Agree on a true freshman QB

But I believe Franklin should go all in on 2026 to maintain the momentum/hype surrounding his hire and the A+ recruiting class. If the Hokies are 7-5 next year a lot of that excitement is lost and the trajectory of the program is then seen as possibly in doubt to many (mostly the uneducated or those expecting a CFP team next year). With transfer portal and NIL many will expect instant success, whether that is practical or not.

Ethan Grunkemeyer (“Grunk”) and his impending decision. What’s the ’tell?'
V333T • 12/28/25 06:55 AM ET
Saw this on X from The Sporting News FWIW**
CyberHokie • 12/29/25 11:40 AM ET
So logical, but logic doesn't always work.**
V333T • 12/29/25 11:52 AM ET
Encouraging that he is taking a neutral position**
VT ChemE 1986 • 12/28/25 12:47 PM ET
Indeed, he’s a hero at PSU today. Would’ve been easy to say he’s in for ‘26**
V333T • 12/28/25 01:24 PM ET
I’d say Becht to PSU is a near certainty. If it doesn’t happen, it will…

One year at a time, Grunk was ready, Huhn might be ready
V333T • 12/28/25 10:10 AM ET
Huhn doesn’t look remotely ready to play to me**
marcbvtgm • 12/28/25 12:59 PM ET
I still believe VT is building for year 2 so continuity at QB will be key
Hokiefied • 12/28/25 10:27 AM ET
Agree on a true freshman QB ◄
HokieFlyFisher • 12/28/25 12:31 PM ET
I get wanting to do that but there’s just too many holes to fill in 1….
Hokiefied • 12/28/25 02:26 PM ET
If VT is 7-5 and at least competitive in losses that would be great
VPI_1998 • 12/28/25 01:40 PM ET
Agree, need 2 QBs but money is a consideration
V333T • 12/28/25 10:51 AM ET
Brand doesn’t fit anymore. I’d say 90% chance he’s gone.
Hokiefied • 12/28/25 03:00 PM ET
Agreed
3Manysons • 12/28/25 11:22 AM ET
Whose got the $$$$$?**
UTPr0sim • 12/28/25 08:38 AM ET
I say Franklin..VT $$
JRHokie • 12/28/25 07:06 AM ET
And he ‘might' need 2 experienced QBs at that,
V333T • 12/28/25 07:15 AM ET
Yep, no way there are not two QBs coming here
Happy Dog • 12/28/25 08:05 AM ET
Yeah, that’s why I cautioned with ‘said facetiously’ regarding the QB room
V333T • 12/28/25 08:28 AM ET
How do you get 2? Both would want to be QB1. But then, both could be cocky
Hokie`79 • 12/28/25 08:20 AM ET
Pravia or Colandrea would fit the cocky definition :)
V333T • 12/28/25 08:33 AM ET
No one here would waste $ on Pavia and his attitude. You know
Hokie`79 • 12/28/25 08:36 AM ET
You offer enough money to get two
Happy Dog • 12/28/25 08:25 AM ET
I agree that we need 2, just wondering what the quality of #2 will be.
Hokie`79 • 12/28/25 08:28 AM ET
I just want 1
3Manysons • 12/28/25 12:15 PM ET
You absolutely cannot have QB1, a true FR, and nobody else**
