Any real chance we get that Ahmed Hill kid? Sounds like he'd fill our biggest need and we're a hell of a lot closer to Georgia than Marquette is (if distance from home would play any factor).

You can make arguments for Clemson, BC, and WF.

Clemson - History much like VT, football school with little desire to do well in basketball, record in mediocrity isn't any better than the worst record (so, not worse, maybe a tie)
BC - Weak athletic program, weak alumni base, weak college sports town, record in mediocrity
WF - Weak athletic program, just as rural and detached as Blacksburg, weak alumni base, terrible coach just retired, well passed it's glory days, future looks bleak (I do think this job is worse than VT... VT can build, WF has to be more creative with a much smaller and somewhat apathetic alumni base)

I wouldn't necessarily say that any are worse, but you could put us in a group with BC, Clemson, GT and Miami and no one would know the difference. I would rather coach at VT than NCSU for that matter because of the unreal expectations.

You keep talking about tradition, but i don't see Mark Price really helping gt pick up recruits or Tim Duncan for Wake (wake did have one season since then that were nationally relevant.) or David Thompson at NCSU. Being really good 20 years ago doesn't get you good recruits now and it won't get you a good coach either (except Notre Dame football).
