Virginia Tech 2014 Recruiting Target List

[HoHumHokie]

Stamm (the guy at Rivals) is a total ass. Mitchell wanted his moment to announce and call Coach first and dude put it out anyways. Dirty reporting from a site that is getting killed by the superior content and writers at 247. I mean its out there now but F Rivals and F HokieHaven.

If he wanted to be the one to break the news, then why share this info with Rivals first?

I doubt rivals got it from him. If they did, it was with the caveat, but they have been taking stuff from others and claiming contact for a while now.

The "University of Virginia Tech" is on a roll.

Billy Ray is straight up #BEAST

and for those of you (like me) wondering what the hell a Paladin is (his high school mascot):

Tremendous. I LOVE seeing OL commits. You cannot have too many of them, just like QBs.

I'm no insider .. but I think we have a real shot with MJ Stewart. I don't think he's the UNC lock that everyone else is saying. They may win out but we're in it.

Supposedly going to get some big time visitors for the junior day/camp in the middle of the month.

The "University of Virginia Tech" is on a roll.

Billy Ray's brother decided to butcher the school name on twitter as well.

Isn't Cornell his recruiter? He's the first guy I recall doing it at his announcement.

 

[JPCVT]

Anyone have info on Jay Payton? Dwight Vick retweeted his top 6 with VT along UNC, Miami, others. 247 has him as a linebacker with good size from Haymarket.

Big kid. Prepped. He has offers from UNC, Auburn, UVA, Wake I think.

Big kid. Prepped. He has offers from UNC, Auburn, UVA, Wake I think.

His twitter is certainly bizarre. Talking about going to UVA tomorrow and then retweeting the banter between UVA and VT fans. Seems like it's mostly a two team race...

I just looked. I make it a habit not to follow recruits not named CJ but i must say that I was unSettled by one of those tweets.

Super pumped about the Billy Ray commitment!!!


Just realised that Brady Taylor 's profile on 247 now lists us as "warm". Up until a few days ago I recall us being "cool". I don't have subscriptions to any sites so I'm just guessing, but for them to change our status probably means that he is at least visiting us something along those lines.

Also on June 19 he tweeted, "Virginia Tech's "Enter Sandman" entrance gives me chills!"

He also follows Grimes, Ryan Pugh (Assistant coach), and Andrew Ford on twitter which I'm putting close to 0 stock into but it's something.

I found it sort of interesting that our last 3 OL recruits left that we have offered and have a realistic chance are all from Ohio (Colt Pettit, Patrick Osterhage and Brady Taylor). If we get 1, does that help us with the others? Do we even take all 3 from a numbers stand point? That would put us with 6 OL in the class along with Billy Ray, Tyrell and Gallo.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

I think we will take the next two to jump. Braxton Pfaff is a delayed entrant due to injury, remember, so that would be a class of 6 with him coming in January.

 

[rockhead44]

What happened to Pfaff?

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Shoulder injury needed surgery so he delayed his enrollment to save a year of eligibility. Smart move actually.

 

[VTscores]

This is shaping up to be a pretty decent recruiting class.

 

[NickVT10]

I'm really excited about getting Mitchell. We saw on Twitter he is up to 290 in the off season too.

 

[JP to VT]

A Pitt insider predicted Noah Brown to VT last night.

 

[amszete]

Looks like JCS also predicted him to VT as well back on 6/26. Interesting for sure.
