Another transfer from UVA, who had a pretty good rating coming out of high school.

ANOTHER DI-A cornerback? Isn't that number 3? Hopefully some of these guys can learn to play safety, too.

We need some receivers, particularly starting next year.

Ah, a rival Bruin on the board. I teach at Great Bridge.

I coached against this kid in track. Unreal athlete.

This is an exciting time to be a Liberty fan!

Not the best video quality, but you get the idea. By the way, the Southeastern District is loaded with athletes, so he isn't doing this stuff against low-quality players.

Philip Sims (down at Alabama) came out of the Southeastern District (Oscar Smith) and you see a LOT of those guys signing with FBS programs

Chris Lang tweet: "Also, Javanti Sparrow, the UVA transfer, has left the team after just a couple of days of practice. Wanted to be closer to home."

I wouldnt call it a bust per se...just part of the circle of life that is training camp

Beej, it was a bust.

Then we shall agree to disagree on the matter...I dont think there is enough for me to say that he was a bust and I just chalk this up to the attrition of the circle of life that is preseason camp.

He went home...wouldnt surprise me if he tried to go to NSU, ODU, William and Mary or Hampton...Maybe Lang can find something out in greater detail

Well I'm sad to see him go, I do love FBS talent, but his discomfort and instability as far as committing to a program could very well have hampered his productivity. That's not to say that he might not have come around and loved the mountain but it's never good to have such lingering doubts. O well wish you the best buddy may the Lord bless you and keep you.

I'm pretty sure W & M isn't in his future...his grades weren't the best, if I remember correctly.
