Flawed logic IMO....

If it doesn't matter why are the teams that recruit the best players and have the highest ranked classes always the ones in the playoffs vs those teams that recruit in the middle of the pack or worse? Also, from a numbers perspective there are a lot more three star kids then there are four and five, so the majority of the NFL is always going to be comprised of mostly three star players. Cherry picking diamonds in the rough isn't a strategy that will build a winning program. All it will get you is a roster of one or two standouts that will eventually transfer to a P4 school combined with bunch of guys that would get pushed around by a decent P4 team. Based on your assessment G6 teams should have a lot more success than they actually do. I can tell you right now I wouldn't trade Peter Borque, or any of our top 3 QBs for a random 2* QB. Nor would I trade our recruiting class with a school like ODU's. You can't point at outliers as proof that recruiting rankings don't matter.

TekkNerd • 05/29/26 06:37 AM ET
i respect your opinion but I still say that RECRUITING RANKINGS ARE BS!
Flanker • 05/29/26 08:23 AM ET
Don't understand your point in reference to VT?
TOUGH TURKEY • 05/29/26 01:41 PM ET
UGA QB Stetson Bennett won two natties and he was a TWO STAR.recruit!
Flanker • 05/29/26 02:09 PM ET
There is always exceptions **
VaTechHokiesACC • 06/02/26 01:18 AM ET
Way too many exceptions! Marcus Vick was a five star recruit. **
Flanker • 06/02/26 10:20 AM ET
Let's cut to the chase here
TekkNerd • 05/29/26 09:22 AM ET
In five years, Imma tell ya that I done told ya so!
Flanker • 05/29/26 12:14 PM ET
Well....I tried, you're only interested in supporting your analysis.
TekkNerd • 05/29/26 12:29 PM ET
HIndsight is 20/20 and I've proved that RECRUITING RANKINGS ARE BS!
Flanker • 05/29/26 02:04 PM ET
3% of 3* make NFL. 24% of 4* make NFL. What pond you fishing in?
Techsupport • 06/01/26 08:31 AM ET
You don't even understand the whole point of my analyis.
Flanker • 06/01/26 12:16 PM ET
I think you're the one missing the point...
Techsupport • 06/01/26 02:48 PM ET
I knew you couldn't pull up any sources. I back up what I say with analysis
Flanker • 06/01/26 03:16 PM ET
Really? Here ya go...
Techsupport • 06/01/26 03:22 PM ET
Your article proves my point. There is more talent below 4 & 5 stars
Flanker • 06/01/26 03:35 PM ET
I'm going to try one more time....then I'm done...lol
Techsupport • 06/01/26 05:01 PM ET
I deal with facts. I'm not going to bother with your hypothetical pearl BS!
Flanker • 06/01/26 05:31 PM ET
What kind of stupid response is that?
HokieNL • 06/01/26 08:52 AM ET
The round earth kind**
Techsupport • 06/01/26 09:07 AM ET
Ok. I laughed. 😂**
HokieNL • 06/01/26 09:10 AM ET
You have only proven it to yourself, and that's perfectly fine.
TekkNerd • 05/29/26 02:35 PM ET
+ 1000**
samistone • 05/29/26 06:31 PM ET
Yeah, talent and performance are way overated.**
Hardcore_Hokie • 05/29/26 06:37 AM ET
Individual projections of talent and performance are overrated.
marcbvtgm • 05/29/26 01:25 PM ET
Then I guess talent evaluation is also overrated. Why even try?**
Hardcore_Hokie • 05/30/26 03:37 PM ET
For sure nothing is certain
crazylane • 05/28/26 04:59 PM ET
Have you sent this to Franklin? He obviously has no idea what he's doing**
Techsupport • 05/28/26 04:47 PM ET
Franklin and VT are killing it in recruiting, but....that being said.....
jonnyhawk • 05/28/26 01:10 PM ET
Agreed, he needs to win 8 or 9 to keep momentum going this season.
TekkNerd • 05/28/26 06:28 PM ET
I think the VMI game will be a good start getting our momentum rolling.
EDGEMAN • 05/28/26 06:51 PM ET
VMI as a 730 game
Hokie1992 • 05/29/26 06:07 AM ET
AM?
EDGEMAN • 05/29/26 06:34 AM ET
And I thought Noon games were annoying! 😂**
HokieNL • 06/01/26 05:33 PM ET
1930 for the military people
Hokie1992 • 05/29/26 06:52 AM ET
Two Years?
likehokies • 05/28/26 01:35 PM ET
Having a QB who can complete passes will give us an edge we've been missing**
EDGEMAN • 05/28/26 06:54 PM ET
There aren't many good QBs without an offensive line that can pass block**
marcbvtgm • 05/29/26 01:30 PM ET
Edge? Edgeman. That's the edge, a QB who wears his glasses.**
likehokies • 05/29/26 09:16 AM ET
Another thing, he;'s doing differently
