I'm on the case!
He retweeted Tre Hubbard. +1
Retweeted @NCAAFNation247 predicting him to FSU (also predicted Hunter and Capehart to VT)
Retweeted a Cam highlights.
Bunch of Hokie retweets, a few of Auburn.
Retweeted a comment about his commitment being a shocker "only if he picks Auburn or VT."
I'd put it at:
Little as in petite. Not short. You are correct sir.
Garbutt obviously has not heard about the VT de-commit curse ! Someone should have filled him in on the dire consequences of this....
Sleepy?
The trailer's trailer has been effective making me desperately want to watch the full length trailer that will make me piss in my pants in excitement waiting to watch the real game.
Based on that list, I think there's only one obvious conclusion. Every team in the NCAA needs to fire their current staff and hire better recruiters.

I agree with almost of this, except for the recruiting being 1 and the game 2. Do you need both, yes, and maybe co 1 is reasonable, but I disagree with the premise that recruiting is the most important part of coaching. I repeat myself a little, but I think bad offensive coaching has hurt us more than bad recruiting, and is major cause of our recruiting getting worse. I also think it unfair to say Fu and his hires are not the right people to help Foster recruit because one guy de-committed. It is reasonable to say you would have liked a proven recruiter on staff, I just think it is too early to call for change.
we're doing Italian now?
Anybody look to see who he's following in the past few days? Usually a leading indicator...

Grazie
I very much agree with this, it's been my belief for a while. I love Bud but until he can start producing NFL contributors on the Front 7 we will continue to struggle getting the top talent we need to compete at the next level.
I'm betting a lot of HS coaches will be watching the development of Tim Settle very closely. He's the first top tier DL that could have gone anywhere to choose VT in a long time.
Link por favor?

# | Nick Acree Added to Strength and Conditioning Staff in Full-Time Capacity True story - Christopher Nolan came to give a speech at Pamplin a few years back and saw Acree walking around campus, at which point he had the inspiration for the movie Interstellar. Why else would the black hole be called 'Gargantua'
First, check the "staff roster" on good ole HokieSports.com. 12 of the 17 staff members are new. No they're not all "coaches", but not just coaches recruit, which you are apparently entirely unaware of. You obviously have NO CLUE what the entire FB staff does from a recruiting standpoint as 3 non-coaches have direct recruiting responsibilities AND the Director of Ops does as well in regards to setting up meetings, showing guys around facilities and campus, and meeting them when they step on campus. And of those 4, 2 are brand new to VT. Oh, and the video guy is compiling clips on guys as well, so there's 5 non-coaches in on it. So keep on preaching that nonsense.
If you don't think Tolliver considered VT then you read NOTHING about ANY of his recruiting and are oblivious... see this article and quotes from his father.... http://theadvocate.com/sports/lsu/11492523-123/five-star-recruit-kevin-t...
I'm done with you on this. You may think you understand what goes on from an internal standpoint on recruiting, but until you experience it first hand and are at the table with coaches, players and parents, which I did for 2 + yrs, you don't know jack other than what rivals and 247 give you.
This is what Andy Bitter just said in his mailbag:
They have not, and I've heard it's still not finalized at this point what the Hokies will wear. The original letter of agreement said the Vols will wear orange and the Hokies will wear maroon or white (it's right there at point No. 5), so that gives Tech some leeway. Athletic director Whit Babcock has hinted in the past at something special for the game, although he wouldn't divulge what exactly. In May he said, "We're hoping to wear something that maybe people haven't seen but it's not crazy. How about that? I'll just leave it at that. I think it's really sharp." Is that all maroon? Possibly, although everyone's seen that. Could it be a gray or black number? That's probably also a possibility.
Personally, I don't feel like the staff capitalized on recruiting during the height of the winning seasons from '04-'07 which led to cupboard emptying of '08-Present. It does cause me to wonder about the true effectiveness of Stiney's ability in that area as well. Yes, he was relatable, but looking back, it feels like there was a flip side to that coin.

# | Nick Acree Added to Strength and Conditioning Staff in Full-Time Capacity little 5' 8" blonde girl
Don't get me wrong, that's a good height, but that's gotta be above average for a female. When I think of "little blonde girl" in a college setting, I don't think 5' 8" haha.
If we get Capehart, Laborn, and Hunter (along with others of course) I would consider this class a huge success. It's a long shot, but still possible. If this happens I could even see Garbutt recommitting.
