VT was slow to catch onto the strength of the portal and had little NIL.
UVa got a big donation just prior to the 2025 transfer class and with TE unable to recruit HS he hadn’t any choice but to portal big. And it worked out extremely well for UVa. But TE is reverting to the mean and had a 2026 transfer class that was not great (#37 after 247 pumped up their ratings) and became worse when the 4th highest rated transfer, Zion Wilson, didn’t get a 6th year (of course 247 hasn’t reflected that). Now he’s totally reverted to the mean, VT might get as many commits out of this weekend as there were uncommitted recruits at UVa’s OV weekend (only 5 uncommitted recruits with at least 1 CB elsewhere).

I hear there might be another. Makes it tough when you can only get 1 year
