Wow! We are loading up ladies an gentlemen. Three 1 Star Recruits, Three 2 Star Recruits and Two 3 Star recruits. With studs like these, Boise may be a destination of choice in the future instead of a curse.

I'm always complaining about that, I hate to see that we get commitments from kids that are offered by the likes of UAB, Vandy, Wake, Duke, Troy etc, but the reality is that it's very hard to recruit in SEC country, with the mutts playing like they have in the last 3 years, add the high criteria of the Hill (rumored to be 3.0 PGA, 960 SAT's and 4 math courses) and you have a small sample set. Not to say that we can't get kids like Dennis Scott, Darryl Richard, Rashaun Grant, and CJ that had offers from the likes of LSU, Miami, FSU, Notre Dame, UF etc. Still some of the kids we have today were not parade all americans and they have gotten the job done, despite all of that we get at least 2 or 3 kids who could play anywhere (last year it was Barnes, Peek, Johnson and Gardner).

That Dennis Scott could really shoot the rock. Sure do miss him.
 
And I wasn't talking lethal weapon III either, although I have good memories about that game at Cameron when the crazies tossed him tweenkies.

I wish some of these boneheads would watch more film and quit counting stars. Of course, chances are they would not know what they are looking at.
 
Oh come on now. We're 6-2 and are as close to a complete team as I've seen in many years. And as many are noticing, we have the potential to be a huge team next year (and of course can still be a huge team this year).

And you're worrying about how many stars a 17 year old has?

But let me help. Over the years, most of our 'average' recruits were lineman. We take them a bit physically immature versus teams that take them ready to go. Once we're caught up, the players tend to match fairly well.
We're pretty close to caught up stage.

Then there is the early commitments. If Chan signs them early, then I'm sure they can play.

Throw in positions like TE and FB where teams recruit player specific to their offense...

I wouldn't worry. Look at what Chan's building and I just wouldn't worry. Chan once said that he'd only recruit players that can help him win championships and quite frankly I believe him.
 
MacDaddy which coach at GT has had the best recruiting classes in the last 25 years?
If you know please include Studs and Stars.
 
I bet Tennessee would like to have our record to go along with their recruiting rankings.

You scalping your UGA tix again this year (seriously)? Let me know what you want for them. I'm finally going to get down for a game.
 
This is a hit and run post. I doubt he plans on responding. At least anything intelligent.

I don;t think our recruiting is where it needs to be either. That said, I think posts like these really show how little people understand. There is a LOT of parity in college football and it starts with the recruited talent. There are way too many prospects out there to have any resemblance of accurate star rankings outside of the top 30 people at a position. After that, its all personnel evalautions.
 
Damn football season isn't over yet and we already have a hit and run from a little whiney punk idiot. Probably sat there - if you even attend our games - and bitched through our victories over Clemson and Wake like some of our fans are inclined to do.
 
YUP, you are just about right here. BUT!, let's keep this thing in perspective while we're at it. What do you think it would take for GT to be able to recruit the 5 star & the 4 star recruits that are so sought after? What's it gonna take to get them in here? We may occasionally get a high dollar recruit at GT, but not consistently. I think if GT were to drop the standards that are required to be a student athlete here, we could get just about anyone we wanted. BUT! then GT would not be GT anymore either. GT would be just another school like UGA, FSU, MIAMI, etc. No sir, I like GT just the way it is. Am I happy with all that happens on the field? NO SIR, an emphatic NO SIR!!!! but given the restraints that all GT coaches have to work under, I think we are doing pretty well. Not well enough, but pretty dog gone well. GT is a special school, and even though I'm not an alumni, I've been brought up as a small child being a GT fan. I still get a lump in my throat when the band strikes up "UP WITH THE WHITE AND GOLD"-"RAMBLING WRECK" songs. Tie that in with the "NATIONAL ANTHEM", and I'm a wimp before kickoff. Man, GT IS SPECIAL!! and I'm proud to be a fan of GT win lose or draw. When we get right down to brass tacks, CCG does a pretty fair job of coaching considering what he has to work with between recruiting and the hill. Of all of the games so far this year, the one I was most concerned about was Wake Forrest, believe it or not. We won it, we won it, we won it, just like the Clemson one.......etc. Get on board pahdna and enjoy the ride cause this tour ain't over yet.
 
We are doing as well as we will ever do in the world of Bling Bling, ESPN, and College Gameday

A Public Service Announcement and then some housekeeping items:

Of the Top 10 teams in the BCS Standings how many have not had a top 25 recruiting class in the at least 1 of the past four years.....give up......0

Of the Top 10: 6 had top 25 classes each of the past four years: USC, Texas, Miami, LSU, Ohio State amd UGAG

Of the Top 10: 3 had top 25 classes in 2 of the last four years: Bama (who might be 4 for 4 if not for that little probation thing), Penn State and Virginia Tech


Of the Top 10: 1 had a top 25 class once in last four years: Oregon (who would have had more except the recruits saw their new uniforms and said screw that)

Yeah I guess rankings don't matter. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wtf.gif

Now housekeeping:

Fridge - Not sure if you were highly recruited but if you weren't it proves the system can be wrong becaue you are a GT all timer in my book.

Hivered- Don't question my knowledge. I'm sure if I mentioned Mike, Will, or Sam you would go look at the program for the last name.

Chilidog - No tix for sale. No family obligations this time around.

Jjacket /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/behead.gif - Idiot? You live in f'ing Adairsville! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/pat.gif Shouldn't you be back in your trailer beating your wife or at least shaving her old nasty back?

and I'm gone

alright, alright, alright

Bobby Cox and Orlando Wilson may disagree with your assessment of my town.

Not to brag, but I GUARANTEE you my horse farm makes your place look like a dump. Hell, I have a 4000 square foot barn that is probably nicer than your place.

And my wife is quite beautiful. In fact, I've had friends comment that I have outkicked my coverage. Of course, most of us do.

We also have a brand new high school with facilities that rival anything you have in the city. Indoor pool, 5000 seat brick stadium with aluminum seats like BDS east, ballfields with brick dugouts.

Also have Barnsley Gardens resort nearby, which was recently purchased by some of the richest folks in the state (Julian Saul and others).

Now look out your kitchen window and wave at your neighbor. I can't see mine.

Brilliant, simply brilliant. Of the past 25 years... how many times has GT had a top 10 class?

Give up?
ZERO!

Of the the last 25 years, how many times has GT had a top 25 class?

Give up?

TWICE. And that depended on who you read.

I hear what you are saying, but if you think we will ever be able to recruit on an even playing field with LSU and USC West, you're f***ing crazy!
