Big get. This kid pops on film and with his frame, has huge potential.
Mr. Carroll is a Hokie, welcome aboard. Good to see Tapp (Deep Creek the original 757 crew) help bring in a top tier DL out of the well known Gilman School, Maryland. Things looking good.
Don't look now but the Hokies have some momentum on the recruiting trail, y'all!
Love this kid already.
Only 115%
*sigh*
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaassssss!!!!
Let's go!!
HOKIES!
The cut to Enter Sandman montage at the end was really sweet.
These commitment videos lately have been great. A little bit of humility mixed in
with an enthusiasm to be at VT.
Yeah I've really enjoyed all the recent commitment videos highlighting the journey for these guys. Showing their high school film and then transitioning to Tech footage. Are we making these for them or do they have their own people that do it?
Only 115%? Should we worry?
What is the threshold now? Is it 800 or 1000%? 115 seems a little shaky to me. I mean as we all know, 100% means not really committed, so he's only 15% bought in. /s
I'm actually more worried about the 800% kid..that kid is trying to convince someone and it's usually himself....🤔
All this percentage talk is useless if we can't see the battery life on his phone.
I like his wrestling background. Should help him at DE.
Every lineman should wrestle if they can make the weight without cutting!!
If they're a lineman, they're going to fall in the heavy category anyway. There wouldn't be any reason to cut.
So we should see him doing the full Nelson suplex on poor, hapless OL?
Beautiful pickup. Mattheus is going to be huge at VT. Love this.
"Stretch" might be my favorite nickname of any VT recruit or player ever...so good
Mattheus going anywhere but VT.
That would be, a stretch
Damn, call me paranoid but at first glance I read this as Mattheus Carrol "Decommits". Whew... glad to see some positive movement in filling out the recruiting class. Always good to see quality linemen signing on to play with VT.
He was re-rated up from an 83 to an 86 by 247 on Thursday. Really looks like having a good senior season could really push that up into 88 range too
Super happy to have him on board
Don't look now, but we're getting some decent players.
Better yet, Look! We're getting some decent players!
The one part I like about the off-season.
I didn't like seeing the title of this thread after other threads stating that he committed. My thought was, "Well, that was a fast de-commit!"
