'13 VA RB Taquan Mizzell (Virginia Verbal)

[anarin]

Interesting choices for a runningback (except clemson)

 

[Ironman8]

Included us in his final 5 today per 24/7

I feel like Mizzell might be our best chance at getting a top tier RB. RB isn't a huge need this year if we miss out, if we do sign a RB he will be an elite recruit. If the Irish don't sign a RB this class. It should help the 14 class with playing time available.

Folston & Elliott are better chances than Mizzell.

I feel like the Elliott ship has sailed.

I feel like the Elliott ship has sailed.

Yup.

Which is a travesty.

But our recruiting win post signing day last year with our speedster will supersede this in the future.

Mark it down.

I like Folston better to be honest.

Not super encouraged by this. He wants to decide before the season, but has not visited at least three of his top 5. Why do I feel like it is UVa out front and everyone else way behind.

He does say he hopes to visit ND though. I really hope we can get him out. It is probably our only chance, and I really want him after the rave reviews he got at the Opening.

 

[notredomer23]

This almost feels like michael dyer's recruitment a few years ago... including us in all his top groups and everything but never visiting and ultimately committed to auburn. see something similar here, just not to auburn

 

[NYMIKE6]

UV or OSU.... and i actually think he is going to surprise and pick Virginia...

 

[NDPhilly]

UVA iis in front by a lot. OSU is in 5th. ND in 4th.

 

[NDhoosier]

but he hasnt visited us yet right? Hopefully he gets a visit in before he decides.

May decide August 21.

May decide August 21.

Ok, stay with me here for a minute - if he does indeed commit to ND, I would like to request that the members allow someone to post the classic gif and tag line that MUST go with his committment - "FO SHIZZLE, MY MIZZELL!!!"

You're welcome in advance.

 

[FLDomer]

Is he visiting ND???

 

[Hoos500]

Most of our fans believe he's going to be a Hoo. I'm not quite sold yet. He's got a great relationship with Mike London but what scares me is how far away his announcement date is. A lot can happen in that time.

What the **** is a HOO?

 

[RuntheBall]

Judging by his username and avatar I'd say UVA... but not sure never heard of a "Hoo"

Wahoos

Wahoos, or Hoos for short, is an unofficial nickname for sports teams of the University of Virginia, officially referred to as the Cavaliers. The terms are both also used in a more general context by students and alumni to refer to themselves as fans and alumni of The University.

 

[STLDomer]

Everytime I see the UVA 247 site, Wahoos247, I scratch my head.

Can u explain the nickname Hoos500?

 

[Bogtrotter07]

I was once called a wahoo, but that was far from a term of endearment, I think it had more to do with leaving a young woman's . . . Well anyway, it was her Grand Uncle and he was from somewhere south, but I thought it was from the Carolina. I thought he said yahoo, and that led to a whole other misunderstanding . . .

Sorry about that, I kind of forgot my audience. Wahoos is a nickname that Washington and Lee gave to us in the 1890s. They started to call our baseball players "Wahoos." It's something that caught on with the students and that's how they referred to our sports teams. As time went on, Wahoos was shortened to just Hoos. Most of our fans don't refer to our teams as Cavaliers but instead use Hoos. It's kind of stupid but it's our little thing.

I really like your site. I've been following your recruiting profiles for a while now. It's got to be the best free message board I've found for recruiting information.

May commit at Gridiron Kings. UVA still sitting pretty.

Evidently after a UNC visit, UNC has leapfrogged into his top 3 with UVA and WV
