Listened to signing day podcast.

Think this class finished well and re-established a footprint, but rating as a B is too high. If a C is average, then getting 1 in the top 20 of VA kids, no DT, only 1 nationally recognized 4 star (not counting transfers), and a team ranking outside the top 30 shouldn’t rate higher than a C. I know can’t judge for 3-4 years, but if we are giving this a B in real time what did we give 2020 class?

You have to dig deeper than the inconsistent and biased star ratings
HokieAl • 12/24/22 08:40 AM ET
There are always excuses from teams with bad ratings. Bottom line is you

8th by avg star rating. But VT signed 5-10 more players than most programs

Kind of impressed to recruit that well after a 3-8 season
OrangeHokieFan • 12/24/22 01:26 PM ET
W-L record is not a big factor in recruiting**

Development is where we were wretched and of course that impacts recruiting
HokiePokie95 • 12/23/22 11:39 PM ET
