- Now that CB Kendall Fuller has committed to Virginia Tech, attention shifts to what type of impact he’ll have. Of the ACC’s 68 five-star recruits in the last 12 years, only 11 have made All-ACC in their career. The Daily Press’ David Teel lists them all and looks at Fuller’s chances.

- Most of us would love to have Virginia DT Vincent Croce’s problem. He was losing weight when he wanted to gain it.

Problem solved: Croce is up to 280 now and talked to VirginiaSports.com’s Jeff White.
- NC State opens the football season with a showdown against Tennessee, but the game doesn’t make the list of 11 can’t-miss ACC games this season. Two other games from opening weekend are on there. Andrew Jones of Fox Sports Carolina lists his top 11.

- DE Malliciah Goodman has 11 1/2-inch hands and wears a XXXXL glove. He looks the part of an NFL prospect, but now he needs to play the part on the field for the Tigers. Travis Sawchik looks at Goodman for the Post and Courier.
