Keep up-to-date with Tech commits and targets.
Ellison's top three are Virginia Tech, Penn State and Maryland. His commitment announcement somewhat came out of the blue.

Edit: And he committed to PSU.
Koma spoke with 2016 DeMatha Catholic wide receiver Tino Ellis Tuesday night. It's a Virginia Tech-Maryland race to the finish, and he's keeping whether it's the Hokies or Terps close to the vest.
Just checked in with #Hokies 2016 WR target Tino Ellis. Says he has indeed made his decision, but "keeping it in the dark for now."— Alex Koma (@AlexKomaVT) June 23, 2015
The love affair began back when Eric Kumah was a freshman. Though he wasn't yet the playmaking receiver known for winning jump balls and outrunning defenders, a Virginia Tech-affiliated Web site noted Kumah's potential by listing him as a player to watch in the 2016 class.
Ever since then, Kumah has had his eye on the Hokies, spurring a recruiting process that culminated Friday with the Forest Park rising senior committing to Virginia Tech during a ceremony.
Gilman School (Baltimore, MD) product Ellison Jordan released his top three tonight.
Jalen was a big time target for the Hokies. Elliott was on a visit to Notre Dame when he verballed. Shane Beamer having a really rough go recruiting in Richmond as of late.

Virginia Tech recruited Alexander hard. Sizable miss.
I've officially committed to The University of Nebraska! I can't wait to be a Husker! #GBR #Huskers — Quayshon Alexander (@KinG_QuaY_23) June 19, 2015
Down to 4 schools, VT, MD, Miami, NC State. Here's to the Hokies landing him as he is a huge priority along with Denmark and Tino Ellis.

Virginia Tech should be in this race until the end.
Time to narrow down to 5, here you go
The Hokies are busy sending out a bevy of offers once again, with the latest going to Williamsburg OLB Chase Pine of Lafayette HS.
2016 OLB Chase Pine says #Hokies offered him today. He received the offer from Cornell Brown and is planning on returning to Tech soon.— Alex Koma (@AlexKomaVT) June 10, 2015
First ODU is hosting a satellite camp with Penn State on June 18
Next year, they will host Jim Harbaugh and Michigan
Coach Bobby Wilder said he reached out nearly a month ago to first-year Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh and that they have spoken about half a dozen times since.
"We really wanted to do one this summer but just couldn't get a date that worked for both of us," Wilder said.
Jackson visited Virginia Tech this weekend.
I will be announcing my commitment this Thursday...— Josh Jackson (@joshiejack17) June 7, 2015
To all student athletes, recruits, and graduate transfers looking for a State Of the Art in-door practice facility to perfect their craft year around, the Virginia Tech Hokies is the place to be. When it is completed in early July, the Hokies will be able to offer student athletes something they cannot get anywhere else: a gigantic luxurious in-door practice facility.

Haskins is a talented prospect, and he's embraced being the next face of Maryland's program. Keep an eye out to see if he gains any traction with convincing other top DMV recruits in this cycle and beyond to join him at Maryland.
I haven't analyzed all the numbers, and there are a lot of 2015 recruits poised to step on campus this summer. But the 2016 recruiting cycle is in full swing. Just at a quick glance it appears WR, DE, and OT seem to be the positions of need. Who are Tech's most likely "gets" at these positions? How many of each will they bring in? Which five star guy will (or maybe won't???) break our hearts on/near signing day? There are always a lot of names and offers floating around out there but I'm curious about which of these guys will Tech actually land, and who is Tech recruiting the hardest? Any other dire need positions?
anybody have any info on how this past weekend went with basketball jucos on campus and whats to be expected this weekend with the spring game recruits? should we expect any commits saturday?
with AM at A&M, is "chopping wood" done? What are the codes for recruiting action? I noticed this tweet from Guerry

There's my Top 10 pic.twitter.com/H8YfXOm5gd— VI-XIX-XXIII (@Eric_Kumah11) April 5, 2015
Kumah was very high on Virginia Tech back in January: http://www.thekeyplay.com/virginia-tech-football-recruiting/2015/01/8496....
I went down the rabbit hole during lunch today and wound up on the 22 person recruiting class the Hokies signed in 2011 (http://virginiatech.247sports.com/Season/2011-Football/Commits). Only four members established themselves as entrenched starters over their career, and only 5 more have a chance to do so this season. Over half the class is already a bust either because of injury (bust is a harsh way to put it), transfer, legal or on-field performance.

TigerNet interviewed Hokies DB commit Kareem Felder, and it seems like his recruitment is still wide open.
http://www.tigernet.com/story/football/Felder-talks-Clemson-offer-wantin...
Felder claims a top three of Virginia Tech, Ohio State and Clemson and there are things that he likes about all three.
