National Signing Day 2017 is over! 'Bama wins, what a twist! 24/7 Composite Final Rankings
2. Ohio State 3. Georgia 4. USC 5. Michigan 6. FSU 7. LSU 8. Oklahoma 9. Auburn 10. Florida
2. FSU 3. LSU 4. Ohio State 5. Michigan 6. Ole Miss 7. Georgia 8. USC 9. Auburn 10. Clemson What is the best part of following recruiting? The name game, bar none. Not only do you find out the members of the all-name team years before everyone else, you find out about the ones that may or may not contribute. See: the thread title. Recruiting sites: While this thread is a great resource for keeping up with recruiting on a national level, if you want to follow a specific team, you probably want to subscribe to one of the three main services (Scout was recently purchased by 247, and will be migrated to the 247 platform). The main issue with picking which service to follow is the school to which you owe allegiance. For VT, for example, 24/7 is currently king of the mountain, but it wasn't all that long ago that Rivals was. So do your research before dropping any of your hard-earned  just to be on the bleeding edge of recruiting info.Which kid gives my team the most fantasy recruiting points?! Early watch lists are out now, they're all guaranteed to change quite a bit over the next year as new players emerge, more well-known ones drop in the rankings, and kids move up. Everything is dynamic and constantly in flux. That said, here's the early overall rankings: Oh man look at all that social networking these kids are doing! Please god don’t interact with kids on Twitter/FB/etc. It’s fine to follow them if they’re publicly tweeting or whatever, but don’t be a terrible creeper. Things to follow during the spring/summer:
Junior Days: Time for the fresh crop of next year's recruits to hit campus, take in practice so they can see what they're getting themselves into coaching wise, and get a feel for their top schools. Camps: Recruits also come to camp to be seen competing. A great opportunity for less-scouted players to have a shot at a scholly or a walk-on offer.

Anyone wanna guess how fat he is when he gets to school? Supposedly he's a soft/pudgy ~250 so far as an incoming freshman linebacker.

VT got a commitment from 3* NC CB DJ Crossen today. Former UNC commit, should be a good one for us at a position of huge need.

Mostly decent weekend for VT. Commits from: 3* DT Cam Goode from DC, 3* DE Eli Adams from South Carolina, 3* OL John Harris from GA. Both the DL are short, but very much fit what Bud Foster likes to do with his DL, so I imagine they'll be fine in Blacksburg. The OL was top of our board remaining for interior OL, and is our first committed this class at a position of huge need, so that's nice. On the negative side, 3* WR Bryce Thompson, who should likely be a 4* based on pure talent, decommitted from VT and seems unlikely to be able to enroll in any P5 school.

Stayed in the crowd bodypainted for a game in Blacksburg my freshman year against TAMU that had a hurricane pass through, was far too much fun (and far too cold).

pillsburysoldier posted:"We really like you but please don't tell the other QB we're recruiting!" Ha that's hilarious. Seems like Fields is leaning away from Florida. Fields being the QB is also a huge part of the draw to UF for 4* TE Kyle Pitts. Currently leaders are supposedly UF and VT in that order, but he's decided to visit Blacksburg again soon, and our star QB commit is in his ear and on his team at The Opening. Here's hoping Fields picks Auburn or FSU. Both of them in drills today.

Real Name Grover posted:Sounds like Schiano's decision to stick around changed his mind. Ah well. Nebraska was out of it yesterday. He'd decided on VT yesterday and informed coaches, then changed his mind today w/ Urban's last minute push. That said I'm fine with VT's finish, would've been happy if we'd pulled one of Anthony Grant or Jevontae Jean Baptiste, but better to go never play at a blue blood than start for a top 20 program, I'm sure.

Kim Jong Il posted:Parsons is good, and you lost him due to a self-own. Jean-Baptiste has really good film, and was only lightly recruited because he was thought to be a non-q. He'll need time to put weight on, but have seen evals from former VT players just absolutely glowing about his potential. He's not can't-miss, but he's got the chance to be really good, and I wish he were at VT.
