    Don't see it happening but EJ is working him hard. We'll see.

    FSU is his dream school is it not?

    Haven't ever heard that but it wouldn't surprise me.

    He's a Top 10 player. That's never an easy pull. It would hurt but life will go on.

    Who, Quin?

    Long way to go in that one.

    Might not be to long to go actually. By the end of the '12 it could be done.

    JO still says he's a heavy UVA lean so I would love it for it to be done by the end of this year so we can get the ball rolling with the other top guys.

  • Word is he's not going very far from home, so it ain't FSU, I think UNC will be our biggest threat.

    Uh, JO never said he was a heavy UVA lean, I have been on JO's boards for 6-7 years now, his info has always been spot on, I do believe this is the same JO that broke the story that Teller was going to commit to VT days before he actually did.

    I don't get the impression FSU is his dream school for I don't feel he had one of those growing up

    Lots of kids aren't fans like we are or were growing up, they just grew up watching the game and at most they loved an NFL team not a college

    As for Blanding I think FSU will land him, he loves the fact Stoops coached Sean Taylor ( his favorite player ) and Ed Reed also a favorite ( Stoops coached both at Miami )

    Also likes the fact somebody from his school went there and did well

    He also likes Odell Haggins ( most do ) who is his recruiting coach

    Still early but he will likely camp at FSU next summer and visit during the season, by then we will know for sure where he stands in regards to FSU if he doesn't commit sooner

    UVA really hurt themselves with the season they are having

  • There are just too many factors that favor of UVa - pipeline school, several visits to UVa, close proximity to home, several friends already there, London personally overseeing his recruiting, etc. He may give FSU (and other schools like UNC) an honest look, but usually, in the end, the home school is the victor.

    JO and our Mods said Teller was a lean to UVA...maybe he didn't say Heavy Lean but he certainly thought as did Teller that UVA was leading.

    JO has been wrong in the past but he's smart enough just to post quotes and not go too far out on a limb until he knows it...I too was on his boards for the last 8-9 years...He's far and away the best in VA and likely the region.

    I doubt it, in this case the home school really sucks at football and he isn't down with that in regards to UVA.... this season has really hurt UVA and I don't see you being much better next year whereas FSU will be even better next year

    I certainly think UVA is the favorite but I think if he does start coming to FSU like he says he plans then its game over, FSU will knock his socks off in comparison to UVA

    UVA needs to hope Mark Stoops takes a HC job

    That home team that really sucks went into your place last year and won. Did he not see that?

    lolz, Im sure that game will play zero role in his recruitment

    I did see Quin Tweeting about how excited he was to see FSU win

    Quin Blanding
    Man that was exciting. Great win by the Noles and EJ responded well when the pressure was one. Defense was dominant in the first half and were really physical.

    Could you post that because I don't see any tweet at all regarding last nights game. I do see a lot of conversation with Eli Harold, Tra Nicholson and Anthony Cooper.

    Well would you have thought that this late in the season that neither UVA or VT is Bowl eligible and Duke is?

    Can't see us being up to play in front of 9k at noon at BC....win or lose I think UVA gets our best shot, just not confident it's for a bowl game.

  • The Commonwealth Cup game. From battling for the ACC Championship game to battling for bowl eligibilty in 12 mos. That's a kick in the nuts.

    Yes it is.

    Webbi, it comes down to if our D vs FSU, Miami, Clemson shows up or our D vs Pit....I don't mention ST because yours are as bad as ours. For whatever reason our O plays well vs you all so I am less worried about that and I think as long as we call a similar game with JC getting the bulk of the carries we score in the low 30s.
