Mizzell to narrow list

  • http://virginia.247sports.com/Article/Mizzell-to-narrow-list-67482

    Virginia Beach (Va.) Bayside running back Taquan Mizzell was offered by UCLA and Notre Dame a week ago. Late last week, offer No. 16 came and for Mizzell, it was a big one.

  • Speaking of "Smoke", I was awoken at 5AM this morning in my hotel room by the fire alarm in El Paso... It is still going off - however we were allowed to go back to our rooms. So I got that going for me, which is nice.

    Last week in EP for 6 months...

  • I hope we can get this kid but competing with all of these big time programs has me a little worried. It seems similar to Curtis Grant where the recruit must decide whether he wants to stay home and play where his family can watch him (UVA) or go the Sims route and hopefully play for a big boy. Unfortunately, most of the time it doesn't work out for us but with Nicholson and Cooper deciding to stay home, it gives us a puncher's chance.

  • I don't see this like the Grant situation at all. We were never considered the favorites for Grant. I'm not saying that Smoke will definitely end up at UVa, but we are considered the leader, something that I never felt in the Curtis Grant recruitment

    It has to be overwhelming, even with the experiences of the 4 former players at Bayside going to major colleges in front of him, plus having an experienced HS coach who used to be a college coach. In the end, he will have to realize that wherever he goes he will have to live in the environment he chooses and with the teamamtes and coaches he has chosen, for 4-5 years. He's a fine player but he needs to pick the right situation to get into, as I doubt that he will be anywhere near what Harvin or some of the great ones were upon arrival at college. Mizell does play with a lot of character on the field and would be a great fit at UVa, IMO, probably after an RS year, but that remains to be seen. anyone watching him last season would have thought that he was a veteran/senior the way he played the game. ><

  • I'll continue to feel okay with this one as long as the same feelings on his recruitment from Jamie continue....

    Same here...as we all know things can change in a hurry ala JC last spring. One good thing when it come to VT in this race, I cannot imagine Coach Darnell Moore will do Tek any favors after the crap they pulled with Coop. Bayside rules!
