I'm in wait and see mode on the OL. They might develop into a line that is better than what we have had the last 3 years or they might not. We just don't know either way. Koon gives his rationale for why it might be and that is fine. Robinson looks like a pure project. The other 3 brought in...

This is absolutely correct, but it also shows how GT is working toward the future. Graduate students in general are not going to be big supporters of an athletic program and online ones even less so. GT is likely generating alot of revenue for the school (by that I mean the academic side) and...

Correct.

I've stated in the past that GT is so different than when I went to school. I've been putting together statistics on the 69 schools that will be in the P5 conferences in 2024 (I am including ND in this). Things like undergraduate and graduate enrollment, endowment size, win totals in football...

I know it seems unfathomable, and it might be, but if you are going to have a super league and TV is paying for it, TV is going to want super league games, not games against teams outside of it. Geno Smith talked about college football being run completely separate from the other sports. So...

I think the idea of the eventual split in the NCAA will be for there to be multiple tiers. The Tier 1 group will likely only play other tier 1 teams. Like the NFL. I'm not expecting Tier 1 teams to play tier 2 teams. That is not what I think will happen and this is also why I don't think it is...

TV could care less about whether you attend the game. Frankly, TV would rather you do not attend the game and watch on your TV at home. Why do you think attendance has been dropping for over a decade now in every conference. It is TV that controls when games are, not the schools. That was deal...

FWIW, here is the updated 247Sports Top 247 transfer list. https://247sports.com/Season/2022-Football/TransferPortalTop/ GT players of note Gibbs - #4 (5*) Ivey - #69 (4*) Harvey - #116 (3*) McDuffie - #122 (3*) Tchio - #172 (3*) Gee - #193 (3*) Domineck - #233 (3*) Gibson - #241 (3*)

And this is why I think long term it would be better for college football to simply blow up and rebuild in a way that makes sense now. Let those 25-30 programs that believe they can truly fund what is nothing more than a minor league NFL team do that. Let the other schools reorganize football...

So if we have 4 scholarships left what do people see as our biggest needs to try to fill out of the portal? #1 on my list would be DL - both interior and edge.

As someone with a son who is on the Autism spectrum the topic of accommodations is important to me, but I think it is better to have its own thread so we can keep this one more focused on transfers. I've started a topic on it in the Lounge for anyone who is interested...

I am going to start a thread here about accommodations for people with disabilities. There has been some discussion in a thread on the football board but this topic is better suited to this one. As a father of a child who is on the Autism spectrum accommodations are an important topic to me. We...

This is just a fun piece on new college football hires. Thought I would include it here since it includes a number of ACC hires. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/2022-college-football-coaching-carousel-outlooks-for-new-hires-from-most-likely-to-win-big-to-shortest-leash/

FWIW, Mountain West has also said it will do away with divisions starting in 2023. I do think if the ACC moves away from divisions that will likely make it more difficult for GT to make the Conference Championship going forward. Right now GT plays in arguably the weakest P5 division in college...

I think he makes some good points (with a little white and gold colored glasses), but he sort if steps around the elephant in the room. He basically says that this group of portal transfers is more naturally talented than the OL players GT has had the last 3 years - I think that is probably an...

I know there was an article on this a couple of years ago but the GT alumni base in metro Atlanta was only the 8th or 9th largest in the Atlanta MSA. All the large state schools around GA had larger alumni bases and I think even one or two of the B10 schools had larger alumni bases here than...

FWIW, i'm not advocating moving 'down', i'm just saying if the prognosticators are correct that college football is headed for a huge restructuring I don't believe GT will be at the top of that restructuring because GT doesn't really bring anything to the table to be in that top tier and really...

I will say that having spent a couple of years at an Ivy school that the poster is correct that they take tremendous pride in their athletic programs and when they succeed against their peers. I've been to watching parties here in Atlanta to see Ivy teams take on each other. Alot of this comes...

Just as an FYI Here is a list of the players lost and players gained through the portal so far this offseason. QB - out - 2 (Yates, Peery), in - 2 (Gibson, Phommachanh) RB - out - 3 (Gibbs, Griffin, Amerson), in - 2 (McDuffie, Hall) WR/TE - out - 3 (Sanders, Deveney, Ezzard), in - 2 (Benson...

I also want to add that while i'm happy to see us rebuild our depth in the QB room (and I think it is in a better spot than it was last year), I still think Sims is likely the clear starter. I don't see Phommachanh as really overtaking Sims, at least not early in the season. He is coming off an...
