[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 135068, member: 322"] I think the quote was misguided to imply that the 1952 GT team was an outlier with regards to recruiting ranking and performance. In 1952 GT was one of the best in the SEC with one of the best coaches in the country and one of the most respected programs. We probably got the best recruits too. I do agree that the 1990 team was an outlier. Reading the book "Focused on the Top" there had even been considerations of getting rid of football at GT in the previous decade.
