It would appear so:

Clipper has Vols high on his list after official visit

It'll be interesting to see how the staff manages that Alpharetta (Ga.) Milton pipeline. After they moved hard on Matthew Hoffman, that took Jack Nickel off the board, and now that they've filled the OL room a little bit, I don't know if they'd have room for both Clipper and Gilles Tchio (along with, hopefully, Gunner Givens in the fold before either of them). Clipper was going to be a hard land without more of that pipeline materializing - and was always the most-coveted by the staff to join his teammate, Devin Farrell in the class.

When he didn’t commit shortly after his official visit, it was always going to be difficult to remain on top for the 2022 WR:

Don't like it, but on the bright side: players leave that are usually passed on the depth chart and it frees up scholarships for new talent young that can start or want to compete.

Watching this game from 2002. As they show the starters, only a very very few out of state players. Most are Hampton, Williamsburg, and Richmond, Ranked #4 with Bryan Randle at the helm. Miss those days. The swagger we had, we knew we were bad ass. Nowadays….. eh.

looking to purchase a parking pass to UNC if anyone is selling one

Hokies’ class rises to No. 23 nationally:

Two pick up three-star rankings, VT class now No. 23 nationally

Obviously some of that ranking is because of volume - Navy is the only team ranked behind VT with more commits - but this feels much more like a class of a few years ago with legit sleepers to be excited about than the last couple where some of those sleepers felt like just getting bodies in the door.

I like this film. There are areas of his game to work on before and once he arrives in Blacksburg, but Law's potential is pretty solid:

Justin Taylor set for a weekend commitment

I have a FutureCast pick in for Syracuse, but there’s some faint optimism in Blacksburg that they’re toward the top of the pack, so it may not be a done sale.

Playing a little catch-up with the film breakdowns, with the big month of June meaning there are a lot of these to come:

Ven-Allen Lubin is a mobile, fairly strong, athletic combo forward with has inside/outside ability. He can play and defend mulltiple positions. He is also a high academic kid.

Obviously the Hokies were not in the hunt by the end, but still worth noting where he's headed:
