2020 Recruiting

[Vespidie]

We were ACC runner up

Mrs State was LOWER than the SEC runner up, did NOT make the SEC CG

Despite the NAME of the game being the Orange Bowl, that game was the EQUIVALENT of the Gator Bowl with Joe Ham when we were ACC Co-Champs

Recruits that follow CFB closely know that when you ADD IN 3 games at the top (2 Semis & 1 CFP-CG) then that decreases the "perceived value" of that Orange Bowl game in the eyes of Recruits, in their eyes that game was on the same level as a Gator Bowl when we were ACC runner up

GT Fans 65 & over think it was the greatest achievement since the Polio vaccine, but to RECRUITS that follow CFB closely it wasn't a big deal

When the OB isn't in the Championship Rotation it is just another Bowl Game to Recruits

In today's Social Media Age these kids are a lot more information savvy

As smart as us GT Alums are I would think that we would understand these things

I'd venture to say that you're giving HS recruits a lot more credit than they deserve regarding the nuances of CFB. Most are probably aware of the very recent history (2 yrs) of the top tier programs. The illusion that there is any real critical analysis taking place by the top recruits is about as far fetched as the GTAA promoting a live Cheetah halftime show during our Thursday night game against NCST.

Are we still pursuing Vaipulu? Also, if we miss on Jayson Jones, then what are the other top DT targets?

Unless we miss somewhere else like WR, i think we are done with OL

Interesting. Thanks.

Now that would be the most 404 thing they could do, paying homage to a storied historical institution and supporting the arts.

Based on the season so far, we need a quality center. Vaipulu appears to be the only center we are pursuing. If we can not snap the ball, the WR's will not matter.

Koots and/or Spiers can play C. Vailulu appears to have waited too long.

Looks like he would have fit right in at Aback.

NCSU fans are gonna be pretty salty if we steal another 4-star recruit from them.

The special effects flash they add to the snap at the 18s mark really seals the deal for me on this tape.

 

[Flywheel]

Can he play DT?

Is he gonna play baseball? Two sports?

That's the rumor. He's an absolute stud in baseball.

My youngest son played with him on the GA Jackets, and yes he is a stud in BB and FB. Fast as hell and he does want to play both sports.

He got 5 cyrstal ball's to GT on 247 today, including one from an NCSU insider. He's only showing a 3 star across both sites for me. Did he drop in ranking recently? NCSU boards already saying losing him is a big loss, possibly 3rd or 4th best recruit they had.
