Did anyone see the string of tweets from Burden and Pimpleton, is there any other word on this? Burden mentions a 4 star running back from Georgia and Khalil appears to tell us who he is.

Whenever I think of running back and speed, this image comes to mind.
I just can't help it. This is the true definition of speed. I'm also starting to
feel like coach Burden is our best recruiter.
I usually see this one as "your kids will learn to beat Michael Phelps."
Nobody beats Michael. The old man rules.:--)
Except Kris Humphries.
And, for most of us, Father Time.
HIs running style reminds me a lot of Branden Ore.
Good mix of power and speed.
247 lists VT as his favorite, 88% VT probability, and 3 star composite.
He did not commit on his visit. Hopefully VT stays hot on him. Would hate to see us fall off. Always scary when a player says we are the leader, visits, and doesn't commit.
He is our #1 RB target (since Laborn committed to F$U) so I would expect us to stay "hot" on him. Hopefully he picks the Hokies sooner rather than later though. Could help keep the recruiting mo' going.
I understand ranking and prioritizing recruits, but I felt like there have been times we put too many eggs in one basket. I would like us to get into a position where i don't feel like we NEED this guy. I.e. We have offered 1a-1d, and the debate is who do we really want, or who will commit first, not will we get THE guy, especially with only 3 stars.
2017 Darius Pinnix was visiting on Saturday as well. 3* ATH from Elon, NC. Currently committed to ECU.
Not as fast but plenty fast and a LOT stronger reminds me of Conner at Pitt.
Looks good, and boy it helps when the QB drops em right in there like that cat was. Pretty impressed with him, too small to be D 1 probably and had a little too much of a wind up but he could run and threw some pretty balls.
Pinnix has some moves, would be an interesting player to get on board.
I feel like he would be a good fit at H. Based off of how Fuente has used H's in the past.
The last time we flipped someone committed to ECU we ended up with a 4 year starter on the o-line.
jameion moss plays OL?
No, pretty sure he's a linebacker. /s
Moss flipped in June 2012, McGlaughlin in December 2012 while he was at FUMA because he didn't qualify for ECU out of high school.
Technically then it's not a flip since prep school reopens the recruitment process
