It puzzles me as to why so many of the top players are leaving the state. If Virginia Tech offers, they should sign.

Why? That just tells me Tech isn't recruiting well enough.

Much better teams and programs out there outside of VA

Some are, some are not.

Maybe they have a chance to be part of a higher level program.
Maybe it’s an educational choice concerning a major.
Maybe another school showed them more attention.
Could be lots of things.

Why SHOULD they sign with Tech in your opinion?

I have always said: "If VT offers, players should sign with VT".

Now granted , I can see recruits leaving the state for Alabama, but not any other crappy school, like some leave for. Nor rejecting VT and going to that school in Charlottesville.

Top two went to Penn State. Maybe they offered more opportunities and better facilities.
I can understand not choosing UVA unless they are a fan.

Maybe top recruits should stay in state and sign with ODU and not a crappy school like VPI's Gobblers.

if you look at VT schedule next year maybe they want to experience DI football and not a big High school in texas

Actually, ODU is a nice program and has a great coach. As for VT, it may not be elite or not much in football or it may be great as that's debatable. But it's not a crappy school. It's an excellent academic school.
