Hokies Strike Again, Land LB/DE Ken Ekanem

Ken Ekanem, the #15 OLB (though likely a DE at Tech) and the #209 player nationally according to Rivals.com (again, tore his ACL in State Championship game, so ranking has dropped). Ekamen chose the Hokies over many BCS offers and had narrowed to Tech and Notre Dame before ND pulled their offer due to his injury. More coverage here as well as on my Twitter account @LunchpailD.

Hokies Land HUGE Recruit, ATH Joel Caleb

Caleb is ranked the #7 Athlete in the country and the #84 player overall nationally by Rivals.com (was #71 just a few days ago, but he missed half of his Sr. season with an injury. I don't know why analysts make ranking decisions on injuries so often). Caleb played mostly QB in high school, but is most likely to play WR at Tech.

Lynchburg Brookville DT Korren Kirven Spurns Hokies, Signs With Tide

According to most analysts, two days ago it was down to Hokies and Vols at 50/50 and Tide had dropped out. Certainly a shocker. His interview two days ago with VT Effect (linked article) seemed to confirm that notion as he said he was not feeling pressured to say no to Alabama and Nick Saban. Kirven is the #16 rated DT and #206 player nationally according to Rivals.com. More coverage here as well as on my Twitter account @LunchpailD.

According to Numerous Sources, Notre Dame No Longer Recruiting Ken Ekanem

Ekanem is a LB/DE prospect for the 2012 class. He is ranked the #209 in the nation according to Rivals.com. He was down to his final two, Virginia Tech and Notre Dame. Though he was said to be favoring Tech, this is HUGE news as it now seems we are the only remaining team in play for his services.

Starting PG Erick Green Likely To Miss BC Game

According to the Hokies Journal on Twitter (and really all over the twitterverse now), Green is likely to miss the game with an LCL sprain to his left knee. This would be a huge loss for the Hokies who are trying to claw their way into the ACC win column after starting conference play 0-2. For game coverage, follow me on Twitter @lunchpaild.
