An important caveat to remember about Tech recruiting is that CPJ's staff apparently has an eye for talent, because it seems that we offer kids before they become popular with the football factories. So, at first, a kid may have no/low stars, but once the Bamas jump on board, his stock rises.
The problem with this is that many Tech fans seem to need outside validation before they can feel good about Tech's recruits. Apparently, CPJ has respect among other coaches, and they know that if he offers a kid, then that kid is good. Actually, it's a little unfair that CPJ does the initial scouting, then the vultures swoop in at the 11th hour and steal away our best recruits.
Seeing this happen every year lets me know that CPJ knows what he is doing when it comes to scouting talent.
