Class of 2019 kid, so plenty of time to play out in this one...

Don't know if anyone noticed but Joe Kane was bumped up from a 5.4 to a 5.5

Which is I think fair.

VT makes the cut, but likely one of the lower teams on the list. He's still planning to visit this Summer, which would obviously be an opportunity to really contend.

Plenty of Hokies:

...at Columbia Ben Lippen School (a little awkward, since Thompson is transferring back out of the school for next Fall). Sounds like all went well based on what those close to the VT commit have said. The Hokies will still have to battle to hold onto him, but are in solid position to do so.

Announcing tomorrow. Hearing us or UCLA. Any insiders?

Washington DC
Atlanta
Jacksonville
NJ
757
Richmond

Love the Jacksonville one and getting into D.C. Is a good move.
Would like to see one in western PA and one near IMG sooo many elite athletes there and Tampa isn't too too far.

Side note: unless it's a typo NJ and Jacksonville are on same day/time- seems very unintelligent if not.

Here's a bit of a preview:

Coaching staffs haven't been informed of his decision yet - and all of them remain hopeful if a little nervous. I know there's been a groundswell of opinion for a particular (non-VT) competitor in this race, but from a coaching staff perspective, they are just as in the dark as anybody. No turndowns or silent commits prior to the 11 a.m. choice.

...and that should ultimately work to the Hokies' benefit:

Let's paint a picture that isn't too stupid....

Turner commits soon hopefully. I believe this is to really try to recruit for VT.

He is a huge get.

Patterson is an elite 11 QB and is going to blow up into one of the too qb propsects jn the country by the end of his senior year.

Ellis will be a 4⭐️ Athlete.

Patterson is huge cause he is a national recruit who we tabbed early. Rest assured he will blow up.

Turner is huge because he is a gem in carolina. Can't help but think he goes hard after Hollifield and Henry Among others.

We get those Carolina guys in here on September 30 against Clemson and who knows what could happen.

I like the strategy to really press Carolina hard. Similar to what Clemson has done in Georgia-- it is a relatively unmined hot bed that we are trying to establish a firm footprint.

If we can secure Turner Hollifield and Henry, this class could be absolutely phenomenal.

Heard delay was:

Tisdale
Turner
Crossen

All wanted to announce together and are waiting for some type of video to be produced?

Any news on this?

I know it's only end of may but with evaluation period almost over, thought it be a good time.
1- overall, how do you think we're doing recruiting wise.
2- what do you like/and not like
3- coaches recruiting - whose doing well( Mitchell seems to be doing better? Vice not so much?) would you like to see any changes- responsibility/territory wise.

Thanks as always! Always appreciated

High school teammate of Lecitus Smith, but would be a little surprised if VT really pursued hard enough to land him at this point:
