Michele Gordon…she’s worked at Comcast for nearly a decade and is one of the best sports producers around with contacts and sources throughout the ACC. If she says she has a source, I’ll take her at her word.

Somebody just mentioned it earlier but LT loses 3 key receivers and that mixed with a new OC that will want to pound the rock as Beamer likes doesn’t bode well for LT. Oh course his play year doesn’t merit him leaving but the QB class is weak and he might be rated high enough for him to go.

He’s not ready and won’t get that way sitting on an NFL bench. Andy, any idea what the “success rate” is for Hokies leaving early for the NFL? My sense is that most of those guys would have benefitted greatly by staying, including David Wilson, Ryan Williams and Darren Evans. Another would be Jason Worilds who is finally playing in Pittsburgh, but only after 3+ years of specials teams play, and he’s still not starting.

On a related note…..Beamer OVERUSES the redshirt….they’re gonna leave early….get something out of them while they’re there. The fact that we lead the country in graduates on the team would support that. Sure would have been nice to have Trey Edmonds running the football this year after hearing about the RB committee Beamer and others were so excited about coming into this year.

It’s time for Bud Foster to take the reins… he can bring the program back when it needs to be. Frank needs to move on down the bench and leave the program to Bud. I understand Stiney has been offered a position as water boy with the Duluth School of The Inept!

LT should go! The offensive line will be even weaker next season, losing its best two linemen, tackles Becton and Painter. Unless he wants to take another savage beating, LT should bolt and start playing for pay.

Steve 78…I am not sure we can beat Duke next year. They played better than us, had better coaching and probably should have won their bowl game (without those costly turnovers) I think Duke has a long way to go to be a real threat, but not sure they will be dead last in the ACC for the near future. Also think UVA made a good decision to hire O’Brian, and look for them to improve with better coaching. Still hoping change is coming to Turkeyville in 2013!

Thomas would be insane to return to VT. For what? He has no receivers to throw to and that was obvious this year, there was no Coale, Wilson or Boykin so he is mediocre at best without players like that. The NFL is short on QB’s so it is a perfect opportunity for Thomas; he can sneak in under the radar and maybe end up better than Drunkenmiller did a few years ago. These guys need to go for the $$$ as much as they can, there may not be another opportunity. Evans and Williams did go too early but they weren’t all that good anyway; Thomas is big and strong and there is a lot to work with, he can be a QB, TE or defensive end or even a linebacker. Go for the gold!!!
