Episode Notes
The Hokies just keep stacking blue-chip talent. This week, Pete and Sam break down Virginia Tech football landing its FIFTH 4-star commitment in the 2027 class and what it says about the direction of the program on the recruiting trail.
The guys also dive into Sam’s thoughts on Whit Babcock’s tenure in Blacksburg, discuss how attractive the Virginia Tech AD job really is in today’s college athletics landscape, and debate whether Virginia Tech Hokies baseball has done enough to earn an NCAA Tournament bid.
