Virginia Tech picked up a lot of commitments in the month of July, and they are certain to have more before the season begins in September. Like the vast majority of schools these days, most of the current class will be committed before a football game is played in 2022.

Likewise, there will be late bloomers who don’t really show up on recruiting boards until the end of their senior seasons, and it’s likely that there are 2-3 members of Virginia Tech’s final 2023 recruiting class that you haven’t even heard of yet.

Of the guys still uncommitted that you have heard of, I want to talk about where their recruitments stand as of right now. After that, we’ll take a different turn and say some things about NIL that I feel need to be said.
