Pete Hughes is a class act, an outstanding coach and a good friend. He had 50 years of catching up to do against other ACC schools -- or as long as the Hokies should have been in the ACC but were not. It is no surprise he is making progress. Midlo is right. Hokie roots run deep in the Commonwealth and there are lots of talented players and their families who want to be part of the Virginia Tech baseball rebirth. Pete is making that very possible.
