The Hokies have done a great job thus far of acquiring 'verbal'
commitments and brought in another recruit as well.
Here is a look at what Seth Greenberg has done with the 2011 recruiting class.
Verbal Commitments
G Marquis Rankin 6'1''
Rankin is a very quick guard that strives in transition. He
is often seen pushing the ball up the court in transition and make plays. He
attacks the rim and likes to dunk every chance he gets. On defense, he gets in
the passing lanes and even showed the ability to be a decent weak-side shot
blocker.
G Robert Brown 6'4''
Brown is a great addition on the wing. He has the ability to be a
great slasher and plays with energy all the time. He has soft hands in the post
where he displays great finishing skills around the rim. Not to mention, in
transition he is a must-have.
F C.J. Barksdale 6'7''
Barksdale is equipped with long arms and that helps with
rebounding. He has the ability to snatch down a lot of rebounds and put it
back. He is also a treat on defense. Because of his long frame he has the
ability to block and alter a lot of shots.
F Paul Jesperson 6'7''
Considering
*G Damien Leonard
Although it seems Arizona is his favorite, Virginia Tech is listed
in his top-five schools.
G Deuce Bello
Bello seems like a long shot at Virginia Tech.
G Myles Mack
No favorite insight, but V-Tech certainly still has a chance. But
his recruitment is nowhere near to ending.
G Bishop Daniels
The Hokies offered the explosive leaper a scholarship but I don't
think he considers them a huge player in his recruiting.
G Durand Johnson
Johnson has received an offer from the Hokies, but they're
not in his top-three.
*G Derrick Wilson
Wilson has interest in the program however, no offer made.
G Jarrod Davis
His named his final three schools and none of them were Virginia
Tech.
F Andrew Nicholas
Once he decommitted from Rutgers, Nicholas listed Penn State
and St. Joseph's as his favorites.
*F Dorian Finney-Smith
When Finney-Smith lowered his list to six teams, he listed
Virginia Tech. He has a great deal of interest and could be playing there after
this season.
F Derrick Randell
He is enjoying a lot of the attention from Rutgers.
F Mikael Hopkins
Hopkins has a lot of interest in West Virginia because of his
relationship with Larry Harrison. But recruitment is wide open.
F Adjehi Baru
Baru was won over early by four schools. Virginia Tech wasn't
amongst them.
F Nick Jacobs
Jacobs has high interest in Georgia. It seems like that's where he
is going.
C Desmond Hubert
'Nova and Pitt has won him over thus far. Hubert may still be
insight but it seems like he kicked V-Tech out of his recruiting.
*C Deng Leek
Leek recruiting is wide open! The Hokies haven't made an offer but
he does have interest in the program.
*C Blaise Mbargorba
Even though he said he wasn't focusing too much
on recruiting, he reports that he has interest in Virginia Tech.
Do you want me to make a recruiting review of your team? Just email me at CollegiateHoops@gmail.com, tell me the team, and I will produce the recruiting review the following day.
ReplyDeletewhat about dai-jon parker? from what I understand he is very interested in the Hokies and they are recruiting him hard.
ReplyDeleteParker is interesting. I don't think he has as much interest as you think. That doesn't mean he isn't interested either. He said plenty of times that he is no where near making a decision oh his recruiting. But, if you know something I don't I would love to hear it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment!
Jacobs probably won't go to Georgia. His top 3 are Miami, Alabama and Georgia and I feel like that is in order.
ReplyDeleteAlso Derrick Wilson has an offer from VT.
