Virginia Tech 2013 Recruiting Target List

[Rocky]

We all know that Saban isn't stopping.

With his brother Denzel playing at ole miss, Robert will surely get another full court press from them.

I didnt realize, but he has another brother playing baseball at Clemson, which, along with his two other buddies, could make it difficult for anyone to turn this one around.

However, for some reason, I'm thinking that this really isn't over yet. I bet Dabo would have rather have had him sleep on it, and announce it tomorrow. Shit always looks different the next day.

ROLL DAMN TIDE!!!!

 

[Ballboy534]

Haha just yanking your chain. I don't hate clemson. Just Dabo and the fact that they stole our play book.

I figured; I was getting ready to be "sarcastically diplomatic" since I am in enemy territory

 

[hokiegrad]

ROLL DAMN TIDE!!!!

Ugh. Please stop. I want to puke every time I hear that.

RIP Bear Bryant!

Yeah, it's not like we consistently send defensive lineman in the early rounds of the NFL Draft or anything...

I'm no Clemson expert but the ones I do know about are Bowers, Branch, and Thompson. If that's all you can brag about it ain't much. Especially Bowers who nobody could screw up even if they tried

 

[VT_Football_Fan]

He got paid. Dolla dolla bills yall.

2012 - Andre Branch (2) Brandon Thompson (3)
2011 - Jarvis Jenkins (2) Da'Quan Bowers (2)
2010 - Ricky Sapp (5)
2009 - Darell Scott (4)
2008 - Philip Merling (2)
2007 - Gaines Adams (1)
2006 - Charles Bennet (7)
2004 - Donnell Washington (3)
2003 - Nick Eason (4) Bryant McNeal (4)

Every year for the past decade with the exception of 2005 and 2002 there's been at least one defensive lineman drafted; I'd say that qualifies as consistency, wouldn't you?

I would call that consistency, yes. That said, I don't think it was a major factor in his decision. #1 overall recruits (at least for now) don't need NFL factories to get a chance to play pro football. Guys with that much attention do tend to have very strong friend/familial ties... those few people that they trust and that aren't trying to influence them or gain anything from them.

To be honest I haven't heard of any you listed except Bowers. Who gives a fuck who Clemson gets anyway. This is a VT recruiting thread so you can

That list looks like pure crap to me. Bowers will be good if he ever gets his knee right though

Why is it that every time another school gets a big football recruit their fans feel like its necessary to come on our boards and brag about it? We don't give a flying fuck about your verbal, cause we weren't in the race for him anyways. Go have a fuckin beer if you're so happy, but please stop trying to start a pissing contest on our board cause we don't give a shit about your recruits, Douchebag.

Didn't Chung and Reid visit today? Any chance it's one of them?

 

[Camfantasy]

That would be my guess.

 

[TagAndBrag]

Either would be nice. Or Teller... Or one of the monsters from the 2014 thread...

Chung tweeted earlier that he is visiting UVa tomorrow. I don't think he would have bothered to tweet everyone that if he was going to commit to VT.

Even better. I'd rather hear a long shot or 50-50 guy committed rather than a presumed 90-10 guy.

 

[ImAHokie]

Chung didn't make it to VT today. He's just enjoying himself and collecting offers right now, he'll probably make it happen during the next visit(maybe July camp?)
