Because we're all Sunday morning quarterbacks.
Lots of CBP Coach speak, but some good question/answers. Pate straight up asks '18-30 year olds today may not remember that when VT is running at all cylinders, it's a national championship contender. How do you remind recruits about that?'
Fun off season fodder. Enjoy.

Yes, it's completely meaningless, but I don't care; I'm here for the offseason fodder.

Cam Phillips, after four years of bouncing around the NFL, XFL and CFL is expected to join the football staff. The role is yet to be determined but he has been seen around the facilities the last month and Pry said he is floating around until they can lock in a specific role.
Phillips was a receiver for the Hokies from 2014 to 2017.
Looks like Josh Pate is spending the day doing all things Hokies! Could be good free publicity for sure.

Fanduel recently posted futures lines at 7.5 for VT next season (source). Feels a little low given the hype train racing down the track.
What say you? O/U 7.5?
Since we just get random nuggets and few things are full thread-worthy, creating a spot for spring updates.
A quick #Hokies football note: Per VT, safety Nyke Johnson is no longer on the roster. He and the Virginia Tech staff are exploring a non-playing role for him with the program.Johnson was a 2021 signee who tore his Achilles in winter workouts last year.โ Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) March 18, 2024

Pry announced Tuesday morning that starting Will linebacker Keli Lawson, who had surgery for an undisclosed injury, will miss the 15 spring practices that begin Friday.
Star linebacker coach Shawn Quinn said on Feb. 20 that Lawson looked "great right now" during winter workouts and noted Lawson "was fresher" in the bowl win over Tulane.
Pry echoed that sentiment Tuesday.
"And Keli is really certainly a good athlete and had a great winter, let me say that," Pry said. "Low pad level, really looked ... he was working at a high level. Maybe the best I've seen him since I've been here, just knee bend and explosiveness and really had a good winter for us."
I know I'm a huge SZD stan, but I found this episode so interesting that I had to share here. They went over a variety of topics:

As the offseason moves forward thought it was time to turn over to 2024.
Looks as if Commanders are moving on from Joey Slye as they signed Brandon McManus to a one year deal.
I know nothing more, but welcome home!
Morgan was a second team ALL ACC for the Hokies in 2010. He bounced around pro football with the Jets and Eagles in the NFL and then played for the Richmond Raiders, New Orleans Voodoos, and the Richmond Roughriders before moving into coaching. He was the secondary coach at Emory and Henry and then the Pass Game Defensive Coordinator/Safeties Coach at Florida A&M where the Rattlers won last year's HBCU Championship.
