Detroit Cass Tech four-star CB Donovan Johnson takes his last official visit this upcoming weekend to Penn State and a decision is likely to come soon after. Breakdown of where this recruitment stands along with comments from Donovan in the link below.

I see that 4 coaches did not place VT in the Top 25:

Bret Bielema Arkansas
Tom Herman Houston
Chris Petersen Washington
Dan Mullen Miss. State

Herman must be mad that VT did not offer him a job last year. hope he 's a bust at Texas like Strong was. I liked him until he took Texas job.

Another sparse week, with tons of injuries in play:

A bit more of a big picture view than usual, and a quick look at Arkansas:

This one actually came through Saturday morning, but there were obviously more important things related to Hokie football going on that day:

We (Auburn) have really stumped our toe the last two years in recruiting by passing on Lamar Jackson now at Louisville and Jerod Evans.

Auburn had a shot early on with both - in fact probably led for both - and drug its' feet and lost both.

The Evans recruitment is particularly perplexing. Our QB - Sean White - is pretty good but he's small. He only goes about 190 although the program lists him at 200 and hasn't made it through a season yet and may have avascular necrosis which would end his career. Gus Malzahn seems to want to play everybody but Sean because he doesn't fit the Cam Newton/Nick Marshall DTQB mold (who does anyway???) and the guys behind him can't beat their way out of a wet paper bag.

Evans is a beast and with him at our helm there is no doubt (in my mind anyway) that we are a 10, maybe 11 win team this year with our defense.

Can somebody shed some light on how he wound up in Blacksburg? I'm having a debate on The Bunker at AuburnSports.com.

Three commits playing for state titles in Georgia this weekend... when is the last time you can remember VT having that?

Fuente puts it pretty fairly, I think: the future is bright, but that doesn't mean that the sting in the short-term is any less.

What are we hearing about ticket sales for the championship in Orlando? Do we expect the Hokies to have a big crowd?

Anybody know when our bowl game will be announced? Or heard any rumblings about what bowl game were likely to be playing in? I've been hearing Belk Bowl. That's ACC vs Big 12

They fought hard. Admit it, the talent difference is there. Our OLs could not hold on for Evans to finish even the first read, and our defense had no solution for their QB run. The effort is there. I'll still cheer for them and look forward to the bowl game.

Fuente is the real deal and great hire !! I know it 's tough loss but your fans are class all the way !!

Great game!! seriously great game and you guys are class all the way !

in Fuentes 1st year.....Tech will be scary good in the next couple of years....

Y'all need to take back the Tidewater in recruiting....Good luck and beat Clemson!!!

Let's get this started a little earlier than usual with a biiiiiiig game on tap for tonight.

He's probably more of a back-burner kid for VT right now while they await decisions from TyJuan Garbutt (which should end well for the Hokies) and Bobby Roundtree, among others:

We have a chance to do something great tonight. If we don't win, its alright. JF brought us back from the grave. Also to note, this sets the tone for the future of the program. #GoHokies #HokieHi

My prediction is in the story, what's yours?

https://virginiatech.rivals.com/news/virginia-tech-hokies-football-preview-clemson

Haha...neither one. They are both 9-3 on the season.

If fabulous seats important to you - 3 TKTS , Section 134 - 50 yard-line, Row J - paid $200/per. call or text 540-588-7283

If we bring our A-game and they make some mistakes we can beat them.

We need to start fast. We can't spot them 3 touchdowns and come back in the 2nd half.

All over the place this evening, despite a walkthrough in Ordlando earlier. CBs coach Brian Mitchell at Jacksonville (Fla.) Trinity - just as a visit, they don't have a game - and safeties coach Galen Scott is at Roswell (Ga.)'s game against Atlanta Westlake.

VT has 2018 commit Chamarri Conner and a number of targets at Trinity. 2017 commit Malik Willis is at Roswell, and a couple schools are trying to pull him away from the Hokies.

For those who haven't seen it on the front page yet, it's been up for a few hours. I'll be in the house (am already in the house) for the game tonight. Let's use this thread to talk about it:
