Checked On3 team recruiting: so far VT is only being out recruited by

Miami and Clemson. And I see no Virginians on Miami's list and only 1 on Clemson's. We have lost 1 blue chipper to Ohio State but none to Michigan and they always dip into our Commonwealth to take top 10 players. Other powers that have enjoyed taking our top 25 players from us routinely that have no Virginians as yet (in order of my past irritation): Penn State, UNC, FSU, Notre Dame, and Louisville. Because of the youth and inexperience on the team I give Coach Franklin a 2 year pass on getting VT to the top 20 and 4 years to the top 10 but as someone famously said long ago: "recruiting is 90% of success in college ball" and I am very pleased with recruiting. ** Edited by BigDaddyHokie at 5/28/2026, 7:20:18 PM

Nope. We don't need no stinkin' Talent❗

Don't get too excited because HS RECRUITING RANKINGS ARE BS!
Flanker • 05/28/26 03:29 PM ET
Flawed logic IMO....
TekkNerd • 05/29/26 06:37 AM ET
i respect your opinion but I still say that RECRUITING RANKINGS ARE BS!
Flanker • 05/29/26 08:23 AM ET
Don't understand your point in reference to VT?
TOUGH TURKEY • 05/29/26 01:41 PM ET
UGA QB Stetson Bennett won two natties and he was a TWO STAR.recruit!
Flanker • 05/29/26 02:09 PM ET
There is always exceptions **
VaTechHokiesACC • 06/02/26 01:18 AM ET
Way too many exceptions! Marcus Vick was a five star recruit. **
Flanker • 06/02/26 10:20 AM ET
Let's cut to the chase here
TekkNerd • 05/29/26 09:22 AM ET
In five years, Imma tell ya that I done told ya so!
Flanker • 05/29/26 12:14 PM ET
Well....I tried, you're only interested in supporting your analysis.
TekkNerd • 05/29/26 12:29 PM ET
HIndsight is 20/20 and I've proved that RECRUITING RANKINGS ARE BS!
Flanker • 05/29/26 02:04 PM ET
3% of 3* make NFL. 24% of 4* make NFL. What pond you fishing in?
Techsupport • 06/01/26 08:31 AM ET
You don't even understand the whole point of my analyis.
Flanker • 06/01/26 12:16 PM ET
I think you're the one missing the point...
Techsupport • 06/01/26 02:48 PM ET
I knew you couldn't pull up any sources. I back up what I say with analysis
Flanker • 06/01/26 03:16 PM ET
Really? Here ya go...
Techsupport • 06/01/26 03:22 PM ET
Your article proves my point. There is more talent below 4 & 5 stars
Flanker • 06/01/26 03:35 PM ET
I'm going to try one more time....then I'm done...lol
Techsupport • 06/01/26 05:01 PM ET
I deal with facts. I'm not going to bother with your hypothetical pearl BS!
Flanker • 06/01/26 05:31 PM ET
What kind of stupid response is that?
HokieNL • 06/01/26 08:52 AM ET
The round earth kind**
Techsupport • 06/01/26 09:07 AM ET
Ok. I laughed. 😂**
HokieNL • 06/01/26 09:10 AM ET
You have only proven it to yourself, and that's perfectly fine.
TekkNerd • 05/29/26 02:35 PM ET
+ 1000**
samistone • 05/29/26 06:31 PM ET
Yeah, talent and performance are way overated.**
Hardcore_Hokie • 05/29/26 06:37 AM ET
Individual projections of talent and performance are overrated.
marcbvtgm • 05/29/26 01:25 PM ET
Then I guess talent evaluation is also overrated. Why even try?**
Hardcore_Hokie • 05/30/26 03:37 PM ET
For sure nothing is certain
crazylane • 05/28/26 04:59 PM ET
Have you sent this to Franklin? He obviously has no idea what he's doing**
Techsupport • 05/28/26 04:47 PM ET
Franklin and VT are killing it in recruiting, but....that being said.....
jonnyhawk • 05/28/26 01:10 PM ET
Agreed, he needs to win 8 or 9 to keep momentum going this season.
TekkNerd • 05/28/26 06:28 PM ET
I think the VMI game will be a good start getting our momentum rolling.
EDGEMAN • 05/28/26 06:51 PM ET
VMI as a 730 game
Hokie1992 • 05/29/26 06:07 AM ET
AM?
EDGEMAN • 05/29/26 06:34 AM ET
And I thought Noon games were annoying! 😂**
HokieNL • 06/01/26 05:33 PM ET
1930 for the military people
Hokie1992 • 05/29/26 06:52 AM ET
Two Years?
likehokies • 05/28/26 01:35 PM ET
Having a QB who can complete passes will give us an edge we've been missing**
EDGEMAN • 05/28/26 06:54 PM ET
There aren't many good QBs without an offensive line that can pass block**
marcbvtgm • 05/29/26 01:30 PM ET
Edge? Edgeman. That's the edge, a QB who wears his glasses.**
likehokies • 05/29/26 09:16 AM ET
Another thing, he;'s doing differently
