When will the recruiting class be finished and fully announced?

As a teacher of 130 middle schoolers...

Nope.

Who's James Mutha Mucking Franklin anyway!

Just a top down embarrassment that the school allowed it to get to this point.

This right here. What is even worse, in my opinion, is that Brent Pry is the only one taking serious consequences for it. (Also Fuente, too, but he kind of burned my sympathy bridge when he publicly stated that the coaches are the ones who are smart, the fans are not smart). There are so many more people that should be taking a public, metaphorical flogging for what they have wasted in terms of the athletics success that Virginia Tech has seen over the last 30-ish years.

My only hope is that someone is taking the red-hot fire poker to those involved, behind closed doors, and keeping them on very tight leashes until they show long-term, sustained improvements in all areas they oversee. Otherwise, show them the door!

My 15-yr old played football for the first time this year (6'3" and started at LT...humble brag). Said everyone's fighting for 67.

Two 2⭐ QBs = a 4⭐ right?

Stay gold!!

Just the simple fact that we have concerns about not getting a 4-star already tells me we are moving in the right direction. The way Pry had us headed we would be losing out on 2-stars...

lot of coaching changes...probably lots of 4* Fr and r-Fr gonna be in the portal soon...or more likely, Franklin wants someone with more experience for the next year or two. i am guessing next year's starter will come from the portal

Yeah, I think RB was by far our most solid position this year, at least on offense.

Have you checked out Bill C's Resume Rankings?

SP+ is meant to be predictive, but his resume rankings are meant to grade past performances:

What is SP+? In a single sentence, it's a tempo- and opponent-adjusted measure of college football efficiency that I originally created at Football Outsiders in 2008. SP+ is intended to be predictive and forward-facing. It is not a résumé ranking, so it does not automatically give credit for big wins or particularly brave scheduling -- no good predictive system does.

It is simply a measure of the most sustainable and predictable aspects of football. If you're lucky or unimpressive in a win, your rating will probably fall. If you're strong and unlucky in a loss, it will probably rise.

Résumé SP+ compares each team's scoring margin (capped at 50 points for a given game) to what an average top-five team would be expected to generate against a given opponent. If a top-five opponent would be projected to win a game by 10.0 points, and a team wins by 15 instead, that's a +5.0 rating for that game. By the end of the season, only a handful of teams will have a positive rating because clearing a top-five bar is obviously very difficult. (Note: A seven-point penalty for losses is applied to the rating as well, meaning your rating has seven points deducted for each loss.)
