James Franklin isn't necessarily the prototypical "Hokie fit". And that's what makes it an A+ hire. Everyone enjoy Marcolini's latest column, available for all: www.thekeyplay.com/virginia-tec.... #Hokies

And if you enjoyed it, give it a share. Thanks to the 10 people who joined TKPC. 🦃

Two are in, down to 8 now. LFG. #Hokies
Both Marcolini and Shelton are writing Franklin columns, if we get 10 people fully dipped into The Key Players Club tonight, then they will publish for everyone to enjoy. Right now they are both scheduled behind the paywall (where we broke the Franklin news 😉) thekeyplay.com/the-key-play... #Hokies
