Most, if not all, of Virginia Tech's Class of 2025 signees are officially in the boat. But are Brent Pry's recruiting wins enough to push his program in the right direction?
I don’t disagree on the bottoming out of Fuente’s group and I’m not even saying I think Fuente was better. But I think Tech has had a problem in VA for quite a while. Not that VA is the top state for football talent but looking at the kids that left to go other places, Tech is getting beaten out by other conferences. I don’t have the answers but I’d like to believe that there is something that can be done. But I also believe the program needs to have a shift as well. Tech is going to take a beating in the Carolinas with Coach Bill going to UNC. Is it time to revamp the entire AD and staff? Probably. But will Tech? Doubt it. I’ve been following this program for many decades and with the exception of a handful of FB’s years it has done the same thing. It feels somewhat like the program can’t get out of its own way at times. I’m a proud Hokie and Tech owns VA but it’s time to start thinking bigger. I just don’t know how that happens without big changes.
