As the college football recruiting landscape continues to change, programs are adapting. The rise and growth of recruiting staffs has allowed coaches to run through more film and more recruits than ever before, while larger and larger recruiting budgets have made collegiate recruiting a year-round endeavor.
Virginia Tech has adapted as well.
