Friday Night Lights won't be until tomorrow, because a few games in North Carolina were delayed until this evening due to weather. That's two out of three weeks now, but under normal circumstances, it'll be Mondays.

Getting a win, having the "easy fix" things exposed... can't ask for much more:

Five-star guard Ashton Hagans, who will transfer to Oak Hill this Fall:

No "recruiting visitors" per se, since it's a neutral-site game, but Jordan Houston will take in the WVU rivalry in person nonetheless:

VT is a heavy favorite early in the process here.

I'll have something a little more thought-out in the morning.

Including my prediction:

Give me yours.

What have you got?

https://virginiatech.rivals.com/news/hokie-football-preview-2017-predictions

With a few departures before and during camp, and a couple position switches (both minor and major), it's important to reset things before the season begins. Here's the latest:

https://virginiatech.rivals.com/news/updated-vt-scholarship-chart-and-2018-needs-august-2018

Still plenty of attrition needed to get to the expected 25 signees, and there are already 20 kids in the class if you assume Darrisaw follows through on his VT commitment after others have a year to evaluate him at Fork Union.

I would break down the likely distribution of future commits as:
1 TE
1 OL
1 DE
1 LB
1 CB

With any wiggle-room or attrition from the current class leaving potential for RB/slot (namely Cole Beck), another OL, or another LB.

Talk about a chip on the shoulder:

Direct all complaints to @MFarrell

Virginia Tech versus WVU: who's expected to have a larger crowd at the game? Virginia Tech versus WV

Not only is the dead period over, but Sept. 1 marks when the coaches can directly gt in touch with Class of 2019 players:

Does this game not count if UNC loses to Cal?

If y'all could do me a huge favor, and if you enjoy the site, please share this with your Hokie-fanatic friends. I'm running a pretty good deal right now to encourage more members to sign up. Facebook, e-mail, Twitter, whatever you can do to help out.

I love the community that we have around here (even if there's never been a basketball player tall enough to keep @Mr Hokie To You happy ), and would be thrilled to have even more people to come and chat with us every day.

He's the type of player VT isn't in position to put a ton of resources into at this point (because they have far more pressing needs than DT), but would still love to get that last visit from:

Story: WATCH: 2019 No. 1 RB Devyn Ford breaks down his top contenders heading into his junior season

Ford is planning on visiting North Carolina for the Louisville game on September 9th and Ohio State for their game against Penn State on October 28th. Ford is going to try to go watch the Virginia Tech against West Virginia at FedEx Field in Maryland. Visits to Penn State and Clemson are still in the works.

I know this is something near and dear to the hearts of a few on here:

"Game-changer" might be a little strong, but it's certainly a huge boost nonetheless.

It's generally "root for ACC teams to not lose to FCS competition" (except UVa, because that's a pretty tall task for them), but there are a couple interesting games of note:
