Re: Virginia 2025
My dad '54 played with Bill and Gordon. Though Pop was a freshman so just scrub squad with Bill, they became lifelong friends.
Gordon was Uncle Gordon to me, my dad's longtime hunting partner and real estate business parter.
Gordon was severely dyslexic and really couldn't read or do math, so was abused by his dad as 'lazy', but pushed through school because of his athletic prowess...graduated from UVA still not being able to do either...but very smart and creative guy. He was probably the most important mover and shaker at creating the Odyssey School move and expansion to the St. Tim's property.
I was in Florida, so didn't make the reception at the Hall of Fame for Bill Hooper but my mom did and said it was wonderful.

Fred Smith was a coaching God. Hop players loved him but then so did players on other teams.

Re: Virginia 2025
Kudos to anyone who made it through the U with a reading problem. I’m a decent reader and barely graduated. I know not all majors require the amount of reading that English and history do, but back then there were general education requirements that required a fair amount of reading. Congratulations to him on plugging away.

It's early to say, but he has a good chance at being short sticked until proven differently on a Line with Schutz, Colsey and Boyden if he returns. Of course, we don't know what attack will look like yet, besides Millon, so some one there might get shorted instead.slumdogmillionaire wrote: ↑Fri Jun 21, 2024 12:20 pm Just wanted to enter this thread and say Johnny Hackett is a certified baller.

Does UVA actually have trouble recruiting? Nice facilities are special, but it's not as if they don't already capture a healthy percentage of elite recruits.pcowlax wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2024 8:47 amWill it be fully operational?Hooz123 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 08, 2024 9:01 am Virginia’s new Olympic Sports complex.

Re: Virginia 2025
The recruiting landscape is changing with NIL and the jury is still out on its impact. UNC continues to underperform on the field, but recruits very well. Yes, it's a great college destination, but NIL has made them a potent recruiting force. There are some schools with pretty good Football and basketball tradition who already know how to play that game and have a leg up on others. It will be interesting to see the impact as NIL deals in the non revenue sports are still in the early stages of what they might become..coda wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2024 8:07 amVery nice.

Re: Virginia 2025
The anger was absurd and one of Lars former Brown teammates finally said as much on that thread on this site. The kid should go where he is happy. Virginia has flipped players and had them flipped from them. The kids ultimately need to go where they are happy and the fit is right.GaitsRightHand wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2024 8:20 am Virginia got a good one coming...

Hoping Duenkel gets right and healthy soon.

Re: Virginia 2025
I dont remember, when he flipped, but that is part of the consideration. If a kid flips really late that is a pretty sh!tty thing to do to a coach and school. Not sure when we got to this world that everything is about an individual's happiness and screw everyone else affected. I dont remember the details of this one, so not directly commenting on this kid's recruitment. I would add decommitting or hitting the portal from an Academy is just bad.blue angels wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2024 4:34 pmThe anger was absurd and one of Lars former Brown teammates finally said as much on that thread on this site.
