Stop the ********. Franklin didn’t tell any recruits a damn thing after he was fired in the middle of October.
We literally have people complaining when we sign the #1 TE because he was from ISU and then complaining that we missed on another big time player because we didn’t sign the #37 WR.
No several parents said that there was little or no communication with them after Franklin was fired. THAT failure was on Kraft for not making sure someone on the staff was in charge of trying to salvage the recruiting class.
I’m not sure you are going to be ok. You are getting pretty worked up.
Staff allegedly. Someone's father verified this. On a neutral stance how do you get almost
an entire class to de-commit.
I really don't give a crap, it is what it is, don't have anything against Franklin, like Harbaugh,
and Andy Reid he needed a change, and so did the fans.
Looking forward to the MC era.
Little isn't "no communication" and others could have reached out for him
Regardless the 2026 class is irrelevant
Grunk isn’t officially on Virginia Tech yet. I am skeptical he even goes there with Tech signing Baker.
Adding depth to fill the spots that filled with the 2026 class and the 2025 people that have left
They're not relying on all these guys--need guys for practice and if they become more that's great.
We're not going to get 50 top tier portal guys--everyone wants to play
Hot take if he doesn’t go to Tech I believe he’ll come back here.
I don't see anyway that happens. We have the QBs Campbell wants. We're not going to pay him either.
If anything he's lurking to see if a team like Miami comes calling now that they didn't get Leavitt. Or the other teams chasing Dylan Riaola now that he went to Oregon
Ole Miss was last surviving SEC team and their qb was from division 2. Quit your crying until st least you see what’s on the field. FYI Campbell knows talent better than you
I don’t have anything against the positives Franklin did at PSU, but the thing does speak for itself. The whole class de-committed. It seems more like sabotage by the former staff than negligence by Kraft. It just has an aroma.
That’s kind of why I come down on the side of “sabotage” rather than Kraft screwing up. It’s a fair inference.
I think that kid has some strong potential. Would have liked him to stay at PSU.Lots of children here needing to be comforted
it starts with I love you..Lots of children here needing to be comforted
Two things can both be true. Sabotage by Franklin and his cronies and Kraft screwed up by not following through.
AD has to tell the coaches to recruit? I'm thinking they should be able to figure that out in their own.
Exactly. This is the time of year you should be beetching about a #15 recruiting class not being good enough.
I hope we haven’t blown our $30 million already. I haven’t seen one recruit where we can say “holy sh&t, I cannot believe we got that guy.” Either we don’t have as much NIL money to spend as we were told or we are spending a lot of money on players without much hype. I understand that hype surrounding players does not necessarily translate to success, but sometimes it does. We just don’t seem competitive for the top non-ISU players
