i like this kid more and more every day, hope he will be about 6'1 by the time hes in college and atleast 175-180 lbs though, the durability of his frame to play in the sec (has nothing to do with his height ast long as hes 5'11 or better IMO)
but on a side note, this just goes along with my hatred of all things frank beamer and Va tech. Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer watched Golson, then an eighth grader, throw for an hour and a half during spring practice. He told Earley that Golson is better at this point in his career than Michael Vick, the only freshman to ever receive a scholarship offer from the Hokies.
"He told me 'we will be back next year, to get him'" Earley said
just goes along with a storry i have about the opertunity to walk on and be apart of virginia techs scout team, and no im not bitter because i was told NO quite the oppisite, my good friend and starting tight end up there for 2 years browning Wynn had reccomended me for the fact i wanted to get into coaching that i knew the game pretty well and had a good enough arm to make a decent scout QB, but ididnt have any delouisns that i would be a "rudy" no matter where i went LOL. i had spent time up there with browning and some other guys went up there and went to a couple camps when i was in hs, and got to know a few people around the program, veaguely (but i never had enough intrest to even go to a home game). but i was thinking about folliowing friends up there for school, but at this time i was thinking about not trying to contenue playing football, already had 2 good concusions and starting to get some shoulder problems. and had considerd giving up playing anything. but i finay changed my mind and wanted to go somewhere i would atleast be part of the team more so than just the scout team. and i got another letter from a GA asking me where i was wanthing to go (which i thought was unprofessonal) and i told them as much, and i finaly got the call from another member of the staff and found out the real reason cause a friend of mine that played LB/FB out our biggest rival powell valley (where the jones brothers played) who i had ben at carson newmans camps and ETSU And E&H pretty much decided he was follwing me after i decided i was gona keep playing, which i tried to talk him out of he had potental that he could have earnd a scholly at tech ( i wont name drop here) but somehow the staff memeber knew we had told emory that we would be going there and planing to walk on, and he had the nerve to tell me that i couldnt make their team (which i did) but supposidly i was good enough to be on there scout team ???? ( yeah they are a big national powerhouse, right LMAO ). i mean i dont even know for sure if theese GA's were working on any of the coaching staffs behalf, but they sure displayed the same attitude that beamer does in that article excerpt. but browning said later going there was the biggest mistake he ever made, he said he wishes he would have took his UK or UVA offer
browning aso told me this guy is the king of negitave recruting, but it was where all his family had went. but that he had put down kentuckys coach (who browning had really liked alot) so bad it wasent funny im not gona repeate the things he told me was said about him. and had even mentiond the thomas jones situation to him and slamed him for not walking on there over a full ride from UVA! beamer does have an underrated staff fundamentaly, i really admire bud foster. he will be a great HC one day soon.
But as far as im concernd though BEAMER and anyone of the tick turds i delt with that still may be there (this was circa 99) worthless human like beings who have delousions of grandure but will never be nothing but a big fish in a verry small pond, and i hate to tell him if golson gets some size on him hes way better than the type of QB's that are better suited for running backs and couldnt throw a beach ball in an ocean and way to good for most schools in the alantic cupcake confrence. would be better off going with al ghroes staff , i think they will make a good QB out of verica.
lol:
