Up to this point....,Hoos have tried everything they can---have played every card in their hand to flip the football table on supplanting Va Tech as the states premier football program - with limited success.in recruiting but no success on the field with VT, Their latest move is to hire a recruiter named Chris Beatty..per Rke Times report.
.
i believe-- if it is the same Beatty (found othe Beattys)- he has been recently associated with East Tenn St. staff But I also know, at one time (having lived in Tidewater area-)-- he had a strong presence/influence as a coach, adviser to players in terms of camps & recruiting at some point (in Tidewater 757 area). If so, VT will have to triple down on its recruiting efforts & staff and consider almost having an ongoing (live in? ) recruiting presence in Tidewater.
I believe this hire was a response to VT's recent hire of ODU's asst coach Zorhan (my apologies if name not spelled correctly).
Certainly, from what I hear --- UVA has ultra wealthy alums in Cville area --- anxious to do /paywhatever it takes to make it happen.
They tried bringing back former Hoo assistants - former tall red haired dude that left UVA to be head coach of NC ST.(forgot his name) ... and another former hoo def coordinator---- both just retired within last year....(sorry is late-just can't remember their names). I believe Beatty took one of those vacated positions -maybe combining the money from those positions to make strong salary move to retain & keep Beatty----as their recruiting warrior.. .
VT would be better off to increase/double down on their presence back into Richmond---& particularly tidewater 757. VT rise in state supremacy was built upon Tidewater....back at a time where /when Hoos kind of turned the nose up and anything except Lacrosse & basketball (Sampson effect)
