Burmeister to VaTech

[lukeyrid13]

Braxton has officially transferred to Virginia tech. I believe we still need 3-4 more transfers to make the numbers work.

Good. Hopefully he can find some playing time there, good luck Braxton!

Not trying to be mean, but if he wants to play he should have gone to division II.

Or a triple option team.

I don't know what his current thinking is, but apparently he maintained throughout that disastrous first season that he was a good passer who simply needed practice and wasn't being allowed to develop. He may still believe this. I do feel sorry for him, being thrown to the wolves as soon as he got to Oregon, but other QB's have thrived under similar circumstances. He got a really good chance to show what he could do, and wasn't able to capitalize on it. Hopefully he figures something out at the next stop. Good luck to him.

Maybe he is, but a QB can either pass or he can't. Being thrown into the fire doesn't change that. Herbert was thrown into a much worse spot as a true Fr, and was the lone bright spot in a horrible year.

Agree, plenty of QB's have dealt with the same situation, they either have it or they don't. They aren't playing high school ball anymore, everyone is a top high school player.

A good passer? On madden maybe.

Good luck to him. Hokies are happy and it seems Braxton didn't think he had a level playing field a Oregon. One comment from 247
Has nothing to do with anything but I believe I was looking at the comments on IG from Hokie central I believe and I someone said Bb wasn’t good at Oregon and he responded by saying
“It was an interesting situation. Hopefully I can show you guy my full potential. I won’t let you down”

Braxton was placed in a bad situation with a coach who couldn't coach him out of a paper bag during his first year. I wish him luck and hopefully he gets a chance to showcase his talents. With a change of scenery who knows what can happen.

Justin Herbert had the same coaches.

And is a projected 1st round pick if not 1st overall. Are you saying people shouldn't wish the kid luck and hope he does well? If this is the case Cristobal made a mistake in recruiting the WR transfer from Penn State because he struggled with the basic concept of his position too.

Well if we're going to go that far, the whole basketball team needs an evaluation as well.

Hahaha! Good point.

Oh, no. Sorry that I gave that impression. Absolutely, I wish him luck too. I just disagree with the narrative that he was dealt a bad hand here. He had opportunities that many kids would dream of. He really didn't show us anything with his opportunities. Not everyone is a D1 QB. I didn't see enough from BB that I think he'll have any chance of success at VA Tech. That said, I wish him luck to go and prove me wrong. Then he can crush my dreams of being an NFL talent evaluator.
