With a look at the huge year Cam Phillips is already putting together - but a skeptical eye toward a tendency to over-rely on him:

Story: Top commit fits for Mid-Atlantic prospects

The 2018 wing will visit for the Clemson football game instead of UNC, as originally planned:

An in-state center:

Where was it today ?

The longer it goes (for now, at least), the better it is for non-NC State competitors, so this is good news for the time being:

Was sort of what we thought would be the case, but semi-official confirmation (with a few days for it to change).

He'll be in Blacksburg this weekend (well, he lives in Blacksburg, but you know what I mean):

Slowly but surely climbing.

A few teams ahead of the Hokies have some reasonable competition - if at least a couple of Florida State (NC State), USC (surprisingly undefeated Cal), Oklahoma State (No. 14 TCU), Georgia (No. 17 Mississippi State) or Washington (Colorado) lose, the Clemson game could be a top-ten matchup.

There's not a way on this planet those statlines are remotely comparable (especially since ESPN touts making plays when the game is in reach - i.e. not 50-17 like it was when Bush entered the game).

I've seen people point to QBR lately and say "this is stupid, it means advanced stats don't mean anything." That's the wrong take; the correct one is that ESPN is stupid, which has been apparent for a couple decades.

Coming to the Clemson game. Needed information on where to park. Anything will be appreciated. Looking forward to the trip - have heard great things about the atmosphere. Thanks in advance.

Caleb Steward's game ended up getting pushed back a couple weeks:

Added a transactions section because, well, unfortunately that's a pretty significant piece of former VT players trying to make a go of it in The League:

Congratulations players and coaches on an impressive victory. Good team win. Throw in the records being set and it appears all is well right now. As a long time Hokie, I was impressed with the 3rd quarter scoring and defense after the 1st quarter. Keep it up. The next real test will be against Clemson. Keep us proud!

This offense would be pretty filthy...

Mixing up the order each week to keep it fresh. I hadn't realized (I think I was too busy with my head in the computer posting here when the flag came out live - which was like 10 seconds after the play - and then ran to the bathroom during the review or something) that the targeting call on Stroman in the first quarter was so bad.

I complain about really bad targeting calls every week, but that was so bad the official should be reprimanded, no questions asked. The rule is written such that 1) intent matters, and 2) helmet-to-helmet contact is a key (though not a strict requirement) to making the call. A receiver dove onto Stroman's back - landed on his butt, even, like 3 feet away from Stroman's helmet! - and Stroman was called for targeting. It meets literally zero of the requirements for the call.

He was called for a penalty that would have seen him ejected from the contest because a player jumped on top of him as he was trying to make an interception.

And yes, it is weird that I fell like I have to specify "not the KKK guy" when referring to a basketball recruit.

On ABC. No surprise there, setting up for a Gameday visit.
