I honestly can't say I agree with this statement....

Not that a 40k check is chump change. But Tre Turner is a man that left an awful lot on the table. I don't see him the same as Bucky Hodges. I think Bucky could have played ten years at VT and never turn himself into an NFL tight end. With Tre I think it was the environment. I really think Wiggins would have gotten more out of him, I also think more competition at his position would have pushed him more. Turner had more talent than the other WRs on the roster, and I get the feeling he knew that.

The time is now for Tre -- Hokie1992 05/01/2022 07:00AM

He got $40K guaranteed from the Raiders as a UDFA, solid pay day ** -- BROman Hokie 04/30/2022 11:33PM

LoL a few months rent in Vegas ** -- bluehokie 05/02/2022 09:43AM

$40k...for how many thousands of hours he’s put into football? ** -- marcbvtgm 05/01/2022 4:29PM

So he should put in another year of work to be a UDFA next year? ** -- BROman Hokie 05/01/2022 5:45PM

Did I say that? I was responding to the “solid pay day” comment. -- marcbvtgm 05/02/2022 12:53PM

My thought too, NIL and grad school... -- rjk1983 05/04/2022 12:43AM

No...... -- 2hhoop3 05/01/2022 5:57PM

$40k is nothing today. While it's his shot to take and you can't blame him -- 97Hokie 05/01/2022 10:54AM

So you won't have a problem writing me a check for $40K today? Right? ** -- Blueboy 05/01/2022 11:24AM

$40k after taxes is at best $25-30k -- hokiehunter07 05/02/2022 11:55AM

That’s a one time pay day -- OrangeHokieFan 05/01/2022 08:40AM

No it’s not. He will struggle to make a roster too ** -- beergutvt 05/01/2022 08:37AM

I have a slightly different take on Bucky -- EDGEMAN 05/01/2022 10:48AM

Did not jump well for high balls. just sort of boxed out. ** -- whatIpostlike 05/02/2022 10:20AM

Tre can’t (or won’t) gain weight & is not athletic enough at his size… -- BROman Hokie 05/01/2022 08:20AM

Agree with this -- hokietom87 05/01/2022 08:41AM

Scared money don’t make money ** -- uvabasher 04/30/2022 11:24PM

Yeah. So sad, he is a very good person too. ** -- brownsummithokie 04/30/2022 10:25PM

A year wouldn’t have helped him gain the weight and speed needed ** -- uvabasher 04/30/2022 10:22PM

He had several years prior to fix that-opportunity squandered IMO. Sad.** -- seacain 04/30/2022 11:08PM

Older prospects often get discounted. He’s played 4 years. He should have -- BG Hokie 04/30/2022 10:19PM

Did he get a degree? -- MP4VT2004 05/01/2022 3:19PM

Most do within 3.5 years because of summer credits these guys typically -- BG Hokie 05/01/2022 3:44PM

Exactly. I don’t know his official weigh in, but he looked a buck 65 when -- Maroon Effect 05/01/2022 11:42AM

184 I believe. Which at 6’1 is thin for a WR ** -- uvabasher 05/01/2022 12:09PM
