Virginia Tech 2013 Recruiting Target List

[EvanGWatkins]

Halfway though the year Bucky Hodges has played in 5 games, thrown for 765 yards and 9 TD vs 2 INT

 

[EvanGWatkins]

David Prince, Tim Harris, Khris Wilson and Holland Fisher are expected at the Miami game

Oren Burks will also be here. He is teammates with VanDyke at South County. No offers yet but heavy interest from VT and UVA. VT is the favorite.

Almost forgot, Lewis Neal will be here this weekend too! He is going to be a big time DE next year out of NC. Currently only holds an offer from NC State but that will change...

 

[EvanGWatkins]

Awesome, I didn't know Burks was going to be there, I think he may get an offer very soon. Never heard of Neal, hopefully we can get involved early

 

[VT_Football_Fan]

Burks had an awesome visit. He came with Devin VanDyke and a 2013 DE named Jeremy Haynes. Burks much more likely to get an offer but you never know.

Lewis Neal posted on twitter: "Just got back from VT. That was the loudest game I've ever been too!! And I swear I didn't know I had fans!! Today was too good of a day!!"

He doesn't have an offer yet but I like this kid. Think he will probably be rated in that 3-4 star range depending on camps.

AWESOME NEWS!!!

The momentum we have in recruiting right now is fantastic!!

 

[EvanGWatkins]

How does Lewis Neal not have an offer yet???

 

[jermadams]

Pretty sure as soon as we offer Ryheem Lockley...he will commit...talked to his old HS coach who drove him up for the visit...sounds like he wants to come to vt BAD...likely our first commit of 2013...6' 4" 217 athlete...likely safety or wr..plays at a real small school tho..already has a uva offer

Sent in his tape on Monday so hopefully he will get an offer this week...

Also he is apparently very close with Trey Edmunds which never hurts I think he will give a verbal as soon as offered...

He will get one. Not many offers go out by VT this early. UVA is a different story.

Michael Parker has told several people that his top 3 in order are VT-Tennessee-UVA.

RB Derrick Green is leaning towards going out of state.

I know a lot can change over the course of 12-18 months but last spring from his own mouth "i love it hear (VT) it already feels like home".

 

[EvanGWatkins]

I bet we lock down some big 2013 recruits fairly early

 

[EvanGWatkins]

We should offer half of the starting OL for Manchester HS...

 

[jermadams]

Michael Parker's whole family was rocking VT gear at the spring game...i def. love our chances with him!

Christian Hackenberg lists Tennessee as a very clear favorite. Lot of good QB prospects next year... hope we dont strike out.

I don't think he was considering us that much. This is a bigger blow to UVA since he was high on their list.

We are in great shape with Bucky Hodges and Wilton Speight. Ryan Burns will probably go out of state. Corwin Cutler, Carlis Parker, and Riley Ferguson are other names to keep an eye on. I think we'll end up taking two, most likely the first two.

I have to believe we will get a good one next year, Hodges probably being at the top of the list. By the time a kid would get on campus and possibly get through a redshirt season (assuming LT sticks around for a senior season and/or Leal gets a year or so under center) he would have an opportunity to start as a sophomore at the very least. I am sure the coaching staff will be telling these '13 QB's just that..
