Philip Sims isn't happy...

  • Enter Night said...

    Hardship waiver...

    Look man, I don't know what he has to do to qualify for that, but c'mon. His primary hardship is that he's not the starter down there.

    Everybody's got an angle these days.

    who knows what hardship hes trying to get, but hes trying.

    That a boy, Mikey! Dump your two year Senior starter for the new kid, piss off Mike Smith when Watford is either 4th string or moved to a new position, and I'm sure Ocean Lakes is going to be thrilled with you when Cutler is the 4th or 5th string QB for the next three to five years. Bet that wasn't the pitch ol' Chip gave was it????

    London going to be burning bridges in what? Three years? LOL. Love it.

    your post is full of fail.. rocco has started one year, watford wasnt promised any playing time other than a chance to "compete" for the job(something hokies dont want to grasp) and he has been given a chance to compete.. cutler hasnt even committed to us yet..

    No.....let me explain how you failed. How do you propose Sims gets a hardship? Hurt feelings won't cut it. So that means he sits a year. Rocco starts again, hence, he's a TWO year starter. Sims ain't coming unless Mikey promises him the moon but.....but.....Lambert's been promised the moon. So who get's it? Maybe Sims now? Lambert a couple years down the road? Perhaps, but......

    What about Watford? I don't buy your BS for one second that Watford wasn't promised early PT. I know enough folks that would know to ever believe that garbage. BTW....I know you Hoo's are new to this whole football thing --especially recruiting-- but you'll soon find out that Mike Smith has A LOT of pull on the Peninsula and he can be a bit temperamental. Good luck with your plans! LOL.

    Oh and Cutler.... Where's he going to fit in? Chip and Mikey going to pull the offer now? That will sit well at Ocean Lakes. LOL.

  • Ask Methany how truthful londons word is. That kid was flatout lied to on the last day that he could've filed transfer papers last year. Plus if these rumors about Sims to uva keep surfacing you can forget about Cutler. Watford was nowhere near ready to play last year. London just wanted him in there for his own reasons? Even Lazor disagreed in what london was doing with Watford. It just took london awhile to figure out lazor was right. Meanwhile, Methany who was told he was the 2nd string QB only to keep him there ( told by a family member) was screwed out of a year of football and Watford wasted a year of eligibility and should have been red shirted.

    Seriously, these kids need to wake up and see that life isn't better on the other side. Listen to Beamer, he shoots straight.

    I find it amazing that when London talked to Watford, there were 50 hokies in the room who claim Watford was promised to start. Sims is still in Alabama and Cutler hasn't committed to UVA. Rocco is the starter next year and if he has a successful season, he will start his senior year regardless of whether Simms comes to UVA. London has made some mistakes but he isn't going to jeopardize his job. And for those who say we have 6 qbs, you need to learn to count. Rocco, Watford, Lambert are the only qbs that are on the team now. Johns comes in the fall. But thanks gdubya for keeping such a close eye on our players, it shows you care but it doesn't show much else.

    I call bullsh*t as well webbi. It was glaringly apparent that London was forcing Lazor to use Watford....so much so, I still remember a post game press conference where Lazor was asked about the "2 QB" system. Lazor sorta gritted his teeth and said, "that's the plan we're goin with..." There were several situations where Rocco was having success, and then Watford trots out for the next series with the ball first and ten from your own one yard line. London has his fair share of head scratchers IMO. Same with Dominique Terrell. The dude was definitely not ready to play and it showed.

    At some point ML's gonna have to make less promises and be more truthful with recruits.

    I dont like it but I have to agree with this post, its pretty much dead on. If Rocco was the sole starter last year I think we beat UNC and S MIss and get 10 wins. But the dual qb thing ruined the 1st half of our season. I totally agree that London was forcing Lazor to play Watford and theres a reason Lazor was trying to bolt after this past season but UVA hooked him up with the cash. Hopefully the situation is a bit more settled this year before the season and we can concentrate on winning and not trying to force guys onto the field that arnt ready.

    Good post.. I agree with everything.

    To be honest the dual QB killed 2 scoring chances that UVA had against VT.

    4 QB's for 12 year

    5 QB's for 13 with the MD QB
    6 if you take Cutler
    7 if you do take Simms, which IMO would be really dumb with Rocco looking like a very good college QB if they would leave him as the only QB.

    I don't think ODU takes Simms, their Freshman QB's numbers last year: 25 TD's 1 int

    They sure did. He was a heck of a HS player in GA but was undersized so the big D-1's passed on him (listed at 6-1, guessing 5-11?)...I went to 2 games last year, the kid is very smart, he reads the field better than any QB I have seen live from VT or UVA since Shaub. He makes no bad decisions. I would not take a 5* in Simms if I had this kid.

    Well said. As a hokie I wanted Watford last year because I think he could be a good player. The only reason he played last year was because London told him he wouldn't redshirt to get him to commit. London is doing everything he can to recruit the 757 and making a lot of promises to these kids and coaches. It's a slippery slope when you recruit like this and if he's not careful it could backfire. Being around many coaches in this area I can tell you that many have huge egos. One last thing Sims is a good kid and I wish he would have stayed in state but no need to bash him. There is more than just ability at play in that QB battle imo.

    Ooops. Nevermind, This has been covered.

    Bottom line, Sims would be the only 5 star QB.

    Agree that opportunities were promised to Watford and opportunities were given to perform...so I think London held up his end of the bargain.

    Sims has informed Bama he is gone. If hardship is granted and Sims / UVa is the resolution, someones feelings are going to be hurt because he would start 9/1/12

    blacksburghoo is probably just like Cowboys fans in DC. They grew up and everyone around them was a fan of the home team, so the petulant little punk decided to be a fan of the rival. I would doubt he went to either school.
