I alluded to it in the INsider post after Sunday's camp, but I spoke with Rivals250 WR Kelvin Harmon after the camp. No VT offer, mostly because he didn't work out. And honestly, the way it looks, I don't see one coming. But there's interest obviously, or he wouldn't have driven down from New Jersey: http://rvls.co/1el7ARH

Guys, I alluded to it in the INsider, but here's my video on Jake Lawler after his VT offer: http://rvls.co/1MZmCb0

Guys, busy last couple of days for VT basketball. Yesterday, Markelle Fultz, No. 24 in the Rivals150, visited. Today, Simms visited, while George Wythe (Va.) 2017 guard Maliek White and Millwood (Va.) 2017 guard Jordan Cross also visited. The latter two did not receive offers. Below are the new offers:

Aamir Simms, forward, Blue Ridge (Va.), 2017
Royce Hamm, forward, Aldine Davis (TX), 2017, three stars
Daniel Gafford, center, El Dorado (Ark), 2017, three stars

I'm not as familiar with the other two, but I've seen Simms live a couple of times, including camp last year in Roanoke. I'll see him again this week at the ScoutsFocus camp, coinciding with the NBAPA Top 100 camp, both in Charlottesville.

After I spoke to 2017 OL Marcus Minor on Sunday after the VT camp, Adam Friedman caught up with him today for this video: http://t.co/obczVnLDoz

Bit of disappointing news, as three-star LB Tyrone Hopper text me and also tweeted that he's committed to UNC. had been one of the top guys on VT's board at LB:

Tyrone Hopper ‏@Hornet_33 8m8 minutes ago
I am very excited to announce that i will be in NC blue and playing at the University of North Carolina #TARHEELS

Without having a target board it's hard to tell who is still heavy on tech (I don't know if it's posted somewhere I'm not seeing?), but it seems recruiting is a little slow this year. We do have some numbers but it's nothing really to write home about. Not trying to be negative to commits we do have. I know we reached where we have been last few years because of the lack of talent and we had gap years. Is this class start and misses because we are a little young and have depth? As we have seen, things can change in a position in a heart beat.

Guys, this thing has played out for a while now. There were false reports last month that Lee CC (TX) forward Tyrone Outlaw had signed with VT. Now, it's finally true.

Since Malik Muller was announced today as transferring, that opened a spot for Outlaw, who has promptly signed his letter of intent, which we just confirmed a short while ago. Outlaw is a good pickup for the Hokies, a three-star forward who can play the three or the four. Needs work on his jumper, but a good overall player.

Plenty more coverage coming.

I'm not sure I'd go as far as to say this is a top five just yet for Imhotep Charter (Pa.) four-star OL Johncarlo Valentin. After all, he originally said he had a top 10 when I asked, but only named five. But this is the group to keep an eye on right now, VT, Michigan, Temple, South Carolina and Auburn: http://rvls.co/1cWfgrZ

Guys, I alluded to it yesterday in the INsider notes, but I spoke with Dematha (Md.) 2017 OL Marcus Minor after he received his offer from VT:

http://rvls.co/1cXdw1E

Guys, just a heads up, as first reported the other day by Scout's Evan Daniels, Dematha (Md.) four-star guard Markelle Fultz, No. 24 in the 2016 Rivals150, is visiting VT today. I'll see him Wednesday at the NBAPA Top 100 Camp at UVA, wo I'll get a full breakdown there of how the visit went.

Virginia Tech has offered 2017 OL Marcus Minor from DeMatha

See Auburn offered Lake Taylor's Carney ,so I viewed his tape& just like Adams as a fan little disappointed my squad didn't offer these 2 publishers.I don't know exactly what the staff looking for in a LIneman but sometimes I think we can over analyze.

VT has also offered Jake Lawler

VT has offered 2017 DB Jacobe Clement. He goes to the same school as Jake Lawler who got a VT offer yesterday

Guys, it would take longer time than I have to label each individual photo, but I posted all the photos I took from the weekend on our Facebook page.

Guys, at VT for a second straight day, for the Hokies' third camp of the weekend. I'll have tons more coverage coming, but while we're on a break for lunch, here's the latest.

*A couple of big-timers are on hand, but aren't participating in camp. Imhotep Charter (Pa.) four-star offensive lineman Johncarlo Valentin brought a few of his teammates, but has just been hanging out. This is his first trip to VT and Blacksburg and they'll be hanging out the rest of the day before heading back. So far, Valentin has been hanging out with most of the coaches and told me he's enjoying himself. Full video coming.

**The other big name, who's been keeping very low key is Palmyra (NJ) four-star WR Kelvin Harmon, No. 248 in the Rivals250. No VT offer, but he's definitely on the list. There's a chance he leaves with one in hand, but likely, the Hokies will wait to see what happens with some of the offers already out at receiver. But Harmon is definitely interested and it sounds like if an offer does come, VT would be in his top list.

