Virginia Tech 2012 Recruiting Target List

[VT_Football_Fan]

BTW Drew Harris is up to 215. Rivals needs updating...

 

[VT_Football_Fan]

Someone mention that on here before (vt_football_fan i think) and imo that is prob his best chance at early PT.

Thats right. Thats been the plan all along. Mangus will open up our usually conservative offense...

 

[VT_Football_Fan]

Harris seems to have been banged up at his last game. There was some worry it was his ACL but that doesn't seem to be the case. Something to watch and pray for this season.

Welcome Drew Harris!!!!

Nothing better than coming home from TOTS Tuesday and finding out about this gem. This made my night more than the rail did.

 

[EvanGWatkins]

Amazing news to wake up to!

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Huge surprise!

Huge get!

Our running back stable is loaded.

Let's keep working Caleb And Kirven and hope for the best, maybe add another receiver and lineman and this class will be one of our best ever!

 

[EvanGWatkins]

What are the chances we hear some good things from Caleb this weekend? Heard he and his parents are coming in for the game and that he may be getting "tired" of the recruiting scene.

EDIT: Also our Boy J.C. "Unofficial Recruiter" Coleman will be at the game no doubt in his ear the whole time.

 

[EvanGWatkins]

OK so this is a huge recruiting weekend. Looks like Jarontay Jones, JC Coleman, Joel Caleb, Chris Mangus (anyone else?)

and for 2013 we will have Tim Harris and possibly Kendall Fuller

Big Weekend!

Sweet!! We may have a flashback of the Suggs/Jones and Williams/Evans year(s) in a couple more years. Great running back talent in the class. Now we just need some more big uglies to block for them.

We already have four OLs in the Class of 2012 if you include Benedict, the transfer from UGA, who is sitting out this year. They will replace the four OLs who will graduate at the end of this year: Dechristopher, Brooks, Nosal and Lanier.

Here's the list of 2012 OLs:

Conte
Taraschke
Willenbrock
Benedict (transfer from UGA)

I doubt that we add more than one additional OL for this class, if that.

R*** has us as the 11th ranked recruiting class in the country, with the #1 RB class and #5 LB class.

Interestingly, three of our best four chances to get a 3* guy bumped to 4 are in those two positions as well (Vandyke, Mangus, Blue).

 

[EvanGWatkins]

I really hope that JC can get in early with Manning, Irick (if he can) and Tookes. I know it is very difficult to EE from a VA school because of the SOL but hopefully he can do it. I would love to have 4 come in early and count towards last year to free up some space.

I think we get Caleb, Kirven and an outside shot at Jones to fill out the class. We will probably offer some late guys like we did last year to prep.

 

[EvanGWatkins]

Any idea if Cyrus Jones is coming to any games on an official this year?

 

[HokieGhost]

I think Cyrus Jones has already taken his official visit. It was on the weekend of September 16th for the Arkansas State game.

Ah you are right, for some reason I thought that was an unofficial but it was official.

There are rumors floating around that Harris tore his ACL recently, however his father is refuting them saying that he is fine, anyone else hearing this?

QUOTE:

Reports came out this weekend that PA RB Drew Harris tore an ACL and would miss the remainder of the season. Penn State isn't likely to land Harris, though the Lions are gaining ground. However, the ubiquitous Sean Fitz put those reports to bed, stating that Harris' injury reports were not true, according to his father. The extent of Harris' injury, if any, is unknown at this point.

....and still more...

@Lions247 Lions247
Just spoke with Drew Harris, Sr., who informed me that rumors that his son tore his ACL this weekend are not true.

 

[EvanGWatkins]

Some info on our FUMA guys: Hall and Lockhart are attending FUMA and both plan to enroll at VT in January if they can get their grades up to qualify. They are each taking 1-2 classes to get their grades up and retaking their SAT and ACT.

Lockhardt has 3 TD's already, Hall had to have minor meniscus surgery but will be back full speed soon.

Shuman compares Lockhardt to Royal and I hope he is right!

Hate to quote my own post but 2013 ATH DJ Reid may be in town for the Clemson game
