I think Franklin is completely ignoring location on his recruiting board.

As a result we are being very selective in state, and Zayvon Miller didn't make the cut. From what I've observed we're really only pursuing kids that are as good or comparable as out of state options, which means we're focused on roughly the top 15 or so VA prospects. Given the class he has signed thus far, I don't think too many of us are complaining about his approach. Maybe it's just me, but it also feels like he takes more southern recruits now than he used to at PSU.

50% of UVA roster is Grad/Sr - 22/23 yr old vs our 20/19 yr olds

Sometimes older teams are really bad

We will see. Going the portal route every year could be hit or miss just
Hokie_Forester • 06/03/26 05:01 PM ET
They won the portal last year in getting a solid QB

UVA did well last year. I can't blame them for doing it again.
BigDaddyHokie • 06/03/26 10:26 PM ET
depends on how well they are coached up
lazarus1 • 06/03/26 03:01 PM ET
You have good point but UVA will probably not be a doormat as in the past**
SuperFeHokie • 06/03/26 05:33 PM ET
you may be right, but not necessarily a bad thing for us
lazarus1 • 06/03/26 09:23 PM ET
fairly good but not a great player -the Hoos recruiting approach
lazarus1 • 06/03/26 11:42 AM ET

1947Sunbowl • 06/03/26 11:40 AM ET

Makes sense I think.

That and VT plays more southern schools than PSU.
RJHokie • 06/03/26 07:45 PM ET
uva-c only takes kids with higher SAT**

Zayvon didn’t have a committable offer so his VT visit was canceled.
