I expect Franklin to retain around 35 players -- MKD Dec 22, 2025 at 10:59 AM ET

MKD • 12/22/25 10:59 AM ET

I'll bet we retain 50 or more.** -- BG Hokie Dec 22, 2025 at 01:55 PM ET

BG Hokie • 12/22/25 01:55 PM ET

So with the recruiting class included, that allows about 25 portal players -- MKD Dec 22, 2025 at 03:25 PM ET

MKD • 12/22/25 03:25 PM ET

50 retainees + 23 HS recruits = room for 32 portal players.** -- BG Hokie Dec 22, 2025 at 03:40 PM ET
