My guesses on the 2024 recruiting class...
It looks like they'll take 3 players and replace any transfers using the portal. Ideally they'll want a guard, a combo forward and a post/4
Tyler Johnson fits that combo forward OR the 4 role depending on who they think they can get with the last 2 spots
Guard:
Either Gicarri Harris or Larry Johnson
You'd like to say take both. They're both definitely worthy of being taken, but the reality is unless VT loses a Guard before either one of these make a decision (not likely) then the other one will move on from VT once the first one makes their decision. Harris is taking an OV to VT this weekend.
Outside shot - Malachi Palmer
He looks to be waiting a while with the process. If VT misses out on both above they could turn their attention here. Though they'll likely have some competition by that time
Combo Forward
Likely Tyler Johnson
He fits the mold of starting out as a 4 and hopefully developing to the perimeter, but his playmaking skills and a current lack of high level shooting make him starting out at the 4 more likely
Outside shot - Isaiah Johnson-Arigu
Pipe Dream - Khani Rooths, Jaeden Mustaf
Post/4
David Punch most likely
VT has the 4th visit here in Sept, with a long month wait before visiting UVA in Oct. That typically means UVA is slow-playing him to get other visits in. This would bode very well for VT getting essentially the last visit among the schools pushing for his commitment (NCSU, PSU, TCU)
Outside shot - Dillon Battie
Pipe Dream - Ryan Jones, Nic Codie
A 3-person class of Gicarri Harris, Tyler Johnson and David Punch would be a great one. It would bring out the boo-birds from those who judge recruiting based on inaccurate 247 ratings, but it would be 3 high level players who fit exactly what VT needs to continue their trajectory
