If I had to pick 2 DBs left that I want the most it'd be him #1 and Fuller #2 slightly above Hamlin. They're all very good players, pride included.

And Pride is closer to Hamlin than Fuller is to Pride.

I saw Kendall Fuller is leaving for the League. Any chance Pride gets back in bed with them?

Have the Hokies been slacking on corner recruitment lately? Fuller would've only been there another year anyways.

At this point I'm all about the real CB's. Long was always #1 out of this group. Hamlin's next. Hamlin also doesn't hurt the David Adams sweepstakes next year. Early on if Fuller would have jumped aboard, I'd have been stoked. DT-QB on top of his DB projection is nice to have. He's a football player. Might end up a great WR someday, wouldn't surprise me. My problem now is... ND has a ton of tweeners. That leaves Pride... I'm not afraid to take him, I just never got excited. If he wasn't linked to VaTech, I probably wouldn't had ever given it a second thought but a so so CB recruit at VT is in the same breath as a so so TE at ND. If the sky falls and he's the only guy they sign, I'll be thrilled he's Irish.

Being sad you can't take them all is SOOOOO much better than being sad you missed them all.

haha man you are not a fan of Fuller

I know it looks like that, and it's not that I'm all that down on him but we need a guy that will be able to compete at CB right away and I don't think Fuller will be able to. Saw quite a bit of footage of him playing CB at the Opening and it wasn't good. Great athlete and would love to have him but it's a WANT list and that's how it goes.

Well if him insisting on playing corner is as important to him as it seems, I don't think we'll have to worry about it. My guess is OSU or RU at this point, and I'm OK with that so long as we grab one of Long/Hamlin/Pride in his place.

is Long committed to Stanford right now?

Kinda sorta. He hasn't been cleared by admissions yet, unless I missed an announcement. He never stopped the process and I've never heard that he would have even if he had been given the green light by admissions at his commitment.

Hopefully we tell him that we'll start him at CB and we do that. His brother would probably be at WR right now if we told him that he could play QB. When these guys get on campus and they get eaten up by better competition, they aren't going to want to stay at a position they aren't succeeding at. Will that be the case with Jordan, we'll have to see but I'd definitely tell him that we'll start him at CB and I'd actually start him at CB.

I feel like if we could land one more commit this cycle, he would be the one I would pick. I think all of the remaining targets are awesome, and we would be lucky to get any of them, but I think this kid is going to be a star! We need to get this secondary fixed, and with this kid, Studstill, and Elliot back there, I would feel really good about the future.

I'd make McCulloch number one because we've seen how important our LBs are in this system but close behind him would be Long, Hamlin and Pride. I just want to make sure we take 3+ LBs and 4 secondary players every cycle from here on out. It's probably a pipe dream but competition and healthy depth are so vital to making a run.

I can't argue with that brother. It is just my personal view anyway. Probably best that I don't get to pick who we get lol.

Says Washington and Michigan are on top.

If you ever thought we actually lead for this kid:

He told Steve Hare ND is #3. My guess is UW. Coach Pete is getting interest from some big time Cali guys. Had a better year than predicted too which is probably helping.
