Maybe something positive

[midatlantech]

The NCAA allowed teams to have extra ‘senior years’ this past year. This helped teams that had productive upperclassmen. See Wake, Pitt.

Tech was not one of them. We are loaded with young players at virtually every position.

The NCAA also allowed larger numbers this year in recruiting. It would seem that that would help schools with large senior classes. See ND and Tech’swas not small.

Tech should benefit in the next two to three years by following many other upperclassmen heavy programs of late.

I thought it was against the rules to post positive thoughts on Stingtalk.

Instead, our young players are graduating with three years of eligibility and heading for the transfer portal.

Three years out of HS is not young. That's the same year one can declare for the draft.

This happens with intelligent and driven student athletes. And Guys like McGowan end up at Tech in the same way. This is positive stuff.

I don't disagree, but the perception was that this was to reclaim the lost year for the athlete. Nobody really talked about the fact that the year wasn't lost academically. That's probably not a big deal for the factories, but we have intelligent people playing at Tech who are sold on the education. I don't think anyone ever expected the Portal to be used on players who have one season posted AND a college degree. Frankly, I'd be very surprised to find many other schools that are dealing with that situation.

Thank you , thank you, thank you.

I've been saying this so much I have carpal tunnel from all the extra keystrokes.

The mentality that 3 yrs out of HS is young is a leftover infection from the guy that coached here for 11 years, he programmed that loser's mindset into our Fanbase, and for too many GT Fans it is very hard to shake that infection.

Tons of Recruits all over the Country start College in January after graduating HS early, tons of CFB Players earn Academic Credits year-round because they go to school year-round and have off season workouts year-round.

The new Mindset among P5 CFB Players is why invest in an internship, when I can invest in myself thru year-round workouts, improve my chances to go to the NFL, and improve my chances to graduate early.

Almost all P5 CFB Players, go thru Summer School 4 times before they exhaust their on field eligibility:

Summer School after:
High School
Freshman yr.
Soph yr.
Junior yr.

And if they start in January, that means they have a minimum of 5 extra semesters to earn credits, some colleges have split Summer school sessions and some guys get credits from both Summer School sessions.

This is the main reason we rarely see anyone that is academically ineligible anymore, even here at GT.

All of the above occurs because the NFL now pays so much more than it used to, that the Players condition year-round and earn credits year-round.

Brave new world.....

Actually, they have no clothes.

The guys that are graduating "early" by on field standards and heading to the Portal will not sniff another P5 Program, most won't sniff a G5 Program either, the lucky ones will get a sniff at the FCS Level and some won't even get an FCS offer.

IMO, I don't think these guys will be getting any "burn" at the P5 level

82-61 record: loser's mindset

Yes, the education is our strong selling point. That being the case it wouldn't be unheard of for a player to work very hard to graduate in three years because he wants his degree. If that was his primary goal in coming here and he's achieved that then he might have further goals post-degree just like any grad student.

The other problem with using an early graduate is that it doesn't really fit the narrative. You have to put in a lot of effort over the course of all three years to accomplish this achievement. It's not something you wake up your third year and suddenly decide to graduate to "jump off the sinking ship"

Last 5 years vs Puke 1-4, yeah loser's mindset.

That 11 year hiatus from us playing "normal" CFB and using TEs has made it damn near impossible to Recruit a decent TE depth chart.

That means the residual effects of that win pctg. , that was .001 better than Chan has left lingering problems, whereas other "winning" GT Coaches never left lingering problems to be overcome, he was the only one, hhhm I wonder why......

You obviously love a system more than you love the well being of GT FB.

Don't make drive by cheap shots and I won't respond to them, and we'll get along just fine

You didn't address 9-25. Collins did beat a ööööty Duke team though. Maybe he should get another 7 years. I have never understood the fascination with Duke football on this board.

No fascination with Duke FB.

CPJ neglecting Recruiting for 11 years is the reason Cutcliffe had the success they had, same for Kentucky that got fat off of GA HS Recruits that CPJ and his gimmick offense chased away to other Colleges.

That .580 win pctg vs FBS carried with it an extremely expensive back end cost, that has nothing to do with CGC not living up to expectations.

Being pissed at ignoring Recruiting for 11 years is NOT proof that CGC's results are acceptable, they are not!

You can't ignore Recruiting for 11 years in a State like GA, the guy you worship did just that.

It's ironic for you to talk about "cheap shots" - your "loser's mindset" cheap shot was the reason I commented. And sure, I like the option because we won with it. If we ran an eleven tight end set and win games with it, that would be fine too.

 

[Supersize that order mutt]

Some more positive news, if true....my "source" who has a damn good track record on rumors, told me a few minutes ago that Tech is getting 2 big-time transfers possibly this weekend, plus one more --- Paul Tchio from Clemson top 100 player out of high school 4 years left, the other is Pierce Quick from Alabama top 40 player out of high school 4 years left, both offensive linemen. Also we have another player visiting this weekend with them Kobie Turner, a defensive tackle and all America at Richmond with one year remaining

You don’t have to reveal your “source” obviously. But you are old enough to not believe everything you hear so God willing you’re right!

You don’t have to reveal your “source” obviously. But you are old enough to bot believe everything you hear so Hod willing you’re right!

All of the transfer info he is referencing is public info. Not that his source might not know “more”.. but all of those players have been brought up on this public site, another or have been mentioned on Twitter. Hope we can lock them all in for the spring!
