Stay tuned for a full visitors list as I build it.

Including one on Dax Hollifield:

I see him more likely to stay in the Midwest, but we've seen the success this staff has had pulling kids from untraditional areas (and recruiting really good preferred walk-ons on special teams:

Pete Carrol said Kam likely would not play football again due to neck injury. Is this old news? Crushing blow if so.

Not a whole lot of different spots that have to be filled:

Bruce Arians will retire, and most former VT players saw the 2017 season come to an end this weekend:

Tim,
Just wondering if you have a list of VT commits/ signees that are playing in all of these all-star games?

Would have posted it at midnight, but I was in bed by 10:30

let's ride ty. Hopefully he makes some $ out of this

Plenty of players to take a quick look at, and news bits to peruse:

It felt a lot worse than a 12-point loss (and if VT had hit the open shots that were available, they would have had a chance to win it, but that's basketball), but at the end of the day, you take the L and move on:

I don't hate this matchup for the Hokies one bit. If they play well, it's almost a should-win rather than a could-win.

Honestly tonight has been very disappointing night and not because of the game because of a lot of our fans. So there is a lot to like from the game I watched tonight, sure there are a few plays the Hokies would love to have back but I for one am proud of the fight and resilience of our team. From a coaching stand point I thought it was a great plan that was executed good at times. I did think we should have put more pressure on Mason however to the point. The point is I have been truly proud to be a true Hokie fan over the past 15-20 years, though the ups and downs. Having traveled all around the world with the military I have always ran into Hokie faithful at one time or another and there was always a “Go Hokies” exchanged at the very least. Point is I have always been proud to be a Hokie but not tonight. This has nothing to do with the game but more so a lot of HokieNation acting like morons on social media. The nonsense on Twitter and Facebook is crazy just bashing Josh Jackson or the team in general. So disappointed in these actions we need to support our young athletes not bring them down. Jackson played his heart out tonight sure it wasn’t a perfect game or a perfect season but we won 9 games this year and have a good crop of kids coming back next year. The point to this rambling is support your team in good and bad HokieNation. #stayclassyhokienation

In case anyone is interested, VT plays Oklahoma State today in Orlando.

Wanted a chance to re-watch before writing:

I maintain that (like almost literally every game this year), Jackson is getting way more grief than he deserves. This is a really good player (and freshman!) that way too many Hokie fans insist on not appreciating.

After a disappointing end to the football season, I'd like nothing better than a "bad taste cleansing" road win tonight in Syracuse to open ACC play. The 'Cuse looks beatable this year after watching a few of their non conference games. They have size on the inside ( as usual ) but don't shoot the ball very well from outside. Hopefully they don't pull a "Kentucky" and have a rare hot shooting night against us. If we minimize turnovers and have a decent shooting night ourselves, we should be able to steal an ACC road win.

Hounds of Hell be rollin, Hounds of Hell be rollin, let those young dude's agreements keep on flowin.
Need an all day WR, need an all DAY RB, an sum all day hell hounds up front. At the other side, we juz need all hell hounds and the Birds will be strapped nex year. Man 4 Man, we will leave no doubt to pontificate!

You guys have a damn good basketball team this year who gave us all we could handle in Rupp. Buzz Williams is a highly underrated coach and his teams fight like crazy and won't quit. VT will definitely be a factor in the ACC race and I can speak for the rest of the Big Blue Nation when I say we'll be cheering for you the rest of the season over the likes of Duke, North Carolina, and Louisville. Go get 'em Hokies!

Hey Tim,

Just wondering if any underclassmen have decided on whether or not they're leaving early yet? Or if there's any idea when they're gonna be making a decision. Sorry if I missed this is another post/article. Thanks.

Good afternoon, everyone. Just talked to OL Joshua Jefferson of St. John's College High in DC and he mentioned his interest in VT. He is still talking to the coaching staff, and while he does not yet have an offer, they have talked about a possible official visit. Just a name to watch as we head into January.

Jefferson says he is in regular contact with the VT coaches. No offer yet, but he says he feels they are close. This is a big stage for him this week going against bigger guys.

UMass is the only school he has visited officially and he had a great time there.

Word is Khalan Laborn might be leaving FSU! Any word on if we would get in the race or not?
