I always like going to recruiting camps at Virginia Tech.  Not necessarily to see high school prospects work out, but to see how Tech’s current players interact with them.  The Hokies are fortunate to have two great ambassadors of the program in James Gayle and J.C. Coleman .

Many current Tech players showed up at the camp today.  The list includes Augie Conte , Trey Edmunds , D.J. Coles , Brandon Facyson, Darius Redman , Bucky Hodges , and many others that would take too long to list.  However, nobody played as active a role in recruiting current high school athletes than James Gayle and J.C. Coleman .

Let’s start with Gayle.  This isn’t his first rodeo on the camp circuit.  Last summer he showed up at Tech’s June camp and never left Wyatt Teller ‘s side the entire time.  This time around he embraced the role of being the personal escort of 4-star defensive tackles Derrick Nnadi and Ricky Walker .

If the Hokies land both of those outstanding prospects, it will be due in no small measure to efforts of James Gayle .  Besides his excellent play on the field, he’s also doing all he can do to strengthen the program in future seasons by introducing highly-touted recruits into the Virginia Tech family atmosphere and culture.
