Guys, I spoke earlier with Palatka (Fla.) two-star linebacker Eron Carter, whom VT just offered this past weekend. I personally think we've got Carter a little underrated, at just two stars in the class.

Carter is a kid who just came on VT's radar in the lat couple of weeks. But already, the Hokies think pretty highly of him. Assistant coach Charley Wiles made an in-home visit with him earlier. Carter said they talked about education and how he wants to major in engineering. VT also likes him as an inside linebacker, which is where Carter feels most comfortable.

The big thing with Carter is that he wants to also throw shot putt and discus at whatever school he goes to. The Hokies would certainly let him do that.

This past weekend, Carter took an official to Tulane and the week before he officially visited Air Force. The service academies get a few recruiting exceptions, including being able to take more in their classes and Jan. 8 was another example, even tthough it was a dead period for everyone else. But strangely, the school that seems to stand out a lot is UMASS. Honestly, VT can't figure it out, since UMASS is going back to FCS after leaving the MAC after this past season.

Carter is officially visiting Western Kentucky this weekend and VT Jan. 29. This is a kid who Wiles and the Hokies like a lot and I think can probably pull in during that weekend.
