The A+ grade makes sense when you consider the context. Franklin's ability to mobilize boosters and rebuild recruiting pipelines in the DMV and Tidewater regions could be transformativ for Virginia Tech. The ACC's current lack of a dominant superpower gives him a real oportunity to compete for conference titles year after year, which wuld be a massive win for the Hokies. This could genuinely mark the begining of a new era in Blacksburg.

I agree with you completely - this is going to be transformative for the Virginia Tech athletic department. Especially paired with a massive influx of funds, it could make the Hokies competitive immediately.

I hope he crushes it! (Just doesn’t crush Penn State in the process).

Also, both A+ go to former Nittany Lion staffers — the ones who got Saquon Barkley to Happy Valley! What a world.

I don't think they have any games scheduled between Tech and Penn State, so you may be safe for now!

And I totally forgot Huff was on that staff at Penn State. I must be a fan of theirs or something lol

Haha. You never forget the details of your favorite all-timer. His wife Jessica is actually a PSU grad and ran track and field. She’s really nice, too. So I have a few reasons to remember the Huff’s lol
