Hopefully a competent OC can help...

And in the ACC we should get to 8 wins by just improving our talent pool... having bigger, stronger, faster guys with nastier attitudes will get us to the point where most games won't come down to decisions like that.

Boy, Franklin really showcased what he brings to the table.
jonnyhawk • 12/04/25 10:48 AM ET
And hopefully starting next year he can win VA back
DurhamHokie • 12/04/25 01:12 PM ET
He basically brought PSU's class with him. And got a few flips.**
CavDan • 12/04/25 11:53 AM ET
Which is pretty amazing considering...
BuffaloTraceHokie • 12/04/25 01:04 PM ET
Pretty much the same as last 3.
CavDan • 12/04/25 02:56 PM ET
Right...
BuffaloTraceHokie • 12/04/25 03:03 PM ET
Quarterback
WOJO • 12/04/25 03:43 PM ET
Tremendous effort and results **
WOJO • 12/04/25 12:15 PM ET
Hopefully a 5-star recruit and bunch 4-stars every year. 2026 class mostly
carhokies • 12/04/25 11:43 AM ET
5* don't grow on trees. Franklin has only gotten 5* in 4 classes (8 total)**
marcbvtgm • 12/04/25 01:24 PM ET
Thats 2x as much as VT has gotten total
GoHokies84 • 12/04/25 01:38 PM ET
I know. But it was PSU. The point was you can't assume JF will get a 5*.**
marcbvtgm • 12/04/25 01:48 PM ET
So it's ok.......
2hhoop3 • 12/04/25 01:56 PM ET
I only pointed out facts. Sorry if they get in the way of your narrative.**
marcbvtgm • 12/04/25 05:19 PM ET
I saw no facts.....
2hhoop3 • 12/04/25 05:21 PM ET
So what part did I write which wasn't a fact?
marcbvtgm • 12/04/25 05:25 PM ET
You wrote......
2hhoop3 • 12/04/25 05:34 PM ET
VT may actually have a decent chance
GoHokies84 • 12/04/25 02:34 PM ET
Decent chance of getting one every year (as the OP wrote)? Good grief.
marcbvtgm • 12/04/25 05:22 PM ET
I am not saying they are.....
2hhoop3 • 12/04/25 03:59 PM ET
Best recruiting class since Beamer’s best**
WOJO • 12/04/25 12:13 PM ET
Sure, but you can't discount PSU's fumbling of the situation....
JoesterVT • 12/04/25 11:39 AM ET
That's true. He did not have to go up against Penn State and recruiting
wwhokie1 • 12/04/25 12:55 PM ET
We have to recover fumbles to benefit**
WOJO • 12/04/25 12:15 PM ET
We certainly pounced on this fumble. Big time. Time will tell
LXNTN_HOKIE • 12/04/25 02:45 PM ET
Money and good coaching**
WOJO • 12/04/25 03:36 PM ET
Yep. The entire Al Groh era was a never ending set of fumbles
samistone • 12/04/25 12:18 PM ET
Al Groh was just a jackass, wasn’t friendly with boosters,
RJHokie • 12/04/25 12:29 PM ET
Agreed on the portal.
TekkNerd • 12/04/25 11:37 AM ET
Franklin can recruit,but will he make the same PSU in-game coaching miscues
hokiezera1990 • 12/04/25 11:35 AM ET
I'll take every single miscue. JF just breathed life into our DEAD program.
Techsupport • 12/04/25 01:57 PM ET
Same here
WOJO • 12/04/25 03:40 PM ET
I guess we'll find out soon enough one way or the other**
marcbvtgm • 12/04/25 01:25 PM ET
Hopefully a competent OC can help... ◄
DurhamHokie • 12/04/25 01:17 PM ET
A lot of PSU fans would say he hasn't made good choices in that area.
marcbvtgm • 12/04/25 01:45 PM ET
Poor click management is a prerequisite to coach at VT. Luckily, he’s
Hokie`79 • 12/04/25 12:12 PM ET
Against inferior competition.**
marcbvtgm • 12/04/25 01:49 PM ET
Yes, after all that, I’m a very excited fan about the future of Virginia
SCHokie1103 • 12/04/25 11:10 AM ET
All true but you forgot a big increase in $$. Money solves lots of problems**
marcbvtgm • 12/04/25 10:58 AM ET
With the Right Coach.It Does !!
JRHokie • 12/04/25 11:09 AM ET
Takes the right guy pulling strings as well. Safe to say if VT had hired
NC_Hokies • 12/04/25 11:09 AM ET
Class rankings matter a LOT
DurhamHokie • 12/04/25 01:18 PM ET
Where is all this new money coming from?
solareye • 12/04/25 11:02 AM ET
Yes, couple big donors $15 mil from one donor, with final amount
carhokies • 12/04/25 11:28 AM ET
Yes
crazylane • 12/04/25 11:50 AM ET
The APEX guy?
RJHokie • 12/04/25 12:11 PM ET
That doesn't ring a bell with the couple I saw
crazylane • 12/04/25 01:57 PM ET
That’s Mehul.**
RJHokie • 12/04/25 02:26 PM ET
Super Hokie alum!! Wish he would post on TSL instead of "That other site".**
ancient alien 2018 • 12/04/25 06:09 PM ET
I asked that on these boards a couple weeks ago, Will said it is...
WestyHokie • 12/04/25 11:21 AM ET
Fair question. But they are spending somebody’s or something’s money.
marcbvtgm • 12/04/25 11:07 AM ET
We're competitive on NIL promises, for sure, but I don't think we had to
BG Hokie • 12/04/25 11:28 AM ET
It won't be as easy next year. Roster mgmt is now like 4D chess.
marcbvtgm • 12/04/25 01:44 PM ET
Smart move
crazylane • 12/04/25 11:52 AM ET
