Getting to the Heart of the Matter

Understanding that this team is going to have to go through a full pre-Beamer Era rebuild and may never attract the high-end 4 and 5-star talent to play easily in the top 12 is tough to talk about.

The West Virginia Game showed the gaping holes in the current roster and the absolute youth and inexperience that Hokie Nation will be seeing until Brent Pry re-establishes many lost lines of recruiting and successfully replaces the philosophies that this group of players was brought up in.

Here are some of the Young Players we will see as the seasons progress during this multi-year rebuild:

So, Let’s Talk Turkey about this Week’s Blitz

    Virginia and the "500-mile radius" has 5 FBS Virginia football teams competing for recruits. Maybe never and we stay a mid-grade team forever.

    The money pressure for the high value, high dollar players is just too much. Tech is a 3-star program with 5-star aspirations and the fan base is going to get unhappy fast. Pry’s got 3 years, tops.

    Three years, at least, and even that is going to be difficult since the current college football configuration is changing drastically over that period. Who knows, really?

    Pry will have this team on its feet and back to winning in three to four years, but everyone needs to take a breath and realize how bad things were.

GO HOKIES!!!
