Heard the same thing. Very good news. Also heard he might be cutting down his list some time soon and we are expected to make the cut.

Hopefully he gets back on campus this week and the coaches can work some magic on him!

Also hearing we are in Eugine Lewis' top 5, don't have a rivals account to confirm...

I have not heard about Hamilton but we are on Lewis' short list. A lot of people say PSU is the team to beat for him.

Figured as much, hopefully we can pull him away from PSU

TSL just released its preseason top 40. One of the players that made it is a safety from Lake Taylor in Norfolk by the name of Mike Tyson. With that name, that dude must be a hard hitter.

No, it's a free article. I used to subscribe a few years ago, but let it go when they quit accepting the type of credit card I had at the time. I never did renew. Speaking of which, for those that use the pay services, which is better for recruiting info, TSL or rivals?

I like TSL, but I have never had a rivals account...

I have a rivals account but actually prefer it for the football info stuff, as much as the recruiting. Their message boards are a mess and have a lot of animsity and anger, which annoys me within a fan base. I am so glad that we have this place where people can talk like adults.

However, their articles on players and round tables are pretty cool, and their videos are very nice.

I have a rivals account and used to have a TSL account (may revive that closer to the season). I like the recruiting info better at rivals, but I think Will and Chris do write some great articles. The only problem with TSL is that the articles are not as abundant like at rivals. But if you're looking for recruiting info, rivals crushes TSL.

But yes, the message boards are tiresome and annoying when you have grown men acting like high school girls.

FWIW i've heard that he will be visiting again but no date is set and prob wont be this wkend. I would guess that the coaches would want him when there isnt a whole lot of other stuff going on.

I can also confim Darius will be here this weekend.

I have TSL. Rivals is much better as far as recruiting articles, but I enjoy TSL for their articles and message board info. Will and Chris have some great analysis. However, they simply do not have the recruiting resources that Rivals has.

Welcome to the board!

Thank you. I first heard about the site through jerm. Then I noticed my old friend Christopher Womack aka Jabrone aka Landon's stepdad posting I will provide any insight into recruits, commits, and current players I gain.

I quit posting on the HokieHaven Rivals message board several months ago and canceled my membership because of the constant bickering. I do use the free Rivals recruiting site because of the very good player information. I don't get to see any of the videos or read the articles, but I see enough to understand what's going on:

Rivals.com Recruit Search - Yahoo! Sports

I used to belong to TSL several years ago and dropped them for the same reason...an uncontrollable message board. I do keep up with their free Football Board...every now and then a nugget of information will show up. You have to register to post, but you don't have to do anything just to read the messages:

Index - TechSideline.com Football Message Board

I also dropped Beamerball because they are virtually worthless in the off-season. Just my opinion....but a lot of folks like the player interviews, game videos, and other tidbits they drop from time to time:

Welcome to BeamerBall.com, The Official and Exclusive Website of Coach Frank Beamer

Twitter is also a useful tool for keeping up...a number of journalists like Kyle Tucker and Daryl Slater drop some very useful information, usually linked to their articles.

welcome aboard

I expect a few decisions very soon by guys who are seemingly favoring the Hokies. Linebackers Trey Edmunds and Jawand Blue may decide very shortly. We have two LBs already. DVD is almost a lock. Would we take five inthis class? Are McKinnon and Blue potential rovers?

Also, defensive tackle Woody Baron is deciding soon and things look good for the good guys.

I need to update the commit list and will put out a 2013 list after the July camp.
