When James Franklin was at Penn State, he was a recruiting machine when it came to high school recruits. He routinely came into the DMV and Virginia to pluck the area's top recruits. Virginia Tech fans are hoping he can do the same now that he's in Blacksburg.
Franklin has said that it is going to take the Transfer Portal and high school recruiting to build up the Virginia Tech roster as he gets going for next year and beyond. He made a major push this past weekend by getting dozens of recruits on campus for the game against Miami.
