I saw a Baltimore Sun article that Mike Jones has taken a job at University of Maryland.

2025 S/Ath Jaimier Scott out of Cincinnati:

Scott impressed with Hokies after visit

Great win tonight!! On to Elite 8!! Let's win the whole thing!!!

Recruiting rumor mill: Another busy weekend in the books

Apologies, never hit the publish button on this one Thursday, and had kids home sick from school yesterday so didn't realize it. Visits were Thursday-Friday this week (some stragglers may come through today), so mostly these are finished:

VT Visitors: March 30-April 1, 2023

Tim, my apologies upfront for the following reference to a competitor’s site, but I have to say this.

if anyone follows the Hokies baseball team, I would encourage you to go to the UVA site on 24/7 Sports and go their Board page. Read the posts on yesterday and today’s losses to the Hokies. It is the most pathetic display from a bunch or whiners I have read In awhile. They find every excuse to rationalize why they lost and continually belittle everything associated with Tech. The most comical thing was how bush league our ballpark is. The Hokies hit 4 homers and 4 triples today, UVA hit no homers and no triples. But they kept referring to our home runs as pop ups in other ballparks. while not realizing they couldn’t hit one out.

it is fun reading, if you have time.

Once again Tim, my apologies.

With some video, as well:

Hokies in the top five for Jaeden Mustaf (plus scouting video!)

The 2024 OL is staying home:

The Hokies would have taken a commitment from him (and to an extent, still wanted him), but the relationship was primarily with Joe Rudolph, so his departure meant that it wasn't a priority. I think it's... not the biggest miss, even if the staff would've liked to have him.

2025 WR from Atlanta:


I would bet that an offer and visit happen this offseason (maybe not in that order!)

Obviously we've been talking about it for a few days, now official:

Tyler Nickel will transfer to VT

I know I've shared this information in here before, but now official/public:

Hokies officially announce camp dates this Summer

Make sure the coaches/players/etc. in your life know when the camps are.!

From @Ryan Wright:

RCS Miami: Five programs that should be pleased

Old Dominion PF/SF Mekhi Long:

Report: ODU transfer Mekhi Long commits to Virginia Tech

Belfort did the Hokies proud on Sunday.

Plenty of room for additions from the Portal, even if one or both of Basile/Cattoor returns:

A look to the hoops future

Typical SEC comment by SC’s coach chanting SEC, SEC and then pulling for LSU and an all SEC Nat’l Championship game. She has to beat IOWA first and I think she doesn’t want to play us. GO HOKIES!

I'll be honest, I was practically blown away by how good it was in comparison to his underclassman film. You don't realize how much a guy has improved until you watch the whole reel. I'd put him as a 5.7 three-star if I were the rankings man.

Senior film review: Gabriel Arena

A good find by the staff, and a really good player in the future, IMO.

Would anyone like to discuss Hokies basketball? The women are ranked 9th and are undefeated. The men are not ranked and are 7-1. Play 18th ranked UNC on Sunday. Both solid teams. Not sure why no one posts anything.

The Heels weren’t as bad as missing the tournament implied, but hoo boy is this about as big a blow as you can get:

2024 OL from Southwest Ohio:

Wheelock has a final three, will decide this weekend

I don't have a FutureCast in, in part because there's plenty to sell about each program. My suspicion (I have not confirmed with Hokie sources) is that the strength of his VT relationship took a big hit with Rudolph's departure, and he'll pick one of the other two, but there's a almost whole week to dig in and touch base with folks.

It's wild how much of the over-commitment of scholarships has resolved itself without losing anyone that VT will really miss (aside from Keshawn King) since Signing Day. Essentially if you'd said "who would I not miss to get down to 85?," pretty much only guys from that list (again, aside from King) have been the departures:
