just exploding through
the whole once it opens up, he's
655
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,900
got home run speed.
Once he's at the second level,
656
00:38:35,900 --> 00:38:38,400
which is what we like to see.
We like to hit those long play
657
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:42,600
as we like to make some big
plays on offense, he's great at
658
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,100
making people miss.
So he runs through arm tackles
659
00:38:45,100 --> 00:38:48,600
and he's good at turning.
Nothing into something, which I
660
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:52,600
think is sometimes important for
us, especially with, with the
661
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,900
scheme that we have.
There's going to occasionally be
662
00:38:54,900 --> 00:39:00,900
penetration and he does a good
job of making people miss and
663
00:39:01,300 --> 00:39:05,800
finding the lame or the alley.
Even when you know that point of
664
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:11,000
attack gets shut down.
Great, it changed Direction and
665
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:15,900
accelerating.
He was also used in the slot a
666
00:39:15,900 --> 00:39:19,400
lot for his high school.
So you know, I think you're
667
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:24,300
going to see a guy that has the
ability to do is Swing passes
668
00:39:24,300 --> 00:39:28,800
screens, run a wheel route,
things like that, he's a guy
669
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,100
that can definitely is used to
catching the ball.
670
00:39:31,700 --> 00:39:34,700
He also ran some of the, the
Wildcat formations for them and
671
00:39:34,707 --> 00:39:37,300
go live situations, or short,
yardage situations.
672
00:39:38,100 --> 00:39:40,900
So he's comfortable.
With the ball in his hands at
673
00:39:40,900 --> 00:39:46,200
the snap as well.
There wasn't a ton of highlights
674
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:49,200
showing your straight up the gut
run.
675
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,000
So I'm not sure how he is kind
of, on those inside zones, in
676
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:57,000
between the outside shoulder of
the Guard threw into the center.
677
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:01,300
They, mostly were running some
outside Zone and sweeps and
678
00:40:01,300 --> 00:40:05,400
things of that nature.
So, he did run more inside when
679
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,200
he was with the wild cat stuff
on the short yardage.
680
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:11,400
So, in those aspects, you know,
you know, you can run up in
681
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,200
those a gaps and get the job
done.
682
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,600
Done.
But I did see a ton of that when
683
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,400
they were running their more
traditional offensive sets, let
684
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:23,900
me ask this with him.
Working in the slot is something
685
00:40:23,900 --> 00:40:27,400
that we can use to our advantage
and recruiting talking about the
686
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,400
jet sweeps.
I mean, is that something to
687
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,200
say, trivia on you come here
you're going to get the carries
688
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,300
from the backfield, but we're
going to give you an opportunity
689
00:40:35,300 --> 00:40:37,500
to hear your first year to
you're going to be our slot.
690
00:40:37,500 --> 00:40:39,300
You can be one of our slot,
guys, taking some of those
691
00:40:39,300 --> 00:40:43,400
sweets, and you talked about
talked about a couple times, As
692
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:47,600
when those sweeps are blocked
correctly, a guy with home runs
693
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,300
feed.
Good night.
694
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:53,200
Exactly.
And I, you know, I like the
695
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,500
points you make there because I
think that's going to be
696
00:40:56,700 --> 00:41:00,000
something where if we're not in
a situation where we can say,
697
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:04,100
hey, we can guarantee you're
going to be our number one, a
698
00:41:04,100 --> 00:41:06,300
bag, but they're definitely
going to get some carries.
699
00:41:06,300 --> 00:41:08,900
You're going to be, at least a
few, have a featured role of the
700
00:41:08,900 --> 00:41:13,000
offense, even if it's not
something that is that, you
701
00:41:13,008 --> 00:41:16,300
know, one a roll.
So I think that's going to be
702
00:41:16,300 --> 00:41:19,500
key in terms of trying to get
him to stay home.
703
00:41:20,700 --> 00:41:24,800
I see so Brian can can we land
all four of these guys?
704
00:41:26,100 --> 00:41:29,100
I think we can.
I think we have the potential to
705
00:41:29,100 --> 00:41:33,500
do that.
Now we are getting some Some
706
00:41:33,500 --> 00:41:36,400
major run on, especially on
Grimes.
