UGA 15 - Tech 1

The one advantage we have in recruiting is education and career success. Unfortunately very few players care about that in today's environment.

That’s somewhat my point. Going forward the draft will be less reflective of the schools responsible for that player being drafted.

Let's say you start a a regular student at GSU, transfer into Tech and finish your required credits for your major. What college does your degree show?

It sucks. But if we are going to bemoan the lack of players being drafted into the NFL, that didn't start with Collins. People are conflating things that aren't related because they are tired of losing. Understandable but inaccurate.

I’m bemoaning how bad of a HC we have. That’s all.
 
No excuse for that. O’Leary and even Gailey sent plenty of players to the NFL.
 
For öööös and giggles, Ebikete the Falcons new 2nd rd pass rusher, was a CGC recruit

Right which is the earmark of a flash in the pan program - not some sleeping giant or one that has lost its way.

Ehh. Going to post this again.

List of Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in the NFL draft - Wikipedia

Granted, these aren't apples to apples because they used to have more rounds, but it's pretty clear when things fell off a cliff after Gotsis and DJ White in 2016. We didn't have a non-specialist drafted in 2017, 2018 or 2019. Then a single 6th rounder in 2020, a 6th rounder in 2021 (and a 7th round specialist) and a 7th rounder this year. Not sustainable at the P5 level no matter what offensive scheme you run. This is the elephant in the room and why TStan went the direction he did.

Not overly shocking... UGA gets much better players brought into their program. UGA is nothing more than a minor league for the NFL. GT is at least a college.. I personally wished they would develop a minor league system for the NFL. This way, the kids that want an education can get one. Those that just want to play ball, can do so. Win....win....

Those were in part the fruits of the Bobinski debacle. There was simply no way to keep up at the funding levels we had. TStan went after that from day one, but it takes time for recruiting to catch up. It is also why we should expect CGC’s recruiting to improve now that he has had time to make inroads the past 3 years with HS programs.

Fair context. I recall TStan getting the new locker rooms done right away and I know CPJ had asked for those and MBob refused.
