Getting into VT for athletics is not very hard (seriously). You're getting a free education for playing football. Go to class, do your homework and study. Then don't bitch when your borderline an don't get in. If you have this much trouble getting in, there's a very high chance you'll never make it through. VT didn't give him the HS and prep grades.
Would love to see him wearing the orange and maroon. But if he can't qualify we'll move on without him.
looks like Wyatt Teller was told to do the same thing in his photo.
Deer antler spray!!!
I wonder how much of this involves his father's previously-stated displeasure with the paperwork snafu at Tech...
Teller is officially in.
Not sounding great:
Has good pocket sense, keeps his eyes downfield and succeeds on broken plays. Old fashioned read and react definitely needs some work though.
Are you implying something about Ole Miss's tactics given today's success?
Can someone explain to me what the Drew Harris issue is? I cannot fathom how difficult it's been to get this guy on campus! I guarantee if he was an Ole Miss recruit, he'd be on their campus already.
there's no ring on his finger.
I think the question was whether he was still obligated to come to Tech based on last year's LOI, and I'm pretty sure the answer is "no". At this point he is back in the open market, he could sign with anyone.
To commit your services to a school.
No LOI, still on the market.
wow #Hokies huge Drew Harris news about to be dropped on .@vtscoop247 not what you think, but wow!— VTScoop247 (@VTScoop247) February 6, 2013
Not sure what it means (I hate sites behind paywalls...)
EDITED: Follow up tweet
#Hokies as .@czyhokie247 reported first on .@vtscoop247 Drew Harris will not be signing his LOI today, more to come shortly.— VTScoop247 (@VTScoop247) February 6, 2013
...I almost intercepted that 10 yard out from here.
My gf went to Hanover, and his sister tweeted that he was going to be a Hokie last night. He looks like a full back to me.
Take that, Fuller family!
And I actually doubt McLaughlin did sign one since he is already enrolled.
The advantage to signing a LOI:
1. Saves your scholarship for you (not an issue for a talent like Drew Harris)
2. Allows you to be celebrated on NSD (Harris already went through that last year)
3. Shows your commitment to your school (again, last year)
Harris may send one in, but he doesn't need to. And I'm not sure Hokiesports will include him as a commitment since he was included last year. McLaughlin was not. Same thing for DJ Reid, included this year but probably won't be next year (He's almost certainly going to have to prep)

I don't expect this guy to be Tim Tebow or anything close to that, but I'm glad he's coming to Tech and think he is the type of football player that can have an unexpected/unseen impact on a team. Between Cody Grimm, Danny Coale, and Jack Tyler, you can certainly appreciate those players who just understand the game. Rogers seems to be one of those guys.
Moss just came in. We good.
Something about being part human, part dragon, part giant octopus, and a hundred meters tall or something.
Lovecraft created a blend of horror and fantasy that is called "weird fiction", a lot of which goes along the same lines.
Thumbs down. He showed up to an event in a shirt and tie and they told him to put on a jersey for a photo.
If he turns out to be the best thing we have at QB, let him play QB, but otherwise he might find playing time at other positions.
McLaughlin signed one, why doesn't Harris have to?
Facyson wants to be a heart surgeon? thats awesome.
