Congrats to our own Shane Beamer for getting honored as one of the nation's top recruiters. Shane's the man and I'm glad others recognize it. If you have a twitter, send him a quick congrats. He always has our back on twitter #Hokienation so let's return the favor. Go Hokies!

Great job!
Just where at......
.....in the top 50? I smell an 40th place medal from the so called pundits of recruiting.
I know Shane Beamer is a great recruiter, but yea, top 50 is like a participation medal. If you recruit in the upper-tier of the BCS conference, more than likely you're in the top 50. None the less...
I see negative score, so let me clarify. My point is this. VT is ranked 14th in the 247 recruititing rankings. If VT didn't have a recruiter in the top 50, it would be an embarrassment.
Shane is one hell of a recruiter. One of the best and I want him to be top 5, which maybe he will be in 2014. Anyone who thinks I'm negative on Shane is wrong. I'm negative about the fact that 247 is giving out an "award" for something that every top recruiting team should have.
If you look at the article, Mike Groh from Bama was number 1. Then the list provides anywhere from one to three coaches per the "who's who" of BCS teams. Pretty much the top contending teams. What's scary is teams like Michigan had three guys. So they don't break down rankings or actual placement.
Given each team has 9 (I think?) coaches that can recruit
A top 50 mention is notable.
Shane really genuinely loves Blacksburg and VT. I think recruits see this, and want to be a part of it.
