Since we just get random nuggets and few things are full thread-worthy, creating a spot for spring updates.
A quick #Hokies football note: Per VT, safety Nyke Johnson is no longer on the roster. He and the Virginia Tech staff are exploring a non-playing role for him with the program.Johnson was a 2021 signee who tore his Achilles in winter workouts last year.— Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) March 18, 2024

Full roster was posted a few days ago.
Givens listed at offensive line, thought he might be listed as both

Today's media availability was Lane,Gallo, and Mines. Mines talks a little about his new role. Not a lot in the way of peeks behind the scenes from any of the three. Mines and Lane both spoke highly of Greene.
The previous media day was pretty lackluster. Not much beyond coach speak from Priolieu. He was losing his voice though. Stroman said he is recovering well.
What do we think of the Nyke situation? Dude just wants to be a Hokie but can't play after his ACL?
He tore his Achilles. Surgeries and recoveries are getting better, but sometimes that's a career ender.
In his case, I am hoping it's more of a career-changer. He's getting a jump on his coaching career.
Eye gots 'em... Time, however? And not so much
French will be sad that one oLineman is not in-fighting-trim. Shew.
Tho' I'll hit them post-spring methinks; as we/O'dox have a Cinco de Pascha this year and hopefully men's hoops can make a football-releasing spoiling run for when I can stop previewing them and get back on the gridiron fulltime.
Tho I will give you gentlemen these freebies... King-Tut' and Drones have made noticeable physical progress; which is staggering. Considering... That, and the Duke Dt1 is a damn Dusty Rhodes bull-of-da-woods cement factory-build kid. Lawsy! Been since W.Teller or before since a team started to look that put-in-work, part. And Pry is one of the biggest cheerleaders; ever! Truly. He may be doing the 'rong sideline thing.
Happy Western Easter to all of you at TKP in the meantime...

Yeah, I'd gathered Cunningham hasn't been running with the 1's. Someone has to be able to unseat the incumbents at right guard or we have a problem.
FWIW, I've mostly chalked that up to him having what, 3 practices in the system so far? I don't think we'll really have a sense of the starting line until summer
