I lived in Hampton Roads for about 6 years, there is a HUGE SEC presence there. Basically, UVA and Tech are playing from behind in the most talent rich area of the state. And the rare talent that comes from the hills, usually is trying to get the frick out of there.
see therein lies the question. Why is that? If I were a kid from Virginia, I'd kill for the opportunity to go to school like UVA.

Yea......that isn't the way 4 and 5 star kids in the Tidewater think, though.

Most kids in general do want to go to UVA. Just not the football-playing ones.
George Welsh, Al Groh, and Mike London all got players to UVA. Welsh especially was very successful in the 90s.
There are a lot of factors at play, but UVA's program hasn't been run competently for a long time. The Ronald Curry/Michael Vick deal was also damaging for UVA, perception-wise.

There's a simple answer, $$$, HS Football in Hampton Roads is corrupt as shite, and a lot of the coaches push their players to SEC schools.
Beamer was never willing to play that game, and UVA has been dogshit for like 30 years. Plus, have you ever been to Blacksburg? It's lame as frick for a college town, I don't know how Beamer ever recruited there.
