They can't finish drives due to mistakes (penalties, turnovers, sacks)

I feel like they could go military academy level run heavy if they can avoid Kyle Altuner getting a penalty on every drive that puts them off schedule or don't throw an incompletion on first down that also gets them behind schedule.

Franklin and 2026 recruiting
MKD • 11/24/25 01:10 PM ET
These days the portal is the solution to turning things quickly**
fordham • 11/25/25 05:15 AM ET
I will take a bunch of 22 year old guys over any high school recruits
OrlandoHokie • 11/24/25 08:03 PM ET
Just doesn't matter
Beerman • 11/24/25 05:25 PM ET
Maybe,maybe not, but immediate impact comes through the portal this year...
Techsupport • 11/24/25 04:45 PM ET
I don't know about 75%, but it'll be a big number.**
marcbvtgm • 11/24/25 06:47 PM ET
I'm seeing a ton of posts sayin' JF will mainly focus on the portal, wrong.
Coattail Hokie • 11/24/25 03:42 PM ET
It's not about "focus", it about ratio. This year will be portal heavy...
Techsupport • 11/25/25 03:03 PM ET
I agree 100% but....
Coattail Hokie • 11/25/25 07:58 PM ET
He literally said they charging ahead with HS recruiting**
Happy Dog • 11/24/25 04:23 PM ET
I'm thinking JF along with the staff he would hire could have gotten the
Tuckahokie • 11/24/25 03:46 PM ET
Not with this defense **
Happy Dog • 11/24/25 06:36 PM ET
Any team with a running game like VT should get to 7 wins**

Unrealistic to finish in top 40. He has only been here 2 weeks. He doesn't
carhokies • 11/24/25 02:28 PM ET
Your expectations are unrealistic. You think we can go from 123 to top 40
BG Hokie • 11/24/25 02:12 PM ET
Check this out already. 4 star
MKD • 11/24/25 03:02 PM ET
Know the name and know he visited and I know that we're now in a Top 5.
BG Hokie • 11/24/25 03:50 PM ET
It's not outrageous to expect those results.
MKD • 11/24/25 04:29 PM ET
Where is JF gonna find a 5*? They're all committed & none committed to PSU.
marcbvtgm • 11/24/25 07:21 PM ET
Trust me, I'm a nerd I know of all the kids that visited this past weekend.
BG Hokie • 11/24/25 03:15 PM ET
Who cares? It's going to a big portal & small HS class anyway.**
marcbvtgm • 11/24/25 01:44 PM ET
Disagree, I think it will be a bigger class.
MKD • 11/24/25 01:50 PM ET
Isn't the HS recruiting class still capped at 25 signees per year?**
VTHokie2000 • 11/24/25 04:08 PM ET
Don’t believe so.
RJHokie • 11/24/25 04:54 PM ET
"Bigger than anticipated" can still be small.**
marcbvtgm • 11/24/25 02:22 PM ET
We have 8 commitments. Signing day is in 9 days. You expect 17 commitments
BG Hokie • 11/24/25 02:19 PM ET
Well PSU did have 17 decommits **

Lots of people care, .......
2hhoop3 • 11/24/25 01:50 PM ET
What does anything I wrote have to do with liking or not liking Franklin?
marcbvtgm • 11/24/25 02:29 PM ET
You've made your position......
2hhoop3 • 11/24/25 02:36 PM ET
Good god, my comment had ZERO to do with how I feel about Franklin. ZERO.
marcbvtgm • 11/24/25 02:54 PM ET
Say what you wish....
2hhoop3 • 11/24/25 02:59 PM ET
Grow up. Almost everybody is posting similar to what I wrote.
marcbvtgm • 11/24/25 03:04 PM ET
I am grown up thank you
2hhoop3 • 11/24/25 03:09 PM ET
I don't remotely consider it a failure if JF doesn't pull in late recruits
marcbvtgm • 11/24/25 06:44 PM ET
This reminds me of conversations with my kids...
Culpeper Hokie • 11/24/25 03:29 PM ET
Exactly **
HokiesACC2004 • 11/25/25 05:45 AM ET

FlintMS • 11/24/25 04:42 PM ET
Did ya see the bowl game? Thst was enough**
fordham • 11/25/25 05:19 AM ET
Sorry, dont agree**
FlintMS • 11/25/25 07:20 AM ET
Why Top 40 ?
Turk Malloy • 11/24/25 01:15 PM ET
He still wants a great first recruiting class to set the tone.
MKD • 11/24/25 01:43 PM ET
He probably does not care one bit about someone's opinion of his class
tallahasseehokie • 11/24/25 02:21 PM ET
Exactly.**
marcbvtgm • 11/24/25 02:55 PM ET
The opposite will need to be true for 2026. Add HS recruits wherever you
