Correct, since LT's rating was for TE
With 4⭐️ Peter Bourque in the boat, here are the 247 composite ratings of VT QBs:1) Tyrod Taylor .99142) Marcus Vick .99103) Logan Thomas .9744) Bryan Randall .9685) Peter Bourque .9646) Bryce Baker .9557) Ethan Grunkemeyer .9518) Ike Whitaker .9229) Jerod Evans .911— Two Deep Podcast🎙🦃🏈🍻 (@TwoDeepVT) May 14, 2026
of note, #6, #7, and #12 (Huhn) are all currently on the roster together.....I've called us TEU and RBU recently...are we gonna be QBU too??
Caleb Henson won 8-3. He faces Zain Rutherford tomorrow for a spot in final X
Woodberry produces alot of D1 Talent
This is going to be the new norm. I wouldn't be surprised if Softball and Baseball adds more teams to the ncaa tournament as well
From Woodberry Forest to be exact, which is where 2026 OL recruit Buddy Wegdam came from
Jax wins 9-4
Leal backed up LT3 before Motley
It depends on how Grunk plays this year. It's most likely he returns, but he could play well enough to leave early opening up the starting position for someone, probably Bryce Baker. If Baker lights it up then he could also leave early. Unlikely scenario but possible. Otherwise it's unfortunately likely Kelden Ryan who leaves, unless Baker transfers again or Huhn falls way behind.
I thought Leal backed up Taylor and Motley was Thomas?
Either way, your point is valid
I think this is exactly how you should recruit your QB room. Look how unprepared we were when Jerod Evans left. We had Grant Noel backing up Michael Vick. Mark Leal backed up Logan Thomas. The list goes on.
In the past we always seemed to push all our chips in on one star QB and then had mediocre to poor backup play and it bit us in the ass a few times. This is The Way
To be fair... CJF has done a pretty good job of keeping QBs around - He convinced 5-star Drew Allar to ride the bench while Sean Clifford finished his time at PSU, and then convinced Grunkenmeyer to ride the bench for 2 years (the second of which he started half way through due Allar's injury).
One could argue that CJF hasn't done the best with the QB position, but he certainly can recruit and retain.
Athletic is predicting us to come out or pool and lose to Bama.
More big time arm talent. A good problem to have.
Would never have happened in the pre-NIL era

With the QB room being the way it is, someone is likely not gonna play snaps for us and will leave. That doesn't really matter right now. Getting a big win in recruiting this early in Franklin's tenure does. It's the kind of move that builds on itself as more and more kids start looking our way which is exactly what needs to happen to build ourselves back up to where we were in the 90s/00s and hopefully beyond that
The weirdness isn't solely due to cal recruiting well, but the fact that they are in the acc. Still havent gotten used to that part of it
Dang, this thread is older than my TKP subscription
It's surprising to see this quick, but Tosh Lupoi has a history as one of the best Recruiters on the planet. Didn't think Cal would necessarily have the NIL $ to make it this successful though.
Moore has also been recruiting Ohio a lot for the big boys
Four star OT from VA
I think if the thread is 12 years old you can start a new one without any complaints
Espn is against the expansion to 24, for their own selfish reasons as it means the games would go back out to be bid on by the networks
It's a dark outlook for cfb when I'm siding with ESPN (even if my reasons don't match theirs)
