He used this year to analyze, and then trimmed the chaff is my guess. On3 has an interesting tracker where they assign values both in outgoing and incoming portal entries. The outgoing rankings for VT is very telling as to the talent level over in Blacksburg last year, especially when you look at some comparable programs. What has left VT, for the most part, shouldn't have been here to begin with. For every Kaleb Smith, who himself was a walk on at VT, there are a dozen or more who are pretty much what their ratings say they are. The average of the player that entered the portal for VT was 55 and change. In contrast, the recruiting rankings for incoming potential signees right now is in the 86 range. VT had basically nowhere to go but up. ** Edited by hokieone at 12/14/2022, 2:04:23 PM ** Edited by hokieone at 12/14/2022, 2:04:46 PM ** Edited by hokieone at 12/14/2022, 2:05:28 PM
