Very pleased with this! I like this kid and the JMU steal, both are going to be beasts in the middle of the DL and have lots of playing time!
Ricky Walker is in
They have 3 and we were content with fielding a supreme sub-par offense for years because we thought we were simply good enough.
Its really not that difficult a decision for a recruit, but it HURTS. Need to change this philosophy that its great to be in the running with these guys. We need to CLOSE these guys.
You wrote and posted an article about him roughly 8 seconds after his commitment/signing. Very impressive.
The fact that you wrote this before and just now posted it is a much less badass possibility that I'm choosing to ignore.
Ricky Walker is in for the good guys.
Ricky Walker is in!
5 seconds...
Isiah Mckenzie signed with Georgia... good for Georgia... just wait to the very last second don't even have the kid visit and snatch'em up. *Golf Clap*
MINOR! YES!
Ha, our campus is opening late today and that's the only reason I'm here right now. Waiting on McKenzie's announcement before I head off.
Well, it'll stop in 5 minutes, I gotta get to work...lol
That would be Der-rick. Now take your ass down to O'Shag-hennessy's office.
Steals? Quite frankly, I don't know why anyone is surprised. If a recruit wants to win, wants to be the best, why wouldn't they go with the most recent national championship team?
And who could blame them for doing that?
Yea, we definitely have an echo going on, don't we?
Raymon Minor has signed with the Hokies!
Minor is in!!
This made my day. Well played, Andy.

I knew it was Tyrod. He still does everything for our offense.
This is still going to be our best and most complete class in years. And all those stars that UVa has collected over the last few years have amounted to fewer wins than fans at their spring game.

# | Read and React: "National Signing Day: Cavs' Mike London looks beyond high school coaches to cultivate Virginia Beach pipeline" Awesome article. I've seen this referenced on TKP a bunch but this really explained it well. I think the biggest take away is that right now it's legal to work through these "third-party coaches", but it really shouldn't be. Stinespring said it pretty well (yeah i just said that):
When people have the opportunity to influence and theres no accountability to what they say or do, thats a tremendous concern.
NCAA really needs to look further into this. I hope other schools bring this to their attention so a formal investigation into the process as a whole takes place.
And how on earth do you sell these kids into going to a 6 win in 2 seasons school??
Let's all be honest. Us failing to sign nandi had a lot less to do with our recruiting ability than it did with the most recent crystal ball handed out. Let's not be too hard on ourselves
And then Santa gifts you a Billy Ray Mitchell with a spectacular hair cut.....and the healing begins.
YOU DONE MESSED UP DERRICK!
Billy Ray Mitchell on why he chose Tech.
"I've been a lifelong Virginia Tech fan, and it was a pretty easy decision. I loved it when I visited and my parents loved it when I visited, and I felt comfortable there. I used to watch them on TV growing up, and Tyrod Taylor [former Virginia Tech quarterback] was one of my favorite players in college growing up."
Thank you, Tyrod.
Man French, you type fast.
But I love the pre-prepared recruit information for signing day. They sign, you read up about them. TKP is great.
