"I do know this, just from some past research: missing on many of the state's top recruits in a given year wouldn't be unprecedented for Virginia Tech. In 2006 -- the Percy Harvin year -- the Hokies missed out on Virginia's top 10 recruits, nabbing the No. 11 player and last four-star recruit on Rivals' list, defensive end John Graves.
That year's class still produced nine All-ACC players (three were walk-ons at kicker or punter) and went 52-16 from 2006-10, winning three ACC titles. So take all recruiting news with a grain of salt."

I may be mistaken, but I think just Percy Harvin.
