The typical Wednesday audio goodness (well, Thursday for the purposes of posting on our site).

A Miami kid already committed to the Canes... I think it would take a lot to change his destination:

No mention of anything beyond tomorrow and Friday, but I would assume the role continues if the chemistry is good.

Both from Charlotte Providence Day:

Porter Rooks

Jacolbe Cowan

thought it might be addressed yesterday:
Have we added more support staff?
All I've seen is 1 offensive quality control coach added:
Certainly hope there was many more:
IMO we need minimum:
6 total quality control coaches (2-O 2-D 2-ST)
And atleast 3 more recruiting coaches:
This is bare minimum an for a place like VT, should have been done years ago.

Sorry for the delay on this, it was supposed to go up (along with a preview of the top spring storylines - coming up this morning, as well) yesterday afternoon, but our publishing tools were down, presumably thanks to the same problem that killed the forums in the early morning yesterday.

Anyway:

The offense this week:

A teammate of 2017 signee Jaylen Griffin:

A few interesting pieces in there, nothing Earth-shattering, really.

...including the guys that have yet to enroll:

We all know there will be a QB competition. Nothing new there. Don't know what to think of Steven Peoples permanent move to RB. Surprised to hear Tyrell Smith will open the spring at right tackle. Glad to know Braxton Pfaff will open the spring at right guard. That's about all the info on the offense.

The defense? Terrell Edmunds to free safety. All signs point to Devon Hunter to rover? Divine Deable to free safety. Great size and athleticism. And now the unhappy part for me. Emmanuel Belmar to DE. Raymon Minor to DE. Very undersized. Jimmie Taylor to DT. Darius Fulwood back to DT. Very very very undersized. Xavier Burke to the D-line. Not sure where but probably DT. Never played there in college. Very concerning to me.

2018 commit Nasir Peoples (VT would do well to lock him up and hopefully shut down his interest in other schools) along with teammate Kyle Pitts and Philly St. Joe's WR Darryle Simmons:

will he a tough pull, but you can't get a hit if you don't swing, I guess

May 1. Hokies are in this one, though Clemson is the current leader:

Lucus States, "Brey needs to stop it with the drug use."

At first glance, I was sure this will as out of context, so I opened up the article. My heavens, it was certainly not out of context. Brey even doubled down when challenged on it. He restated, "I think he's better. He shoots it better."

I now have the three dummies of this year in the ACC coaching ranks with 3 recent and flat out stupid statements by Roy Dummiams, Jim Dumbhind, and Mike Dumbbrey.

Silent Assassin.

Reminds me of The Rock Flowers.

A top 2018 target (and could get the ball rolling if he were to commit):

Despite first-round disappointment, this is just the tip of the iceberg for Buzz Williams and the Hokies:

https://virginiatech.rivals.com/news/allen-and-leday-will-move-on-but-hokies-will-improve

IMO, probably tough to pull him from Nebraska or at least Big 10/12 territory.

Of course, the fact that he has an offer from the Hoos and not the yet Hokies plays no role here:

I keep seeing prospects visiting all these schools but haven't seen anyone visit VT in weeks, unless it's just kept a secret.
Just a tad worried.
Also do we have another junior day lined up?
