The Virginia Tech Hokies just wrapped one of the better recruiting classes in school history. Various recruiting services had the Hokies anywhere between 16th and 24th, which is an impressive number for Justin Fuente’s first full year on the job.
The Hokies, who signed a total of 27 players, are losing some significant contributors from a team that won 10 games in 2016. Isaiah Ford, Bucky Hodges, Jerod Evans, Woody Baron, Jonathan McLaughlin and Chuck Clark are all gone. That means several new starters for the 2017 season and many more young players moving up the depth chart.
