Virginia Tech 2012 Recruiting Target List

[EvanGWatkins]

what is the deal with Romond Deloatch from Pheobus HS? 6'4" WR from the #30 football program in the USA. Has offers from Cincinnati, Marshall, Temple and ECU.

Seems like VT and UVA would at least have some interest, he is a 3*.

He won't be getting an offer from either, from what I have been hearing, but I don't know the kid and don't want to speculate.

I am pretty sure that our next commit may be coming as part of the 2013 class, and he does not have an official offer yet. The guys left for 2012 may well wait out and announce at all-star games.

Yea I think we will be hearing from some 2013 before another 2012

Look at the schools who offered. What do they all have in common? A pretty low GPA requirement.

FWIW if VT and UVA both offered, he'd be a Hokie.

Is prepping not an option? Prep and grayshirt? People were talking about his talent in the office today, I didn't know what was keeping UVA and VT from offering

rivals lists eli harold's gpa as 2.5 so deloach's must be pretty awful...

HAA not a surprise.

Besides UVA won't offer until we do. That's how they operate

Thats being generous.... And remember Phoebus and Ocean Lakes aren't exactly academic powerhouses. Don't ever let UVA try that bullshit excuse about tough admission standards.

One of our smartest student athletes actually came from Phoebus, Xavier Adibi....

...of course his father WAS a professor of molecular biology, ha ha.

Conte has been given the option of coming in during the summer or January of 13 and is leaning toward January but will re-evaluate his options after the season.

I'm hoping he grayshirts. I actually think every O-Lineman should grayshirt unless they have the size an ability to start day one. It seems very few OL start in their first 2 years. Grayshirting gives them that extra year of eligibility, and they can spend the semester bulking up to play at the next level. Of course, most of the time it's more of a personal choice, not always a football choice.

Kirven will be headed to Tennessee this weekend. Still not sold on him being a "VT-lock".

Apparently we aren't the only ones still after Crawley. Miami, UGA, Michigan and Texas Tech are trying to get a decommit too. IMO we screwed the pooch on him in the first place. He WAS a "VT-lock" but we took too many DBs. Kenny will be a stud.

He may be headed to Tenn but may not go and go to Wake to see the Wake vs VT game according to his dad

I wonder if Boye is working on him? We should get JC to contact him

Hes been to both Tenn and Wake this year already. Guess we wait and see!

Things are looking very encouraging. He'll go visit Alabama again, but there's a reason he keeps visiting VT.

Is this the decommit you were referring to earlier?
