BREAKING NEWS: Hokies get early start on 2031 recruiting class

Tech Hoops fans, please welcome the newest member of the family, Lil Niemo; all 9 pounds, 1 ounce of him! Dad, mom and the Hokies’ first commit for the 2031 recruiting class are happy, healthy and doing well. Also, Niemo wanted me to let know that he wrote the previews for the next two games in the labor and delivery wing.

    Love that #1 Dad shirt! This should have been an arm curl picture though

    • Niemo

      Lol – that is true, I should have arm curled him. I guess I only arm curl giant athletes.

    Congratulations! You are about to start a wonderful adventure. OH, and you won’t play nearly as much golf for the next 15 years.

    • Niemo

      Luckily I was only into putt-putt. We will see how it impacts my HS baseball coaching – I’m missing all of tryouts this week.
