On the Rivals Mainboard... Not surprising, 0-0 really is about as laughable as it gets.

Frank's picture celebrating the missed WF FG obviously doesn't help.

He appears to have a good sense of humor

Zamir White already looks like he will be one of the top running backs in the 2018 class. He has a long offer sheet and has barely started to do his research on these schools. In the video linked below he talks about his new offer from Virginia Tech and his recent visit to Tennessee. White also said he plans on visiting Georgia this summer for UGA's camp.

In the video linked below, Rivals100 DB Marquill Osborne talks about his commitment to Tennessee and his interest in Clemson, Florida, Virginia Tech and Michigan. Osborne says he will take official visits to Clemson, Florida and Virginia Tech and will try to get back to Tennessee in June.

Hey guys,

Just got word on some of next season's game times:

Sept 7: vs. Ohio State, 8 pm, ESPN
Sept. 12: vs. Furman, 3:30 pm, EXPS3
Oct. 9: vs. NC State, 8 pm, ESPN
Nov. 12: at Georgia Tech, 7:30 pm, ESPN

Thoughts?

Know he went to court and they postponed it which happens if I am not mistaken you can do that up to 3 times.Just wondering if anyone hearing anything

Hope this Johns kid is good because there is no one else. Lambert and Cutler this week. What's going on in C-town?

Here's my latest weekly recap on VT baseball. They qualified for the ACC Tournament, which is this week. If they beat UNC on Tuesday then they play games on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I have them beating UNC and then dropping 2 of 3 to end the season in pool play.

Hey guys,

Rivals100 QB Dwayne Haskins Jr. chose the University of Maryland to play football over Virginia Tech and many other universities in the country. Did Virginia Tech really have a chance? Did they lose a huge opportunity here?

Checking out the home board and see at the very top ---- evidently there is a young man (recruit we evidently must be considering) THAT HAS ONLY PLAYED I N " O N E VARSITY GAME "

Nm

I do not like it. There was nothing wrong with old one, other than a lack of posters.

big congrats to all who participated?... upside.. an assessment of whats working & not working may result in refocus of efforts and perhaps give chance for new starts or other sports

Hey guys,

The Virginia Tech baseball team just beat Pittsburgh 13-7 to advance to the ACC Tournament. They had lost the last two against Pitt and it looked like a nail-biter, but they made it by. The Hokies are the No. 9 seed and are set to play UNC in the near future.

How far will the Hokies go? Do you think they have any chance of making it to the title game?

Just got off the phone with Outlaw's coach at Lee College (TX), assistant Marcus King, who explained that Outlaw is not committed to VT, as others falsely reported last night: http://rvls.co/1E5vxAO

Still sounds like it might happen, but he's not done with school and there's some paperwork involved. Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma State, Missouri, West Virginia and others involved.

Guys, earlier today, the Hokies made a very big offer for the 2016 class, for Imhotep Inst. Charter (Pa.) four-star guard Johncarlo Valentin. He had a very impressive showing last month at the New Jersey stop of the Rivals Camp Series and will get a solid ranking when the next rankings come out. Combination offer of Cornell Brown and Stacy Searels here.

Guys, I spoke earlier with Mallard Creek (NC) 2017 four-star DT Grant Gibson, whom VT offered Tuesday. I got an in-person look at him at the Charlotte Rivals Camp and he's got the make up of a very solid D-lineman.

Gibson actually also visited for the spring game, his first trip to VT. He told me he was very surprised about the trip, because he thought VT would be in the middle of nowhere. But he liked the campus, the atmosphere and said he liked what there was to do. He also liked getting to talk with defensive coordinator Bud Foster and defensive line coach Charley Wiles.

Assistant coach Shane Beamer is his primary recruiter and Gibson said he likes what he's heard there, too. Beamer keeps reiterating how much they want him and how they want him to come back on a visit.

The other new offer is from Colorado State, which also offered Tuesday. The connection there is his former head coach is now on staff out there. But it sounds like Gibson is thinking a little bigger. Tennessee was first to offer in February and Vanderbilt and NC State have both since offered.

This spring, Gibson said he also visited NC State, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Florida State and North Carolina. Nothing definite is planned right now, but he wants to visit UNC, Duke, South Carolina, Clemson and NC State this summer. Still mighty early here, but he has visited VT, which is certainly a plus. I don't think he's leaning any one way right now either.
