Recruiting numbers are just awful....
n2beaches • 05/13/25 07:50 PM ET
Let's see, On3 has 2025 recruiting class ranked 38 and Portal ranked 24th

The $64,000 question is ....
Reston Hokie2 • 05/14/25 08:55 PM ET
In it's defense, it is dark and lonely in mother's basement, and depression

Poor Baby
Reston Hokie2 • 05/14/25 08:34 PM ET
He isn’t a hokie**
Planner_Hokie • 05/14/25 09:13 PM ET
Concerned about Pry on the Field but his talent acquisition is solid
Jhanks98 • 05/14/25 05:02 PM ET
Weren’t Tuten, Lane, APR all part of that 2023 class?
hokiepro • 05/14/25 04:39 PM ET
We will win the easy ones and lose the hard ones
Rahvatech • 05/14/25 04:25 PM ET
I'd look more at average recruit ranking than overall class ranking.
Hokie_Forester • 05/14/25 03:26 PM ET
These are worthless and should not be called recruiting classes. It's all
HokieMark88 • 05/14/25 03:17 PM ET
It's not all on Pry. It's MUCH larger than just Head Coach Pry. MUCH
91HokieBob • 05/14/25 12:01 PM ET
We all know ? What can we do?**
RiverVT • 05/14/25 05:54 PM ET
I can think of another constant. But looking in the mirror isn't easy.
marcbvtgm • 05/14/25 02:13 PM ET
Thanks for sharing.**
91HokieBob • 05/14/25 03:36 PM ET
But people pretty much said the same about Jim Weaver
VTCALS72 • 05/14/25 12:24 PM ET
So, Babcock hasn’t hired a fundraiser as the head of the Hokie Club
RJHokie • 05/14/25 12:38 PM ET
I’ve never been contacted by the Hokie Club for a donation **
VPI 1924 • 05/14/25 01:45 PM ET
If you graduated in the class of '24, maybe they think you're deceased. JK!**
ancient alien 2018 • 05/14/25 09:31 PM ET
Are you on the alumni mailing list?**
RJHokie • 05/14/25 03:56 PM ET
I’ve donated a scholarship **

Well, there you go……..

Wasting your time.......

NokieHokie • 05/14/25 12:54 PM ET
I'd choose both!!**

Quit trying to depict Whit as a victim! HE IS NOT A VICTIM!
saret • 05/14/25 12:37 PM ET
Those are some very erudite and contemplative remarks. Maybe he told Sands
uber hokie • 05/16/25 08:23 AM ET
Oh stop it, I have been reading your post since 2020
VTCALS72 • 05/14/25 09:13 PM ET
Don’t lie. You were reading his posts in your ampy days**
Brewing_Hokie • 05/14/25 10:30 PM ET
And I've been reading yours just as long, and they're just apologistic.
saret • 05/14/25 09:34 PM ET
the receipts you bring tell me you are butt hurt by the Athletic Dept
VTCALS72 • 05/16/25 12:44 PM ET
Let's be real......
2hhoop3 • 05/16/25 02:02 PM ET
Dude has no shame... He should so ashamed of himself getting thoroughly
NokieHokie • 05/16/25 02:10 PM ET
Yeah, I remember that post. My meeting was with TILI,
saret • 05/16/25 01:50 PM ET
Good response.
RJHokie • 05/14/25 09:41 PM ET
Excellent post!**
saret • 05/14/25 12:15 PM ET
Agree, and good points.
RJHokie • 05/14/25 12:15 PM ET
What would be interesting is...
SarahVTHokie24 • 05/14/25 11:10 AM ET
Not sure that will......
2hhoop3 • 05/14/25 11:27 AM ET
I have to disagree a little bit here...
SarahVTHokie24 • 05/14/25 02:06 PM ET
It won't tell anything, nor is it even interesting at all.**
NokieHokie • 05/14/25 11:32 AM ET
maybe we should only recruit HS for depth/developmental talent (3-stars)
kingofcassell • 05/14/25 09:33 AM ET
…need to go after Javaris Jamar Javarison-Lamar**
chumley • 05/14/25 05:25 PM ET
"Most" "experts" don't agree. Well that settles it.
marcbvtgm • 05/14/25 09:30 AM ET
Recruiting is not the issue. It is coaching. Hopefully the new oc and dc
budforpresident • 05/14/25 09:29 AM ET
On3 transfer rankings paint a very different picture I believe. **
st_andrew • 05/14/25 09:16 AM ET
The only year you provided that isn't on par with our general recruiting
BG Hokie • 05/14/25 08:55 AM ET
Now, let's do it for Duke...

