The Hokies are Hot!

The Hokies are seriously on a roll. Everytime I check my one of my favorite sites, TechSideline.com, Virginia Tech is getting a verbal commitment for it's 2007 recruiting class. Now usually I am not the type to get into recruitng, but I can't help but take note of all the recruits that VT is getting.

To have 23 recruits by this time of year is amazing. Recruits are picking VT over such powerhouses as, Florida, Michigan, Notre Dame, Tennessee, Ohio State and USC (Sorry Lizzie, but I think you guys can afford to let us have one). There are still some big names out there, like Jay Smith, an outstanding receiver from Virginia and Caleb King, a great running back from Georgia, who list VT as one of their schools of interest. Tech has a good shot at getting these guys and others. I mean, whats not to like about Blacksburg?

I believe this wave of recruits are displaying just how the Hokies are thriving on the college football scene. We are now seeing the fruits of joining the ACC. Over the last two years we have enjoyed greater national exposure and had an increase in revenue. Season tickets are sold out and unless the opposing teams are willing to return their tickets, all of the games this year will be sell-outs.

People in Virginia, the Mid-Atlantic and all over the country are embracing the Hokies. This year and for years to come Virginia Tech fans are going to have a lot to cheer about.
