Why does the board say Pry is good at recruiting?
Our current class is ranked #43. That is mediocre at best.

He finds some real gems in the portal (APR, Tuten, Lane, etc)
And does a pretty good job of bringing in good high school talent. But then he gets them on campus and he and his staff struggle to coach them up. Seems like we often rely on talent alone, but that will only get you so far.

It seems like he’s done well in portal but not sure

He recruited well to get the current team, but data on his coaching ability
is now out there and will hurt recruiting going forward.

I thought otherwise. If not can his azz as he brings nothing.

I get your point. But I honestly don't even follow HS recruiting anymore.
What are the odds that those players will still be here and be productive in 4 or 5 years? What matters now is doing well in the portal.

I don’t really care about recruiting rankings.
The eye test says we have talent. But coaching is an issue. For two years, it’s been slow starts and poor finishes. Terrible clock management. I really want Pry to succeed because he seems to “get” the VT culture. But we aren’t a program that’s realizing its potential.

I am worried the VT culture is now accepting 6-6 at best every year
it sure feels that way

Is the key to not being 6-6 as simple as “not accepting it”?
Being 6-6 and accepting being 6-6 are not the same thing.

Right now, I would gladly accept 6-6 for next year

Agree on all. I think Pry will survive.
