Sounds like there will be some top recruits in BB this weekend. Some speculation is walker may commit and noah brown may be there (billy seems to be bringing a lot of jersey boys) and Watkins is now predicting him our way.
Anyway, some of that good news could be around the corner.

I'd be very surprised if we didn't get at least a couple commits this weekend. Should be interesting to see what happens.
Sad thing is that it def won't be Nnadi or Noah Brown. Walker possible or someone else, like Colt. Some of these guys want all their officials, so just a waiting game.
3-star OL from Ohio Colt Pettit will be in town.
Yeah, CJ has been pretty coy about this weekend, seems this will be the time for the Hokie July Surprise.
I will die a happy man if our 2015 starting offense has guys named colt, billy ray, and bucky
you got your wish!
But don't die
Brandon Lee, 4-star from Lawrence Central in Indianapolis will be there too.
Josh Cabrera's bio on 247Sports has him attending.

4-star DE Jesse Aniebonam made a visit last March, but has since said he wants to get back to Blacksburg again: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/recruiting-insider/wp/2013/06/19/goo....
3-star Ohio offensive lineman (tackle) Brady Taylor recently listed the Hokies in his top-5, so it would be ideal if he got on campus.
I still say we need to switch conferences with Kentucky.
I like how we are at the center of that pic!
Interesting how we are reaching into Ohio state territory - I like it!!
It's easier to recruit against programs on probation when they don't have the SEC label.
I just saw that colt has offers from Harvard and Yale too. Very interesting. I'm a big fan of smart football players
No Stanford offer though?
Hm.
Even Stanford has started tapping into Virginia recruits. Hogan is proving a capable successor to Luck.
i think that'll end now that pep has moved on to the nfl
Sorry - fat thumb on small phone. It was meant to be an up vote.
You know, I just spent like 2 hours going through a good 3/4's of 247Sports top 247. I have came to 2 rather decisive conclusions. One is that I really need to get outside more...I mean my g/f just looked at me like I had a fungus when she realized I had spent 2+ hours looking at high school kids plans for football. Secondly, and probably more pertinent to y'all since you can't see said fungus, is...We MUST start figuring out a way to keep these kids from our backyards interested in VT. It appalls me that Alabama can consistently take our kids. We got two choices as I see it. #1. Make sure they realize that Alabama degrees are about as useful as an ashtray on a Harley, or probably a better idea.. #2...BEAT THE HELL OUT OF ALABAMA. Thanks for allowing me to rant. I'll now try to convince my girl that all you guys/gals spouses let y'all do it and actually approve. #August31
Since Tech only plays 14 days out of the year, we use outlets like TKP and 247sports to fill our needs the rest of the 351 days of the year.
It's like how girls use pinterest. Except TKP is awesome and not a waste of time.
Except TKP rarely gives me awesome pie recipes. Amiright, French?
BROWN SUGAR PIE
Ingredients:
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cups evaporated milk
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. In a saucepan, combine flour and sugar. Stir in milk, butter, salt and vanilla. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Pour into an unbaked pie shell.
3. Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking for 25 minutes
Sorry sir, Pinterest is awesome, if your wife knows how to cook. I would probably be skinny and under-nourished except for that website. Yum! Yum! a new Pinterest recipe. Let's eat!
It's also an easy shopping guide for guys. Don't know what to get for your wife/gf? Check her pinterest!
Don't know what to get your woman? Tell her you got her something, and tell her to guess what it is. Chances are good she'll start listing all the stuff she wants. Then go buy it.
I thought i was the only one that did this. Nice!
Well played, sir.
If you need designs for building most anything with wood it is a great first place to look as well... Between Pinterest and AnaWhite.com you're pretty much golden!
2nd on anawhite.com, that site is the tits!
That site doesn't exist...
*EDIT* It does exist, with a hyphen. www.ana-white.com
Also, I just found plans for my new entertainment center. Boo yah.
Try this: http://ana-white.com/
Just did. See edit above.
My bad on the link, but the site is badass! If you look through my house you'll see a good 4 or 5 items taken from there very poorly.
If you have kids, the kid picnic table was a breeze and looks awesome. not bad for Sunday afternoon at $60. the wife and kids both love it.
didn't realize this would be literal.
Like the fire.
I am hearing on the other forum I go to we have a commit already that will be announced this weekend. I don't know who it is but the poster who does seemed rather pleased with it.
Several in camp this weekend, including Nnadi. Nnadi has said it's down to us and FSU, but I think I read he's not going to decide for a while.
Nnadi made it clear Tech and FSU are his favorites and as of right now he's planning to take his official visits before deciding.
