While most of Virginia Tech's signees will be having their letters faxed in shortly after 7:00 a.m. their local time, most are still participating in some sort of Signing Ceremony at their schools. Here are those times, along with other events during the day.

Justin Beadles - 8:00 a.m.

Tyree Saunders - 8:00 a.m.

Jordan Brunson 10:10 a.m.

Robert Wooten - 10:30 a.m. (Central)

Justin Fuente press conference - 11:30 a.m.

*Potential Commitment* Alec Bryant - 11:00 a.m. (Central)

Derrell Bailey Jr. - 11:45 a.m.

Dorian Strong - 1:00 p.m.

Lakeem Rudolph - 1:30 p.m.

*Potential Commitment* Wilfried Pene - 2:00 p.m.

Jalen Hampton - 3:00 p.m.

Keonta Jenkins 3:00 p.m.

Given the two uncommitted prospects will be announcing their college commitments after Justin Fuente's press conference is scheduled to begin, it's possible that they'll be officially signed before they go public with those pledges.

Virginia Tech currently boasts 12 commitments, and stands No. 78 nationally in the Rivals.com Team Recruiting Rankings. The top-ranked pledge is the most recent, with Stafford (Texas) defensive end Robert Wooten committing just last night:

With a handful of potential pledges today, the Hokies can be hopeful of rising up the • charts.

• Quarterback Chandler Morris - 90 team ranking points
• Tight end Wilfried Pene - 45 team ranking points
• Defensive end Alec Bryant - 105 team ranking points
• Linebacker DJ Lundy - 75 team ranking points

Although "No. 78 nationally" hardly sounds like an enticing place to be, the small numbers available in the class - currently just 14 scholarship openings, though normal rates of attrition will see it rise to somewhere around 16-19 slots - mean the ranking will stay low. Nonetheless, even a single commitment from Bryant would vault them more than 10 spots.

Likely only Pene and Bryant are realistic options to commit today, though (150 total points would bump the Hokies to No. 67 nationally), with Morris seeming bound for another school, and Lundy unclear about whether he'll be inking in the Early Signing Period at all (though the Hokies remain in good shape if he does).

Virginia Tech has some top targets also available after the period ends, with slot receiver Chayce Bishop, multiple offensive linemen, defensive end Clinton Anokwuru, and cornerback Dwight McGlothern among those likely to wait until February to sign.

Depending on hos numbers ultimately play out today, the options in February could be interesting.
