Reply to "VT Mason Out"

Lets be honest to compete in the ACC you need to recruit nationally. Facilities, currently VT is nice but its not top tier, it causes recruits to pause when contemplating a move there. When my son was recruited he noticed there was no legit indoor hitting facility at the time among other issues.

If you look at Hughes' VT 2009/2010 breakout team you will notice there are a lot of out of state players and transfers. I do know a number of VA posters complained AFTER his success that he was ignoring the in state talent but is there really enough D1 talent in VA/NC to staff the numerous local D1 schools? Some of the top VA players will be recruited nationally and won't go to any school in VA. If I remember correctly driving from Raleigh to Blacksburg just about every exit had a D1 baseball school..

Maybe its time to bring back coach Gambino. Don't know his contract status, but he's one reason my son went to VT.