Tre'Quan Smith is a 2-/3-star kid depending on the service.
Matt Porter (aka mattyports.....) is the guy who live tweeted the Jawand Blue decommit conversation with Beamer (actually ended up being Wiles).
So, he's a good guy.....
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/hokies-journal/post/national-signing...
Some 2015 names to watch:
Deshawn McClease
Harry Lewis
Darvin Taylor
All three of these players have two things in common: Virginians who just had their "crystal ball" prediction say Virginia Tech this week, from Evan Watkins.
I wouldn't be surprised if at least one of the three commits this weekend.
Evan Watkins also added Trevion Armstrong, a 6'4" WR out of VA. He is a 4 star also. The prediction is to the Hokies.
Seems like Armstrong really wants to be a Hokie.
I think Nnadi was making jokes once about predicting schools for kids, and I believe that Trevion was a Hokie by his book (Nnadi even mentioned how that was an easy prediction).
My prediction for the 4 star surprise this weekend is Ricky Walker.
Nnadi is still insistent he will take his officials. I think we have a shot with Colt Pettit and Brady Taylor also.
Nice call, Pettit is in the books as a Hokie! Walker would be a huge get, imo.
I think Cj just tweeted that he predicts Raymond minor commits this weekend. I really have no idea what half the stuff he says means but I can distinguish that.
Can I just say, while I enjoy your posts, I really just want to punch your avatar in the face every time I see it.
That is all.
Hahaha Not everyone can handle James Van der Beek. I put that up to signify my sadness over getting "The Hand"
I guess it's time to move on....look for something new this afternoon
Haha, don't change it on my behalf. You were kind of like my Newman with that avatar.
Looks like Monty Fenner and a bunch of other Oscar Smith kids will be there. Already expecting a lot from them if VT extends offers. Calling them under the radar kids.
Seen on some sites people are predicting 2-3 commits before the week is over. Not sure if Colt was part of that count. Either way I'm thinking at least one commit during/after camp.
Supposed to be a lot of 2015 kids to. This camp is definitely being hyped.
Nnadi will be a while but JC is working him hard.
I hope JC, CJ, and anyone else that has access and he trusts reel in Nnadi. The more I read about him the more I like. I've said it before but give me pissed off at the world with something to prove kid on a Bud Foster defense any day. Nnadi is on a mission to prove all the scouting services wrong and every time he gets snubbed he just gets more motivated. If that's not the mold for a Hokie I don't know what is.
I saw Nnadi on instagram taking a picture a couple of weeks ago in chicago with Steven Moss, Quin Blanding, Andrew Brown and Jamil Kamara at an event for Under Armour I believe either way it made me very uncomfortable. lol
Did the caption read "I can't wait to beat these guys for the next 4 years"?
Raymon Minor and 2015 QB Jack Beneventi will be in Blacksburg as well. There will be lots of talented prospects on campus.
Many think Minor will commit this weekend.
Jack is a 4* with no VT offer. Though that could change. Seems he is heavy on ND, but then that is top offer right now.
Brandon Lee is out.
To speculate, his travel arrangements might have fallen through, he could be planning to commit somewhere else, or someone may be on the verge of committing to Tech and nabbed his spot.
Edit: He also add this, so most likely a transportation thing.
I wonder if VT is able to roll out the red carpet for some of these recruits, or if that is more difficult to do at a big event like this.
Probably. I imagine they have this thing planned to a tee.
If so, then Nnadi is the one they need to go all out for tomorrow, though I don't believe he is one of the presumed commits.
Nnadi is getting a lot of negative tweeter reaction right now.
Someone acting as a Wahoo. Hope it isn't one of ours.
Sweet I love commitment hype!!!! Ill be in the burg on Monday-Wednesday too...love coming home here is to us snagging 4 guys this weekend!!!
Minor has a rush of predictions for VT. He may be committing this weekend.
Jay Payton tweeted that he is rapping with JC about becoming a hokie. He is also hitting camp this weekend. I think he may be in too. He was also giving some love to Dwight Vick. Jay is rolling with a few boys too.
Jawanza Adams will be there, if VT offers, I think he is a lock. Has an offer from Clemson and is from SC.
Edit: shai Mckenzie will be there too. Though he has FSU as his leader, so it would be major.
Not sure if Josh Sweat will be there, but he has hit up VT camp previously.
I hope we sign Keith Sweat... we could really us a good R&B singer...
Edited, it was late and I was tired. Plus there is a Keith Sweat billboard near my house for an upcoming concert.
Hey...Keith Sweat may have helped pull in Andrew Brown because of his music career interests...
