2025 Recruiting

#23 player in 2004 and the top 40 or so were all 5 star

Like I said, I believe that was done retro-actively. I don't think there was a such a thing as 5* nor an actual numerical rating in 2004. 4* used to be the max. They went back and applied a 5th star to the top 40ish in those older classes. One of the services did, I thought it was 247. May have been Rivals.
 
The sneeches on the beaches had stars upon thars.

Seems like we can do well with leftover talent and good coaching as of recent.

Tech has to be a good place for leftover talent, if we can give at least average money AND a good degree. Got to give these guys a what if football doesn't turn out considering degree and good network if football doesn't pan out.
 
Which is highly probable even for the best players. The NFL is different and just because you are a star at the NCAA level doesn't mean it translates. Of course by all means, play in the NFL if you can. But even the longest careers aren't very long.
 
If GT can also land the 5* OL to go along with 2 4* OL’s, that’s one helluva OL recruiting class. Would be nice if GT could land a DL class with a few 4* DT’s as well.
Have primo ols to practice against may draw some in

"He is an excellent finisher of blocks and has great versatility. Very rarely do you see a tackle being able to be athletic enough to be used as a puller in the running game and create a large hole for running backs in high school. Predominantly a left or right guard is used for this role. In pass protection, he is great at locking down his side and finishing with pancake blocks."