707
00:41:36,900 --> 00:41:40,800
And on in, on Henderson
Clemson's, making a big push, it
708
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,600
Henderson and George's down
there is, is pushing really hard
709
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,000
for Tony.
So those are going to be our two
710
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:51,800
biggest, our two, biggest
opponents for the, the top two
711
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,400
guys there.
I think we've got a really,
712
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,400
really good chance at the Quan
Brown.
713
00:41:56,400 --> 00:42:00,100
Interestingly, I think those are
the guys that I feel really
714
00:42:00,100 --> 00:42:04,500
comfortable with us being able
to close the deal on How
715
00:42:04,500 --> 00:42:10,000
important is it to getting the
first Domino to fall to Landing
716
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,500
all for getting one of these
guys become it.
717
00:42:13,500 --> 00:42:16,400
Let's say between now in the
middle of summer, how big would
718
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:20,400
that be to Landing off of work?
I think that would go a long way
719
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:25,200
because it would build on what
the kind of that momentum that
720
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:29,300
we got with Demetrius committed.
We would start building seeing
721
00:42:29,300 --> 00:42:31,700
some of that tidal wave start
pushing in our direction.
722
00:42:32,100 --> 00:42:35,100
And, you know, people, Start
saying, you know, it's not just
723
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,700
a one-off.
We've got all these big names
724
00:42:37,700 --> 00:42:40,000
are starting to say, hey, I want
to go to Blacksburg and make
725
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:41,500
something special happen this
year.
726
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:45,700
Now, I'll throw this one at you
man.
727
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:50,400
Do you think if we land at least
two of these guys, is that good
728
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,600
enough?
No, it shouldn't be good enough
729
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:55,400
Lanie to shouldn't be good
enough.
730
00:42:55,900 --> 00:42:59,900
All four should be the target.
These are four guys in state
731
00:43:01,500 --> 00:43:04,200
that we've recruited what it
appears to be very well.
732
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:07,700
So far, each position was, let's
just kind of go through each
733
00:43:07,700 --> 00:43:12,700
position, always need Edge
rushers, Right.
734
00:43:13,100 --> 00:43:15,000
Oh absolutely.
You don't have enough of them.
735
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,600
Yeah Tristan Lee, he's an
offensive tackle and some people
736
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:19,700
say that's our strength.
We have a lot of really good
737
00:43:19,700 --> 00:43:22,100
players there.
One of those really good players
738
00:43:22,100 --> 00:43:24,600
is Christian day, assault
Christian Daris all has another
739
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:27,900
season, like he did his first
two, he will not be around,
740
00:43:27,900 --> 00:43:29,800
twenty Twenty-One, he will be in
the NFL.
741
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,400
I agree.
Tony grab.
742
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,700
It's a similar situation for
Tony if Jermaine and Caleb
743
00:43:35,700 --> 00:43:40,600
continue their Trend one, if not
both of those guys will be in
744
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,900
the NFL next year.
And there it is.
745
00:43:43,900 --> 00:43:48,100
It's you want to start.
Here's your Prime opportunity in
746
00:43:48,100 --> 00:43:51,700
treyvion Henderson.
We don't have a 1A back.
747
00:43:51,700 --> 00:43:54,700
Even this year, we're looking at
Herbert in probably King
748
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,800
Herbert's going after next year.
So the Playtime is there.
749
00:43:59,100 --> 00:44:02,800
I don't see this as a situation
where it's worth, so loaded at
750
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:07,800
any of these four positions that
that should be on the table.
751
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:14,000
Blanding for should be the
Target and I'll probably be
752
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,900
dissatisfied as we land just to,
okay.
753
00:44:16,900 --> 00:44:19,900
And okay, man.
Yeah, can I can I throw a little
754
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,600
little factoid that you though?
Go for it.
755
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,600
All right, so just throw it
through this out there.
756
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:27,100
When was the last time we
landed?
757
00:44:27,100 --> 00:44:29,800
At least two of the top five
prospects in the state of
758
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:33,600
Virginia.
Well hasn't been recently, um
759
00:44:33,700 --> 00:44:37,000
I'd say 07 tie rod.
