Looking through the roster, this group of OL is huge (and young)! Thoughts on this being one of our best OL in years? If not this year, maybe in a year or two?

Seemed like one of the relatively few Texas kids likely to visit... obviously not a ton of room available at his position anymore though.

Tyreem Powell first to post his up:

Lots of changes (mostly removals of guys who are no longer VT targets, but a couple commits or shifts in position, as well) this time around:

I woke up in the middle of the night suspecting something had happened, and indeed it had:

Good scouting (and of course a very good recruiting job) by the staff

Bossi's Best: Future Hokie will continue his rankings rise

The Hokies took it on the chin with the recent all conference preseason selections. I believe this is a pivotal year for the program. If we don’t pull it together, this program could fall into a deep hole that would take a long time to dig out of.

It blows my mind that the Cavaliers are the new darlings of the Coastal.

Cam Hayes has a good relationship with VT assistant Chester Frazier:

Hokies putting plenty of attention on Cam Hayes

An under-the-radar kid who played football for the first time this past Fall:

Dorian Strong is a Hokie

He's originally from the Caribbean (I believe I was told Haiti, though the name sounds somewhere more English-speaking), so the upside once he's more experienced is very high.

As I long said, there was almost certainly not going to be any other outcome (though the Hokies had all of that 1-2% chance that it wouldn't be South Carolina)

I'm sure I'm missing people, and also some tough choices at some of these positions. Personal bias is also definitely in play with a few of these guys. Let me know where I messed up!
