Miltons future?

[Mose Phillip's Watch]

Does he stay or enter the portal?

 

[utchs81]

Not sure, if he does will that paint him as a quitter? I want him to find his way and reach his sky high potential, but can we afford to be his proving ground?

 

[Mose Phillip's Watch]

I don't think it does paint him a quitter. If so there are like 800 quitters in college football in the portal too. Is Hooker a quitter for leaving VT?

 

[PEPPERJAX]

If Milton stays he will be QB3. I think Heupel will bring in a QB from the portal.

 

[backdoorcutvol]

I thought you could only transfer once

 

[London Vol]

I simply dont think Hooker and Milton will both be here in 2022

 

[Fightmaker]

I’m just curious, and this is a serious question-why does everyone think that he has sky high potential? Where does this belief come from?

 

[Majors]

Transfer down to be able to play immediately.

 

[Go aeiou]

Milton has no touch. He is reasonably accurate, but often too much zip on the ball.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

I hope he does what CJH recommends after a sit down I bet that is ahead. Nothing more or nothing less.

 

[Kinglberry]

You can transfer every year, or more. You're only eligible for immediate playtime the first. He may be eligible for that since he transferred prior to rule change, unsure as to that situation

 

[AdoptedVOL]

He needs to go to a team and conference where the game will slow down just a bit to allow him to work on basics. Im with the group that thinks his potential is high (body and arm strength) but he’s a work in progress.

 

[Mose Phillip's Watch]

I was watching him close during warm-ups. He has an absolute rifle for an arm. He was flinging it 50 yards like I would 10 yards.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

If he has graduated, he can go anytime with and play.

Physically he may be the mosy gifted guy we have seen here. Since '89 i dont think we have had one guy that can unload it like Milton.

However, if he doesnt get some help from a sports psychologists he is likely never going to reach his.potential.

IMO of course

 

[dustyrhodes]

He’d make a great TE.

You know, if this were a VT site, and we were hokie fans? Yes, he might be. How someone gets painted depends on who is holding the brush and the can of paint.

How often does that happen?
A QB with too much arm strength

I occasionally catch footage of some of those offbeat competitions where people throw various things like washing machines and stuff. I’m sure there is some Irishman someplace who can throw a football from the power T into the river, but that guy isn’t being courted to play QB. Was Milton a similar project to Kongbo, or Tacko Fall, or one of those track guys who they occasionally try to teach to catch and run routes? I’m literally not being an ass on purpose, I am genuinely interested as to what his appeal was back in high school. I’m not seeing anything in him other than a guy who doesn’t miss a rep in the weight room. No other real QB traits, other than he can throw it a mile. His path to being a starting QB at two historically great schools is a curiosity to me at least.

Not terribly uncommon to see a Nuke LaLoosh QB....some settle down, take coaching, and become stars (Favre was a prominent example), and some never do.

Milton looks the part probably better than any QB who has ever played. Great size, great athleticism, flicks the ball and it goes 70 yards.

His high school stats weren't even impressive.

[The Original Fade]

As a baseball coach, I’d love to see what his velo would be on the mound

Be to wild but I bet he could throw it 101mph

 

[VolBricks]

He needs to transfer back to Michigan.

 

[VolPack22]

He needs to add a class termed “Football IQ 101” to his Spring 2022 semester.
