Junior Days, the Spring Game, and New Video Boards

An Extra Junior Day Gives Recruits Another Option

Virginia Tech recruitniks have been asking for a second Junior Day for years.  In the past, the Hokies have had just one Junior Day event, along with the Spring Game.  Going forward, they will now host two Junior Day events.

Why the change?  It gives rising seniors an extra opportunity to visit Blacksburg.  Like it or not, it’s harder to get to Blacksburg from Virginia’s most talented recruiting territories.  Take a look at the travel distance from the recruiting hotbeds to both Blacksburg and Charlottesville:

Virginia Beach to Blacksburg: 5 hours, 17 minutes
Virginia Beach to Charlottesville: 2 hours, 59 minutes
Richmond to Blacksburg: 3 hours, 30 minutes
Richmond to Charlottesville: 1 hour, 12 minutes
Manassas to Blacksburg: 3 hours, 54 minutes
Manassas to Charlottesville: 1 hour, 47 minutes