All right, so it was actually
760
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:41,400
2009 was the last time So that
was Logan and David.
761
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,000
Hold on.
You aren't married.
762
00:44:44,100 --> 00:44:46,900
I weren't married.
We had no kids.
763
00:44:46,900 --> 00:44:50,200
We didn't have houses.
Yeah, that's a long time ago.
764
00:44:50,700 --> 00:44:53,800
Yes.
So this isn't a recent Trend
765
00:44:55,100 --> 00:44:57,700
with us not being able and that
the top five talent in the
766
00:44:57,700 --> 00:44:59,300
state.
This is something that goes back
767
00:44:59,300 --> 00:45:01,800
a while we landed.
We actually had back-to-back
768
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:06,800
years, 2008 and 09, we did land
two of the top five players in
769
00:45:06,808 --> 00:45:09,500
the state and then we haven't
been able to do But since I
770
00:45:09,508 --> 00:45:13,900
think before that, I can't
remember the last time we land
771
00:45:13,900 --> 00:45:15,800
at more than two to be honest
with you, I wasn't able to find
772
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:20,900
the stats on that.
So if we end up letting 4E with,
773
00:45:20,900 --> 00:45:23,800
you wouldn't just be you know,
really damn good.
774
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,900
It would be something that's
pretty much unprecedented in the
775
00:45:26,900 --> 00:45:30,700
last at least, 15 years of hokey
football history.
776
00:45:30,700 --> 00:45:35,900
So while it's definitely
something that we want to set as
777
00:45:35,900 --> 00:45:40,100
a goal and try to achieve, it
would be Fairly unprecedented
778
00:45:40,100 --> 00:45:41,400
from if we were able to pull it
off.
779
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,800
But I think we could probably go
back and look how many times has
780
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:48,500
it been four guys at Fourth
various positions?
781
00:45:48,500 --> 00:45:51,800
It's not like two defensive
backs or two running backs where
782
00:45:52,100 --> 00:45:53,400
we're not gonna get both of
these guys.
783
00:45:53,700 --> 00:45:58,700
And I really think if I'm going
to say this, in the sense of
784
00:45:58,700 --> 00:46:01,800
college, football, ACC football
wheel, and all four of these
785
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,700
guys and take back the state,
the way, we're starting to
786
00:46:04,700 --> 00:46:07,500
create a nation wide footprint
down into Texas.
787
00:46:07,500 --> 00:46:10,300
If you guys haven't seen the
last few days, we're making
788
00:46:10,300 --> 00:46:14,100
offers two guys in California.
Which is just unprecedented for
789
00:46:14,100 --> 00:46:19,400
what we've done throughout our
lifetime as fans but to take
790
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:24,700
back your state in to that could
say something not only do the
791
00:46:24,700 --> 00:46:28,500
kids in state, but potentially
to a more Nationwide audience of
792
00:46:28,900 --> 00:46:30,900
you don't go in there and take
the top dogs.
793
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,300
If they've got spots where they
can play, you're not going to
794
00:46:33,300 --> 00:46:35,900
get them.
So that's what I'd like to see
795
00:46:35,900 --> 00:46:41,400
happen and essentially get back
to where we were 03 04, 05 a
796
00:46:41,408 --> 00:46:43,200
week.
Pretty much if we wanted them
797
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:45,300
and they were in state.
They weren't leaving.
798
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:47,600
Exactly.
Exactly.
799
00:46:48,100 --> 00:46:50,800
So we'll move on.
So, we're going to throw out a
800
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:55,200
Twitter poll.
And the question is going to be
801
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:59,400
because of all the Elite Talent
hospitalized in the state of
802
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:04,800
Virginia this year.
Are you more likely to go see a
803
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:07,000
high school football game?
Where one of these guys are
804
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,300
playing and not just the guys,
we discussed.
805
00:47:09,300 --> 00:47:14,300
But there are guys all over the
state so respond to us.
806
00:47:14,300 --> 00:47:17,400
Tell us.
Yeah, tell us where tell us, who
807
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,200
you look forward to seeing on
that.
808
00:47:19,700 --> 00:47:23,000
Well that's going to wrap up
this episode of The Boundary
809
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,800
