Virginia Tech's June of visits is over - with a key one slipping under the radar over a week ago. Perry (Ga.) 2022 wide receiver Daequan Wright took an official visit over the June 18 weekend with little fanfare.

He was at Georgia Tech this past weekend for an unofficial. But sources close to his recruitment indicate that he'd like to make a commitment very soon, and that Virginia Tech leads the way. All that may be standing between the unranked wideout and a Hokie pledge is talking things through with the staff to make sure prospect and program are on the same page (and of course, there's not necessarily a guarantee that they are).

Although he stands 6-4 and 222 pounds, he managed to slip under the radar when he was offered by the Orange and Maroon at the end of April, and his low profile continues to this day. However, with the commitment of another tall outside receiver no longer an option (with Caleb Douglas's commitment to Baylor), it's likely that the coaching staff increases its interest in the Peach State prospect and is willing to accept a commitment from him.

Folks on Wright's end of things indicate that he'd like to come off the board as soon as today, so this developing situation could find its conclusion very quickly. It's worth noting that he's serious enough about VT that I've submitted a FutureCast in the Hokies' favor even though a final decision has not been made about whether he's a take.

This is the program that brought Danijel Miletic to the US, as well:

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:
