Well they can't exactly say "Recruited by Jeff Grimes" now can they...
I'm seeing Bitter tweet that the NLI is in for Ford, so I count that as reliable. Maybe the NLI is in but he wants to make the announcement himself at 2. That's what I'm hoping for.
So does that mean Frank could be the reason our basketball program turns around?

# | I'm new here and love this site, just wish I had known about it earlier. Great job! Welcome to the best Hokie website ever.
Somebody get Bitter on the line.
I think you're mssing my point. I agree with you that people shouldn't be throwing themselves off of bridges, or whatever. But I'm also not seeing a lot of that. There's maybe a handful of people who are over-reacting, but that happens in sports.
What I'm disagreeing with is the "wait to see how these recruits pan out" notion. You don't need to see that to be able to identify and address areas of improvement for next year. You don't have that luxury in college football, you don't have time to wait. If you wait, then everyone passes you by and you have an even bigger challenge ahead of you than if you had just been pro-active. This philosophy is the *Exact* reason why the program has gone through what it has over the last couple of years.
I don't think we need to wait 3 years to identify that when a Defensively Oriented school from Virginia almost completely misses on the top 10 Virginia recruits who are loaded with defensive talent, it's a problem that needs to be addressed for next and future years.
Hopefully to let him make his announcement at 2
Is it sad that Miami might have a lower rated class than they were pulling in under the NCAA investigation umbrella. I guess people are finally figuring out that Golden and crew aren't all that.
Ford's name was removed from the ticker on Hokie Sports - what is going on??
Tyrell Smith is in.
"Recruited by Stacy Searels"...What?
Wow, he plays foosball too? So he's a three-sport athlete?
He's showing as signed to VT by just about everyone
I wouldn't worry
They deleted the tweets from VT_Football too. The plot thickens...
Maybe we could sneak him past the NCAA dudes and suit him up for the FSU Bball game tonight?
Anyone else concerned that he suddenly disappeared from the hokiesports.com ticker and isn't on the LOI signing roster? The list goes from "2 of 20" to "20 of 20" - hopefully just a technical glitch? Can anyone ease my paranoia?
UPDATE: 1 of 20 is now Tyrell Smith and Isaiah Ford has been removed from hokiesports.com ticker. Oh my poor blood pressure...
Ford is removed from the Hokie Sports ticker....
You're forgetting Melvin Keihn
We just got our best basketball recruit!

So thats 2pm Icelandic time, right?
Uh oh, Isaiah Ford removed from Hokie Sports NSD Ticker...
I almost choked on my cereal.
Sorry for hurting someones feelings?

Thats what I'm guessing. Looks like someone in the Athletic Dept jumped the gun after the LOI was received when he wanted to wait to make it known to the world.
