What was our record?

You're right though. I can't get too excited without seeing the product. Anyway, most of those players from PSU had little to do with their record this past year. All we can rely on basically are recruiting rankings (for whatever they are worth) out of high school which historically, in general, give us some idea how they might turn out. Grunkemeyer (and maybe a few more) who had some significant data points was an exception who played much of the season and we can at least feel confident that he is more than an ankle passer. So that's a bonus right there, IMO.

Anyone have a count on how many ex-Penn State players we have now? **

if you forget, the announcers will remind us every five min of games
HokieAl • 01/15/26 11:11 AM ET
IIRC we got 12 of their HS RECRUITS and 12 portal transfers, so 24 total.
HoakieBS • 01/15/26 10:02 AM ET
Franklin would say “23 and Me”!!!**

My bad, forgot the most important ‘players' of all...
V333T • 01/15/26 10:58 AM ET
Noticed the 2nd highest rated player
crazylane • 01/15/26 10:36 AM ET
Noticed that as well
V333T • 01/15/26 10:49 AM ET
12 is enough. Their record was 7-6 . Let’s not get too excited**
JackDSML • 01/15/26 09:30 AM ET
only a few of the guys we got were playing regularly
tallahasseehokie • 01/15/26 05:14 PM ET
3 and 4 star players who did not play. Thinking they’ll play here

I get excited because I've seen the recent product we had
Hate2SeeItEnd Hokie • 01/15/26 02:51 PM ET
VT’s 2025 record is irrelevant. VT’s aspirations are not.
marcbvtgm • 01/15/26 10:31 AM ET
I dont know about the last 20 but better than us the last 7 or 8**
Hate2SeeItEnd Hokie • 01/15/26 02:46 PM ET
Nobody argues that, but so what?**
marcbvtgm • 01/15/26 02:51 PM ET
Same would apply PSU being on a pedestal or underachieving as a so what
Hate2SeeItEnd Hokie • 01/15/26 03:05 PM ET
If underachieving is final 4 in the playoffs - sign me up lol**
96Hokie96 • 01/15/26 10:50 AM ET
Really easy draw. They changed the seeding rules in part because of it.**
marcbvtgm • 01/15/26 02:47 PM ET
Didn't the seeding rules apply to us also?**
Hate2SeeItEnd Hokie • 01/15/26 03:13 PM ET
That's some funny stuff right there. **
96Hokie96 • 01/15/26 02:58 PM ET
Sekrah on JFs record at PSU
V333T • 01/15/26 10:55 AM ET
Except he didn't win 11 every other year & he played a soft OOC every yr**
marcbvtgm • 01/15/26 02:49 PM ET
Exactly and btw, I don’t think we are putting PSU on a pedestal.
96Hokie96 • 01/15/26 11:00 AM ET
They're not THAT highly ranked. A handful are. Most are the usual.**
marcbvtgm • 01/16/26 09:30 AM ET
Have we had an 11th ranked portal class before?
96Hokie96 • 01/16/26 11:04 AM ET
Agree, wouldn't matter if PSU is most underachieving program in America
Hate2SeeItEnd Hokie • 01/15/26 03:20 PM ET
A handful are highly ranked, but most are borderline 3*/4* like usual.
marcbvtgm • 01/15/26 03:00 PM ET
These recruits are better than the ones we've been getting
Hate2SeeItEnd Hokie • 01/15/26 02:47 PM ET
Fully agree. A big step forward for sure. **
96Hokie96 • 01/15/26 02:57 PM ET
Agree, some context
V333T • 01/15/26 01:45 PM ET
We're not the only ones that put them on a pedestal
crazylane • 01/15/26 10:38 AM ET
Grunk could be the one**
