...that can contend for ACC titles and playoff bids. What I'm not confident in is whether we'll go back to having "recruiting round up" road shows after the portal season has concluded, and a VT football dinner in July again. Will Franklin blow off the 757 like Pry did the last couple of years? Pry canceled the recruiting round up, then he completely blew off the 757 one year with his "beer bash," and had one somewhere west of here and called it his trip to the 757.

Franklin benefited mightily from the temporary vacuums before signing day. -- marcbvtgm Dec 29, 2025 at 09:31 AM ET
