WOOOO!! LET'S GO!!!
Let's go
Hokies!!!
Coaching staff is pretty pumped
Fuente is letting his hair down and I am here for it.
It's both an entertaining development and a really important step in getting our fanbase to actually like our coach. I'm loving it.
With COVID no one can get their hair cut. He's got to do something with his new found luscious locks.
there's a big I told you so in these messages and I like it
Man, I love Justin Fuente 2.0.
Me too, but wouldn't this be Justin Fuente 3.0? IIRC Fuente 2.0 the one that capitulated on the turkey bacon, and then Fuente 2.1 said to hell with that and got tough with his team again, which allegedly begat the win over Miami, the near-win over ND, and the consecutive shutouts. So maybe CJF 3.0 combines the personality of CJF 2.0 with hopefully the winning tendencies of CJF 2.1?
Boom! Great pickup
Hell yeah!!! Feels good to hear something like this! LETS GOOOOO
Well, I'm erect.
👀👀👀
FAM LETS GET IT
This was the Ebaum's world vid that defined my freshman year at Tech... sincerely I thank you for posting this
Tunak tunak tun tunak tunak tun
Man I watched this video about a million times in West AJ as a freshman
Oh baby oh baby
Fuente getting quarantine turnt and taking to Twitter sealed it. You can't convince me otherwise.
Quarantine PLS
Quaranturnt.
FINALLY, some really good news.
HUGE commit also looks like recent CB's for Watson/Naquan
We getting CBs for naquan now too?
More to come sounds like.
Would ya look at that.
For anyone interested, here's the full article that was pulled from: https://virginiatech.rivals.com/news/rivals250-wr-latrell-neville-commit....
This is so awesome, especially after hearing John Iezzi on the Sons of Saturday pod talking about how tirelessly they all work to try and make Virginia Tech football a better program -- not just more attractive, but better. the two often go hand in hand
I like hearing this! At least some of our recruits think we're trending the right way. So when TreVeyon Henderson said he wanted to play for a Natty, and everybody thought that automatically excluded us, apparently that's not necessarily true. While it's not going to happen next year, we seem to be picking up steam with these recent commits, and if that continues, we might be a few years away from chasing a national championship.
I also like the language he was using - "difference between us," "our moves," "I think we're close." Maybe it's just me, but when you're using those words vs. saying something about Tech, seems like he already considers himself part of Tech already.
More proof we were well rid of Wiggins, right? *ducks*
I know you're joking / tic / S whatever - but Higgins was a good coach by all indications. It's a shame Saban hired him but oh well.
I am pumped.
This is it. This is the year, and Fuente is going to pull whatever strings he's gotta pull to get the best players to Tech. I'm all for it. A chunk of this fan base has been waiting for this since 16-17. Let's get behind this team, this coaching staff, and let's fucking go!
Fam... If this staff can keep up the quarantine vibes, things are gonna be lit.
Fuente is lettin loose on Twitter and J'Ham seems to have a mission. I love it!
Huge grab to pull this guy out of Texas!
Welcome to VT Latrell!
Hopefully we see some more good news soon.
Like a breath of fresh air
I know they aren't signed yet, but it only took 5 commits to surpass the number of 4* recruits from last year's class. Guess that means we're trending up now!
I needed this
Sounds like these guys are very optimistic that fellow blue-chips will be joining them. LET'S GO!
I'm so excited, I'm watching the last 6 minutes vs Miami in 2011.
He was rated as high as .94 last summer and is now .89 -- does anyone know what might have caused this? Looks like 247 had him graded at 91 before the season and 88 after. Hopefully he comes out on fire for his senior year
According to an individual on reddit, he was injured. His stats would seem to indicate that too. I think he had ~300 rec yards last season
fair. that's definitely the case for other hokie TX2VT target Latrell McCutchin, former Bama commit.
Mike Farrel just had a tweet that said Nevilles team only completed 116 passes his jr season. Looks like that's the driver behind his "meager" stats
I would feel better if I knew his battery percentage. /s
Get excited Hokie Nation. Show as much positive energy for an announcement like this as we would negativity when a kid goes elsewhere. Dee is the real deal and he is starting a snowball that is going to roll right through Charlotte.
Also, let's give Beau a raise before somebody else does.
Having a commit as big as Dee out there recruiting this hard when the coaches can't directly contact recruits is invaluable.
Eh... the coaches can pretty much contact recruits though. Kids are plenty comfortable communicating by social media if they don't outright prefer it anyway.
Just imagine if we got Treyveon Henderson, this would be our hype level:
I know this is a joke gif but man as a space nerd its amazing to think of the scale here. There's three of those guys in spacesuits inside the little cone shaped bit just below the abort rocket. The Saturn V was a monster of a machine.
Does anyone know if we've backed off of Trevyon or are we still in his ear despite his commit?
maybe he's just waiting for two tkp commenters in a row to correctly spell treveyon /s
What the hell has gotten into CJF lately!? I mean that in a good way
He's stuck at home. And he read The Key Play and decided to prove a certain (dc) poster wrong.
About what? what was I wrong about now? Fuente tweets via Pete Morris, and I was wrong about his personality? Cool, if that makes you feel better, run with it.
I think we would all enjoy Fuente proving us wrong in recruiting and on field results, and i'll definitely ride that horse.
That's wasn't Morris. He is currently in Wisconsin.
Ahh thanks, Twitter doesn't work in Wisconsin. Noted.
This made me laugh. Point of clarification, are you questioning if this is indeed Fuente now? Because I agree Pete usually runs the Twitter, but this week I do believe this is Fuente or an elaborate hoax (which I am ok with as well). But at one point he was talking to Pete....which would be clever, but not necessary.
Do I think Justin Fuente himself sent all of those tweets? No. Not at all.
This. This is the quote.
TX2VT
Turkey leg just went from 6 to midnight.
how is this not PLAID?!
BOOM SHAKALAKA! This is a good start and adds some solid momentum to the 2021 class! This kid looks like he could be a tough physical reciever that I have always loved to have. The big bodied mean BOB that can cram a Quinn Blanding type of loudmouth into the dirt.
I don't know much, but I know I love you...
And that may be all you need to be a Hokie 🎶
