Snagging players away from MISH ST, ND, TENN, VT, FLA, etc is a good sign. A foundation can be laid with this type of player. It reminds me of the Welsh very early years. Iām rooting for TE.

I hate the uniforms. We previously had outstanding uniforms and for whatever reason we let NIKE turn them to shit.

Holy crap, check out the offer list! Probably the most impressive recruiting win of the TE era so far!

CTE and staff are doing something right thats 5 recruits who committed right after a visit. 4 of them are high 3s or a near 4.
A lot of hugh skill level athletic guys. Thereās a plan in place

Itās all going to come down to winning this year to keep momentum.. I wonder what the minimum wins or quality of team he needs to keep his job

Fans are doubting their tactics, but the staff seems to be onto something. Instead of hosting large groups of recruits, they bring in either one or a few recruits so they can dedicate their time to them and build relationships. Recruits seem to be responding. I think they only want a couple more HS recruits in this class. So plenty of time to do just that.

Iāve said it over and over in this thread, but I will reissue it again as the season approaches. The bar is very low for the staff this season and it should be. 3-4 wins will be more than enough to keep everyone in place.
Making a move after this season would kill what little momentum the staff has created. Itās clear the staff is finding a stride and the recruiting tactics combined with the facilities are resonating with recruits and they are signing. The staff deserves the opportunity to get that talent on grounds and a chance to work with them. Firing the staff now would cause that entire class to be lost and make the program hit the reset button yet again.
Barring some unforeseen collapse (which even last season while bad they were competitive) I donāt want to entertain any serious talk about staff changes until after the 25 season.

Itās almost as if having a competitive practice facility matters?!?
Shame on the administrations who let it take this long to get done. Imagine if theyād done it 8-10 years ago like theyād once promised Bronco upon his hiring.

Aint no looking back in this car.
Obviously it would have helped it didnāt happen. And while facilities are great they arent a magic pill still got to close the deal and thereās no guarantee Bronco London would have done it. So I donāt think itās worth the mental cycles to play out that scenario.
What we do have is a set of facilities that are impressive a staff that is figuring out how to leverage those combined with small groups building relationships and pixie dust to rebuild this mess

I dunno man.. heāll be recruited against as a lame duck HC pretty heavily if we can only muster 3-4 wins again

Hows that different than the current cycle?
Expecting the team to win 5 or 6 with the current lineup and schedule is essentially making the staff a lame duck now. Thereās a reason every handicapper is pegging them at 3.5-4.5 wins and they were picked 14th in the conference

Itās not.. which is why I donāt really expect him back if we donāt improve this year
Then how are they recruiting well if the staff is currently a lame duck staff?

I think theyāre recruiting better than they were before but still bottom 5 in ACC. One more year is one more data point that he may not last. I hope he succeeds and all this is moot
Weāre doing well at getting skill position guys, but itās hard to overstate how massive it would be to get a 4 star DL or OL. I think people underestimate how much our lines held us back last year.
On defense, we finished last in the COUNTRY in sacks among P5 schools. I know we had a ton of injuries, but woof.
And on offense, we finished 123/133 in P5 in sacks given up.
Itās just so hard to have any success with numbers like that. I think weāll be better in both categories this year (hard to be worse), but our offensive line scares the hell out of me.
Our skill position guys are super exciting though. Iām calling it now- Andre Greene Jr. will be All-ACC

Did 2Jac leave this offseason or last?
Legit donāt remember
Last year was Heffās first year at UVA. 2Jās group at NC State finished 50th (tied with Va Tech and Tennessee among others) in sacks given up per game. Heās got a lot more to work with in Raleigh though.

Gotcha couldnt remember when he left. There wasnt a lot to work with last yr. When youāre starting 3 first yrs youāre gonna struggle even if theyāre 5stars
