Timing: '13 class & staff turnover

We all know how great of a job we've done with our '13 class. I know nothings final until Feb 6 but there's no denying the potential in this class that is estimated to go down as one of the best, if not the best class in VT history. Fortunately for us, our staff turnover [fingers crossed] is expected to happen on the offensive staff so the most prized gems of our '13 class won't be in a bind, but Harris and Hodges are top talent that we don't want to lose.

7-6 season. No decommitments.. so far.. with coaching turnover on the horizon. When is the right time to make the necessary changes? I know a similar question was raised about the timing of coaching changes in regards to the bowl game, but I'm pondering the timing aspect in regards to our recruiting efforts. Is Shane the glue that holds it all together? He did recruit Harris. Hodges was recruited by Newsome (who needs to go) and Carlis Parker was recruited by Sherman (who reportedly has one foot out of the door).

Make the changes before signing day or after? Make them when the best person becomes available? Make them knowing there's a chance we could lose what could be the next 4/5 years of our qb position? Or does our recruiting class see the potential there is in Blacksburg with some staff changes and become more excited to become a part of Hokie Nation?

Obviously, this is assuming changes will be made. We don't know if changes will be made and what changes may be made. But if you're Beamer and you want to make changes, how does recruiting factor into the process?
