I am seeing major offers for these 2 Southwest Va kids by other schools, but not Virginia Tech. Does anyone have info on these 2 kids? I have many close friends still in the Blacksburg area, and they tell me the Cook kid is a WR/DB type from Tazewell County, VA, that has offers from WV, UVA, and now Florida, but not yet from VT? What's the deal? Can the kid play or not? Why would Florida come to Southwestern Va and offer before VT?
Finally, a kid named McClung is supposed to be all world at Gate City in Hoops and has big time offers to include scoring around 60 points in a playoff game and apparently, doing well on an elite AAU team. Why has Tech not offered? His father played football at VT according to one of my colleagues, and one says he in fact, did not play at VT in football. Anyone know of these 2 athletes and what is the deal? Can they play? Can they not play? Is it a case of far Southwestern Va getting missed again in recruiting, or is it a case of VT simply not feeling they can play at VT or at the D1 level? According to my sources, they have major Div 1 offers and this is a bit rare for kids in far Southwestern VA to have offers at the major Div 1 level and Virginia Tech not being one of them.
P.S. This is the first time in Virginia Tech football history that we have 2 WR four star commits. We have had classes where we have athletes at 4 star or for example, 1 4 star WR and 1 athlete that we later move to WR, but this is the first class in our history in which we have 2 players that are legitimate 4 star players that are recruited as wide receivers and the plan is for them to play WR at Tech. It's not the case of the ole "Stiney and Beamer shuffle" where we recruit a TE and tell everyone how we got an All American QB, or an athlete and tell everyone how good of a WR he is, or a DE, and move him to OL, etc. I think you get the point. We have 2 legitimate High School All-American potential-type wide receivers coming to Blacksburg which is the first time in school history for 1 recruiting class.
