Quick Tease - French's thoughts on 2017 Virginia Tech DL Recruits

I spent a little time during a lull this evening watching some recruiting tapes. With defensive end depth a major worry spot for the Hokies, I focused on three defensive line targets that I have seen glimpses of and liked in small doses. The longer film reinforced my initial very positive thoughts.

Devon Hunter was (reportedly) close to committing to Auburn

SEC Country reported an interesting tidbit about 757 stud Devon Hunter's recruitment, Auburn was his temporary leader.

A source close to Hunter's recruitment told SEC Country that, prior to Wesley McGriff's departure, Hunter felt comfortable with his decision to select the Tigers. Once McGriff left, Auburn dropped a few pegs. Now the Tigers are working to move back into contention.

Rumors: Malik Zaire Transfer?

This may be pure speculation at this point, but this tweet is awfully cryptic. Malik Zaire coming to Virginia Tech. This would be great, especially with the rumors of Jerod going pro.

Adonis Williamson and Eric Whitehead?

Two 2015 signees who didn't qualify and went the JUCO/CC route IIRC.

I believe they had to wait two years to enroll, which is coming to an end. So has there been any recent info as to their status?

Are their offers still valid? If so, will they enroll?

Anybody heard anything?

December 2016 Recruiting Thread Part I

Hey gang,

Last night was a pretty interesting night in regards to Virginia Tech Football recruiting. Lots of recruits were active on Twitter last night and it certainly caught my attention. I just wanted to post and ask about everyone's thoughts.

To start:

Darnell Jefferies out of Covington, Georgia picked up an offer from the Hokies. Jefferies is a member of the class of 2018, and his HUDL has him listed at 6'4", 265 LBS (WOW). His tape is pretty promising as well, so I wouldn't mind this potential pickup
