It has been eight days since James Franklin was named the next head coach at Virginia Tech. The former Penn State coach hit the ground running with recruiting and brought in a slew of recruits to Blacksburg this past weekend.
So far, he has hit the jackpot in recruiting, and on Tuesday night, he landed his first recruit when four-star running back Messiah Mickens committed to Virginia Tech. Franklin has been quiet on social media since arriving in Blacksburg, as he has been doing a lot of the behind-the-scenes stuff and interviews. Tuesday night, before it was official that Mickens was coming to Blacksburg, he had his first social media posts as the Hokies' new head coach.
