A few days ago I think, I saw it on the Hokies News on TSL...

I believe within the last week. He said that if he had to choose a school right now it would be Auburn because of how familiar he is with the staff, but he isn't making a decision any time soon. Tennessee will be a factor, as will VT in the end.

ok some how i must have missed that. I hope im wrong but all along i've heard that he is getting a real heavy push toward tennessee from family, friends, etc. Im not real concerned with defensive backfield recruiting, thats one place on the field where i feel like if kid 1a doesnt want to play here kid 1b would love to.

Isn't Holsey being recruited to play both ways? Would love to have him in O&M and not at UTENN

Yes, but his ideal position is DB which I'm sure the coaches will tell him. I think the both ways is to allow him the choice, but they'll push for DB.

Here's on article about Tenn sniffing for interest from Tookes. It also has a nice highlight video of him at the bottom of the page.

Anyone have a general idea of how many recruits will be at the spring game this weekend? Also, who are the big ones that might be there? I think we walk away with 1-2 commits after this weekend...

Right now, it's close to 75 recruits of confirmed guys. Could be more.

Biggest names are Stefon Diggs and Darius Hamilton.

Is there any place where I can get a list of the recruits confirmed they are coming? Is Day coming in with Harley?

Kyle Tucker had a modified list on his blog earlier, but he may have taken it down since he basically copied and pasted it from Hokiehaven. Not sure if it's still up, I'll see.

[amszete]

Thanks for providing that - VERY good info.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Unfortunately the Stadnik boys will not be making it up....

As for Hokes:

Flowers
Hall
Adibi
Vick
Randall
Smith
Royal
Chancellor...

...probably a bunch more

I wonder if Tyrod, Ru and Darren will be there?

 

[amszete]

So if we were to try and pinpoint a single source which can be attributed to setting this weekend as being a big recruiting deal and creating a level of excitement with all of this, who would it be? SB?

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

The coaching changes as a whole. Both the addition of Brown and beamer and the overall change in philosophy among the coaches.

If you wanted to pinpoint it on one singe thong though.....


....Curtis Grant

 

[amszete]

Well I am glad to see this kind of fire around the team. I have always been excited about VT football, but this year is different. But I have to go back to 2005 when I was THIS excited / stoked about all things VT football.

LOL at the typo 46. But I'm sure Hokie fans have called Curtis Grant much worse than a thong
