Grimes improving OL recruiting

Colt Pettit made an interesting comment to Chris Horne yesterday.  He told Horne that he didn’t want to wait long to commit, because Virginia Tech told him they only had one more spot for players at his position.

What does that mean?  I’m not sure.  Does it mean the Hokies were only taking one more offensive lineman overall, and that they are now done recruiting up front?  Or does it mean that they are finished with interior offensive line recruiting, and will now only target true offensive tackles?  I think it’s the latter.

As we’ve discussed before, future depth on the offensive line is a huge question mark.  As of right now, here’s what Tech’s offensive line will look like in 2015:

Jake Goins (r-Sr.)
Augie Conte (r-Jr.)
Adam Taraschke (r-Jr.)
Jack Willenbrock (r-Jr.)
Jonathan McLaughlin (Jr.)
Parker Osterloh (r-So.)
Kyle Chung (r-So.)
Braxton Pfaff (r-Fr.)
Billy Ray Mitchell (r-Fr.)
Tyrell Smith (r-Fr.)
Eric Gallo (r-Fr.)
Colt Pettit (r-Fr.)
