That's what people don't understand about UNC, Duke and NCST they are closer in driving time to the beach than VT is. Hell so is Richmond, that can make a difference.

There's a group of people working on it I believe but they are not quite done yet. The only reason I'm keeping my 360.
Haha didn't mean to be too pessimistic. If it makes it better I think we get Hunter. I was just saying he's a big need for perception from casual fans and UNC might be something to keep an eye on with him. I do think its too far away to get excited about 2018 guys though.
For the most part I'm fairly content with how our class is right now. It's a brand new staff that didn't have many connections in VA. Its not like they were recruiting Virginia super heavily before they were hired to Tech. Relationships are built during junior years and kids are going to choose schools that they have better relationships with. I would expect the 2018 class to be a lot better than the 2017 one for that reason, especially if we're successful on the field.
If I saw that coming at me, the sideline is your only friend! Or run the other way (If you choose to get up after he mskes contact)
Wow, last two posts are perfect examples of glass half full and half empty. :-)
I personally don't want to get my hopes up on Slade. Its a long ways away to signing day 2018 though things certainly are promising.
Starting to get somewhat concerned with UNC for Hunter. He visited twice in 5 days a couple weeks back and some people think they might be starting to build momentum there. IMO from a fan perception point, he's make or break for this class. Land him and things are fine but if we lose a long time lean from Virginia to a conference rival you know people are going to come out of the woodwork complaining about recruiting/the staff. Especially if we win <7 games this season
Ok some good news:
Hokies knocked it outta the park with 2018 4* WR Justin Shorter
The 2018 #1 RB recruit Ricky Slade per 247: He is extremely enticed by the idea of starting a movement in Virginia. Becoming a player like the notorious Michael Vick, Tyrod Taylor, Cornell Brown who became legendary winners while still playing for their in-state school. He is also enamored with the idea of becoming the premier option in Justin Fuente's offense, which is built around establishing a run attack. His family also loves the prospects of him playing at Virginia Tech and his close friendship with Tech Signee Silas Dzansi is something to keep an eye on.
We still lead with 4* S Devon Hunter
WHEEELS!!! Can't wait to see the destruction in this dude's wake!
It wasn't an insult. Wranglers are still my favorite vehicle. But you have to admit, they're a little hard to drive 70mph on the interstate in high winds.
Plus for a DT that's a good thing. I'd rather have OLs and RBs running into a Wrangler than an Accord.
THEY HAVE ALFALFA!
Thanks for the link!
Great video, but it's still tough to make any definitive conclusions about his speed. Can we see this plotted on the Alonzo Tweedy Speed Chart?
Then you have a shitty sense of humor.
Too much like a Jeep Wrangler
There is no such thing as too much like a Wrangler.
Annual base salary $518,175.00 divided by the average price of 540 area code Mixed Grass hay bales on http://www.hayexchange.com/va.php ($45) comes to...11,515 bales.
Now if you want to mix in some oats, carrots, apples, and buckets of beer, that number is going to decrease. Of course, of course.

The rule wouldn't be one that would be used to punish someone for being a jerk. It would be one that would prevent said jerk from exploiting a loophole. Like, offers can only be printed on official university letterhead with a super secret watermark or something. Or maybe something just as simple as offers submitted over Twitter are not considered real offers.

# | OT: Review finds it "more probable than not" Pats intentionally deflated footballs I am in agreement, almost completely.
I think a harsh punishment improves his legacy. Tom Brady is insanely pretty; he can never have too much street cred.
His legacy to the millions of football fans he created is currently the 1) the pink jersey and 2) the Tom Brady rule, or the arbitrary rule book flagellation that must occur when a man that should be a supermodel hurts his leg playing your stupid contact sport!
He does a little hard time, he becomes just another guy to those of us who don't wear Freedom and Bald Eagle tinted glasses.
Now, what if Brady takes his his suspension AND Goodell gets proven wrong? You would get to witness non-Patriot fans ACTUALLY LIKING sticking up for Tom Brady.
The only way to account for something like this is to make all offers written and guaranteed.
Until then, there is pretty much nothing that gutless organization can do to stop kids from getting screwed.

Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG. Shouldn't be that fast because of its weight, and yet you do NOT want to race one lest you get embarrassed.
Can't believe you would reuse this gif, it's just so overused. /s
