The 757 prospect held a VT offer at one point, but was no longer seriously on the staff's radar.

I know some on this board have been a little wary of what seems like a much, much greater number of offers going out under Fuente's staff than previously. Would you believe that VT is still comfortably below average among Power-5 programs in number of 2018 offers issued?

Obviously these aren't going to be the final numbers, but still an interesting comparison here.

Absolutely nothing to worry about here in my opinion, but it's worth keeping an eye on:

Our USC publisher gets a little overheated at times when it comes to playing up other schools' commits and their interest in the Trojans.

Coaches making the most of the evaluation periods over the Summer:

Sorry I'm a little late on this one, was focused on other stories.

A 6'2" 175 lb CB so fast he can run with anyone.

Welcome to DBU!

With another DB commitment is VT still going to take Gervin? Or move Waller over to WR or some other position so we can still get Gervin? Thoughts @TimSullivan?

Not a wide net at this point:

Coaches probably need to continue looking for offensive linemen, even if the eventual signees end up coming from the players listed here (best case scenario: Rasheed Walker and TJ Bradley, though I don't think either ends up at VT at this point - with time for the coaches to change that).

Going to be a good one, even if he's a little undersized:

Looking to visit Blacksburg for first time this fall. Trying to decipher seating in Lane. Looking at upper level seats behind visiting rows all start with a 4 or a 5 and then a letter. Would rows go 4A thru 4Z and then 5A and up or do I have it wrong?

Thanks!

Thanks

I recently had a chance to catch up with 3-star Cordova, Tenn. RB Jeremy Banks to talk recruiting as well as his recent visit to Virginia Tech. Banks says he's going to commit soon, but I don't know if they have a spot for him right now so it will be interesting to see how this plays out as the Hokies have been one of his favorites for a while.

Here's what he had to say about the Hokies:

In His Words: "My visit to Virginia Tech was great. It was a great atmosphere, great coaches, nice facilities. It went pretty good. I brought my family with me on the trip and they were really impressed with it, too."

On the camp experience: "It was good. Their running backs coach is pretty laid back but it was good to get on the field with him and see how he coaches."

On his place on Virginia Tech's board: "We've talked about that. We've talked about everything. I will be making my decision very soon but it’s a tough choice, but I will be making my commitment very soon. It might be Virginia Tech or it might be somewhere else."

You can read the rest of the story and see some recent clips of him in action here.

Going to be a little time before he's ready to play (depending on how he develops this year, of course), but I think there's some potential there:

RAYMOND, Miss. – The annual Varsity Preps Elite Camp took place Saturday at Hinds Community College in Mississippi with some of the best talent from the Magnolia State being joined by prospects from Louisiana, Tennessee and Alabama. Rivals.com was on hand for the event and runs down the five biggest takeaways.

Banks' stock still on the rise

One of the players whose camp showings this spring really jump-started his recruitment was 2018 Cordova, Tenn. athlete Jeremy Banks. After earning an invitation to the Rivals 3 Stripe Camp in New Orleans by impressing at the Rivals NewSpeed Combine, Banks has been a camp warrior and seen his offer list grow from zero to more than 20. After winning MVP honors at the event, it’s possible even more schools will join Banks' list, but for now he appears to be focused on a trio of Virginia Tech, Wyoming and Utah. Banks said he and his entire family are making the trip to Blacksburg later this month, and he could be on commit watch depending on how things go.
