Virginia Tech 2012 Recruiting Target List

[HokieGhost]

Alabama is also heavily recruiting 5-star DT Eddie Goldman out of DC, and 4-star Dalvin Tomlinson out of Georgia. Goldman may be an FSU lean, while Tomlinson is choosing between Bama, GT, and UGA.

I heard VT commit Jawand Blue now considering trip to Miami after a visit from Golden yesterday. Will he stay a VT verbal?

11:33 Chris Nee:
Tommy H- VT expects him on campus this weekend for his official visit. Miami made a late run, but doesn't look like a switch will occur.

 

[HokieGhost]

Does anyone know if Mornhinweg has arrived or is still arriving for his visit? Do we know if his Dad is along for the trip?

 

[ImAHokie]

Bama will most likely accept Tomlinson's commitment and call it a day at DT.

Good Stuff!!!!

11:59 Comment From Coach
What do you guys think of the talents of Juwand Blue VT commit...

11:59 Chris Nee:
Coach- Blue tackles a bit high but is really physical. Real hard hitter. When he gets better from a technique standpoint expect him to be really solid...

So Ekanem is no longer being pursued by ND and Kirven is now down to VT,UT,and MD correct? I like our chances against UT. Could be a huge NSD for us this year.

And if we can keep Blue that would be very nice. LB is nice to have depth since they take a lot of beating.

I wouldn't figure Maryland to be a big player with Kirven ... I was hoping that Tomlinson would bite ... and am glad that Bama appears to be out of that mix

Correct on Ekanem, but no MD for Kirven.

Yes...agreed on Blue. But, all bets are off if he gets an offer from Miami.

 

[NickVT10]

I didn't think MD would be a big contender but thought I heard they were on his final list.

Keep giving Foster some players and we will have our top defenses back in shape. A strong DL is key for that.

Blog updated with latest on #Hokies' pursuit of Skyler Mornhinweg. His dad was college teammate of Gators' OC. Hmmmm. Teel Time: Skyler Mornhinweg, son of Eagles' offensive coordinator, may visit Virginia Tech

QUOTE:

Here's an update on the Skyler Mornhinweg recruitment from early Friday afternoon:

Was unaware of this connection yesterday, but Skyler's father, Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg, played with new Florida OC Brent Pease at the University of Montana in the 1980s.

So don't be surprised if Mornhinweg, who visited Florida last week, commits to the Gators and declines a visit to Virginia Tech.

@mattyports Did Blue tell you whether or not he got an offer from the Canes' London, or that he should expect one?

London??? Can't get UVA off your mind?

Oh, hell...meant Golden. My bad. Too many posts/tweets today.

Mornhinweg will not be coming to Blacksburg. He committed to UF, per twitter.

Well that stinks, but let's face it. That name would have been a nightmare.

QB is officially the #1 priority for the 2013 class. Hope we can make a splash.
