At this point in time, we're pulling in the floor of our recruiting class. We'll be landing the bigger fish closer to signing day.
Let's be fair: If he had put the Florida hat on first, then switched to VT, we'd have been cheering him.
Was he injured in the 2nd or 3rd, I can't remember.
Funny enough, but I only get 1-2 spam calls a week now, sometimes it is even lower. I think my spam calls reduced when I locked all my credit down. That shouldn't be linked but it is a heck of a coincidence.

Well of course. y-naught is the baseline.
LinkedIn has truly become a cesspool.
I know you are exaggerating, but reality is not far off. Just took a moment to scroll through my recent calls received and 17 of the last 20 were spam. 85% does sound about right. Maybe even low. I don't even answer the phone anymore unless it is a known number. A real person will leave a message and I'll call back if needed. No message, assume spam/scam or someone looking for this Larry prick who is involved in real estate and somehow gives my number out.
There was a LinkedIn story several years ago saying something like 40% of all calls are expected to be spam by [insert whatever the year was, I don't remember]. My comment was something along the lines of:
Who are they kidding? The damn New Jersey solar power a-holes constitute at least 40% of the calls I get right now all by themselves.
I am surprised it lasted this long. With everyone having a smartphone and tablet/laptop on campus anyway, I would have thought it would have moved online-only years ago.
Of course, this probably also means the quality of the publication will now become a shell of its former self. Not that it was excellent before, but it was for students by students, so you expect a certain level of unprofessionalism there. If they make it online-only and don't ensure its locked down to students access, you're going to get a ton of busybodies throughout the alumni base and geographic region that will start following it purely to spam complaints to the offices in Burruss Hall.
AI Bros right now are the absolute worst. So many on LinkedIn are practically foaming at the mouth waiting for massive swaths of layoffs to come so they can prance around dancing on the graves of the unemployed due to the supremacy of a technology that has been rushed to the consumer with no regulation and absolutely no quality control.
At this point, I'm thrilled to see a slew of the highest ranked 3 ⭐️, composite 4 ⭐️ as common place and land a couple of true 4's.
Previous recruiting seemed to hover around 85, 86 as common place, general recruiting for too long and our results showed it.
Franklin's foundation is a welcomed shot in the arm. IMO, If this translate to improved field results (in theory it should) , his recruiting foundation will rise.
I have been repeatedly suggesting that machine-learning be integrated into VT football, more so on the roster development and game planning. If they are planning on using analytics on the fundraising side, I hope they are also using analytics on the fund spending side as well.

Honestly im college football it might be. If I can't use AI to make a Jr developer a senior developer then I saved 50k, if I can take a mediocre d1 coach and make them a great coach I saved millions.
Do i think this will happen, no.
My money's on blank stare
Yeah i'm not complaining about our recruiting class but it'd be solid to get a guy or 2 from the top 5 in VA. Can't just focus on VA recruiting but we certainly cannot avoid it either. It's Franklin's first real recruiting class so it's not worrisome yet, but it would be awesome to get a big in-state name no doubt
Yeahhh i'm certainly not an expert but this guy Josh gives off vibes of another guy on twitter just firing off anything that might get engagement. not like his original post had any tangible descriptions of this ROI
My question is if Mr. Delander actually knows analytics or if he would have a blank stare if I asked him what kind of models were being implemented to analyze college sports data
I agree it has been huge productive increases, but I'm find being less productive
He helped us dodge a bullet
That having been said, 99% of my current phone calls are SPAM telling me they have reviewed my file and I can get 36.000 in debt consolidation loans.
I existed well before that. First email account was at Johns Hopkins in 79.
Lived by day planner type in the early 90s.
GPs was a godsend in late 90s doing service calls for HP in 80s.
Some of the modern tech has been incredibly productive enhancing
The first GPS in a phone was 1999. First web browser was 1996, so technology existed for a simple weather service to work. 1999 palm pilots and black berrries had reminders and calendars. So its possible to get what you would need. I assume for alarms your want easy ways to set, cause a Casio watch from the 80s did that.
We all thought that line in the Matrix was a throwaway just to make it "current" and it turned out weirdly accurate.
