LOI Day has come and gone. The Hokies pulled in 20 commitments, including one they didn't expect. Cornerback Jayron Hosley signed with the Hokies after committing to South Florida previously. Hosley is from Delray Beach, Fla., and went to the same high school as the legendary (in my mind) Brandon Flowers. Flowers was an All-American corner at Tech and is now with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Hosley is the same height and about the same weight Flowers was when Flowers arrived at Virginia Tech in 2004. Here's hoping Hosley turns into the same shut-down hitting machine Flowers was in the three seasons he played for the Hokies.
We have now come to my favorite part of recruiting season: The part where it's over. We can now resume talking about players that will actually have an impact for the team next season and where the Hokies need to improve. Hell, we can also talk about basketball if we're feeling frisky.
The fact is recruiting season gives more fuel to the fire that college sports are corrupt and ruining America's yutes. So, let's move on. Nothing more to see here. Well, other than maybe these links:
Kyle Tucker has returned: KT returns from his grueling schedule of drinking mai tais and sleeping with models on top of piles of money to bring us some LOI Day blogging, including inside info on the Hosley commitment.
Pharaoh, let my recruits go: VHT offensive lineman Morgan Moses is a 'Hoo. This is the part where Hokie fans dismiss Moses for academics and character issues because a recruit they wanted signed with a rival (WTF is wrong with me? I'm being a real ass hole today.).
But we still ruled in-state: Despite the Moses miss, we still pulled in a lot of the best the Commonwealth had to offer according to the TSL guys.
Nubian!: Peak makes Orson's All-Name Team. He's no Euclid Cummings, though.
Rivals Rankings: The recruiting Gods have us No. 23 in the country, No. 4 in the conference. Not too bad.
One down, three to go: Slowly but surely, we're getting healthy for the playoffs, which are a mere three months away.

Can someone post VT's quaterback depth chart for 2009. I will start Sean Glennon. jk. Seriously:
1. Tyrod Taylor
2. ?
3. ?
4. ?
1. TT
2. JuJu
3. Boone
4. Davis
ruh-roh
2 and 3 may be interchangeable. if TT gets hurt and JuJu can't cut it the it is boone. if boone expect the spread to be the O, touch passes and reading defenses will not be a strong point, running hard, straight up will.
MM ... needs to do work academically, not just get eligible but to graduate. FUMA or Hargrave. Another top hoo recruit has issues too, apparently he doesn't think school is cool anymore. they are keeping that on the down low. I can't give it out, wish i could, but a promise is a promise.

Yeah, that.
