Reminder: That was the worst UT team of ALL-TIME. I think TaQuon can be a good QB for us, but that first game tricked us. Our real takeaway from that game should have been that our defense was garbage.
The problem with this theory is your original assumption is incorrect. We are not recruiting different guys on offense.
We offered at least 18 four and five stars on the offensive side of the ball.
Just because we missed on all but one doesn’t mean we aren’t going after them or don’t want them.
I suppose if you count practice squads. Kelly Campbell had 1000 yards receiving in the NFL and White had over 2000. Freddie Smith had more receiving yards.
The NFL didn’t have much use from sub 6 footers back in those days. I bet all those guys could’ve had more success in the modern NFL that...
O’Leary signed Jonathan Smith. He was a freshman in 2000. That’s why I left him off.
O’Leary was a monster at WR recruiting. Middleton, Campbell, Watkins, White, Smith, Curry, Glover. I’d take that 99 WR corps as the best in Tech history.
Seriously. Bilbo as a wideout is probably the fifth best receiver we’ve had post O’Leary days behind Calvin, Demaryious, Hill, and Smelter.
In fairness, that is kind of a depressing fact.
I’m more of a football guy, but in all honesty we have way more upside as a basketball school.
In the marketing/brand realm we have been “cool” in basketball at least three separate times in my lifetime. Early 90s, Marbury, and then early Hewitt. Not surprisingly those eras correspond to five...
The difference in talent between a Georgia Southern and a Wofford or ETSU in those days would make Alabama vs UAB look balanced.
You will never see that kind of talent disparity in the FBS, especially not within your own conference.
Is there an example of this iteration of CPJ’s offense with decent pass blocking? Even the years that we’ve been proficient throwing the ball the QB seems to be facing a jailbreak every attempt.
I like this guys style. I’ll remain cautiously optimistic until I see some recruiting. We need a major talent upgrade across the board to have a competent defense.
