VT’s 2025 record is irrelevant. VT’s aspirations are not.

IMO insecure folks here have long put Penn State - one of the more underachieving programs of the last 20+ yrs - on too much of a pedestal. JackDMSL does have a point.

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”!!!**

V333T • 01/15/26 09:14 AM ET
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
JackDSML • 01/16/26 08:38 AM ET
What was our record?
likehokies • 01/15/26 09:59 AM ET
I get excited because I've seen the recent product we had

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**
