Brent Pry wants to recruit within Virginia Tech’s 6-hour radius. (Ivan Morozov)

Virginia Tech head coach Brent Pry has finally filled out his coaching staff. What does that mean for recruiting? Where will the Hokies prioritize their efforts?

I’ve run the numbers using the 247Sports.com database for every member of Pry’s coaching to see how many players they’ve signed, and from which states. When you look the numbers in table format, and then you look at it on a map, you can see what Brent Pry is trying to accomplish.

First, here’s the table…
