comment from Jay's dad in today's paper

"I thought it was a great decision to go to Tech," said Mordecai, who added Jay plans to announce his intentions after this coming football season. "In my opinion, and my son's opinion, he's one of the best players in the nation. My son would love to have the opportunity to play with him. It's definitely in our thought pattern (to go to Tech)."

"Not taking anything away from Pete Lalich and Virginia, because the Virginia assistant coaches are great people, but this decision (by Taylor) does play a major factor," Mordecai said. "It's a new era at Virginia Tech. It's the Tyrod Taylor era. We saw the Michael Vick era. Now, we have to brace ourselves for this Tyrod Taylor era."

yes, that is Jay Smith's dad saying those things

here's a comment from Arrelious Benn

"I've never really seen him play, so I don't really know much about him, but I definitely want to talk to him," said Benn, who added that Tech is currently behind Notre Dame, Florida State, Illinois and Maryland on his list. "I know who he is. I'm going to go check out some video and things (on Taylor) right now."

Of course he isn't, he's Tyrod Taylor. And he looks pretty dang good on film. With the tools he already has and the development he will hopefully undergo, he will be fun to watch. Especially if he can be surrounded by a couple good WR's and a line to protect him with a couple of top notch backs to keep the D honest. He has the arm and moves now.

Rumors that running back LeSean McCoy has left Milford Academy to attend one of the Virginia military schools are false, and that's good news for Miami. McCoy had a successful semester at Milford and will be back on July 23. McCoy took an official visit to Miami for the Spring Game according to coach Bill Chaplick and loved it. If McCoy stays at Milford then he'll likely end up at Miami because of the solid relationship between Chaplick and Larry Coker....A very good source told me this past week that defensive tackle Marvin Austin liked his Miami visit better than his Florida State visit, but Austin's public comments have both being equal. This source said that he expects Austin to end up in Miami when all is said and done.

Ronald Curry looked great on film also, but ended up being only an average-below average college QB as well.
