Martinsville wouldn't work for one reason, nobody would want to go there. As someone who grew up not fa from the track, I would love to see another event that brings in 75000 people, but most folks who would come to a ACCG would want to stay in Greensboro/WS or Roanoke. I'm not really sure there are any hotels that could handle 2 football teams there either.
Yep, the recruiting guys who get the benefit of seeing camp film all say Savoy will be a difference maker.
Didn't count for Chizik.

# | ASK FRENCH- What are your Hokie football questions before fall camp kicks off? Hi I'm French from TKP
Loeffler will take credit for it.
It counts, but we shouldn't judge Fuente based on it.
I was told that after I introduced myself to Coach Searels at a NOVA Hokie Club event, I got the death stare the whole time I walked back to my table.
Coach Foster and Coach Gray have been very polite and gracious with me. Those are the only ones I have engaged with for more than a few seconds.
This class for the most part features guys who build depth and will be developed. However, they have the right tools. Now, Fuente can tip the scales by nailing the difference makers- and the way that the staff has hyped this (something they don't normally do unless the kid has announced and the word is just getting around) makes me think this could not only be big based on their evaluation board, but also in terms of perception.
His third year is going to be big evaluation year: does his offensive scheme work, how is his recruiting, how are the staff he brought over doing, how is the staff he kept doing, has Foster and Wiles meshed to the new HC.
So if we win the Natty this year or next, it doesn't count? /S
I think we offered just to get the lead in recruiting his three younger brothers. /s
I think they are doing a great job, but honestly, the verdict will be a few years out. Recruiting is more than just getting kids to come to a school, but they have to pan out as well.
So I think in Fuente third year is when we will be able to say more about their recruiting ability.
Nobody mentioned the Championship at Bristol.
Bet that made you a big hit with certain VT coaches, huh?
Totally didn't read "shifty" the first time through and thought that was a harsh way of critiquing a commit as a running back.
Thinking of the NFL stadiums on the east coast, the only dome is in Atlanta, and that's always booked the first Saturday of December.
All three Florida teams play outside. Carolina is outside. All of the NFC East teams actually on the east coast are outside. The AFC North teams are outside. Patriots and Bills are outside. Titans play outside.
Only other close dome would be Indy, which hosts the Big Ten.
You'll have to come to BSG more often.

# | Hokies Staging a "Blacksburg Bash," Modest Camp to Rev Up Recruiting for the Summer Anyone know how these BBQs work? Do they stand around somewhere on campus and eat? Are coaches just shooting the shit or pitching VT the whole time? I feel like there is some serious strategy around which coaches talk with who and for how long.

# | Hokies Staging a "Blacksburg Bash," Modest Camp to Rev Up Recruiting for the Summer Was he in BBG this weekend?
Great news to see after getting out of Munich Saturday.
Is it just me or is it that we seem to be getting a lot of recruits. Anyone have any stats as to where we in terms of numbers right as compared to the past few years?

# | Virginia Tech Football Recruiting: Bryce Thompson Commits to the Hokies Heard of it but now sure how good it is. But if he was a freshman sensation on a state level team in 4A (highest in SC) that's a good sign.
What about where he transferred?

# | Virginia Tech Football Recruiting: Bryce Thompson Commits to the Hokies Dutch Fork is a legit program in SC. Played for State two-ish years ago
Because early in the ACCCG history, JAX was unlucky. The 1st ACCCG was successful because it was VT FSU, but then they had WF-GT and that couldn't sell out NC A&T much less JAX. Then they had BC VT and that didn't sell well, then Tampa had BC VT 2.0 and the over head shots of the stadium didn't look very good. CLT has been a stronger location.
