Virginia Tech 2013 Recruiting Target List

[EvanGWatkins]

Allen has a top 5 of VT, PSU, Alabama, Florida and Ohio State

 

[sparko]

think I may have posted earlier .. but saw a few weeks ago that according to Kendall's dad, his top two are Clemson and VT .. no surprise there

Has Rolin and Teller narrowed their lists yet? If so, can someone post who they are down to?

... seems like Teller will either be a Hoo or Hokie, but he has some good offers

.. and sounds like Rolin has a top 3 (currently) of FSU, Georgia, and South Carolina? Is that correct?

Teller will not leave the state...
Rolin is FSU, UGA and USC-E and the game cocks have the lead here
And correct Fuller's top 2 are VT and Clemson

Check the SportsHoopla twitter for a video. He will likely start at DB but could move, he is versatile.

His coach says he wants to play on offense, either WR or RB. He does look good with the ball in his hands. What makes us think he likely starts at DB? Just our depth there, or do we have some indication that's where we've recruited him?

I put hm there because the most reliable recruiting source, IMO has him listed as such. It is ot a lock in at all. he will come on on D, IMO and then get a look at O as well. A lot may depend on how the CB/WR in the 2012 class progress and who else comes on board in 2013. Remember we only have 3 scholly cornerbacks right now with a fourth and possible fifth coming in summer.

It will be more of a Zack Luckett situation where you come in as a DB and within the first few practices you either stay or move to WR.

Where the hell do you get all of this information???

FWIW, Newsome seems to think he's starting out on the offensive side of the ball.

Luckett also ended up as a LB. There's a ton of guys that are similar to Newsome in the 2012 class. Once those guys get settled, we'll know a little more about what side of the ball we'll be on.

Sometimes it's better to just accept what people say and don't ask for sources. Evan gives pretty reliable info and that's good enough for me.

From what I hear, that is because he got in trouble and LB was the only opening we had since he had been beaten out at WR while in the dog house.

Not going to disagree...that statement was more out of jealousy and intrigue than a serious want to know.

I'm pretty sure that he was recruited as a whip, but was moved to WR later because of depth. But it doesn't matter, my point was that I don't know if it would be a Zack Luckett situation. I think Newsome will stick to one position and not be moved like Luckett.

Luckett was a solid ST player tho. He was all over the place on punt coverage

One of the better gunners in recent history.
