Wednesday is Early Signing Day across college football, and there is still no coach in place at Penn State since they fired James Franklin back in October. As for Franklin, he was hired at Virginia Tech 16 days ago, and to say that he hit the ground running would be a massive understatement.
Since being hired in Blacksburg, he has gone back to his Penn State recruits and is plucking them and having them follow him to Virginia Tech. It started last week with four-star running back Messiah Mickens committing, and it went through Thanksgiving Day and now into this week.
