re: Justin Fuente Out at VT

Auburn and Norman are both 90-200 miles from some of the best recruiting grounds in the nation.

Notre Dame is not. These shouldn't even be comparable. ND is a small, freezing cold Catholic school in the middle of nowhere. They should be recruting equivalent to Nebraska or Purdue, but they don't. They typically bring in top 8-12 type classes, even when Charlie and Tye Willingham were there.

It's actually quite remarkable how well they do despite their Geographic limitations.

Virginia Tech and Beamer, on the other hand, used to own the VA Tidewater/Norfolk area in recruiting. That's where Michael Vick came from and Beamer was on that region before the other schools like Alabama and Ohio State, Clemson, and other powers started raiding it when VA Tech declined.

Can someone bring back VA Tech recruiting? Yeah, absolutely, but none of the teenagers today remember anything about the glory days of the VA Tech in the 90s and early 00s.
