## Resource

James Franklin lays down a realistic roadmap for Virginia Tech’s rebuild, stressing depth and consistency over flashy promises. With just fifteen spring practices, he admits it’s too early to judge the roster—and needs four to five weeks of summer training to see real progress. Drawing from Penn State’s painful 2016 collapse, he knows how thin depth can cripple a team, especially under a 40-player scholarship cap. Franklin’s focus is steady, incremental improvement, ensuring the Hokies can handle a brutal schedule. Urban Meyer adds perspective: three wins last year means expectations must be grounded in results. Franklin’s message? Build a foundation, one player, one practice at a time—because the field doesn’t care about hype, only preparation.
