Sunday was day two of the major recruiting weekend at Virginia Tech. Saturday was the BBQ and Sunday was the actual high school prospect camp. Koma will post in depth reports and interviews with the campers and attendees later in the week, meanwhile here's a first-hand look of the event through the lens of Twitter.
The Hokies extended a scholarship offer to 2017 DeMatha DE Chase Young.

#Hookies!?!
*facepalm*
great updates. I really appreciate these articles because I really don't have the time to Twitter stalk underage kids on my own. /s
thanks Joe, Alex and everyone! awesome work.
Virginia Tech University? Sign him now!
Beamer barn. Love it. Feel like you could go a whole new direction with a barn/farm theme. All the hokies on the farm go gobble gobble gobble...
It barely looks big enough to hold Settle, that kid is going to be destroying some OL soon...
I am familiar with this book
Hahaha!! Thats awesome!
"Virginia Tech offered 2018 Camp Hill, PA tight end Zack Kuntz his first scholarship"
Damn he loots taller than Bucky, can we start spelling it QB yet? *ducks*
You're talking about a guy with the last name Kuntz and that's the joke you went with?
That's a haggard old man with questionable facial hair choices. Open season!
Edit: Is that a fu manchu growing in or not? I can't tell.
Bucky and then Jovani could be the start of a trend. Massive athletic Calvin Johnson type TE/WRS, and that would be just cool. Also, Yulee looks good in a VT uniform.
Above the conference championship banners, what are those numbers representative of?
I can't read them, but I'd guess conference championships, 22 Consecutive bowl games, 11 straight Commonwealth Cup victories, and other stats they can point to for recruits.
Yep. http://www.hokiesports.com/baseball/recaps/20150716aaa.html
Now that it's all up, how did Bruce not make it anywhere?
It says in that hokiesports.com article that they are gonna try to work more of our legends up there in the future. However, do we need him up there if the real version of the legend is walking the sidelines most games?
Well Beamer and Brown are up there...
Torian too
Sam's not just on the sidelines, he starts at fullback.
My god, Haskins is almost as large as Bucky in that picture.
That high school is going to have one hell of a receiver on its hands when it comes time for Zach Kuntz' senior year
I would like nothing more than to have an O-Lineman named 'Lugg.'
Please make this the new standard in Blacksburg for future years. We have built an environment more than suitable to handle this and more. Keep pushing the envelope.
