South Stanly DE picks Hokies over Pack

Bookmark and Share

South Stanly defensive end Justin Taylor has committed to Virginia Tech, picking the Hokies over fellow finalist N.C. State.

"He's only played one year of football," said South Stanly coach Luke Little Wednesday. "He's real raw. But everyone who looked at him was just so impressed by the way he hustles, and he's real athletic."

Once people got a look at the 6-foot-3, 220-pound Taylor during spring evaluations in May, the offers started coming in. He went from none to eight in less than a month.

"He just plays so hard; he's like a kind of wild man on the field," Little said. "You can teach football, but you can't teach effort."

Taylor, who has 4.65-second speed in the 40-yard dash, loved basketball and had to be talked into playing football. The results have been so impressive that he'll play some TE this fall as well as DE.

But Virginia Tech knows what it has. They plan to use Taylor as a pass-rushing defensive end, Little said.

Picking the HOKIES over NC State

A no-brainer decision if you ask me.

Of course, I'm a Hokie.

indeed

easiest decision the kid will ever make!

GALLIGATOR

EVEN GALLIGATOR FIGURED THIS ONE OUT, WHY WOULD A YOUNG MAN WANT TO GO TO A BOTTOM FEEDER LIKE NCS, WHEN HE CAN GO TO A POWER HOUSE LIKE THE HOGGIES. GO DUKE!!!!!!!!!!

Big News

Wow, what would we do without great local unbiased coverage like this.

How about a story on how decent student athletes are being shown the door and/or having their scholly yanked so the 2 Million Dollar man in Pine Tree Utopia can make room for all those starz he made promises to.

Don't worry

It won't be long before star players are picking NC State over other football schools regularly. They see something building in Raleigh. Some are already picking State over other bigger football schools. Give TOB another year or two and he'll be naming the players he wants, and getting most of them. Actually, I think he already is for the most part.

GET REAL

WHAT HAVE U BEEN SMOKING???? GO DUKE!!!!!!!!!!

We care, TOB doesn't

We the fans love to follow the "star" rankings. They give us an indication of how are teams are doing and are great fodder for speculation and argument.

I doubt that TOB (and I think most successful coaches) don't pay much attention to recruiting rankings, other than perhaps as an initial identification tool. They make their own evaluations and judgements based on team needs, athletic ability, potential for development and attitude.  

Agree

I think TOB is already doing that, naming the players he wants and getting them, for the most part. It is just that he is not picking the highest rated players at this point. It may work out, but time will tell.

DREAM ON

STATE HAS NEVER BEEN GOOD, AND MY BELOVED DUKE TEAM WILL BEAT THEM THIS YR. DUKE WILL FINISH IN THE UPPER HALF OF THE ACC. STATE WILL TAKE OUR PLACE AT THE BOTTOM, HAVE A GOOD TIME AS A BOTTOM FEEDER, GO DUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
