There is 0 justification to switch from GT to Arkansas. Last 3 seasons: 2-6 SEC, 0-8 SEC, 2-6 SEC. GT is a top 10 team with the legitimate potential to make a run in the next 2 years. Arkansas has fewer players in the NFL than GT (especially at WR). Arkansas has a far less valuable degree and is in a less desirable city. GT will be thinner at WR, so a chance to be a play maker earlier. He'll get single coverage at GT and will put up crazy numbers. He'll learn to block and will get a look from the NFL (like Waller and Smelter). Coaching situation is much more stable at GT than Arkansas.
- 0 justification? To who? People have different views about things.
- fewer players in NFL. Thought that was not a justification to go to a school.
- far less valuable degree? Probably, but in what field? And my degree has never spent one day in the field, factory or behind a desk. I determine my value by how hard I work and sacrifice.
- less desirable city? In which person's opinion? You remind me of a guy on our bus charter to the 2009 ACCCG. We stopped at a small town towards south Ga. to get some eats. While waiting in line, this dickwad was running his mouth about in rednecks, Podunk city, ignorant people, could not be successful from there, on & on. Then a member of our group asked him if all his vile crap applied to one of our starters who came from that town.
Hope we get the young man to come to GT, but if he does not, that does not mean where he goes is as you described.
