Franklin should try and pick him up. He probably still has eligibility
and the top uncommitted tight end
and WAS the top uncommitted tight end. FTFY, Pete.

Was considered a Penn State lean with Franklin.
I'm sorry? Twenty twenty-what? With the way recruiting is today, is like "that's nice", but file this under irrelevant for 2.5 years.
They're going to have to do way better than that the keep momentum from their greatest season ever that also garnered them no accolades.

RBs only had 15 carries. They ran two gimmicks to a WR. I just dont understand why they dont get more. Etienne averaged 6.7 ypc and Tuten 12.8 ypc but they only got 14 touches.
I dont think it just happened with us necessarily, more a comment about the "quality" of recruiting sites assessments of 5000+ players in less than a week. I do think it happened to most recruits with little to no playing time leaving P2 schools which after watching the SEC fall on its face in the postseason is pretty clear the narrative of P2 is pie in the sky compared to reality.
It just so happens we are in a kind of unique spot that we are getting a ton of P2 transfers.
I was never was on the Pop train and honestly for me, this might be a better landing spot than I expected if he is getting the guarantee to start. I actually expected him to announce a D2 landing spot as a starter.
Unfortunate is that even if Pop balls out at UMass they probably lose a ton of games. 0-12 this season. Three of the four OOC games were buy in games to make them money. Their defense was awful. Gave up 40+ in 8 of 12 games. Pop cant fix that. He may help the offense that scored 14 or less in 10 of 12 games.

This kind of crap will always happen for VT. I'm at the point of let it happen and the players will have one more axe to grind on our opponents.
Yes, high 4 star. The other high 4 star linebacker that year committed to USCe
edit: also UGA took a five star LB from VA that year too, Chris Cole
I hope he is automatic; all kickers should be!
Would love to see the total amount of stars our guys lost for being Freshmen that didnt play this year. Feels like at least 10 of the 18 dropped a star.
I also call bullshit on 5 Iowa St players transferring to Penn State being 4 ๐ seeing how many other players dropped a ๐

Valid. Maybe UMass gave him the bag ๐
5 star TE??? LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE FUTURE QB HAS ARRIVED TO BLACKSBURG!!!
But seriously, it feels strange to be competitive after the last 15 years.
In the NIL world a one year hop for a QB back to P4 could be a significant payday.
With 2 years of eligibility left, he's probably better off just trying to do good things there and move on to whatever is next. Doubt his future is the NFL, so try and start for 2 years and have fun with it.
Yeah...he looks like someone just shot his dog.
I guess committing to a team that has won 7 games since 2020 is hard to get hyped for.
I wasn't necessarily as high on Pop as some people, but I honestly thought he'd find a bit better landing spot.

Watkins put in the Crystal Ball for Calloway, so sounds like we're probably in good shape there. Most of the article from his tweet is paywalled, but he has the LSU player image, as well as states it prior to the paywall kicking in.
