Brent Pry at Roanoke Valley Hokie Club Dinner

The offseason will get after ya so....

.Wednesday evening at Hotel Roanoke. HUGE crowd, a nearly full ballroom, I'd say 3-4x number of people who attended last year at Salem Civic Center. Also attending were Whit, Mike Burnop, Ron Crook, Derek Jones and Brian Crist. Mike Vick was scheduled but was called to NY to film a Fox Sports segment.

Spoke to Ron Crook- an awesome dude. Super down-to-earth and friendly. Pry was working the cocktail hour talking to everyone.

Some Pry comments:

  • Says T Bo is a brilliant football mind and that they needed to have the QB coach and coordinator combined. Admitted last year it was not an efficient operation and that was clear to him as the season progressed
  • MIsses the D game planning but he needs to focus on HC. Joked that he walks by the DC meeting room and its locked to keep him out.
  • Said Mike Vick had a QB/receiver camp (I believe on campus) that drew top talent from around the country
  • Continuing to focus on in-state recruiting, and noted that they will have 10 kids on officials this weekend including the number 1 recruit in the state from Salem (Chris Cole), and that they are going to Claytor Lake. Apparently, they do some stuff that the recruits love- Pry was fired up about it.
  • They are hosting 42 teams for a 7 on 7 pass skel competition- again talked about getting people on campus in any way possible.
  • Really excited about Tuten. Said he's made Thomas, Duke etc all better with his experience and leadership.

Anyhow, nothing too special but a pretty good time.
