1) High school players that are recruited as “Athletes” are generally converted from their HS position to one of need once they arrive on campus. It feels like Frank Beamer used to put those players on the defensive side of the ball, and that Justin Fuente uses those players on offense. Is that true? Can we look at players recruited at VT since joining the ACC as “Athletes” and where they were used once they arrived on campus? – VTownie
