Oct. 16 has been circled all off-season and through the early season as VT's big visit weekend, and while the on-field results have taken some of the shine off the group, there should still be a number of talented prospects in the house. Here's an early look:
That's not a comprehensive list, just an early taste. Look for a lot more guys from the Jacksonville area to come up (the same group that camped together in the Summer), along with the usual cohort of guys who come from a little closer to Blacksburg and can make a day trip out of it.
The lone official visitor is Jackson, and it'll be interesting to see how the staff approaches his visit with the way they're spreading the net wider at the DE spot recently. Of course, we're no longer expecting Rivals100 DE Desmond Evans to make his long-scheduled official visit, given that he's expected to commit to the Heels Friday. If he surprises or delays the commitment, the visit could possibly be back on, but I certainly wouldn't be holding my breath.
