Keep up-to-date with Tech commits and targets.
After this week's class, I put together a box plot of VT recruiting classes over the years:
What stood out to me was that Pry is raising the floor:
For those that are just coming to this thread, it's a little busier than usual. I did a live watch and typed my takeaways from Pry's portion in the comments below. The other interviews I watched later and typed the key points in the body of this post. Thanks for everyone who followed along for putting up with my typos and a diaper change break.
All of the press conferences are now embedded in the post, but here's the link to the HokieSports ESD page for review.

And it looks like he knows a thing or two about Blacksburg already.

This thread will capture all players coming home to Blacksburg via the transfer portal. I'll update this thread periodically as players announce they are taking their talents to Southbeachwest VA.

Link Here. Whit Interview starts at about the 8 minute mark, goes until the 30 min mark. As always, my summary below is my interpretation. I recommend listening because you may hear a different message than I did 🤷♂️

I'd love to do a fully researched post about this but, work + toddler means I don't quite have the time. However, I'm curious everyone's opinion as I have been thinking about this with portal season upon us. Would you prefer Virginia Tech to pursue G5 players who outplayed their school/recruiting ranking and are looking to move up or would you prefer highly touted 4*/5* players that are looking to drop down from an Alabama/Clemson/OSU type of school because they maybe weren't quite good enough or got passed over. I know everyone's circumstance would be a little different and maybe in the end there is no preference, just go get the players that fit VT the best but I'm curious at a macro/50,000 foot view what the preferences would be.
Using this thread to capture all players leaving Virginia Tech via the transfer portal. I'll update this thread periodically as players announce they are leaving.
