Makes more sense after seeing this.Someone on VTs staff is good friends with Dalton's father. So there's that.
Yeah I wouldn't expect VT to have sustained success in that aspect.Just because I was curious, I went back a few years and looked at how many recruits VT gets from west of the Mississippi, since we never really seem to be up against them too often. From 2012-2015, they signed 0 kids from west of the Mississippi. In 2016, they signed 1 (Juco QB from Texas).
So Keene is the obvious outlier from their normal recruiting footprint, which I am sure is due to his father's relationship with the VT staff.
And VT has an entirely new staff, so their recruiting footprint is likely to change.Just because I was curious, I went back a few years and looked at how many recruits VT gets from west of the Mississippi, since we never really seem to be up against them too often.
