Rep poop.

And what took you so long J?

Sorry maybe these should move to the new poster thread.

In the morning. I am going to bed.

 

[Camfantasy]

OK, I can be here around 2-pm. Let's say then. I will talk to Ghost and set up a chat room for us.

You know a ghost????

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Shane Beamer was on Bill King this morning and I AM PUMPED. I have been listening to his show for 3+ years and I never hear anything about VT when it comes to closing out recruiting for a particular season. While Shane could not talk about recruits who are still current targets for VT's '12 class, he could talk about people already at school like JC as well as other things like his recruiting philosophy, our facilities and "what we do." Fucking BAD-ASS. I will post a link to the interview when they put it up on their site.

PS: You will need to register on Bill's site (free) to listen to it.

Way to go Shane!!!!

Here's a couple of conflicting tweets about Korren Kirven...

DT Korren Kirven parents will be coming with him on his visit to Tennessee. This is huge. Chances of landing him increase everyday

RockyTopGA Rocky Top GA
Swervin' Korren Kirven's folks are coming in for a visit on Wednesday and leaving Korren at home. This has to be a decent sign...

I guess we know for sure Kirven's parents are making a mid-week trip to Tennessee, with or without Korren. JMHO, but this will tighten up the selection process considerably, possibly giving the edge to Tennessee.

Tennessee went 1-7 in the SEC last season. And that 1 win was in OT. Knoxville is fun, but not that fun. Kind of a slap in the face if he chooses Tenn over VT. Then again I guess its like the very, very rare times a guy chooses UVA over VT.

What are they going to do with Kirven's folks?....show them a 5 star hotel and spa they'll be put up in when they come to town for games?

ekanem

from rivalsmike (Mike Farrell):

Fell that #VirginiaTech has a big edge for Ken Ekanem heading into his official to #NotreDame this weekend.

I keep seeing this on DirectSnap.com and it continues to irritate the crap out of me.

Under the Composite ranking for Linebacker, they list the following:

1) Kwontie Moore
LB Norfolk, VA 6'3" 243 lbs
Virginia Cavaliers
Rivals- #76 Scout- NR 247Sports- #52 ESPN- NR

How does a guy earn a #1 overall composite ranking for linebackers with a #76 ranking by Rivals, a #52 ranking by 247/Sports, and no ranking by Scout and ESPN??

WTF, over?

DirectSnap.com Composite LB Ranking

 

[VT_Football_Fan]

Those are overall numbers by Rivals and 216.

Raphael Kirby is the best LB in the country.

BIG OFFICIAL VISIT this weekend for Frank and the boys .. Not sure if anyone else is visiting other than KK -- so I'm sure all the staff will be focused on him. That's a good thing I think.

Re: Caleb == Does anyone know what we're doing, particularly, to try to land him? In-home visits? Any of that? It's been a good while since his OV and with he and his 'rents visiting WVU recently, I'd certainly hope we're making a good push. Hopefully, rivals and scout are both right and he's a lock.

The Uncommitted: No. 46 Joel Caleb has narrowed it to three - MaxPreps News

 

[VT_Football_Fan]

Caleb has been visited multiple times in the past 2 weeks.

How would everyone feel if Ekanem was the only one of these three that signed with the good guys? In some circles, he's the highest rated. Yes, I know we need some depth at WR...

Also, how big is the chance Deloatch could still switch to us? I know they're "discussing his options".

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

I would be thrilled to have Ekanem but pretty upset about losing Caleb since he has been so high on Tech for so long and he is an in-state guy at a position of need.

As for Kirven, I would hate missing out on an in-state recruit, but I have never gotten the warm feeling that others have and we have a lot of depth at DT, so I would be less upset.

Well put 46. And I think Caleb may be a more natural hard hitting safety. Blasphemy, I know.
