BLACKSBURG – The first day of the new December national signing period for prospective football prospects came and went, and the words “odd,” “different,” and “strange” were used to describe the day by many coaching staffs around the country, including Virginia Tech’s.
“I clicked over after our staff meeting on ESPN and ESPN2, and I didn’t see all the hype that you’ve seen in the past signing days,” Tech defensive coordinator Bud Foster said. “So it’s interesting … it was just different, when it’s all said and done.”
Despite the oddness of the day, Tech’s staff performed quite well, adding 24 prospects to the program, including six from Virginia, five from North Carolina and four from Florida in keeping with the program’s traditional recruiting bases.
