Class rankings matter a LOT

They're certainly not everything... but if you compare average class rankings over the past 5 years to the current AP Top 25 poll they line up pretty well.

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
magic beans**