***The big news of the morning is the ascension of Chancellor (Va.) 2017 DE Yetur Matos. He just got an offer in camp with Clemson yesterday and this morning, when Virginia found out he was camping at VT, the Hoos offered him. I'll be shocked if he leaves VT without an offer. This kid is blowing up and will likely have more offers over the next few weeks as he camps more. He's displayed impressive quickness in camp and has been exciting to watch.

****Hylton (Va.) three-star athlete Donovan Williams is in camp with the Hokies, despite committing to James Madison last month. He's been working out at QB, but I think is better suited for defensive back. He'll be one of those guys to watch for getting a late offer, as he's a great athlete, but I'll be shocked if VT offers this weekend or any time soon.

*****Another in the same boat as Williams is St Peter's (NJ) receiver KJ Gray. He already has a few decent offers, like Rutgers and Syracuse and told me he really wants a VT offer. But like Williams, he'll have to be one that would get offered late. No offer coming right now until some of the current offers sort themselves out. I like his size, speed and athleticism, though.

******The other kid to really watch is Dematha (Md.) 2017 OL Marcus Minor. He's gotten some extended looks from the coaching staff, who like his frame and his footwork for his age. Another kid who probably won't get an offer today, but this fall, don't be surprised to see VT and others make an offer.

TyJuan Garbutt just picked up an offer from VT

Another 2017 offer handed out at camp, to Chancellor (Va) DE Yetur Matos: http://sports.yahoo.com/virginiatech/football/recruiting/player-Yetur-Matos-168440

Not a huge surprise, as VT had fallen off a while ago, but Atlee (Va.) three-star JJ Givens committed to South Carolina yesterday: http://virginiatech.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1774649

Guys, lunch break at the Hokies' camp, but wanted to run over a few early notes. Interviews will take place at the end of the day, so I'll have a lot more tidbits in a bit.

*Not a lot of talent in attendance, but the one guy who is on hand is Forest Park (Va.) three-star WR Eric Kumah. He told me he's hanging out just to support a few of his teammates, who are in the camp. Kumah said he still plans to announce next Friday, June 19. That's been the day he's been pointing to for a while. I'll gather more when I interview him later, but he really seems at home today. He's been hanging out with all the VT players on hand, like CJ Reavis, Kendall Fuller, Isaiah Ford and Cam Phillips and seems to be having a great time. Kumah has also been walking around and taking everything with the camp in.

***The one offer hopeful to really keep an eye on is three-star receiver Corey Sutton. We've said here for a while that VT is the offer he's wanted most for months. And you can tell today that he wants a Hokie offer BAD. He's taken a ton of reps in one-on-ones and has made some good catches. Sutton is just a tweener. Good, but not sure he's good enough to get an offer, especially with all the other receiver offers VT has out. He ran a 4.57 40 yard dash this morning, so he's got the attention of VT, but they'll have to miss on a lot of guys for him to get an offer.

***Yahoo! Sports Radio's Sean Salisbury, who I saw in Baltimore for the Five-Star Challenge, was on hand. He's tutoring one of the QBs in action, St Thomas (TX) 2016 Michael Keating. Good arm, but not gonna get a VT offer, especially with Joshua Jackson's commit.

****I will say, keep an eye on Bolles (Fla.) 2017 quarterback Mac Jones. He already has a Kentucky offer and I've thought he looked poised all morning. Great arm and it seems like offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler has paid a bit more attention to him so far. I like Jones' poise, too. One worth watching as far as who might come out of this camp with an offer.

*****Last tidbit, another guy to keep an eye on is Chatfield (Colo.) 2017 tight end Dalton Keene. One reason is because he has two years left. Already has decent hands and a good frame. I'm not sure of the VT connection, since it's not often that a Colorado kid comes this direction, but I'll try to see what I can find. Keene doesn't have any offers and I'm not sure he'll get one today, but the Hokies have their eyes on him.

Heading back to camp now, but check back for more updates.

Guys, I alluded to it in the INsider post yesterday, but I caught up with three-star WR Eric Kumah after yesterday's camp. He's announcing in a video on Friday. I'll be surprised at this point if he doesn't pick the Hokies. Here's his breakdown of his visit and top five:

http://rvls.co/1MAR76k

Hey guys,

According to a University of Georgia source, one of their quarterbacks, Jacob Park, left the football program and has expressed some interest in Virginia Tech "as an option."

The redshirt freshman was heavily recruited by Hokies offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler before he decided on UGA.

Although the position at quarterback is filled and all the slots for quarterback are full, could the Hokies offer Park a spot on the team?

I will keep you guys posted if I hear anything else on Park. Thoughts?

The ncaa won't ever drop the big hammer again, but they should. Retributive justice demands it.

There is no way to estimate the damage unc has done to the likes of VT. Short of the DP, theres no way to redress the harm. If they were out of the way completely, it would, over time, help those whom unc has harmed.

Fact is, were the ncaa led by honest people they'd acknowledge unc's scandal in recruiting is just as big (if not bigger) and has been going on just as long as the academic fraud.

Worse than SMU.
