As opposed to not being a play from starting but actually starting?
NC State without Devin Leary just isn't good--kind of like Minnesota without Morgan or Kentucky without Levis. Teams like that lose their QB and they're done.
Agreed--this year is very top heavy. A couple elite teams and a group that could be a great/very good. Then a lot of mediocre/subpar teams.
I'm just going by WL's draft projections. In the grand scheme of things, he's going to be set financially for life. Pretty hard to argue about that for the kid.
Pry has a lot of work to do. The talent level at VT is down and Penn State is taking the cream of this year's in-state talent followed by UNC. He's been much more visible than Fuente and has the best support for the program of any of the VA schools, but it will be no easy road. In its current condition, it's not a program I would recommend for CV.
Yep, Pry has his work cut out for him.
In today's world of instant gratification, it's hard to be there long enough to win with your own recruits unless you win right out of the gate.
Aside from the fact that a stronger VT would make it harder for PSU to consistently recruit a large chunk of the top 10 players in VA like we're doing this year, I'd like to see Pry do well. As a 30+ year VA resident, they're kind of the hometown team for me. Beyond that, based on my son's college short-list, I could be a VT dad by this time next year.Yep, Pry has his work cut out for him.
But it was impressive that VT came out of the half and had a great game plan on offense to mix up plays and be more agressive than they were in the first half which led to a 21-3 lead I believe late in the 3rd quarter. Unfortunately the VT defense could not hold that lead, but it seemed to show some progress for the program against a ranked team playing away.
Pry did a very good job at PSU and I wish him the best at VT. And as a side benefit his success at VT would likely give Duzzy another headach to deal with......
I think he should do what's best for him not what's best for Penn State. Same with every player at every school.
Yep Franklin has done well recruiting VA, but he will have a hard time getting to "elite" until he really does get the top PA kids every year, which we will likely see tomorrow with the 2 PA top WR's that are likely to be difference makers for oh-high-ya tomorrow. Franklin could also help himself with better results from NJ as well, where he hasn't really done too well on a consistent basis in recent years. He's done better in Ohio where the competition is very high, which is a head scratcher......
