With Butch Davis gone, Virginia Tech loses a thorn in its (recruiting) side

Posted Jul 28, 2011
Several of Virginia Tech’s top remaining targets for 2012 were also strongly considering North Carolina before Butch Davis’s dismissal. They include Washington area running back Wes Brown (Good Counsel) and defensive lineman Ken Ekanem (Centreville). Two other top in-state recruits – wide receiver Joel Caleb from the Richmond area and linebacker Trey Edmunds from Danville – were also considering both Virginia Tech and North Carolina, among other schools.
