What's this?

Wow, you just made quite the leap there, sparky.


Who talked about beating out UNC for top recruits? He just said he's recruited players VT has tried to recruit and failed. They could have gone to Florida State, Marquette, Maryland, etc... And they also probably weren't 5-star, Top 25 recruits. But if this guy helps VT get the best recruits VT can get, that's a slam dunk.

This is basically the best hire we could have made for this position, and possibly one of the best any team could have made.

Let's just leave it there and call it a day.
