'08 VA OL Kyle Long (Florida State baseball signee - transfer to Piedmont CC)

[Messi18Man]

Looks like he is under the legal drinking age as well. Strange the kid is 20 years old and is only in his first year of college.

Despite smoking bales in my lifetime I still am blessed with an excellent memory. Click on the link and read posts 12-15. Howie may have had it right.

I remember that too! One of the reasons I thought we had an inside track on him early in his recruitment.

I wonder when we'll hear something about where Kyle ends up...

All signs are pointing to his returning to Charlottesville and walking onto the football team at UVA after a year of taking classes at Piedmont Valley CC to get qualified.

Heard he really still wants to play baseball....could be wrong though

Rivals premium board, so unfortunately I can't link. Someone other than the standard "friend of a friend of a friend", though. I'm pretty convinced, and to be honest I wasn't before because a lot of the talk was just coming from hopeful and overly optimistic 'Hoo fans. I suppose you'll just have to believe me or not until something more concrete comes out.

I think - not sure, but I think - that the transfer rules within the ACC are much more stringent within one sport than if he were to change sports. I know they can be even more onerous than Big Ten ones - it's why Gus Gilchrist bounced from VT to Maryland to USF.

There's probably also some behind-the-scenes family push to get him back to Charlottesville. The guy's not dumb. STAB is not exactly a pushover school. I'm not too concerned about qualifying. He's also got a younger brother coming to UVA on a lacrosse scholarship, so, again, family push is definitely a possibility.

Wasn't challenging you at all. What you could gave was what I was looking for.

Appears he will be enrolling at UVA to play football...

[southcampus]

Could have seen that one coming. I hope he gets everything back in order and makes a name for himself down there.

Long is now back in Central Virginia taking courses at Piedmont Community College. Reports of enrolling at UVA are premature according to his father: http://www.nbc29.com/global/story.asp?s=9948496

And Kyle also still has that interest in Ohio State. He has friends in the program (staying in touch with the Brew Crew guys ? although not so much lately) and Howie Long really likes JT.

As Kyle starts dipping his toe back into the exploratory waters of a re-recruiting campaign, our West Coast spies tell me he has already contacted Pete Carroll. Terrible choice (IMO, once again).

Can we get Kyle and his family re-re-re-interested in Ohio State? I will bring you updates of this Long and winding road as they occur?
