2020 Recruiting

Also, everyone needs to go check out where VPISU landed on the recruiting ratings then go tell your VPISU friends.

Being up here in Virginia, I would enjoy that but no way I'm setting myself up for the "45-0" comeback. I don't think that was the exact score and I have no intention of looking it up but you get my drift. Given that Va Poly is literally imploding (i.e., recruiting tanking; all 12 players who entered the transfer portal are having their scholly's pulled, Foster gone, ad nauseum), I will have decades to enjoy their pain - I can wait a year or two until the darkness descends upon their program.

We won't know until someone is prosecuted and a court rules. But that's the problem with passing stupid laws. Gurley knew what he was doing was wrong and he'd be suspended, but of course we can't blame him...

I am comfortable that I already "know"! Of course nothing the legislature did was designed to relieve the penalties on Gurley – just to create disincentives for people who might try to persuade athletes to break the rules.

Though I fully agree it was a stupid law and badly written. Unfortunately not atypical for a representative democracy. But as Churchill said, it's the worst kind of government except for all the others.

Saw this this morning. One can only wish the demise of USCw on that skool to the east.

Edit: graph is 2020 recruiting ‘score’ vs last five years. GT had greatest improvement in all of P5

What I find more remarkable than the movement of schools off the line is how many are clustered near the lower-left vs the upper-right.

No hell it does not. That's the text of 1.b.1 right there. It makes it illegal for the AGENT to solicit the transaction with the student. It says nothing about someone turning in said agent.

Think he's talking about the other code section I referenced

It’s a chart of last year’s recruiting (x axis) vs this year (y axis)

GT is above the slope meaning we improved.

USC did great last year (right side of the chart) but sucked donkey dong this year (low placement on the Y)

edit: I noticed the X is a 5 year average so we did well above normal

USC (the real one) got screwed on the Reggie Bush investigation worse than we got screwed on the Demaryious Thomas investigation. They got hammered for less than Auburn, LSU, UNC have done

Distance above the line shows outperformance versus prior 5 year average, where distance below the line shows underperformance relative to prior 5 year average.

We appear to be the furthest distance from the line on the top-side. Basically saying we outperformed our 5 year average more than any other program.

UNC and surprisingly enough Clemson are close to our level of outperformance relative to their 5-year averages.
 
USCw's low rank is because they had a very small class. I wouldn't write their obituary yet.

"So what, that's last year. Everyone knows we had PJs recruits."

"How did we manage a good class going 3-9 and y'all can't even do better than...Troy"
 
There is another recruiting analysis that does the same thing as that chart but goes all the way back to 2002 (I can't find it right now). Basically the same picture. Out of Power 5 teams, GT had a higher positive variance from baseline than any other school. Kentucky was a close 2nd.

USCw was the worst and even with a normal size class would have been an outlier of a bad class for them; 20 is a bad class for them. Arizona State got I think 5 of the top 25 players from California this year and Washington and Oregon did better than USC in California. I think over the time frame measured USCw was the #1 overall recruit champ.

The good thing is this was in the 1st full class for Collins and after a bad season. I don't think there was anything lucky or abnormal about the recruiting pool this year in Georgia or outside. The simple, minor point is there is no reason to believe this was a fluky class.

Also, it's interesting to see our current year ranking is similar to the 5-year ranking of the cohort including Arkansas, Michigan St, Miss St, and Nebraska. Not shabby. One more similar sized jump would put us in the Notre Dame, Oklahoma, aTm cohort. Even a rise half as far and you're talking Miami, Oregon. Very encouraging stuff.

Our new 5 year average is now ~200. If we repeat our point total from this year, next year, it would put us at outperforming by 11% - hopefully that number is closer to 20-25% next year.

I have heard of other Tech fans/people in the csra, I've never actually seen any.


I am kidding, just barely though.

We're here, but you are correct. Tech is a distant 4th when it comes to fans, media coverage, etc. I did hear from TOS that there was possibly less coverage due to CGC not holding a NSD presser whereas the others did, so that *could* be it.

However, this is the same local media that literally muttered "Why would he go there?" on air after covering Kemp's swearing in that occurred at Tech and then later stated "Kemp was sworn in today at an arena in Atlanta" leaving Tech out completely.

George P. Burdell wrote a Letter to the Editor years ago as well b/c it's so bad. As has been said before, winning cures all.
