Virginia Tech Mailbag: A Recruiting Heater, QB Development And Press Box Accolades

Brent Pry is on a recruiting heater lately, despite last year’s on-field results. (Ivan Morozov)

Recruiting’s on a roll and not much else is going on at this stage of the calendar, so it’s the perfect time for another Hokies mailbag. To the questions: 

I’m excited with the 2024 recruiting news this week. But help me understand: with a lackluster 2022 season why are we getting such a good 2024 recruiting class? Is this the result of having really good recruiters on staff? Or the still the “new coach smell” of Pry? Or do the recruits really get a good behind-the-scenes look of the program and can see the potential? I want to buy into the hype, but after 2022 I need to see some on-the-field results! — GiftSub2011A

What is Pry telling these recruits? Pry seems to be making a real positive impression with the recruits regarding his plans for Tech — “Man, coach (Brent) Pry is building something.” What is he telling them? — OlderHokie

Ah, the emotions that flow when your team is on a recruiting heater. It’s amazing what a little dose of optimism can do for a program.
