While everyone wants every 4 or 5 star recruit to come to there school the reality is not everyone is going to pick you school, it makes no sense to project that a kid will not be a star at another school yet be a star at VT.
I'll second that ^^^ we need some good WRs

# | RECRUITING, RECRUITING, RECRUITING, RECRUITING, RECRUITING, ..., RECRUITING Congratulations Koren Kirven on your decision.. Now you can go to Alabama and play about 20 snaps your entire career. You will maybe see the field your senior year playing behind truly elite, bigger, faster and stronger defensive lineman. Oh yeah, you probably will get a ring but is that how you want to get it. I fear you will waste your career. Good luck. I truly do wish all VA boys the best. Thats what us country VA boys call pride and not selling out. Philip Sims anyone??????
1) How many 18-year-old kids are going to turn down Saban, the rings, and the NFL. He doesn't lose many recruiting battles.
2) We have a ton of depth along the defensive line. It was a miss for sure, but it's not a position of need for this class.
3) While you, and I'm sure a lot of other Hokies are going to be pissed, just wish Kirven (or any other kid) the best. They've earned it. Oversigning jokes aside, how many kids get a scholarship to Tech, Bama, or any other school? Very few. They're making a decision that they think is best for them and their families, and while you or anyone else may disagree, it's ultimately their choice and should be respected.
FFFFFFF YESSSSSSSS
Can't confirm yet though.
It seemed going in that Kirven was by far the most up for grabs, so I can't say I'm surprised. If we lose Caleb to WVU, or Ekanem to god knows who...that would be deflating to say the least.

These are the losses that are hard to bear. Getting Caleb will make this an easier pill to swallow, but NOTHING is guaranteed.
Fuck Saban and the damn tide.
It can only get better from here, right?
Made an F ton of calls and visits the last month to catch up on anyone else they've deemed fit. Im sure those two wouldnt be a total loss.
Would pretty much go against a lot of what you hear is important in recruiting such as building relationships if he just decide to choose UCLA. From this tweet https://twitter.com/#!/yoshiJS/status/164522948126973952 doesn't seem like he knows much about the coaches or the school at all.
Really would like Josh Stanford to join as he would have a great chance to compete for playing time in 2013 imo.
Think he was just getting the UCLA hat for his ceremony to be able to select the hat he wants, hopefully one with a VT.
So, let's say Blue and Stanford defect. Do the Beamers have any gems, a la Luther Maddy and Dadi Nichols, hidden up their sleeves? What does Atlantic High have to offer this year?
UM still hasn't offered and will only offer if Reggie Northrup flips to FSU. So if Northrup flips from UM to FSU, and Blue flips from VT to UM, then VT should be able to pry a LB from FSU. Sweet, that means VT will get Ukeme Eligwe.

# | RECRUITING, RECRUITING, RECRUITING, RECRUITING, RECRUITING, ..., RECRUITING West Boca linebacker Jawand Blue will announce his college decision tomorrow on @ESPN760 at 12:40. #Canes #Hokies http://www.espn760.com

Thats what I don't understand. He's a good kid, but to me it sounds like UCLAorDie is taking the Mike London approach. "Be apart of something new" ordeal. Nonetheless, I'm pretty nervous about Kirven. Part of me says yes, part of me says we don't get him. Fingers crossed. First class is at 11 tomorrow, hope I awaken to good news.
Meanwhile, some Michigan 'fan' on YouTube is showing his colors degrading VT. /rant
if he chooses UCLA. Great basketball school, terrible football school. The stadium is forever away from campus, it's never full, and the students don't care.
Living in SoCal for the past 3 years, there is only two football schools that matter: USC and Oregon. All other PAC-12 schools have pathetic football fans. No passion.
Then again, he should like the weather and girls. Depends, does he like football, or would he prefer the who cares SoCal lifestyle?
His twitter looks like he was trying to go to Lids to get a UCLA hat.
And UCLAorDie is doing nothing but tweeting recruits tonight. Interesting.

# | RECRUITING, RECRUITING, RECRUITING, RECRUITING, RECRUITING, ..., RECRUITING Has been consistent with what we've been hearing behind the scenes, and really what Kirven has said all along, that he's not sure. I wouldn't have posted it otherwise.
And now because I know you were joking I award you one Internet point and this somewhat unrelated gif.
but ok. 2 of 3.
Lets be real...1 of 3 is what we should truly expect tomorrow. Unless Shane has really stepped up to the plate... and I hope he has.
I have been following recruiting for too many years to not know how signing day usually works out for us...
Joshua Stanford.
he is considering.
In all likelihood, Blue will get his wish, and stay in S. Florida. Those Hurricanes, oh well, at least they have the late 80s and early 90s...
