Commit in, guys bball with huge win; girls on the hardwood today
Number 10 as Derek Mason builds back up the recruiting class. Three-star defensive back Khari Blasingame, a 6’1″, 203 pound safety out of New Market, Alabama (Buckhorn High School), committed last night on his official visit to VU. Khari had committed to Minnesota in December, but informed the Minnesota coaches last night that he had changed to VU. As a senior, Khari recorded 74 tackles, 58 unassisted, with two interceptions and a fumble recovery on defense. As a running back, he ran for 1,163 yards and 10 TDs. Good pickup here. Khari could be a running back for us as we need some bigger guys at the RB position, though Jerron Seymour and Biran Kimbrow give us toughness and go the distance speed. Really like Jerron and Brian is coming along. Upcoming redshirt freshman Ralph Webb looked pretty powerful on film at 5’10”, 190 and Jerron is at 200 and Kimbrow will probably be 190-195 by the start of the season next year with speed to go the distance anytime be breaks through the line of scrimmage. Kimbrow is a 4.4 guy. Also in this class, high three-star running back Dallas Rvers, a 6’0″, 200 pounder from Stone Mountain, Georgia, will help immensely in the coming years. Good size and speed. If Khari stays in the secondary, we have an outstanding secondary class with four-stars Kyle Gibson, Emmanuel Smith and solid to high three-stars Trent Sherfield, Bryce Lewis and Tre Herndon coming in this fall. Would like to see us add a lineman or two on offense and defense, a wide receiver, Kameron Uter is on campus this weekend and he may recommit after de-commiting a week and a half ago, and maybe add a quarterback or two. Shawn Stankavage,, a 6’3, 185 pound qb out of Raleigh, N.C. is very interested and could get an offer. Will keep you updated as soon as anyone else pops. A lot of good players on campus this weekend including all the commitments, and some uncommitted guys.
