I believe it was G. O'L that made the statement once, if a person doesn't want to play for GT, I don't want him on my team.
May not be an exact quote, but that was the gist of his statement and I agree.
Let's not get too torn up about players jumping ship right away since
first, we don't know for sure if they are going to yet, and
second, if they don't want to be a part of our program, let them get out of the way. There'll be someone either as good or better who will eagerly take their place.
When our football team used to seem to quit during a game, I would wonder how much of a commitment they really had.
Someone used to post here with the signature "LEAD FOLLOW OR GET OUT OF THE WAY". I think this is a good time to drag some feet up to the fire for the test.
In my feeble mind, it doesn't matter how many stars a recruit has next to his name or how he is rated with his peers, he can either get with our program or get lost and now is the time for him to make that decision. I hope Paul Johnson does not let any of them hold him hostage during this transition time.
