David Wilson -- A gentlemen's gentleman.
Editor's Note: A lot of Hokies are feeling frustrated today after all the recruiting misses and this sums most of it up. We'll never endorse any of our coaches to be fired, but as long as their goals remain to recruit the best players in Virginia and win a National Championship then they must step up and do that.
A few weeks ago I was at work having a conversation with an Oregon alum who was fired up for his upcoming trip to Arizona.
He wore Oregon gear to the office literally two weeks in a row, and who could blame him? I was oozing jealousy.

Robert Lockhart rose as quickly as anyone in the recruiting ranks this winter. And on Monday, he ended a late-January recruiting frenzy for his services and picked his college.
Lockhart (6-1, 180, No. 36 on the Big Board) verbally committed to Virginia Tech, choosing the Hokies over Kansas State, Nebraska and Vanderbilt, among others.
“I really got close to Coach (Frank) Beamer,” Lockhart said late Monday night.
The senior receiver, who didn’t play football his junior season so he could focus on basketball, transferred from Boca Raton to West Boca Raton after his sophomore year. He had a breakout senior season at West Boca, catching 34 passes for 686 yards and six touchdowns. He earned Palm Beach Post All-Area First Team honors.
His senior season brought about late interest from several BCS schools, and he visited Kansas State, Virginia Tech and Nebraska all in a span of five days. All those visits took place after Lockhart’s MVP performance in the Palm Beach County-Treasure Coast High School Football All-Star Game, formerly known as the Outback Bowl. He scored two touchdowns in that game and made the play of the game with an outstretched, over-the-defender catch.
Before the season started, Lockhart was considered a better basketball player than football player. He’s still a fantastic hoops player — he’s second in the area in scoring, averaging 21.4 points a game for seventh-ranked West Boca — but football emerged as his best meal ticket to college. Lockhart, who plays wing in hoops, had basketball scholarship offers from Jacksonville and North Florida.

I initially wrote this article a few weeks back, but lost it to the HTML sharks.
The hot topic around Hokie Town and its blog-o-sphere has been what changes should/need to be made in light of the thrashing we experienced at the Orange Bowl. Posts have run the gamut from “Fire Frank Beamer” to “Spread Offense FTW” to “Why the hell does Coach Newsome have a job”. What I’d like to do is take a second to address the potential changes we could see in the off-season and determine just how likely they are.
