2008 Recruiting Class Looks to Make Noise this Spring

Virginia Tech’s 2008 recruiting class is looking like an early success. Some
of those players saw the field as true freshmen last year, and almost all of
them are competing for playing time this spring. Today we’ll give a quick update
on Tech’s 2008 recruits and how they are panning out so far.

Four 2008 recruits are not with the team. Kendrick Pressley and Derrick McCoy
didn’t qualify, Peter Rose has legal issues, and Allen Stephens has left the
program. 25 players from the 2008 recruiting class are still in the program.
