Gibbs, Mason, Griffin, Amerson...

I hurts to lose players but I really don't think Tech has any more players in the portal and other teams. The portal has changed college football be it for the better or worse.

If we need a big bruising RB for short yardage why not Demetrius Knight? He was recruited as an option QB.

Hard to say. Thomas, Mason, Gibbs were all starters. Yates and Griffin were on the two deep. Seems like I am forgetting someone.

I don’t know if that is unusual or not. Covid year definitely is a factor by adding a year of eligibility.

If you say so. Why don't you apply for the job since you are an expert at recognizing talent, getting them to GT, and coaching them up?

Didn't realize that the job was open. Would certainly be in favor of them taking applications.

The difference is, we are so bad we cant lose anyone and not get worse

I don't think there is any way TC is actively encouraging players to leave as some sort of grand plan to also leave. I just don't think he is that kind of man.

I don’t think Choice is either. I just wonder if they see Choice leaving, so they’re jumping ship.

3 3win seasons can do it

It would be funny if, in YEAR 4 of CGC regime, the two starting backs would still be CPJ recruits...

Funny as in crying myself to sleep?

 

[GTRules]

It would be awesome if Mason stayed. Smith and Mason in the backfield is a good 1/2 punch.

Only half a punch?

Juanyeh is going to the NFL, Mason hasn't decided anything publicly, and Griffin was the #4 RB and redshirted, definitely not on the 2 deep (which doesn't exist because "ATL")

I don't want to hurt her.

 

[whiskey clear]

The portal taketh away and the portal likely giveth. I’m sure we’ll be looking to bring in a RB that felt slighted at his previous stop. That’s no different than 2 of the names in OP.

RB was our best and deepest position. We won’t be coming out ahead on any portal transitions. Sinking ship.

I bet he could equal 3-9 if he did.

Good for you.

Go make some money young fella!

 

[RamblinWreck27]

When we come out the other side of this and look back, JP will be remembered as a bright spot in dark times of GT football. Thankful for all his contributions and hope to be rooting for him on Sundays.

 

[smokey_wasp]

Would love to have him back, but you got a limited window as a RB. Go get it, JPM

 

[77GTFan]

He will be a good NFL back in my opinion. He is not an all-pro type of talent, but I would love to see him drafted by my team. He is a great short yardage back, has good speed, and is really tough.

With all the players gone and staff changes, which rebuild will be greater, 2018 or 2022?
