So this is a little cross-promotion with my other job, but coach Fuente will be on live with Wes McElroy in Richmond this morning at 8:05.
A few topics on deck:
The report on Torrian Gray's departure.
His thoughts on the recruiting class.
Adjusting to the job and the move to Virginia.
If you can, listen live here: http://www.iheart.com/live/fox-sports-910-richmond-2461/?autoplay=true&p...
I'll post a link to the podcast when we have it up.

This will be an interesting interview, his first done with some fans truly unhappy with something that has happened.
Well he just "coach spoke" right over the TG question.
Yeah. Doesn't look like we will be getting any info this morning.
put this also on the TG thread-
but some talk that Torrian might be in salary talk now with VT and may not be leaving.
I actually took Fu's comments as this is likely. He TG was gone- I think it would have been more of "we wish him well and thank him for his time here and he'll be great at UF"
As a huge Star Wars nerd, myself, I like Fuente even more.
Totes. I felt like he was restraining his excitement for the movie. I could kind of catch a glimpse internally he was like "the movie was awesommmmeeee have you seen it?" But realized he was on a football talk show promoting the hokies. #hokiesRespect (used out of context but in context it works)
Well, he didn't give away much, but at least it was a pretty diplomatic response. For any who missed it, he basically acknowledged how great of a person and coach Torrian is, and that anytime you have that, other schools will be interested. He didn't call the move a surprise or sudden, but totally side-stepped how long he had known this was happening. He's got the coachspeak down pat, I'd say.
Good listen, although nothing really of note that you missed if you didn't tune in.
Missed first ten minutes, but Wes closed the show reiterating that CJF "could not confirm", and that was about it for that topic.
Edit: what everyone else said before I refreshed the page.
I think all of us are disappointed with the loss of Gray, reasons he chose to leave may never be known. We have been very fortunate over the years to have very little turnover in coaching, we may have a new norm here in Hokie land. Who knows, this might be a chance to bring in a new, dynamic coach who will add to recruiting.
