Not a ton of underclassmen of note (there should be some non-prospects that filter in, as there always are), but that gives the coaches a really good chance to concentrate on their top targets.

I dont know about you guys but I didn’t care for him calling our game yesterday.

This one has trap game spelled all over it. Granted, UNC is banged up and has a lot of players out but Fedora will do what he can to rally his troops to dig down and play hard for pride if nothing else.
Tech always seems to find a way to lose a game where they are big favorites to win. Look what happened at Syracuse last year. Hope I'm wrong but watch out..

Per our Corey Evans:

Second class of 2018 hoops commit, and VT's top PG target after missing out on David Duke.

Hang out here, we'll be chatting all game.

Couple notable points from pregame: Cam Phillips is warming up, so if he feels good at the end of the warmup, expect to see him in the game this afternoon.

Let's talk, y'all. Drop any Q&A questions or discussion points you want to to touch (football, recruiting, basketball, off-topic: anything goes) and we'll be around to talk all day.

Visited for the Clemson game, and had a great time:

I like his film a lot early in his career; he could be one to keep an eye on for a long time.

I put my score prediction in there. What's yours?

Not a ton of newsy bits in here, but still some interesting stuff:

Drake DeIuliis questionable (leg injury - wouldn't surprise me if thi was to try to con their way into a medical redshirt, but they already ruined that by playing him in the sixth game of the year for no damn reason)

CJ Carroll and DeShawn McClease both doubtful (Carroll still with the foot injury, McClease with an undisclosed illness). Both would be minor blows - McClease has had mediocre results when he's actually gotten on the field, while there are enough bodies at WR with Cam Phillips apparently healthy that Carroll would be nice, but is not crucial.

Buyer just backed out of sale so I'm offering here.
Section 5, Row CCC, Seats 6 and 8.
Normally sell at face but due to late posting will consider an offer. I live in Blacksburg so exchange can be made on Saturday.

Another kid who doesn't have a ton of offers yet (though VT is on the board), and if he remains a top target way own the line, the Hokies are establishing themselves in a really solid position for him:

This staff is being very aggressive with early offers, especially for in-state/DMV/Carolina kids. That should help them close early on some of them in future classes, and set themselves up to spend more energy going after national elites. It's similar (but probably to a greater degree) to how we've seen the 2018 class play out.

Story: Major 2019 LB has strong relationships with five schools

2019 LB Drake Thomas doesn't give much away when he talks about his recruitment but did mention that he has very strong relationships with N.C. State, North Carolina, Virginia Tech, Clemson, and Michigan. Look for Thomas to take a lot of visits before making any key decisions. More info in the article above.

I really feel like this is a VT/UNC battle at this point (even though the Hokies were in the door relatively late):

https://virginiatech.rivals.com/news/tenuta-enjoys-vt-visit-plans-to-return

He plans to see West Virginia again - I believe this weekend, actually, though I'm not positive and he wasn't sure when I conducted this interview - which could make the Mountaineers a serious contender, but with multiple visits to VT likely, the Hokies could wrap this one up.

I really like his potential as an offensive lineman.

A deserved honor for a dude who's booting the hell out of his punts so far this year.

Local running back from Blacksburg High.
