Virginia Tech 2014 Recruiting Target List

[hokiehi21]

I dont think there's anything more the coaches could have done for Moss. He had Hoo written all over him. At least he visited VT before making a decision, so i can live with that. More OL offers will go out this summer during camps.

Weishar to ND .. I think that we're in good shape with the Kelleher kid ... but so is Georgia Tech if memory serves me correct.

 

[hokiehi21]

McMillian is getting ready to officially announce

 

[hokiehi21]

And shockingly (sarcasm), he picks the Hokies. Welcome aboard Travon!

 

[hokiehi21]

DaShawn Hand was there at the announcement

I feel pretty good about Kelleher with what I've read. I would worry more if Stanford offers.

Hey HG, you can undelete the posts from Sat if you want now. I am not sure I can do it from my phone.

Welcome Travon!

Where are we expecting Travon to play? QB? WR? I read in an article he has never played defense so i wouldn't expect him to get a big look on D especially with 4 DBs in the class already and last year's haul

EDIT: I found this on the free Rivals article

McMillian has long said he wanted to play quarterback, though being six-foot tall, few schools would commit to that position. Virginia Tech has promised McMillian the chance to compete there, though he said the Hokies have also talked about using him at receiver, cornerback, safety and even WHIP linebacker.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

He will start at QB but has versatility to move into a Mangus/Roberts type role.

took care of it.

 

[JP to VT]

Pumped about the commit!! But this paragraph should be noted too.

"I feel pretty sure about my decision," McMillian said. "I'm still gonna be in touch with Georgia Tech and Cal, but I feel pretty sure about my decision right now. I might go to Georgia Tech, I'm not sure, only because I haven't gone down there before. I just wanna check it out a little bit, but right now I feel pretty sure about Virginia Tech."

seems like an odd perspective to have right after you commit to a school....maybe just me, but i would like to check out all my options, and decide 100% before committing to a school

I wonder where this puts us with Jacob Park?

 

[ckhokie]

I would say this has a very minimal effect on Park

Glad to see VT recruiting going strongly.

Congrats to the new commits!

I'm not worried here. Travon seems pretty solid in his commitment. I have no problem with him visiting GT. That's just par for the course these days.

So if we get Park, in 2014 we will have Leal, Bucky, Park, Parker, and Travon competing for reps. I am assuming Park and Travon will get redshirted but who will separate as the leader?

My guess is it will come down to Bucky and Park as our future QB. I think Parker goes WR and Travon might go to the defense.

Don't forget Brenden Motley

I would think Travon stays on the offensive side in some capacity. We are not used to having this much talent at QB, especially with multiple athletic gues like Parker and Travon. I think Parker will stick at QB for at least a couple seasons. The pre-season 2015 will be an interesting QB battle. I just hope the coaches find their guy and don't go down the Glennon/Tryod musicle QB game again.

2014: Leal(Sr) - Bucky(R-Fr) - Parker(R-Fr)
2015: Bucky(R-So)/Parker(R-So) - Park(R-Fr)

I tend to agree Nick but man, Parker's film is ridiculous.
