Though football practice begins in less than a month, everyone seems to want
to talk about recruiting right now. The Hokies lost two prospects over the
weekend, including a Top Five in-state player who decided to attend North
Carolina. The further this recruiting season goes, the more it is beginning to
resemble the Class of 2006.
If you don't remember the 2006 recruiting class, it's probably because you've
blocked out such a bad memory from your brain. Here's a refresher. The Hokies
signed just one of the top 10 recruits from the state of Virginia that year, and
only three of the top 20. Big names went out of state, such as Percy Harvin,
Chris Bell, Brandon Minor and Jarrell Miller.
