Released his top 3 tonight. Said Kentucky fans show him the most love and his top 3 Instagram pic showed UK the biggest. How do you guys feel about this? I thought we were in good shape after all the twitter recruiting by the rest of the #fab5.
Check out his twitter feed. Lets show him some love (in an appropriate way).

He has been a Kentucky lean this whole time, so not sure we can worry too much. He alo said if OSU offers, they will take a spot in his top 3.
#Fab5 ?
Good news for us?
Don't know how the dietetics programs are but I know from experience VT campus food is definitely superior to UK's
What the hell is a dietetics?
Experts in food and nutrition. Tech has that program.
My wife majored in it. She makes good dinner.
our HNFE program is pretty good, apparently the dietetics program came up with some major diet thats being used to this day
The Princeton Review's 2012 rankings have been removed to make space for the 2013 rankings. But a quick Google shows we're up there with our HNFE (Human Nutrition Foods and Exercise) program. I've know a few people who graduated from there and all high marks. Also, I would say 2:1 girl to guy ratio :)

FWIW. And then there were 2? Either way, I really want this guy. #fab5
I think he's going to end up at Kentucky. And I agree, if he picks Tech, that'll be one heck of an o-line haul for Grimes in his first season.
Bump......
Today is the day: 4PM.
Not feeling too good about it, but heres hoping Grimey can pull a rabbit out of his cap and complete the #Fab5
I wouldn't count us out yet:

As an OL, you know that performance is best reflected in wins and lots of them. Which program gives the the best chance at a handful of rings?
VT
Getting him and the completing the #fab5 would be HUGE IMHO. I happen to like our chances.
But, if we don't get him, it's because of something uncontrollable like distance from home. Our current recruits and Grimey have done an outstanding job at pushing.
I have zero inside knowledge, but I think we pick him up. Also, looks like the decision got moved to 6PM, though I'm not sure what time zone he's in.
Positives for us: early PT possible as we transition to a new blocking scheme; he's a GOOD fit for the scheme; wants to be an HNFE major (and we're pretty well-known for that within dietitian-type circles); and he's a Christian kid (Grimey is apparently a pretty big Christian himself, if memory serves me, and our FCA program is legit).
Negatives for us: none. There are no negatives to being a Hokie :)
*crosses fingers*
We could really use the good news. Fisher, Reid, and Jefferson going to prep school. Pfaff now grey shirting because of a shoulder injury. Missing on Brown and Hand. It has not been a good news summer outside of the OL.
Hokie Haven also has a suspension update for someone that's for their subscribers only.
Joel Caleb
Interesting. Wonder what he did...
Not good.
Another reason why I like this kid:
What's the most impressive thing you've ever done on the football field?
Helped 2 of our running backs to become 1,000 yard rushers.
That was further down on his ask.fm. People are letting him know that VT has some top RB's coming in. This kid is great on ask.fm. I've used it for Derrick Nnadi and CJ, and honestly, mostly get yes and nos. He actually provides input and has more to say.
I think we have a great shot. If he doesn't come to VT, I still think Grimey did a great job. We still have some large dominos left to fall, so I'm not ruling this year out yet.
EDIT: The last couple of predictions were for UK, included was Evan Watkins and JC Shurbett. So now I'm not so sure...
JC Shubertt, the Director of Recruiting at 247, and Evan Watkins, one of the VT Scoop Gurus, flipped their picks from VT to UK this morning on the Crystal Ball predictor. Not a good sign.
Looks like Mark Stoops is trying to make UK compete in Football. That gives me a very sick feeling to my gut.
When i saw shubert flip his over I let out an audible sigh
Is he committing via Twitter or is it on ESPN or something?
For what its worth, Gobblercountry just retweeted Brady is headed to Kentucky.
And the hits just keep on comin'...
Boy am I happy that dude was wrong! Phew!
I like the part where he deleted the tweet after the announcement.
Well, well...this is a pleasant surprise:
Our Grimey hands are plucking O-lineman from all over the place. Have to love this change compared to the last 5+ years of shortcomings in OL recruiting.
Grimes doing work!!! Welcome to HokieNation, Brady!
so the #fab5 is official
Coach Grimes is throwing straight heat!
Taylor just tweeted it, it is official, and I would embed it if I knew how.
Welcome to Hokie Nation Brady!
Grimes did a heck of a job. Just imagine how this will be for next year's cycle with the benefit of more lead time. Things are looking up.
My reaction is like this right now:
#GRIMES4HEISMAN
Especially when his line helps win that award for the best RB or QB in VT history. Aim high.
