REPORT: Nester will flip to VT

By: Beaver_Hokie on February 6, 2019, 12:58 AM | 17 comments

I am not sure that I like that this news is being broken ahead of his announcement in the wee hours of the morning, but Grant Traylor (reporter in Huntington, WV and beat writer for Marshall football) has confirmed that Doug Nester will pick VT.

The almost top 100 athlete is a 4* composite and is a huge pick up for the Hokies.

The article linked in the tweet below sheds some light on how mature Nester was during the process. He also talks a lot about how much Blacksburg just felt right to him. I think it is definitely worth the read.

Commence celebration.

Even so, the joke is that before last season we lost out on some guys because "the big dogs came in".

This addition will likely make this class the highest rated class in school history by 247 average player rating.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

Which is awesome... but a little bit of that is rank inflation

By average player ranking?

If anything, having a large class and the highest average player ranking is the best of both worlds here.

Well we are still outside the top25 so I guess he means inflation across the board?
