Recruiting is really turning around. I expect the Hokies to get back to their 10 win ways soon.
Looks like we were that daunted middle hat as it turns out! Welcome to Hokie Nation, Shai!!

Awesome get. We are starting to pile up offensive talent
On that note, who was his primary recruiter?
Welcome to Hokie Nation Shai! If he had not gotten injured he would of been close to a 5 star. Dude is gonna be a great one!

Hot damn! Things are looking bright for the Hokies, Frank said this is his best recruiting staff ever and it's sure looking that way!
Welcome to the Hokie Nation, Shai!
Great news! Welcome to Hokie Nation, Shai! Let's hope that ACL gets back to 100% quickly so you can hit the field and set some records.
Living here in Pittsburgh, I saw Shai play last year (2012) against South Fayette (PA's AA State Champion this year), and he torched them. He's the real deal. Excellent vision, runs hard and low. He was Washington High's offense and they struggled after he got hurt this year.
Gonna be a Hokie boner flavored weekend. Now lets get VCU!
I was well prepared. We have been keeping an eye on his recruitment for a long time. Nnadi, Keihn, Minor, and lock up Harrison and then WIN THE WHOLE DAMN THING.
They can't enforce it, but if the school is aware and makes no effort to get the fans to cease and desist they can punish the school for fostering an atmosphere of non-compliance.
Basically leave the recruiting to the coaches.
Wow, French, you write really quickly! He just committed a minute ago!
Looks like he is in according to Twitter, Coming to the Hokies, Welcome to the family

I stand corrected. This is the second time in my life I've been wrong. I'm so ashamed.
This is just another example of the NCAA being the stupidest bureaucracy on the planet. How idiotic to make a rule that it KNOWS it won't be able to enforce.
WHAT'S A HOKIE? 🦃

# | Senior Writer for ESPN's RecruitingNation Jeremy Crabtree's take on VT Recruiting He called us Va. Tech. I have no respect for anything he said. (Pet peeve, sorry not sorry)
Sigh...I cleared my calendar from 1:00 -1:30 so i could celebrate/cry. I have a meeting at 1:30. This isnt good.

Apparently the announcement won't be until 1:30 according to rivals.
This is my perspective on this silly issue. If you're going to make these bold statements, show the wording of the NCAA rulebook that specifies these as recruiting violations:
As of 9:30 p.m. Thursday night, 172 people had retweeted it, and dozens more responded with things like Boomer! and Boomer Sooner!
All. NCAA. Violations.Bottom line: Tweeting at recruits is, beyond the shadow of a doubt, an NCAA violation.
Maybe this author is right. Maybe the NCAA rulebook is written in a way that says all forms of communication is illegal. I doubt it, and I'm pretty sure the rulebook is generic enough that any terrible lawyer could prove that a simple tweet is not a violation. A specific tweet stating, "you should come to VT and I'll pay you money." Yea, that's probably a violation. But saying, "Go Hokies," in a tweet is not anything specific and easily arguable to not be encouragement.
Not even close.
