I've been involved in recruiting for more than two decades. Covered at least 25 signing days. Never seen anything like what James Franklin is doing at Virginia Tech @VTScoop247 t.co/43SbbOH5Bn

I said it the past couple of years and it bears repeating … a lot of kids entering the portal (or will enter) are done playing football but have no idea they are done playing football.

Had multiple '26 prospects tell me today that if James Franklin was hired by a school, they would make an official visit before signing day.

Spoke to sources about the expected suitors once five-star WR Quincy Porter gets into the @247SportsPortal (VIP) @TomLoy247 @chris_hummer @mzenitz @247Sports t.co/2EXnNA4iyt

I am noticing the business aspect coming into play much more this cycle now that rev share is a thing. More players getting flat-out cut, others being offered markedly less than they made the year before because the production was not as expected so they hit the portal.

Some of my thoughts on James Franklin and what he is doing at Virginia Tech
