Don't discount role of much bigger budget. But JF's done a great job w/ it.

My initial thoughts on JF were ...whatever
FlintMS • 12/03/25 03:23 PM ET
I had no thoughts because I didn't he would even sniff us
HokiesACC2004 • 12/03/25 04:42 PM ET
It was a mutual match. I'm not sure all these flips would necessarily go

Even before NIL, Franklin's recruiting classes averaged #5-20
MKD • 12/03/25 04:23 PM ET
#5 to #20 at PSU isn't exceptional. What he's done at VT so far is.**
marcbvtgm • 12/03/25 04:31 PM ET
Maybe not exceptional, but excellent. The man can flat out recruit.
MKD • 12/03/25 04:34 PM ET
#5-#20 in recruiting at PSU is exactly where PSU is expected to be.**
marcbvtgm • 12/03/25 05:25 PM ET
Ok, I give up. You win**
MKD • 12/03/25 05:29 PM ET
Definity was the perfect storm...and not many coaches could have done this**
FlintMS • 12/03/25 04:08 PM ET
Not even with the new pile of money?**
VaPoly07 • 12/03/25 04:12 PM ET
No way he does it w/o the new $$. But prob nobody else does it w/ new $$**
marcbvtgm • 12/03/25 04:22 PM ET
Franklin's looking to flip the top 3 Michigan recruits as well**
section11hokie • 12/03/25 03:43 PM ET
he keeps flipping, ihop might come after him**
FlintMS • 12/03/25 03:45 PM ET
Free pancake combo with purchase of one after every Hokie win!**
section11hokie • 12/03/25 03:57 PM ET
Throw in a side a turkey bacon**
FlintMS • 12/03/25 04:01 PM ET
These are really unique circumstances though, as well
JoesterVT • 12/03/25 03:33 PM ET
But it's still a Franklin wave. No other coach could do this...
Techsupport • 12/03/25 03:45 PM ET
CFP or bust I'm predicting CFP appearance and a ACC Trophy within 5 years.

UVA/Duke is about to win the ACC. It's a low bar actually.
Techsupport • 12/03/25 04:04 PM ET
Sorry I misread the post. Yes, winning an ACC championship is not crazy.
marcbvtgm • 12/03/25 04:11 PM ET
Exactly. I expect us to get to the ACC title game next year. Why not?**
Coach McGuirk • 12/03/25 04:10 PM ET
Expect? Slow down. Still need a whole bunch of portal players.
marcbvtgm • 12/03/25 04:28 PM ET
Gap has tightened on the recruiting trail
HokiesACC2004 • 12/03/25 04:44 PM ET
You're looking at the numbers thru O&M glasses. Gap is still pretty big.**
marcbvtgm • 12/03/25 05:26 PM ET
Not as big as it was
HokiesACC2004 • 12/03/25 05:59 PM ET
UVA did it. That's all that needs to be said. But if you add Franklin to
Coach McGuirk • 12/03/25 04:33 PM ET
I didn't say it couldn't be done. But it hasn't yet. **
marcbvtgm • 12/03/25 05:28 PM ET
Well, all of these commits are freshmen. TBD how many portal players JF can
VaPoly07 • 12/03/25 04:14 PM ET
The timing of everything...
crazylane • 12/03/25 03:39 PM ET
and more NIL $, bigger support staff, admin committment,etc. **
