Since Justin Fuente was hired as head coach of the Hokies, Virginia Tech has extended scholarship offers all around the country, well outside of Frank Beamer's preferred six-hour driving radius to Tech. Moreover, Tech's hammered the JUCO ranks, a recruiting strategy Beamer Co. sparingly used. Tech secured the services of possible quarterback of the future Jerod Evans from a junior college in Texas. Although, don't expect Tech to make its hay in the JUCO ranks and outside the state of Virginia. Fuente met with reporters Thursday to convey some of his recruiting strategy and other tidbits.
Fuente said JUCO signees won't be the norm with the #Hokies. This year about replenishing depth. Wants to build program through HS ranks.— Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) January 7, 2016
Fuente also said he expects Virginia to be primary recruiting focus for new staff. Not sending army of recruiters to Texas, Midwest. #Hokies— Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) January 7, 2016
Fuente said there's no recruiting coordinator among the coaches, per se. Said lots of people involved in larger recruiting strategy. #Hokies— Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) January 7, 2016
#Hokies football coach Justin Fuente praised the work of @ChuckCantor. Said team will be hiring an additional recruiting support position.— Mike Barber (@RTD_MikeBarber) January 7, 2016
