Very happy to announce I was wrong
Didn’t think we had much of a chance. This is big news. Be interesting to see how the dominoes fall after this. Getting Basset and Miller will definitely bring in other good guys. Here’s a list of whose school list we made.

more National Champs wrestlers than a couple of recruits. Selling Caleb Henson is more powerful in my mind.

These two are super well known. You can tell an elite kid, hey, come help build a title contending team, and it actually carries some weight with these two committed.
This could be big down the road too. Bo is the most popular high school wrestler in the country, possibly ever. There are kids that may be elite prospects in a few years whose favorite wrestler is Bo Bassett. If Bo tears it up in a Hokie singlet, suddenly a bunch more prospects are Hokie fans.
None of this is guaranteed, and the coaches will still have to put the work in, but these commitments really do have the potential to be program changing.

That’s already happening. Which is why we were able to get Bassett and Miller. We don’t get them without Caleb and Mekhi, I believe that. Getting top recruits like Bo and Melvin will help a lot with bringing in other young recruits in.
It’s not this or that. It’s this and that.

commitment of these two studs. It’s an exciting time for VT and a direct reflection on the culture and environment Robie and staff have built. In my 30+ years of following the program, I have never been more excited about current roster, commitments and recruiting targets. The future is very bright at VT. As fans, we are in great hands and the future never looked brighter.
Go hokies!
PS - please consider making a donation to the program ASAP. Admittedly, I’ve been dragging my feet lately and need to make up for that.

That's why I sent Coach Robie a text and put a check in the mail today. He has done his part in promoting interest in our team and securing a recruiting coup. Now we need to support him financially through the SERTC like never before. It is up to us to see that he has the resources to attain a National Team Championship, something Virginia Tech has never achieved.
GO HOKIES!!!!!

kids with toughness and a desire to compete that's been missing from several recent editions

wonder if he’s a projected Hvy in college or 197?
Sometimes those tweeners have to make the choice to either bulk up or cut.

Paul Kenny would be a great get along with his younger brother.
