Read article about him transferring and the comments were that he was pretty lazy and didn’t want to do the conditioning and then quit. https://247sports.com/Article/Virginia-Tech-releases-DT-Cam-Goode-from-his-scholarship-set-to-transfer-120238616/ No thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 How bad did this offensive class end up for us? Major problems at WR/RB are now showing. We signed 13 offensive guys. AMart- Stud Mo- Stud Jurgens- Starter as RsFr *Also our three highest rated recruits, but stars don't matter* Woodyard- Bust Bell - Bust/not on team Hunt - Not on team Jones - ? Not contributing when we have limited contributors ? Farniok - ? Not contributing when we have limited contributors ? McGriff - Not on team Legrone - Not on team Williams - Bust Watt - Never on team Canty - Never on team 3 out of 13 contributing. Only 5 of 13 have any chance to contribute. Oof, that killed depth in a hurry. Did a much better job with the D recruits. Signed 10: Jones - Not on team Wildeman - Buried by seniors right now Tannor - Starter Smith - Not on team Honas - Basically Starter Williams - Would be starter Alston - Likely bust Taylor- Stud Rogers - Pushing PT on stacked line Clark - #3 CB pushing PT 3 Quote Link to comment
GBRFAN Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 First off - nice summary of the individual players However, a little early to know the true future of Soph's and RS Fresh.... I have a hard time using the word "bust" until mid way thru Jr year. Quote Link to comment

Woodyard - SR Williams - SR Bell - off team but should have been SR I used "likely bust" on one RsFr, Alston. We lack quality, depth, etc at OLB and he's playing scout team. Meanwhile, his classmate is starting and Nelson who is younger is #2 on depth chart as a TrFr. 1 Quote Link to comment

And it's pretty harsh for any rFr. - some guys are more ready to contribute early than others. We don't have to assume the depth chart is the way it is because Alston is bad, could be Nelson is just better. I'm pretty sure Miles Jones is beat up, and by most accounts Jurgens is just a freak so I wouldn't say Farniok is missing opportunities to contribute. 1 Quote Link to comment
WyoHusker56 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Sort of curious what typical transition classes are like for coaches. They had to put the majority of this class together in about a month for the early signing day. Definitely had some misses/issues with guys gone or not contributing. I do think it's unfair to consider Alston a "likely bust" as a RsFr though. Dismuke didn't contribute until now his RsJr year and he was a lot higher rated in high school so he could have been thought of as a bust until this year and he's been solid for the most part. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I do not fault the coaches for the class, they had to make some relatively quick decisions on a smaller pool due to timing. I apologize if that is how it came off. They took some chances on some guys and it really didn't work out, which we are now paying for. Not sure why continual hangup on Alston. Put him in the same category as Miles Jones/Farniok if you want, defensively the list is still pretty solid. He has nothing to do with the offensive list. Even counting them it's only 5-13, which was stated in OP. Everyone is entitled to their opinions as far as it goes with Farniok/MJones/Alston. I think/hear they are being recruited over. Two of them weren't this staff's recruits, they were carryover commits. MJones has been healthy all summer and fall, hopefully it comes together for him. Out of the three he's the one I think has a shot. Quote Link to comment

You are correct - forgot the 3 were juco and no longer underclassmen...... as stated above it's a solid look at where they are - hope 1 or 2 can turn the corner and surprise us. Quote Link to comment

Good point on those three being recruited over I think you're absolutely right there. 1 Quote Link to comment
