Definitely well deserved. One of the greatest college players I ever saw. If he had stayed a couple more years, just think of the numbers he would have racked up. And, let's face it, he was a phenomenal talent surrounded by good-to-very good players. If he was on a team with elite top 10 talent around him, good lord, what numbers he could have put up.
Well, at least we'll be getting paid a buyout if Franklin leaves for Michigan, right?
Franklin was saving money with the staff hires to make sure there was room to give himself a raise when something like this pops up
/s
Also signed Carter Meadows out of DC, #23 overall in the Class
Defensive End
Franklin had Penn St in his final 4 before he committed to Michigan
Blue Hose. What a stupid name lol. Every time I hear it on the broadcast, all I can hear is "Blue Hoes"
I agree
26-8 already woof
Franklin is a hell of a recruiter but Michigan is one of the small handful of schools where kids are committing to the school, not the coach. I wouldn't bank on a mass exodus happening because Moore got fired.
National Letter of Intent is no longer correct either. They sign a Written Offer of Financial Aid. Its unclear if a player can go into the portal during the first year after signing this based on a coach being fired.
SOUP OR SALAD?

# | Dellenger: Notre Dame to receive playoff autobid for top 12 finish I'm gonna stick my neck out here (giraffe joke) and say that for 51 Heather D ain't that bad....
Didn't we lose Hamilton to them?
Anyway, after all our misfortunes over the past however many years, I'm kind of expecting us to get Manny Diaz'd here. Someone tell me why I shouldn't worry.
No, the rule was changed and at the conclusion of the regular season it took effect. Players have to wait until 5 days after the new coach is announced to enter the portal but its not clear if naming an interim coach counts.
You're mixing up things. You don't "sign" a commitment. You sign a National Letter of Intent, which is called "signing" and is essentially a contract. Enrollment doesn't have anything to do with it, other than it would be a release from the NLI before enrollment. After enrollment , it would be entering the transfer portal.
Edit: if you are just committed, it is MUCH easier to get out of that, regardless of whether a coach has been fired or not.
And for the record, the 3 players in the top ten in VA have all signed NLIs with Michigan, so all signed, and none just committed.
I think that must be for current players. I searched on it and says NLI is with school, not the coach. When the coach is dismissed though, it allows them to ask to be granted a release, but don't think it's automatically granted.
As to the stepping stones to getting a Natty, I'll accept going 7-14 against top 25, especially if most of those losses come against top 5.
Three of the top ten recruits for 2026. I wonder how much we'd really be in the mix for any of them.
I wonder if the finding and firing happening after the early signing period is coincidental (I'm guessing not). Athletes apparently can get out of NLIs for a coaching change, but apparently have to ask for it.
I guess we found the one kind of cheating that Mich is not ok with
Kitley is the analyst tonight. She may have a future in that roll.
Hence why we like the Spring "Game" so much.
Since Moore has been fired, the have the ability to be released from their commitment if they so desired (since they've only signed their commitment and have not enrolled yet).
They should have an immediate portal period because of the coaching change right? Can never remember if it's when a coach is fired or a new one hired (think this changed this year)
Actually back in the game for or wishful thinking? Was wondering myself if this meant those newly signed guys can rethink things. Who else from VA may want to come back home?
I'm picturing him dialing his number before Thamel even dropped the news
Shamari Earls, and Kainoa Winston, come on down....
At the half, the Hokies have a 32 point lead.
Presbyterian has more fouls and turnovers than points.
The Hokies have 7 more rebounds than Presbyterian has shots.
