In today’s recruiting Q&A, Chris Horne and Chris Coleman tackle several
questions, including who would be the top playmaker of the 2012 class, and
whether or not the Hokies are getting more active in their pursuit of top
prospects outside their normal recruiting area.

1) Do you see our recruiting changing now that Cornell and Shane are on
board, or is it too early to tell? Are we after more big time recruits, and why
did we take a relative unknown lineman from Pennsylvania? Was this done because
of Drew Harris, or is this kid pretty good?

Chris Horne: For the first part, I wouldn’t say there is a big difference
from what Virginia Tech typically does, but perhaps there is a little bit of
energy infused with the new blood. As I mentioned in the last Q&A, I do
think Tech has been more active earlier in the process, extending offers
earlier, etc., but I wouldn’t say that’s a product of Shane and Cornell coming
aboard.
