Kinda telling that a SEC team brags about stealing a recruit from VT?
Bizzaro world? No its the Franklin effect. JF has such a media presence that out recruiting VT is now news! No idea if this will continue in the future but if Franklin gets VT back into the top 20 consistently (I'm hoping much higher but being conservative), VT will once again become a "hated" team. Back in Beamer's heyday, plenty of teams compared themselves to VT as a benchmark. Can't wait until that happens again!

I read earlier today that an Edge player was to pick between VT and Auburn

"Fly War Eagle" story characterizes it as a "steal" from Virginia Tech...
