well after a almost 10yr run

On here I really have been on here over 10 closer till around 11 yrs.I have decided that its time for a change. I want to thank jason for all that he has done and also the ones before him Mark kimme and brian Mohr and everyone eles.I have enjoyed all that I have read and learned from this board in the time I have been here .l have been back and forth with this choice for a while and its not a easy one to make after being here for so long. For me personally I thinks I was just wanting to try something new its nothing that was done or said here at the end of the day i just thought I would try another route and liked the road that I am on for the moment. Not saying I would never be back cause for me rivals is what and has kept me updated with vt football and is what got me started in keeping up with recruiting. Just wanted to say thanks to all the people that have shared all the info over the years and it was and has been fun for me even when we may have not always agreed on things.thanks to all

***INsider: Dylan Rivers Latest***

Guys, I know I already posted that he was visiting on Monday for the Ohio State game, but I spoke more at length with Sherando (Va.) 2017 three-star linebacker Dylan Rivers. And honestly, this is a kid who I think will take more visits, but who I would not be surprised to see commit on Monday. He's a candidate at least, anyway.

Rivers said the two schools recruiting him hardest are VT and Penn State. He likes the coaches, but what seems to have also jumped out to him is that the Nittany Lions sent him 100 letters on the same day on Sept. 1, the first day schools could contact 2017 recruits.

With the Hokies, Rivers said he really likes Bud Foster. Rivers visited the Hokies for their junior day in late June and also already plans to visit for the Pittsburgh game next month. He also wants to visit Clemson, Pitt, Maryland and NC State. Definitely one to watch for sure.

Medical Observers At Games

Interesting press release from the ACC about an addition to the medical teams of each school in the conference:

When Atlantic Coast Conference teams kick off their football seasons later this week, additional sets of safety-conscious eyes will watch intently from on high.

As announced by Commissioner John Swofford at the ACC Kickoff on July 20, the 2015 season will include assigned medical observers from each team at every game. Each observer will occupy a specified location in the press box to monitor any visual indicators of potential injury to a student-athlete from his or her team.

Medical observers will have communication access to their teams’ medical staffs on the sidelines. Upon a medical observer’s notification of a visual indicator of an injury, that sideline personnel shall act upon that information in accordance with their institution’s athletics medical plan.

“The team-specific medical observer will have the benefit of knowing the medical history of the players,” Swofford noted. “Each game that we play, there will be two people in the booth – one from each school – that will have the sole purpose of observing what’s taking place on the field that somebody on the sidelines might not be able to see.”

The ACC initiative was unanimously approved by the conference’s athletic directors. In recent years, ACC member schools have taken the lead in concussion research and other player safety points of concern.

“In the areas of health and safety, I can’t say enough about our institutions,” Swofford said. “As a league, and personally as a former player, we are supportive and an advocate for making the game of football as safe as it can possibly be.”

Post-practice interviews: Offensive updates

Hey guys! I went to post-practice interviews and learned a couple of new things that I wanted to update y'all on:

- For starters, after talking with Shane Beamer it looks like the Hokies will NOT redshirt tailback Shai McKenzie.
- It looks like J.C. will be the definitive starter at tailback for the Hokies.
- Defensive tackle Corey Marshall, who did not come to the defensive interviews yesterday, is all set to go after his left ankle injury flared up last week.
- After questioning offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler about the status of tight end Kalvin Cline he said they would "know more later in the week." Offensive lineman Wade Hansen on the other hand mentioned that Cline was good to go and even had a one-handed catch in today's practice.

There will be more to come in tomorrow's article, but the Hokies seem prepared and ready to take on Ohio State. Thoughts?

Jovani Haskins Sets Official

Guys, he just tweeted this out a little while ago, but Bergenfield (NJ) four-star TE Jovani Haskins will be officially visiting VT this weekend and staying for the game. HUGE news for the Hokies as he's one of the top four targets on the board and along with Landon Dickerson, arguably the next important commitment to get. Haskins is ranked as the No. 8 TE in the country for 2016.
