He has obviously identified this as a relatively unique piece of our culture and has signaled that he is embracing it.
Damn Franklin getting recruits a bump already. I like this big dog stuff.
I know it's fun to hate on Whit but if you read all of the quotes from Franklin it's very apparent that Whit had a big hand in this and he trusts him.
I honestly think Whit is good at pretty much every aspect of being an AD other than hiring/firing a football coach.
I love that he keeps giving the Corps a shoutout. He gave them one in the presser, too.
Totally loved the fact that he paused his own presser (seemingly) to push game attendance to impress recruits this weekend. I thought that was awesome.
Would be awesome if Franklin finds sone sort of spot for him
Taking off the O&M glasses, this is a huge get for VT, and maybe for both sides. There is so much potential. Put the O&M glasses back on and I become nervous AF. For too long and too often we've fallen on our face, and we've done nothing as a program to really try and correct the inadequacies. I HOPE this is a turning point, but I've been burned too many times by the football program to truly get excited right now.
Thanks all.
Can the university use Frank as collateral?
Most recruits who didn't officially decommit were in "wait-and-see" mode, much like the top players on the roster who didn't enter the special 30 day coach-fired-window.
Franklin instant impact has me thinking that most of the guys he wants to keep from the recruiting class and roster will be here next season.
6'7" and 280 means he probably has weight to put on too
"As soon as I read this on my phone, I reached for my phone."
Why wouldn't he be? I think his kids are in the middle of the school year. Heck, from some discussions (joking I hope) he might be back on staff next year.
Nice! I saw he decommitted this week and was going to share yesterday but he didn't have a PSU offer. He's a big boy.
Can confirm that as of now his Twitter profile still also says Hokies FB Commit, though I guess Minnesota is making a push for him and got him to visit
Man its really, really mind-blowing to hear that we were by far the most well organized, prepared school to approach him
The committee must have locked Whit in a closet while the process was ongoing.
Whiskey for sure. DO NOT want to even think about Mr. Fuente.
Yep
ahem...is he still committed?

Did the other names disappear off the PSU website prior to this week?
A&M gives #12. We give #25. Those numbers signify the programs identity. I don't see the problem here.
That PSU transfer we picked up has potential.
