It's that time of year again and I will be headed to Nashville for 247Sports' corporate office, aka The Fortress of Bad-Assery.
I fly out this morning (Tuesday) and will return on Saturday evening for rankings meetings and our national convention.
Have no fear, we will have you covered with content throughout the week. We will not be covering the NBA Top100 Camp but will have coverage of UVa's 7-on-7/Big Man Camp on Saturday, courtesy of Jay Jenkins.
As always, we will have you covered in the breaking news department.
Some of you will recall that we actually broke two commitments during last year's convention, so maybe this trip will trip will bring some luck to UVa fans.
Well, there you have it. If anyone needs me in transit, feel free to e-mail me, tweet me, or send me a facebook message. All of my info is in my signature below.
Wish me luck ...

Sounds fun. Is this the meeting where you single-handedly lower the ranking on all of the Hokie commits?
