Looking back a couple years on 247 sports recruiting for our team I wanted to dig a little bit deeper into the recruiting and find out exactly how often these so called "star" ratings and stuff like that panned out. So first I looked back to 2010
http://virginiatech.247sports.com/Season/2010-Football/Commits
The ratings weren't very accurate in 2010 because in my opinion at least I feel that 4 of the top 5 out of that class production wise were 3 star rated or lower
Chase Williams
Kyle Fuller
Detrick Bonner
Derrick Hopkins
Now lets check out 2011
http://virginiatech.247sports.com/Season/2011-Football/Commits
I would say for the most part they got the ratings right in 2011 except for the snubs of Luther Maddy and Ryan Malleck who were both rated 3 stars.
to add with Maddy and Malleck to round out the top 5 of this class I would add
Kyshoen Jarrett
Corey Marshall
Ronny Vandyke
Now take a look at 2012
http://virginiatech.247sports.com/Season/2012-Football/Commits
2012 was a little tougher to read they missed on a couple but at the top Ken has proved his 4 star rating well deserved so far.
AND OBVIOUSLY JC COLEMAN!! I mean come on he has incredible heart he is the true definition of a Hokie he was buried on the depth chart he could have easily shut him self down and not stayed mentally prepared for this shot but man he's helped a lot lately for sure.
Here is a look at 2013
http://virginiatech.247sports.com/Season/2013-Football/Commits
2013 was really deep some seemed to be better than their ratings and others definitely held true on their's as well
Kendall Fuller 5 star
Wyatt Teller 4 star
Bucky Hodges 4 star
they were the obvious ones and then the hidden gems were
Deon Newsome
Kalvin Cline
Jonathan McLaughlin
all three had 3 star ratings
Lastly we take a look at 2014
http://virginiatech.247sports.com/Season/2014-Football/Commits
If 2014 follows suit like the past 3 classes this class is going to turn out very nice for the Good Guys
A lot of talent for sure Cam Phillips, Isaiah Ford, Marshawn Williams, Shai Mckenzie, and I guess the hidden gem of this class so far would have to be Greg Stroman he's an excellent punt returner, I wish they would find a way to get him more involved in the game he's a gamechanger with that speed.
