If it helps them get him, that'd be great, because he's an outstanding point guard:

There'll probably be a few of these offers - 2020 kids who can move up to 2019 (either because they've been keeping their options open, or because they'd previously reclassed from 2019 to 2020 because they were hoping for bigger offers) - to help round out the 2019 class:

New Virginia Tech basketball offer: Shakeel Moore

Current 2020 prospect, but a potential 2019 enrollee if things line up right:

I just noticed this a few minutes ago.

...on Saturday. According to a source he brought the entire coaching staff with him and visited with two families:

The Blackshear family and the Cattoor family.

Obviously Young is trying to keep Blackshear in the fold but my source believes that is highly unlikely to happen. My source expects Blackshear to meet with NBA teams, play at Portsmouth in May and then make a decision on whether he will stay in the draft or go the grad transfer route.

Meet Hunter Cattoor

Cattoor committed to Wofford and the assistant coach who led his recruitment joined Young at Virginia Tech. (Ignore the lack of 'stars' Cattoor is a three-star prospect and I'll get that fixed).

My source said that Mike Young met with Cattoor and his family and made it clear that they want him in Blacksburg. A visit was set up for this week (I believe he said that it will start on Thursday) and my source expects Cattoor to sign with Virginia Tech once the signing period begins on April 17.

Other schools my source named that reached out to Cattor, once he got his release, were North Carolina and Davidson. He added that there were a few more but he couldn't recall them at the moment, then he started talking about the Virginia Tech visit and basically made it sound like a fait accompli that Cattor would end up at Virginia Tech.

I'd expect Zac Ervin to follow him from Wofford to Virginia Tech signees, as well

Mike Young adds his first Virginia Tech hoops commit

To all the Hokiehaven family!

For those who may not be aware, we have a championship caliber softball team this year. Current record is a gaudy 39-6 overall and 16-2 in ACC. This team is a virtual lock for the NCAA tourney and strong candidate to host one of the NCAA opening rounds. Without a doubt, this is the best team since the Angela Tincher era. Certainly worth following as they head down the season's stretch run!

Hunter Cattoor a point guard out of Orlando has pledged to the Hokies after de-committing last week from Wofford. The article I saw this is in did not give his height/weight but did indicate he averaged 14 points, 6 boards, and 4 assists last season. He was "unranked" by this particular site, but I think I had read elsewhere that he was a Rivals 3 star. I'm sure Tim will have the full details later today.

I don't see this one happening, but the staff will certainly keep the lines of communication open

Rivals Camp Series D.C.: Commitment checkup

6-4 shooting guard from Brown, in the transfer portal, considering Stanford, Vanderbilt, and VT. Was Ivy League Rookie of the Year in 2017-2018. Averaged 15.7 ppg this past season.

Per our Corey Evans, the former four-star recruit will stick it out in Blacksburg:

Especially given all the other roster turmoil, it can’t be overstated how huge this is.

It's pretty much over now guys...Calipari has entered the KJ sweepstakes!

You think with Texas A&M losing their AD, is there a chance that they will pursue whit B.

I wonder if Sy might consider coming back now Williams is gone. Supposedly he is among the intriguing prospects on the the juco circuit and is a big we sorely need.

Visiting Indiana Friday and Saturday. Visiting UNC Monday and Tuesday.

Still working through the 2019 signees.

From the film room: J.R. Walker

Watching his film for the first time since at least Signing Day, I like him even more as a prospect than I remember doing previously. He could be a star.

He's a little more under-the-radar than Frazier, but certainly Cincinnati has been successful with him on the staff:

Who is Antwon Jackson?

With a bit of football mixed in at the end
