This is not a post to poke fun at Bennett. It is more of a question of eligibility.

My perception is that most of Tech's athletes receive their degrees in 3 years. Mostly due to the fact they are attending classes in the fall/spring/summer. Anyone who had been around for 6 years I would expect to either have multiple undergraduate or a masters.

Are their shenanigans going down at Georgia?

For those who don't follow, Kelley Ford created KFord Power Rankings. I think I found him on r/cfbanalytics or in the moon crew discord a few years ago (don't recall). I'm not as familiar with his methodology as I am with Bill C/SP+, so I need to do a bit of research and circle back, but it's the offseason, and I don't feel like actually working, so I decided to share.

Preseason Projections

Welcome back, @Coach_JJ_Fball 👋James Johnson will return to Blacksburg as our Director of High School Relations!📝: https://t.co/cbSSWImCB0#ThisIsHome pic.twitter.com/AoK3bBW2WH— Virginia Tech Football (@HokiesFB) May 9, 2023

At first I thought this was a Mike Young hire.

Any TKPers heading out to Hardywood in Richmond to hear Pry tonight? I will be heading out there shortly.

How about any of the other upcoming stops?

Strike one more player from the #Hokies roster: WR Christian Moss won't be back. Virginia Tech's sitting at 82 scholarships right now, with three to play with in the transfer portal.Will have more from a sitdown with Brent Pry in a little bit.— Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) May 2, 2023

Figured I'd start a post highlighting who's going where as UDFA signees and rookie camp invitees. Here's what I've seen so far:

OL Silas Dzansi - Tampa Bay Buccaneers - UDFA
WR Jadan Blue - Chicago Bears - Camp Invite
TE Connor Blumrick - Kansas City Chiefs - Camp Invite
LB Dax Hollifield - Jacksonville Jaguars - Camp Invite

Not a name I thought would have gone in the portal. Figured he had a good shot of being in the two deep. The #Hokies do have a wave of young corners coming into the program, though. https://t.co/gzfGdh3ggg— Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) May 1, 2023

Virginia Tech's Kyree Moyston and Jalen Hoyle are in the transfer portal@VTScoop247 @247SportsPortal— EvanGWatkins247 (@EvanGWatkins247) April 29, 2023

Pretty sure this puts us right at the 85 limit. Expect a couple more to make room for transfers.

Little bit surprised about Moyston... DE is definitely a position of need and where pt should be available. *shrug*

Chiefs just took Conner in 4th Round at pick 119.

Nice landing spot for Conner.

Little earlier than most projections who had him as 6th-7th Rounder.

Think Conner really turned some heads with a very solid Combine performance.
-40 yd Dash: 4.51
-Vertical: 40.5"
-Bench: 20 reps

Hope he balls out in the NFL and repersents VT well.

I thought something was up. I couldn't find them listed with the Spring Game stuff and their site was unreachable last week when I was looking for some new Tech Gear.

Figured there'd be some movement in what was a very full (and remade) WR room. Wright seemed on the cusp last year with sporadic standout practice days, then got hurt. Unofficially, I've got the #Hokies at 86 scholarships now. Obviously more attrition coming. https://t.co/hsBMErun7A— Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) April 27, 2023

Here's the one we've been waiting for.

Another VT player has hit the transfer portal, per ⁦@EvanGWatkins247⁩ QB Devin Farrell intends to transfer. Tahj Bullock entered this morning. That's two QBs leaving the program. https://t.co/MvrWQJ6Etk— VTScoop247 (@VTScoop247) April 24, 2023

There's the suspected 2nd QB in portal. Best of luck to Devin in his future endeavors!
