Virginia Tech Notes
(5/11) OL one of CFBs least exp'd & 50% come via portals
(4/22) HC Pry says OL most improved, best he's had
(4/22) OL rebuild 0/5 back. 3 WVU portals, 1 w/ exp
(4/7) QB Drones back. Had surgery, no spring. Yikes
(4/4) OG Tomas Rimac a top G via PFF
(3/21) RB rebuild, added 3 portals, incl Stewart (BG)
(3/21) WR rebuild. Some talent, 1 portal, Green (WF)
(3/21) Def OK LY, return F7 but 5 DB portals needed
(3/21) Hard to find excitement, at least early.
(3/21) Pry on thin ice, new OC Montgomery? Meh
