2020 Freshman Class Re-Ranked as 8th in the Nation

[coit]

Who exactly ranked them, and on what basis? Did it occur that some teams might play a lot of freshman because their upperclassmen suck after years of lousy recruiting, while other teams have some great freshman that are stitting behind stud seniors and juniors?

Do we need any more proof that this dude is a troll? Blazer, is that you?

He complains all the time.

Change your bloody tampon and quit complaining about my alleged complaining.

Why do you complain so much. I get that you’re prolly an engineer but seriously, all the time? Doesn’t it get old being pissed off 24/7?

I didn't complain. In fact . . . I have no $@&*ing idea what you think I'm complaining about - and I'll bet you don't either. What do you think is my complaint?

I asked some reasonable questions about how someone decided our class is number 8. What metrics did they use? Who chose the metrics - Brad Shepard? WTH are his qualifications? Hey, maybe we should be better than number 8! I don't know, because it just looks like a random number pulled out of Brad Shepard's nether regions. So why are you accepting 8?

And in general I probably complain less than you. I'm not pissed off 24/7, but I do use my brain 24/7 to question and think about what people write or say, and no that does not get old. Again, YMMV.

Sure, It's great publicity. I guess. How many folks even pay attention to Bleacher Report anyway - they seem to be full of S%!* at least half the time when I read anything they write? But I'm sure it's great publicity. Especially for mindless drones. Of which there are clearly many . . . even a surprising number here.

Anyway, I agree that your philosophy is stellar. Don't question the validity of anything, because if you do . . . well then you're just complaining. Just pour yourself another glass of Koolaid like you've been doing since childhood and never question whether there might be some better drink out there for an adult. Drink up and enjoy!

You calling me a mindless drone bro?

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again— Geoff Collins is a big time recruiter. He will put GT back on the map. It’s going to take at least 2 more years of recruiting, maybe 3 or 4 to reinstate true P5 talent to our great tradition of football. But he will do it, just like O’Leary that he learned from.

Yes. Agreed.
The question is: are our coordinators up to the task?
I'm of the opinion that they were indeed hired to be part of the rebuild but not part of the come up. I do believe that few coaches wanted to put their necks on the line with what many across the country called an empty cupboard. Tech needed to rebuild it's base with better players first and foremost.

I think it's too early to tell. I see too many mental/freshman mistakes by our players to know if it's poor coaching/game plan or just poor talent and young talent. I don't think you're far off on your thought process though.

Didn't click, but this doesn't make a lot of sense to me. We're only halfway through this season, for starters. And moreover, the performance of freshmen is a reflection not just of their talent but of their playing time. An awful lot of great freshmen may be on the bench this year because they've got quality upperclassmen ahead of them.

This. I think it's hard to assess how good a recruiting class is based on on-field performance until like 4-5 years out. We've definitely seen encouraging things though.
