Good article overall but some of these predictions,

like a possible 10 win season are wildly optimistic. The most reasonable predictions account for a new coaching staff, a few positions with big question marks (O line, safeties, LB) and the relative youth of the Hokies roster. 8-4 or 7-5 would be great progress compared to last season. Youth normally means inconsistency so we should expect that. OTOH would love to see 1 or 2 upsets since it’s been a while.

Indeed it does, but I’ve been happy ever since he took a recruiting class

Hope he is correct, for the $$$ to CJF & The NIL players**

this may also improve our outlook on the coming season
lazarus1 • 02/18/26 09:50 PM ET
Or it may not. This stuff is really just meaningless clickbait**

Agreed. There’s reason to be optimistic but we’ve been optimistic almost
Hoakie82 • 02/20/26 01:55 AM ET
That’s politely put premature

Thanks, been very happy for quite a while after Franklin's hire, I don't
OlderHokie • 02/18/26 09:46 PM ET
I'm certainly optimistic in the long term...

The top talent level isn't up so much as there is more of it.
marcbvtgm • 02/19/26 11:55 AM ET
The player talent level has risen significantly
