Good tools, but raw, raw, raw.

From the film room: Jaden Payoute

He picked the right program to develop for the long run, but it really surprises me that anyone sees something more than a three-star prospect there (and not the type of three-star with a limited ceiling, but rather the kind who may perform like a four- or five-star... for just the last year or two of his college career). Maybe a low-three is overly conservative, of course.

Hokies need to knock of Notre Dame to make much of this relevant (outside of the ACC and Coastal Division-related jockeying), but if they do... could be some major upward mobility this week.

I will have a full updated list for both sports up later today:

Evans Seven: Key weekend official visits

Y'all have the best game of the weekend in the ACC...I'm seriously wanting to attend a game at Lane Stadium. Would a person be able to drive up and get a ticket outside the stadium? I'm 2.5 hours to Blacksburg from my home in TriCities, TN so I might gamble and make the drive. Just more or less chaffing at the bit....

Either way, Go Hokies!!!!

Didn't get around to this one with the craziness of the past couple weeks. Here it is:

Class impact: Aaron Willis to VT

All sorts of stuff going on for Frank this weekend, with VT unveiling a memorial, as well:

National Football Foundation to honor Beamer Saturday

Michael Carmody's older brother Robby will play hoops at Notre Dame, but Michael will be on the opposite team's sideline this weekend:

Michael Carmody ready to check out Virginia Tech

I've confirmed a couple other key additions to the visitor's list, as well: LaMareon James, Aidan Ryan, Blake Corum, Aaron Willis, Katron Evans. Will have them on the updated list tomorrow.

Hey all,

Making our first trip to Blacksburg for the game Saturday! Pretty excited. Just wanted to ask a simple question about tailgate parking.

I bought 2 parking passes for Media Building Lot 19. Looked like a good location for my brother and I to set up our tailgate.

I see online that parking lots open at 7am for gamedays. Does that time change considering it’s a night game?

My main question is this. With an 8pm kickoff, what time should we arrive to be able to park our cars side by side in Lot 19?

We know we have 2 reserved spots, but it would be ideal to be next to each other. For an 8pm game, there’s no way we want to get there at 7am!!! That’s a very long day with 5 young kids! We were thinking about maybe 10-11am?

Just wanted the advice of fans with experience! Thanks!!!

Plenty of talk about Anthony Harris, as well as the recruiting visitors this weekend:

(Of course, you’ve probably already noticed). Just got off the road from an overnight drive, and getting ready to whip plenty of stuff up.

A couple hugely productive weeks mixed in there:

Hokie Haven Friday night lights 2018: Week seven

He never publicized a Duke offer, but I have an uneasy feeling nonetheless:

Anthony Harris to make commitment today

If he picks someone other than VT, we officially his that "panic" moment everyone's been asking about.

Story: Recruitment already underway for 2021 DB Isaiah Johnson

I actually got a little behind on new offer posts, so expect a couple more this evening or tomorrow morning:

New Virginia Tech football offer: Jerrin Thompson

With some love for the Hokies:
