When Penn State fired James Franklin, it was never realistic to expect his recruiting classes or his staff to stay put in Happy Valley without him. Two days into his tenure at Virginia Tech, Franklin has been in talks with multiple current and former Penn State commits, but he has already closed the deal with the recruiting personnel who helped him build those classes.
On Wednesday, BlueWhiteIllustrated was the first to report that Franklin’s general manager of personnel and recruitment, Andy Frank, and his chief of staff, Kevin Threlkel, are joining him in Blacksburg.
