When James Franklin was hired at Virginia Tech, you got the feeling that he was going to take recruiting to the next level from what fans had been used to. It feels like recruiting went to the back burner a bit under Justin Fuente. Brent Pry tried to change things, and he did a good job, but it was nothing like what Franklin can and is attempting to do.
Shortly after being hired in Blacksburg, Franklin flipped nearly a dozen recruits he had committed to him at Penn State to follow him to Virginia Tech. One of those was four-star quarterback Troy Huhn from California.
