with UVA and the Carolina schools. Misconception on his part. He beats to his own drum. There are many, many prospects in VA and NC that would be very interested in a VT offer. VT is at obvious facilities disadvantage but VT is a very desirable destination for a lot of good players. Mason relates to the northern kids and coaches well, and relies on his Northeast roots and contacts to find guys that want to play a little further south and in the ACC.

I can name a long list of VA HS players that never received VT offers and are playing against Hokies.
