who do they have playing qb? I assumed he would probably be one of the higher rated qbs there.

Nice spin on a bowl ban. Bud should tell him his bowl swag makes a nice under the Christmas tree.

Wow, NOT coming to VT was the right choice for this guy.....football isn't very important to him....he wouldn't have fit in with the Hokies IMO....

Bottom line is our coaches got beat for a priority recruit by a team reeling from the worst scandal in CFB history, and facing 3 more years of bowl bans/sanctions. One heck of a sales job by PSU IMO.

Yeah. I've got nothing against Hamilton, but nothing about his film really jumped out to me as "can't miss". He's got some upside, but I don't know if I'd label him as a priority recruit. He could develop into a good WR, or could just get lost on the depth chart.
One thing I know for sure is that if he doesn't care about going to bowl games then he wasn't a good fit for VT. We need guys like Kendall Fuller...I know some people laugh when he talks about winning national championships, but that is the attitude we need our players to have.

meh, often one must pretend to care so as to not lose face with other potentials. It seems to me that there was not a terrific amount of excitement regarding this guy anyway. Good luck to him (and careful in the showers up there).
