For VT fans

an early look at some 2008 prospects

T.J. Lawrence...6'1, 190 SS/WR/CB...Lakeland, FL...should be a low to mid 4 star, has VT leading and almost committed before season started

Bruce Taylor...6'3, 240 LB...Myrtle Beach, SC...already committed to VT over offers from FSU UNC and UGA (and 10 others), had 205 tackles, 42 TFL and 8 sacks...this video is from his sophomore year...he played this season with a broken arm

One other name who could commit early is 6'6 305 OL Vincent Painter...he is a lock for 5 star status with his performance at the All-American combine and will probably be the top player in-state...he's from Maury HS in VA and holds 40 offers

Ryan Williams will be a hot prospect in the state, he is a 5'11 200 RB out of Manassas Park and if he stays in-state it will be with VT

some other in-state names to look for

D.J. Coles
Kevin Whaley
Derrick McCoy
Xavier Boyce
Mike Glennon (bleh)
Harry Lee Daniel
Antoine Hopkins
Jeron Gouveia (son of former Redskin)

also Kyle Long, brother of Chris Long of UVa and son of Howie Long...looks to be a lock for Ohio State

Got to love a name like: Harry Lee Daniel

i know it's comin in a couple seconds, but it's about like Jim Bob Cooter haha

Yep

Taylor will be a beast at LB if he doesn't outgrow the position, but I'd bet DE would suit him just fine too.

I'm also pretty excited about Painter.

Also am hopeful for Coles and McCoy, and Whaley. Next years class in the state of VA should be a doozie!! Would like to get most of the top 10.
