he wants to talk to Franklin, but he's not 100% in yet

Losing LJ isn't going to things.

WE'll see, but he has been following coach Spencer on twitter for almost a week as well. Spencer is a great coach and beast recruiter as well. If we lose a recruit, so be it. I really like Holley's upside, but he's still very raw and not someone we'll see on field right away no mater who is coaching him. Hope he sticks, but keeping O'Connor was the most important thing to do, we were razor thin at QB

1 or 2 left... Or more if Franklin tells any of the verbals to look around. He hasn't said he wouldn't.

I'm pretty sure he'll give them the "you may not fit in here" speech. Say he'll honor their ships, but it may be in their best interest to look elsewhere.

He was known in Vandy to over sign. Then he will cut players before the season starts.

Can not oversign here with sanctions, we are strictly limited to certain amount of ships to give this year. We don't get full classes back till next year

On the recruiting front, apparently we are supposed to get this guy Chip West. I don't know anything about him, but according to 247 sports he is #1 recruiter for ACC, so that can't hurt. I don't know how they get those rankings, but its exciting

guy is a monster recruiter (obviously) and very good DB coach. Our Defensive staff would be superb if he's the final piece.

Yes please for Chip West. Once PSU gets rolling, success in Virginia can be the difference between top 15 and top 5 type classes.

This staff already has the guys to get top 10/5 classes. West would just be gravy and I hope he gets an offer from Franklin. He just hired an RB coach from WMU, Charles Huff. Another young guy. Went to Hampton, has connections in VA/MD and is a very aggressive recruiter.

Staff hit the road today, everywhere from NJ, Pa, VA to California. These guys will have pedal to metal at all times

Think we've seen the first of the "we'll honor your ship, but if you can find a better fit, it may be best for you" decommits. Troy Vincent off to NC State. He seemed like a decent player, but small and not a burner. Shoop seems to prefer more physical corners. With the caliber of DB's visiting next week, I'm not sweating this one at all. Good luck to the kid.

Thinking the same thing, hopefully they use that scholly and get Emmanuelle Smith. I must admit I just want it to be signing day already so no need to constantly check whats going on
