Personally, I’m wary, but some will say it worked for Cignetti

Neither Virginia tech of James Madison throw the ball very well and the QBs are seniors. JMU is currently 7th in the country in rushing compared to VT at 40th. The Dukes starting RB and guards and tackles are underclassmen so maybe. But the Hokies RBs are higher rated players. On defense Chesney runs a 4-2-5. A lot of the key spots are filled by seniors. But if the new coach switches the defensive scheme, some players knowing the system would help. Overall VT football players are better than JMU ones. But if Chesney ends up being the new coach, it would be safe to expect some of his underclassmen would transfer with him.

He brought 70 to JMU th 1st year & 50 last year, history of portaling lot

Probably about 10 players total would be my guess.

On defense, without question, better in almost every way

I'm sure he'd bring a number of players who would help to varying degrees.**

Based upon the prowess shown by JMU this season...absolutely an upgrade.
