'15 VA ATH Jaason Lewis

We have no room for more. Sorry, but if we get or don't get an OT, we are done recruiting. It's time to hope we keep the rest.

If we lose guys we'll have room. GFW has already said he believes we'll land Richmond and potentially 1-2 more.

We absolutely have room. GFW and Hubbs say we get atleast two more on Weds and we would lose a few before them. Bussey is one that was asked to look around.

Really coach? So have you and your staff just stopped recruiting? Can you tell us how you worked out all the numbers the past couple of years?

Did you tell VW he wouldn't get any playing time? How about Ford? What did you tell him?

Supposedly we dropped Bussey because we didn't have room for him, that's what analysts are saying. So, either we can't get as many kids in as we thought, or we have some big fish taking those slots.

IMHO, if we didn't have the #'s, we shouldn't have taken Kelly. Bussey is not only a thickly built RB, but has track speed to boot. Would rather have kept him, but maybe the staff liked Kelly a little better. Who knows?

Harbaugh wanted Kelly fwiw..

 

[VOLorNuttin]

Our backfield would be boss with Lewis in the mix. Running with power + the ability to be used as a pass-catching target out of the backfield. Would give us an insane amount of talent/size at RB.

Staff likes Kelly better or wouldn't have taken him

Easy to say that from a fan perspective, but you/we don't know the #'s situation. If we were making room for 3 RB's, it's not a matter of liking one above the other. It's a matter of taking both.

It's not a matter of fan perspective Kelly was considered a higher want on the board than bussey, Lewis and love according to hubbs.

Thanks for some real info.

Let's see he is a 4 star 6'2" 247 lbs RB, WR, ATH and Safety and you really think we won't take because we're full? We need this guy because of his size and versatility and we will have room if he wants to come.

My first thought when Bussey flipped was that we were getting Lewis and I still beleive this.

Lewis is from my neck of the woods and I always like it when 757 guys end up at my alma mater. Last year I heard a few things from someone that knows an administrator as his school that gave me a brief inkling of hope but it didn't last long when it became obvious he didn't want to switch positions at the next level.

Since then there has seemingly been very little communication between the two sides. There was brief talk of an OV but it never materialized, we took another RB commitment in Kelly, and did drop another but all signs point to that being Richmond related.

So after all of that, what makes you "beleive" we are getting him?

If I am in Coach Gillespie's shoes, I'm on Lewis like bark on a tree.

Thought this was common knowledge. It was talked about a lot because everyone wondered why we were so hard after Kelly, who was a 3 star athlete. While we were still in it with Love, Bussey, Lewis and others. It wasn't just Hubbs, it was everybody reporting that Kelly was the number one target left on the board at RB.

We are turning alot of great players (yes, 4 stars) away because our class is that good. There are guys you take "and make room," and we have alot of those now. So, there is no room. Hopefully, our fans can get used to this.

That appears to be the case. Butch got his man.