Ahhhhh the head numb nut speaks** ◄
Reston Hokie2 • 05/14/25 09:06 PM ET
His post was about transfer portal rankings no? Not HS rankings**
NOFX • 05/14/25 03:05 PM ET
Ah...yeah. I see that now.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 05/14/25 03:15 PM ET
Wonder where VT ranks avg per player**
MrFantastic! • 05/14/25 03:02 PM ET
Exactly!**
EDGEMAN • 05/14/25 10:43 AM ET
And Iowa State...
Chris ColemanAdmin • 05/14/25 09:01 AM ET
It is simple
3Manysons • 05/14/25 08:35 AM ET
You're applying a pre-NIL standard. Can't recruit better than our payroll..
Techsupport • 05/14/25 08:23 AM ET
Need to point the cross hairs one notch up………
MontgomeryTexasHokie • 05/14/25 07:00 AM ET
Ahhhhhh another numb nut speaks ...**
Reston Hokie2 • 05/14/25 09:08 PM ET
Hmmm...showed up and started calling people "numb nuts"...
Chris ColemanAdmin • 05/14/25 09:19 PM ET
He didn't just call "people" numb nuts.. **
Will StewartAdmin • 05/14/25 11:12 PM ET
IMO, I don't think it's a put down that is used enough today.**
reestuart • 05/15/25 08:31 AM ET
CC would appreciate "slap nuts" more**
BROman Hokie • 05/15/25 09:39 AM ET
🤣**
reestuart • 05/15/25 09:43 AM ET
If the Power 2 ever expands to 48 teams...we're right on the bubble :>/**
Tuckahokie • 05/14/25 06:35 AM ET
If you want better recruiting, stop complaining and go buy some guys**
BROman Hokie • 05/14/25 06:28 AM ET
Hell at the moment I'd be happy if they actually played like a top 50 team
MaryWashGrad • 05/13/25 09:15 PM ET
"Crutch time"...is that a Lisfranc injury joke? TIC**
MP4VT2004 • 05/13/25 10:14 PM ET
So let me get this straight
Seikoh_04 • 05/13/25 08:44 PM ET
It wasn’t. The nfl draft this year was a weak class. Experts have all said
3TechFanz • 05/14/25 08:25 AM ET
most curious, 'everyone' less the only 1 who got it, right➡️
bourbonstreet • 05/13/25 10:57 PM ET
2024 roster had some talent, but not enough. The talent was evident by the
n2beaches • 05/13/25 10:40 PM ET
VT had enough talent to be successful, but not enough to avoid mediocrity.
marcbvtgm • 05/14/25 02:17 PM ET
I think we have 17 guys in NFL camps.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 05/14/25 08:42 AM ET
We had a really, really talented team last year. Which is depressing.
beedubyah • 05/14/25 11:49 AM ET
I'm not sure I'd go that far. We weren't bereft of talent but we also
AbsolutVT03 • 05/14/25 02:24 PM ET
It wasn't "really, really" talented. Not even close. But there was talent.**
marcbvtgm • 05/14/25 02:18 PM ET
Now do the OL
Squatro • 05/14/25 11:09 AM ET
And you, like many here, would be wrong again on this point
marcbvtgm • 05/14/25 02:22 PM ET
we had 2 guys that are now in NFL camps and 3 guys that have
GusDaMan • 05/14/25 11:30 AM ET
Of last year's starting OL...
Chris ColemanAdmin • 05/14/25 11:19 AM ET
Fair enough.
Squatro • 05/15/25 09:13 AM ET
Not necessarily coaching per se, but scheme.**
marcbvtgm • 05/16/25 02:52 PM ET
It's easy for me to believe bad ratings are a result of bad coaching. This
BG Hokie • 05/15/25 09:41 AM ET
much more succinct - and thus speedier - than my reply lol**
GusDaMan • 05/14/25 11:31 AM ET
it was worth repeating, IMO.**
reestuart • 05/14/25 01:48 PM ET
yeah, there were more than 6 wins on that roster. Maybe not 10 wins
reestuart • 05/14/25 09:15 AM ET
really valid point. **
VTCALS72 • 05/14/25 08:26 AM ET
Absolutely! No honest evaluation of the talent the Hokies had a year ago
Hokie1992 • 05/14/25 07:02 AM ET
Does that explain why VT was 1-12 in 1-score games?
EDGEMAN • 05/14/25 05:46 AM ET
We were more than talented enough to win 8 games last year
VTCALS72 • 05/14/25 08:30 AM ET
Those pesky facts will get after ya :)**
