Geeteelee, this not a scientically, statistacally, or proven theory I admit that. I have followed Tech recruiting very closely for about 25yrs. When alums and fans could actively help recruit I did so. I personally was called to Newnan High to meet with Bill Curry, had dinner for Rip Scherrer when he rcruited Newnan also anther assistant at that time, met. I was called to meet them at practice. There were coaches from other colleges presen also. I was on the letter writing campaign and Al Ciraldo visited me at my work. Back then you could phone, write, and speak in person if you saw them on the street. I also attended a coctail party at the new Edge building for these perfectly lgal volunteers. So in my experience with Tech recruiting through the years I have found that a lot of our recruits are not so much listed with blue stars or with 5 ratings or what have you, but in the end when we have had bowl type teams most of our recruits were not only recruited by top 25 teams, but also officially offered scholoships by those teams. That is the most important indication of your class.
