Just 2 years into building relationships back in this state. Signed 4 of the top 15 VA players this year, this will continue to grow as time goes on
Put the brakes on HS recruiting a couple weeks ago because of all of the returning players. This level of retention was a good problem to have. We don't have the space to take everyone that wants to be at Tech.

I had to join a little late, but I talked transfers and the bowl game with Pete and Robbie of the Two Deep Podcast and Doug Bowman from 24/7 last night. If you want to check it out you can watch here. I join a bit after the 15 minute mark and stay on for about an hour.
Despite starting all 12 of Ohio State's regular-season games this season, McCord entered the transfer portal just hours after it opened on Dec. 4 after being informed that Ohio State would reopen the quarterback competition for the 2024 season. McCord was seeking a guaranteed opportunity to be a starter, and he should get that at Syracuse, where current starter Garrett Shrader is set to exhaust his eligibility.
He'll be Syracuse's first starting quarterback under new head coach Fran Brown, who became Syracuse's coach earlier this month after two years as Georgia's defensive backs coach.
25yr 6A Manchester High football coach Tom Hall, a former Virginia Tech lineman and one of the winningest high school football coaches in Central Virginia with just under 200 career victories, announced at season's end that he's stepping down, time for a change.
Wonder if he'd have anything to add on Pry's team?
#Hokies coach Brent Pry said safeties Nasir Peoples (ACL) and Jalen Stroman (undisclosed) have undergone surgeries and will not play in the Military Bowl.โ Damien Sordelett (@DamienSordelett) December 16, 2023
OK, after many texts and calls, I feel confident in saying this:Following the TRO granted earlier today, the NCAA is now granting multiple-time transfers immediate eligibility through Dec. 27 (without punishing them retroactively if the court order is overturned later).โ Nicole Auerbach (@NicoleAuerbach) December 13, 2023
Well, people wanted the wild West and now we have it. All transfers, including players on their 2nd or 3rd, are granted immediate eligibility. The expectation is that the transfer market is going to see a flood of entrants over the next couple weeks.
