Hokie Golfer

1 or 2 5 stars and 3 or 4 4 stars would probably do it

get some portal additions, bring in some coaches that may be able to bring in even more players, we should be rocking in a year or 2

If we get Franklin, does he also bring in our best recruiting class ever
Hokie Golfer • 10/29/25 04:00 PM ET
No, and then the fan base calls for his head before he coaches 1 game. TIC**
MP4VT2004 • 10/29/25 10:18 PM ET
Why don't people get that recruiting at blue blood doesn't translate to VT?**
marcbvtgm • 10/29/25 05:35 PM ET
Agree 100% - despite his highly ranked classes, he lost to good teams**
DurhamHokie • 10/30/25 01:30 PM ET
Know how many awesome players PAU has stolen out of VA?**
VaPoly07 • 10/29/25 08:26 PM ET
Yeah I do. And PSU will still get those players under their next coach.**
marcbvtgm • 10/29/25 09:45 PM ET
Because they want to forget that Pry was hired for his recruiting in VA.**
jrc3rd • 10/29/25 07:00 PM ET
Absolutely not. That's a false premise that people are hyping up with
BG Hokie • 10/29/25 04:29 PM ET
And this is why I would prefer to see VT hire a guy who is...
MP4VT2004 • 10/29/25 10:21 PM ET
We'll see a difference
VTECHFAN • 10/29/25 05:00 PM ET
Did you not notice that Brent Pry's recruiting wasn't remotely like at PSU?**
marcbvtgm • 10/29/25 05:37 PM ET
Brent Pry is a nobody**
Techsupport • 10/29/25 06:40 PM ET
Right... he was also the Defensive Coordinator at PSU
VTECHFAN • 10/29/25 05:39 PM ET
I'm old enough to remember the complaints about Shane Beamer's recruiting.
marcbvtgm • 10/29/25 09:38 PM ET
He'll need to win and/or promise more money. Money and wins whether it's
BG Hokie • 10/29/25 05:04 PM ET
That goes without saying
VTECHFAN • 10/29/25 05:09 PM ET
PSU's worst recruiting year would typically beat VT's best.**
Techsupport • 10/29/25 04:33 PM ET
Duh. And McDonalds sells more burgers than Five Guys. So what?**
marcbvtgm • 10/29/25 05:38 PM ET
We dont have to recruit like PSU to land our best class ever...DUHH!
Techsupport • 10/29/25 07:00 PM ET
1) you pretty much do actually and 2) HS recruiting is fool's gold in 2025**
marcbvtgm • 10/29/25 09:41 PM ET
PSU: TWENTY 4*'s in 2025. We've never signed more than EIGHT.
Techsupport • 10/30/25 09:13 AM ET
Agreed, plus… they regularly would beat VT
HOKIEGOBBLE • 10/29/25 04:41 PM ET
The key is Franklin at PSU, not Franklin at VT.
EDGEMAN • 10/29/25 04:38 PM ET
But I'm sure he'd be happy to work for VT for a few years and then...
MP4VT2004 • 10/29/25 10:58 PM ET
Exactly.**
marcbvtgm • 10/29/25 05:39 PM ET
Hence what I wrote, we can bring in our best class ever and not be near PSU**
Techsupport • 10/29/25 04:40 PM ET
Frankly I don't see him bringing in our best class ever.
EDGEMAN • 10/29/25 04:42 PM ET
I do. I can't think of a coach BETTER suited to accomplish that...
Techsupport • 10/29/25 04:48 PM ET
Far more likely his impact would be negligible on HS recruiting. **
marcbvtgm • 10/29/25 05:40 PM ET
+ 100 for using “enlarged gravitational field” . WOW! Is that more than
uber hokie • 10/29/25 05:15 PM ET
More than your glans shaped brain can imagine Im sure.**
Techsupport • 10/29/25 06:49 PM ET
That's a low bar, and with more dough, I say very good chance**
Techsupport • 10/29/25 04:22 PM ET
1 or 2 5 stars and 3 or 4 4 stars would probably do it ◄
Hokie Golfer • 10/29/25 04:27 PM ET
TBF, in a portal world, its hard to compare recruiting classes to the past.
Techsupport • 10/29/25 04:31 PM ET
TBF, HS recruiting just isn't that important anymore.**
marcbvtgm • 10/29/25 05:41 PM ET
A few days ago, I thought we had no chance of getting Franklin**
hokiehowl • 10/29/25 04:21 PM ET
lol....all this smoke is mostly from Grok.**
Techsupport • 10/29/25 04:41 PM ET
Nope**
