Oh yeah,"Mom, Dad, I committed to GT...quick!!! Off to StingTalk!! Gotta see what those douchebags think"
Guys,
Just on his stats the guy is a PLAYA.50+ catches as a SOPH! and JR! Lots of ints.
Plays on one the top teams in Ala and is one of the big reasons it is good.
We've recruited a LOT worse than he by any measure-er,ck your WR last yr.
A lot recruits and their families come on here and read. If you think it doesn't have any type of affect good or bad at all, you're wrong.
I'm anxious to get some commits that make other recruits take notice.
You are absolutely correct that a positive perception of a recruiting class attracts good recruits. We've seen it time and time again. Classes get momentum and snowball.
That's what's particularly damaging about a thread like this. We basically have 3 or 4 posters trashing what is a very early, mostly unranked recruit who likely has not been evaluated by a number of schools, and definitely hasn't been evaluated by ESPN & Rivals.
If I'm recruiting against GT I send a kid a link to this thread and say this how GT recruiting is going....you don't want to go there. Bad energy.
To say this kid is a 2-star is a bold-faced lie. Right now 1 service (Scout who is known to use 2-star as a placeholder prior to evaluation for D-1 comittted guys) has him as a 2-star. 247 has him as a 3-star. Rivals & ESPN haven't ranked him yet. Even if he had been ranked we see kids get bumped up and down in the months before signing day all the time.
The other safety from Maryland we took before spring practice and there was the same reaction. He's unranked! Nobody else has offered! Well, subsequently he's gotten some solid offers and is a 3-star. Good looking recruit with good film.
If Johnson was a unanimously ranked 2-star with no other solid offers on signing day then yes, that's a huge concern.
Until then all you freaks are doing is casting an unfairly non-fact based negative pall around GT recruiting that makes it harder to attract good prospects.
Are you really GT fans?
Correction is in fact a 2 star on Rivals although KQ has already stated this kid slipped through the cracks in evaluations and is likely to be a 3-star.
Thanks etc 79...your response shows you have no response and essentially admit you are a d-bag.
Let me take you on a tour of The Hive:

Well there you have it...it's apparent that the recruiting problems with GT have nothing to do with Paul Johnson and his staff, its StingTalk!! What do you ööööers have to say for yourselves....
I have to dispute the premise of this statement.
Saban has put more 4*/5* players in the NFL because he has more 4*/5* players.
I would rephrase the question to which coach is more likely to turn a 2* into an NFL player. If I'm wrong then I will humbly admit it but today/right now I don't think for a second that Johnson knows any less than Saban about how to turn a kid into a football player.
If Saban were at Tech and Johnson were at Alabama you might find that CPJ is the NFL pipeline and Saban is the few-and-far-between.
