VIRGINIA TECH RUMORS

The Cardinal basketball program will welcome four big time visitors this weekend. Two of which could join the team next season. Montrezl Harrell and Dorian Finney-Smith had planned on being teammates at Virginia Tech. The firing of Hokie coach Seth Greenburg has changed things. Finney-Smith, an all conference freshman last season at Virginia Tech has decided to take his talents elsewhere...

Virginia Tech and The Latest Big 12 Expansion RamblingsWithout sounding too repetitive from my last rant about Miami saying they’re committed to the ACC, Virginia Tech has hopped onto the same band wagon image credit: imdb.com too…for now.  All of this literally feels the exact same as last year around this time when it seemed like the Big 12 was destined to fail, but...

Although Virginia Tech has a national reputation as a football power, even Hokie blogs like The Key Play have questions about their readiness for SEC competition. Although there will be an influx in revenue, Tech will be hard pressed to close the gap with schools such as Alabama, Florida, LSU, and Auburn, which all boast $100+ million budgets. Since 2006, SEC schools have...

Suspended Virginia Tech placekicker Cody Journell's future with the Hokies is in the hands of athletic director Jim Weaver. Journell pleaded guilty to misdemeanor trespassing charges Monday in Montgomery County General District Court. He was sentenced to a year in jail, with all but 10 days suspended, and ordered to perform 100 hours of community service. Journell has been...

Maybe I was wrong, but I was under the impression that only one scholarship would be free’d up after the 2011-2012 season. Coach Pitino may have more scholarships available than we initially thought. First it was former Virginia Tech signee Montrezl Harrell who could potentially join the team next season. We then learned Dorian Finney-Smith, a Virginia Tech transfer was also...

Montrezl Harrell, a Virginia Tech signee was finally granted a release from his letter of intent on Thursday. Harrell is one of the top available prospects left in the 2012 class. Scout.com ranks him as the 14th best power forward in the country. Harrell told 247Sports.com that at this point, Louisville, Kentucky, Alabama, Florida and North Carolina State are the five schools he...

Yesterday, in his daily update on the demise of the ACC, The Dude of WV dropped this little gem as his last line. Virginia Tech is actively talking with the SEC despite the protestations of Frank Beamer. [The Dude of WV on WVU] My understanding is that talks are contingent upon FSU leaving for the Big 12. If that happens look for the SEC and VPI to reach an agreement. North...

It’s time to check in on the Virginia Tech Hokies. Let’s get right into @HokieGuru’s piece. Past Ask A Blogger - ACC Spring Football Reports  North Carolina | Duke | Miami Good evening from @HokieGuru.  I’m here today to discuss the ACC spring football practice with each bloggers from each of the 12 Atlantic Coast Conference teams.  What follows is our interview...

The hiring of James Johnson as the new basketball coach at Virginia Tech may be as much about the 2012-13 season as any down the road. The Hokies were close to essentially having no team before various newspapers in Virginia reported the news Monday. Hiring Johnson means the program has some footing and the players threatening to leave will now matriculate in Blacksburg for next...

A person familiar with the talks says Virginia Tech has chosen James Johnson to replace Seth Greenberg as its men's basketball coach. The person told The Associated Press on Monday that Johnson will replace his former boss after spending five years as an assistant to Greenberg. Johnson left Virginia Tech on April 19 to take a similar job at Clemson. The person who spoke to...

North Carolina State assistant coach Bobby Lutz has been approached by officials at Virginia Tech to discuss the school's head-coaching vacancy, the Washington Post reported Friday. Lutz was recently promoted to associate head coach at North Carolina State under Mark Gottfried, and had a successful run as head coach at UNC Charlotte for 12 seasons. He was 218-158 there and reached...

Depending on how Virginia Tech running back David Wilson turns out as a professional, the NFL may have to consider adding backflips to the scouting combine next year. Wilson is projected to be drafted within the first two rounds either Thursday or Friday, and his freak athleticism is one of the reasons why. As you can see from the video above that SI Hot Clicks shared with us, Wilson...

Virginia Tech has fired men's basketball coach Seth Greenberg. Athletic director Jim Weaver made the announcement Monday, saying "we need to go in another direction." Greenberg spent nine seasons in Blacksburg, guiding the Hokies to a 170-123 record. They were 16-17 this year and missed postseason play for the first time in six seasons. Greenberg had four years...
