Recruiting
Keep up-to-date with Tech commits and targets.
Purdue DE Commit to visit VT
Chazmyn Turner , 2/3 star DE prospect who is committed to Purdue will take an official visit to VT on the 30th.
Apparently he did really well at the NC-SC Shrine Bowl and raised his stock a bit. Vanderbilt, WVU and VT have all showed interest, but have not offered yet.
My guess is an offer will follow after the visit but we'll have to wait and see.

(Slightly) OT: We Should Recruit This Kid, Muhammad Ali's Grandson
No clue how to evaluate talent, but the kid seems fast and hard to tackle. Besides, how sweet would it be to have the grandson of a sports legend like Ali as a Hokie.

VT 2016 QB Commit Logan Byrd's Junior Season Highlights
The play at 1:15 when he just trucks a dude. He's definitely fast and decisive enough to be effective on the zone read. There seems to be plenty of zip on the ball when he needs it, and he's quite accurate with his ball placement, especially outside of the pocket.

Should high school kids and college athletes be allowed to have an agent?
Should high school kids and college athletes be allowed to have an agent? Not being allowed to seek professional advice while sharks are swimming the waters after these kids seems fundamentally wrong. I know some agents may be scum, but do the negatives outweigh the positives?
Honest thoughts?
