TechSideline.com’s top overall recruit in the state of Virginia’s 2008 class – Maury (Norfolk) offensive lineman Vinston Painter – made an official visit to Virginia Tech this past weekend and had a great time. The 4-star prospect rated the visit a “10” on a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being the best), as he enjoyed spending time with the players and attending his first Virginia Tech home game.

“I had fun with the players.
