uva down there at 27th with their whole portal over recruiting strategy. Also LSU a ton of transfer activity but not really much of an overall improvement.

Amare Campbell to Tennessee

I respect the "let Franklin cook" theme and people who espouse it, and I've been a long time Franklin defender throughout his entire PSU tenure. Long term he's the right guy and building this to be successful for a long time.

BUT, I think this transfer portal has been full of missteps and missed opportunities. We could make a run at the playoff next year, there are Franklin players from PSU who are elite upperclassmen that could transform this team next season. Gilliam and Campbell are the top of that group, both are going to Tennessee. AJ Harris and Dejaun Lane could make our secondary great and are still uncommitted. I know our transfer portal ranking is high, but idgaf about transfer portal team rankings, good PSU players are not coming to VT the way I expected and the impact players next year are either going elsewhere or not committed. Additionally, other impact players at key positional needs, Xavier Chaplin premier among them, are not being pursued or are going elsewhere.

I still think Franklin will have this thing rolling soon, but we could've turned it over next year to make a run, and we aren't doing that and I find it very frustrating.

Back half didn't look great short of desiante. Assuming they're pushing all the chips in on next season, who's taking over those spots?

One of those losses in the conference championship game which other playoff teams (Oregon, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Texas A&M) didn't even qualify for and maybe would've lost as well, but nobody has been making the case that those teams should've been left out.

Then people saying that Alabama getting blown out by IU showed they didn't belong, even though the won their first playoff game to play in that game. One person on this board de-valued Caleb Woodson's Alabama offer by saying "did you see them against Indiana, this isn't Saban's Bama".

Maybe Indiana is just amazing and not an indication of the quality of their opponents. Just a thought.

I thought it was because they had three losses including one to Florida State

Where are the people saying Alabama didn't deserve to be in the playoffs because they got blown out by Indiana? Did Oregon not deserve to be in the playoffs too? I'll wait

Had this exact same thought

Yeah I've mentioned in other posts that the two positions that I want a top talent even if it's just a one year guy is LT and LB. I get the strategy of multi year guys to build for the future, but I don't agree with it for those two positions.

He'd been at JMU for 3 years by then and had been extremely successful.

Let's not act like hiring a 53 year-old with zero Head Coaching experience was more logical.

Pry got huge benefit of the doubt due to his VT/Foster ties. Besides, the job of an AD is to find the best candidate not to play to fan favorites.

Any unrest would have been gone really quickly.

More to.the point, Whit has completely whiffed on 2 consecutive Football coaches, let our WBB coach get poached, and bungled Fundrasing for years. He's obviously got Sands confidence (for whatever reason) and isn't getting run out of town anytime soon.
