757 man. The Beamer name is legendary there, and I’d be willing to bet that area has produced as much NFL/NBA talent as any region anywhere, especially when you consider the biggest city (Va. Beach - 400k) is a fraction of Charlotte and definitely ATL. Charlotte hasn’t produced an Iverson, Vick(s), Bruce Smith, Curry, Mourning, Aaron Brooks, Percy Harvin, Plaxico, Kam Chancellor, Dre Bly…….too many to name. If he could build a pipeline there, he’d do more than save his job.
Yes, we need to build some excitement and get some of the NC Top 30, but I’ll be damned if the entire state has anything on the Hampton Roads. I mean honestly, Frank locked down that area for about 50 years, and look how much better VT was than any NC school for those 50 years, with a few exceptions from Mack Part I.
