Hokies Exchange Program for NIL
It looks like the VT athletic department is going to work to embrace NIL opportunities for our athletes.
Very glad to see this.

Our recruiting footprint
Every now and then I get this weird itch to put a bunch of stuff in excel. I'm enjoying a quarantine at the moment, so it was as good of a time as any to break one out.
In recent press conferences and media posts, it has been implied that we won't be throwing darts past the Mississippi. Maps circulated showing a six hour driving radius from Blacksburg.
Since I'm not going to get exact on the driving radius relative to a recruit's location, this post is just about driving into a state.

Coaches recruiting territories
From what I can tell it seems like:
Jones/Mines: 757/Va beach area
Quinn/Prioleau: Northern Virginia east of 29
Marve: Northern valley/ Winchester west of 29
Glenn: Georgia as of right now
That's 6 of 10 any idea on where some of the other coaches are covering?

'Crootsmas Eve
Twas the night before Crootsmas, the first of Pry's reign
Each new coach was stirring, in rooms deep in Lane
Most offers were sent by the prior regime
In hopes a top 25 class would gain steam
The veterans were nestled all snug in their dorm
With visions of Gotham, their dreams taking form
And JC with his stogie, and Jones in his print
Hunker right down for a tough crooting stint
When cellphones start ringing a joyful serenade
Coaches dive at the phones, not a moment delayed
Answering calls as they come left and right
Gaining commitments at each hour of night
The moon overhead in the Blacksburger sky
Shone over Worsham Field as each coach lands their guy
