Guys, just a few tidbits to pass along here on late Tuesday night.
First off, I talked at length with Adam Friedman earlier about Dudley (NC) three-star quarterback Hendon Hooker. He still will be announcing Thursday morning on a local television station in Greensboro. He's supposed to be calling me tomorrow to give more details on station and time. Still waiting to confirm with a very good source at Notre Dame, but it sounds like the Irish are not taking another quarterback after taking one over the weekend. So it sounds like overwhelming odds that Hooker picks Virginia Tech. But even if he commits, there is a lot of thinking that he could open his recruitment up and continue to look around, especially if Notre Dame changes its mind.
Virginia Tech had a visitor today in Lafayette (Va.) WR Hezekiah Grimsley. I haven't been able to get hold of him yet, but the feedback I've gotten from the coaching staff is that it went well. He was on hand throughout the early evening for practice and also got to VT in the middle of the afternoon to look around campus a bit and also talk to the coaches. Updates coming.
I've confirmed that the Hokies will host another target on Friday night. Episcopal (Va.) four-star DE Luiji Vilain will make the trek down to VT. Vilain is ranked No. 89 in the Rivals100, so that's definitely a big deal. We'll have plenty of coverage on this one, including reaction from him.
Finally, I'll have another INsider post, but I spoke just a little while ago with Mallard Creek (NC) three-star offensive lineman Eric Douglas. VT just offered last week, but already, Douglas told me he has the Hokies in his top 8. He's taken Clemson out of a previous top list. Now, his 8 consists of Virginia Tech, Penn State, Maryland, South Carolina, Florida, North Carolina, Missouri and NC State. He'll be at Maryland and Penn State this weekend. No mention of a VT visit, but expect one this spring.
