2020 Recruiting

[Architorture23]

20 - Watkins opened his recruitment back up and I don't suspect he'll be returning.

Watkins is still committed to GT.

 

[JoeCakeEater]

He came back and re-confirmed his commitment only a few days after that news came out.

Well, that is not true.

Only 25 or less bees eligible to be passed out each year. We have 21. We could get a commit from a group of three, and possibly 1 more if we have 1 more to give.

Then we are all out of bees.

He can go past 25 because those are only verbal commitments. We are going to lose a few so no harm in getting more verbals at this point.

I'd like to see CGC routinely go past the 25 limit to allow us to absorb what seems like the yearly 4-6 player attrition

In no way am I saying go full on Sabanesque processing and turn us into the Greyshirt Motel, but we need to move closer to allowing ourselves to compete with no hands tied behind our backs

Suddes is one weekend away from running out of bees.

I think he will use upward of 30 bees this year. We are now recruiting against the big boys. That means last minute gains, losses, academics, etc. not to mention early enrollments.

To sign 25 every year, we would need to have 8 players leave early every year (based on 125 signees in a 5 year period)

Between transfers, medicals, and "other" aren't we pretty close to losing that 8 every yr

Sure seems like it, especially for the last 5 yrs

Without doing any research, I'd say we're pretty close.

When you consistently recruit well, you end up with some good players buried on the depth chart who will transfer out. Also, it's been awhile since this was the case at Tech, but you'll sometimes have players leave for the NFL after three years.

These things make it sensible to sign ~25 most years.

Now that the Vols are collapsing, can we flip the 4 star pro style QB out of Marietta?

I doubt Pruitt will ever coach him past year one.

My daughter went to the Tennessee game. She said Pruitt is done. Toast. Finished. Fans were getting torches, pitchforks, tar, feathers, and a rail.

Tennessee may be the worst team in a very weak SEC East this year.

They could have had Leach, but they had to run off their AD and let Fulmer in there.

We need to make a “Champions of life Trophy” and send it to the last place in the Sec East every year.

Jahmyr Gibbs has over 600 yards rushing in 2 games and has looked great wouldn't doubt he gets a bump to 4* by end of the year. I think with him in Griffin in the backfield within a couple of years we will have 2 top-end running backs in the ACC very soon both of these guys are great one-cut running backs who separate in space.

Less than that if you don't redshirt everyone.
