I thought the new spending commitment put VT in line with the Top 10-15

programs in the country. Shouldn't that make us able to compete on spending with most P2 teams or is that too simplistic of an understanding?

Harvard QB in the portal **

But his gpa is too low can’t get him in.**

Frank (our GM) has all the data for Franklin

VT needs a game changer at QB that creates margin of error at other spots
Hokiefied • 12/08/25 01:13 PM ET
He's really really good. He'll get about $3M in NIL for one year.
MKD • 12/08/25 12:59 PM ET
if he's that good, then why not turn pro? why risk injury**
Windows NT • 12/08/25 01:23 PM ET
Because the difference in the first NFL contract between 1st and 3rd round
MKD • 12/08/25 01:26 PM ET
total rookie deal in the 3rd round is approx 6 mil based on the nfl
Windows NT • 12/08/25 01:33 PM ET
Are you kidding? 1st round quarterbacks get a guaranteed contract
MKD • 12/08/25 01:39 PM ET
but if they compare him to the NFL QB
Windows NT • 12/08/25 01:45 PM ET
All he needs is one year of P4 film and yes, he'll be round 1
MKD • 12/08/25 01:52 PM ET
comparing <> equating**
Pylons • 12/08/25 01:47 PM ET
He'll be poached by a Big10 or SEC school. He's that good of a prospect**
MKD • 12/08/25 12:55 PM ET
How can someone who has never played against P4 athletes
VT ChemE 1986 • 12/08/25 02:02 PM ET
They watch film like you wouldn't believe.
MKD • 12/08/25 02:12 PM ET
Will be interesting to see him give it a try. **
VT ChemE 1986 • 12/08/25 03:01 PM ET
I agree. Hopefully he does well. **
MKD • 12/08/25 03:02 PM ET
If VT can pay Drones $1 million before improvements, we can compete here**
Hokiefied • 12/08/25 01:05 PM ET
No way VT can out bid SEC or BIG10 team.
MKD • 12/08/25 01:08 PM ET
I thought the new spending commitment put VT in line with the Top 10-15 ◄
vt_atown • 12/08/25 04:36 PM ET
It's not a static thing. Schools aren't pausing for VT to catch up.**
marcbvtgm • 12/08/25 05:26 PM ET
Not top 10-15, probably a little closer to top 25 perhaps**
MKD • 12/08/25 04:38 PM ET
isn't Duke's current qb getting 3M+?**
VT757to276 • 12/08/25 01:34 PM ET
If that’s the case, that will open up other options **
Hokiefied • 12/08/25 01:14 PM ET
I want Joseph from ODU or the Montana State guy**
hokiepro • 12/08/25 01:03 PM ET
we can have both**
Windows NT • 12/08/25 01:13 PM ET
No way. Portal quarterbacks only transfer to where they start immediately
MKD • 12/08/25 01:28 PM ET
Wouldn’t be surprised to see him at UCLA or Stanford**
Hokiefied • 12/08/25 01:08 PM ET
Montana St’s Justin Lamson transferred from Stanford
hokiepro • 12/08/25 01:29 PM ET
Probably won’t meet UVA standards.**
scoop76cs • 12/08/25 12:48 PM ET
I think you mean UVA "standards"
EDGEMAN • 12/08/25 01:05 PM ET
I think he meant "Morgan Moses standards".**
SHPHOKIE • 12/08/25 01:21 PM ET
Think he can make through VT Admissions?**
V333T • 12/08/25 12:20 PM ET
I hope there's bigger fish to poach.**
Coattail Hokie • 12/08/25 12:20 PM ET
He'll be a top 3 quarterback in the portal. He's great**
MKD • 12/08/25 01:02 PM ET
He’s expected to be highly sought after
Hokiefied • 12/08/25 12:25 PM ET
Oh I know he talented and would be a huge upgrade over KD
Coattail Hokie • 12/08/25 12:50 PM ET
why wouldnt he go pro**
VaPoly07 • 12/08/25 12:32 PM ET
excellent question. if hes all that and a senior**
Windows NT • 12/08/25 01:20 PM ET
From Pete Thammel**
