HokieHaven.com has reported the Hokies just landed their 19th commitment, defensive tackle Nigel Williams out of Benedictine School
in Richmond. Shane Beamer was able to secure Nigel's pledge after a heated recruiting battle with UVa. The Richmond Times-Dispatch named the 6-3 250 Williams one of their top 25 juniors for 2011.

gotta think
some of these DT's will be OL at some point.
i fully expect VT to lock down kirven and wynne and shut this shit down on the DL.
get edmunds and the other 3-4 recruits will be the O. Harris and Caleb are the big fish on that side of the ball. we look good for both.
Wynn went to UVA
Wynn committed to UVA, but Kirven should be a lock for VT. Williams instead of Courtnye is a fair trade. Caleb can line up wherever he wants, but I actually think he'd be best at Safety. I like Harris better than Wes Brown, but Brown could potentially bring Stefon Diggs with him.

Here come the Nixon to UVa rumors.

Nixon was a great pickup, with lots of potential, but it is still early in the process. At this rate, we were going to run out of scholarships before any of the high four- or five-star guys made their decisions. If Nixon stays, he will be a wonderful contributor with Marcus Davis-type size. If he follows his friends to Hoo-ville, and winning and coaching aren't important to him, then Caleb, Diggs, and Irick are still available. It's safe to say that if peer pressure would sway his choice, then we don't want him. If he has the fortitude to withstand the pressure, then we absolutely do want him.
The quotes in the paper bothered me. Anyone that thinks breaking a commitment is okay either lacks character or maturity. They also lack respect for the "friend's" decision. Makes you wonder what type of recruits are heading to whooville. We don't want anyone like that. Agree that anyone that breaks a commitment is suspect. Are they really commited to playing football? Can you really count on them to follow through with anything? Will they follow the rules or be a behavior problem? If after you try somehting you find out it isn't working then you can transfer or do something different. But to break a promise (a commitment) is not good.
