UTC's line averaged 298 and had 3 players on all conference list, including one magazine picking one of their guys as the best payer in the conference. UR averaged 301.
I wouldn't be concerned with the size of our line. We're not going to be sending 250 pounders out there...

Just noticed that DJ Stubbs decommitted from FIU a month ago and he recently started following Durden and Corp on Twitter, so maybe we're still involved?
Not really sure what the staff views as the biggest needs, especially considering who has already committed.
Agreed. Would love a big body in the middle of the D Line that we could redshirt.

I love seeing, "best of both worlds" in that article twice. #RussBus' message is resonating with recruits if we see this communicated in the public.
seems like coach russ is great at one on one recruiting he is very proud to be at the univ of richmond , and that makes the kids want to be part of this , a great hire
LOL- no one is thinking in that direction. The comment was about smaller fast players, and I was implying that smaller fast players can be stopped by bigger stronger players, now days. Maybe I'm prejudice, but I see the CAA teams as being bigger and stronger in most cases, than the Southern Conference teams.
It's public now...Bowler has committed to the Spiders...

Anybody got a sense of what position we are recruiting him to play? I was wondering if there would be a QB in this class...
I hope that all of these defects to W&M understand that at UR, the play-offs is an every year thing with multiple play-off games and that at W&M, you make the play-offs once every 5 years and lose in the first or second round. Plus, Laycock will likely be gone before you graduate and while that might not be a bad thing in the long run, it will be a change. I am confident that we will be back on top next year and for many years to come.
William and Mary is going to be rebulding next year. The lose a lot from an already not so good team including mr. Clueless.
A lot of the kids that are not sticking with UR are doing so because they eye told that while we would honor their scholarship offer, they may not be an ideal fit for what the staff is looking to do...
We've done everything we can with regard to Nate. It'll come down to how he can see himself during in the offense here and the offense there.
I have a lot of confidence in the staff based on things I hear but can't publish.

i would hope our offense would stay mostly the same schemes , the talent level we have at the skill positions is greater than they had at ut chatanooga , alot like jmu coach building the offense to fit the talent. it seems evans wants to play alot right away , running back is a place we have depth , with thompson and collins and goodall he might be looking at a redshirt year here
I hope we get Evans too but we've got 3 more years of Thompson, Goodall and Collins. If we lose Evans - it could simply be because of the respective depth charts at RB. If heavy, early reps are his goal, he would be wise to consider the Tribe.
It's definitely not unusual for new coaches to make the tough calls to recruits to let them know their vision for them and to give them an out. I respect that this staff has done that versus doing what UConn did and just yanking scholarships. It stinks for the kids, but that's an issue with the whole process. Nothing is final until signing day and even then, Coaches can leave. It's my understanding that Nate is a kid they really want to keep, but like you said, he has to figure out which place is a better offensive fit. While I hate to see anyone defect to WM or elsewhere, he is a local kid with a lot of talent and I wish him well no matter his decision. I'm certain none of these kids wanted to be in this situation (LPitts, Fox, Kroll, TPitts, etc). I have heard some buzz that Thyrick Pitts is definitely leaning towards UD. He had developed a really good relationship with Mines and as his position coach, he's got a lot of influence. Losing him and Evans will be big losses, but Huesman will find others or use the kids we have in other capacities. I'm happy with the recent commits and hope to see more coming out of this weekend. #GoSpiders
if you notice the picture with tyrick pitts and coach rocco , its the only picture i have seen thyrick smile , maybe thats a hint lol
A coach can tell a recruit he's not a good fit for his system and it's ok, but when a recruit says let me rethink my decision based on a coaching change it's a bad reflection on him. I really think people should understand that it's a big decision for a student athlete and they should be given the opportunity to make sure they are making the right decision on a school.
It was expected. I hope he chooses us in the end, but if he doesn't, it is what it is. I'd rather lose him to WM though. At least they have solid academics. He'll be downgrading in that respect at UD.
