BREAKING: Virginia Tech QB Dylan Wittke has entered the transfer portal#Hokies pic.twitter.com/vOhDHiKwfI— Kolby Crawford (@kolby_crawford) April 17, 2024
Another spot opens up for the Hokies to fill this fall
Helped themselves:
1) Keyshawn Burgos
2) Lance Williams
3) Jason Abbey (especially with the injury to CJ McCray)
4) Ja Riccous Hariston
5) PJ Prioleau
6) Malachi Madison
7) Deric Dandy
Disappointing day
1) Kevin Gilliam and Wilfred Pene
2) Entire linebacking group
3) Armani Cotman
4) Layth Ghannam
5) Parker Clements (in pass protection, was fine run blocking)
Scrimmage format and team distribution makes it difficult to assess:
1) Aeneas Peebles (didn't have a strong two gap next to him, making him vulnerable to being trappped.)
2) Corners (lots of basic zones, with throws targeting linebackers)
3) Backup QBs
VT wins. obligatory:

Who's gonna be in Blacksburg this weekend?
Interestingly enough I will be in town this weekend and walking around on Saturday, but probably not actually attending the game itself since I'll be with some people who mostly don't care for football, as part of an alumni fundraiser for a student organization i was involved in. and a great chance to show Mrs Chumps around the area for the first time.
We had already heard about Cam Phillips, who they are formalizing as a Graduate Assistant along with Brayden Devault-Smith, who was a GA at UT-Martin last season. He played football at Vanderbilt and Samford.
Most substantial was the addition of Mike Moyseenko as an Offensive Analyst who will be focused on film study, data analysis as well as scouting and game planning. Played at Maryland and in 16 years on the coaching side has stops at Maryland, Towson, Shepherd, UConn, Lehigh and Hamilton College.
Excited for this Opportunity!! 🦁🔵🟡#Rise25 pic.twitter.com/vogAulkQQR— Jack Tyler (@JackInTheBox58) April 8, 2024
Well... like the US election cycles... a full reseating year is once again upon us.
Curious to hear from our local east-standers in terms of what they plan on doing with the new (larger) student section. Will that impact your east vs west selection?
Also, what date is everyone getting? I was quite surprised that ticket selection opens on April 9 and my date is May 15. When looking at the Hokie Point system online, I'm in he top 10-15%. One month to get through ~10% seems like a long time!

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.
NIL fundraiser! Mixture between physical items and experiences
Free shoes u and Clemson to join big10 in 2025. In talks with notre dame also
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.— Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) March 18, 2024
