My thoughts from the jump was to not judge

Pry completely until after the 2024 season was complete. Recruiting wise, that '24 class needs to be an upgrade over this '23 class, and a significant upgrade (top20, maybe?) would be wonderful. I am impressed with the finishing "kick" we are seeing here just prior to the early signing date. That, to me, anyway, is a very good sign that there is a lot of the selling of Virginia Tech going on by this staff, and their tactics are beginning to bear fruit. I think the RB from Richmond might end up being a very important recruit flip for Pry before all is said and done. Maybe on the field, who knows, but for some reason, that kid flipping to VT strikes me as something that might reverberate among other recruits in the state. Maybe not this year, but in the years ahead of us. Sometimes, all it takes is one, and the rest will follow. Keeping the faith!

After what I heard during the Fu regime, surprised anyone wanted to stay
EDGEMAN • 12/15/22 04:16 PM ET
That's why you should dismiss "what you heard" or find better sources. IMHO**
seacain • 12/15/22 07:39 PM ET
So the former players themselves aren’t good sources?

UNC is a basketball school and every male athlete there knows it **

Female athletes know they are a soccer school**
EDGEMAN • 12/15/22 08:52 AM ET
Female athletes THINK they're a soccer school. It's a men's b-ball school.**

It's BOTH.**
Hokeedokee • 12/17/22 11:05 AM ET
which is why I said "Male"... which sport brings in more revenue? **

Non-revenue athletes don't care where the money comes from, just that it...

EDGEMAN • 12/15/22 09:59 AM ET
I wouldn't say recruiting is better than most expected. They're all 3-stars
ChrisLords • 12/15/22 04:29 AM ET
VT has gotten two 5 stars in the last 20 years**

fordham • 12/15/22 09:15 AM ET
Not sure what they expect from a 3-win team that had no offense.
EDGEMAN • 12/15/22 09:29 AM ET
It feels like you are actively attempting to lower expectations.

We have rarely in our history to be top 20 so seriously doubt it happens
fordham • 12/15/22 03:17 PM ET
never say never
hokieone • 12/16/22 10:38 AM ET
We definitely needed to get our foot in the door for Virginia players.
