This team just isn't very good. That is the simple truth of the matter. Doesn't have the horses this year. We are headed to our 14th losing season in the last 26 years (3 of Cremins' last 4, 5 of Hewitt's 11 seasons, 3 of Gregory's 5 seasons and 3 of Pastner's 6 seasons). Since the Marbury/Barry...

FSU has lost 2 players to season ending injuries and a third is out indefinitely. Our loss was definitely the start, but then the injuries started to pile up. Also Wake, despite already having 20 wins, is the team most likely to be the empty calorie team that is left out. They currently don't...

The issue for the schools like GT is the portal, just like how almost everything else is set up, will benefit the factory schools compared to others. The best players at the non factory schools will be picked off by the factory schools. Offering them more exposure and money potential. The ones...

I think the idea that GT is ever going to get 5 star recruits is delusional. How many 5 star recruits has GT gotten in its history - I believe Calvin is the only one since the inception of modern recruiting? That tells you the answer. Just getting 4-5 4-star recruits consistently would be a huge...

If you look at is rationally, everything we are seeing in recruiting says we are recruiting in the middle of the pack in the ACC. Johnson's tweet is helpful. Another data point is 247sports where the avg player rating for GT's overall ranking (46 - which includes both HS and transfers) is 42nd...

Frankly this feels like the biggest blow from a PR perspective to date. A big deal was made about how close he is to Collins and his role at Auburn when he came here.

Right now with the combination of family issues and then both the FB and BB programs really not doing well this year it is difficult to get up to talk about them. Ironically most of our non-revenue sports are doing really well but the 2 main revenue producers are both struggling mightily this year.

Unfortunately, this is just not a good team. There is some young talent that isn't ready and not enough older talent to cover for it. We really needed to get a big man in the portal last spring and did not. This is also a poor defensive team - really the first one under Pastner at GT. It's a...

Mooney and Lewis signed today. Bonner signed with Neb, Delaine signed with Syracuse. While both were committed coming into today I don't think either was expected to sign with GT today. Clemson and Miami both had good days today.

I have no issue with taking well-regarded transfers who haven't played yet because they are just FR or SO in college. It is why I like what 247Sports is doing with their recruiting rankings and having one that has both included. Whether they are in HS or a FR in college you are basically...

There are multiple issues at play here. First, just being a millionaire isn't enough. It is being a significant multi-millionaire. Second, you need to have multi-millionaires that are interested in supporting the FB program. This is purely a guess on my part, but i'm willing to bet that a lower...

In 5 of the 12 games last season GT had less than a 10% chance of winning the game entering the 4th Quarter. The idea that we were competitive with everyone is somewhat overplayed. In only 4 games was GT winning percentage entering the 4th quarter above 50% (NIU, UNC, Duke, KSU). In a 5th game...

They replace Ole Miss atop the Transfer Portal ratings with this commitment (Ole Miss slipping to #2).

Homecoming will be either Duke or Miami with that schedule. I'm betting on Duke since Miami should be Senior Day. Ole Miss is the likely White Out/Family Weekend UVA could be the Hall of Fame game.

Looking back on some articles from the time period we know that Ken Whisenhunt was interviewed (possibly as a courtesy interview as a former alum). It appears that the other main contenders at the time were Collins, Scott Satterfield (who ended up at L'ville) and Tony Elliot (now at UVA). This...

GT has won one road game in each of the last 3 seasons, so i'm going to think we win one road game again. I also expect it to be a close win as the 3 wins are 4 pts at Duke, 3 pts at FSU and overtime at Miami. IMO if GT is going to get to 6 wins it likely needs to be 4-3 after the UVA game as...

Collins was the 'big money' donors choice. They were the ones that wanted to move away from the 3O and were the ones providing the money to make the hire we made. The big boosters may oust TStan eventually, but if they do it is largely to cover for their own complicity with the hire of the...

I think Forensics is totally correct about one thing and that is the genie is out of the bottle and its not going back in. So you have to start thinking about how you make it work for college programs - not just the ones at the top. The NCAA isn't really going to do anything, they have already...

It's not Ole Miss that would be throwing any money at him. It would be fans of Ole Miss who have created an NIL. They have to operate independently from the school. Schools are not allowed to pay players (or have NIL's)- private individuals now are. Ivey also reportedly has an offer from Miami...

This is a great article on the organizations being created due to the NIL. The only ROI they are looking at is how much confetti it can produce. It's interesting that some states, like AL, are already rescinding their NIL laws because they are more restrictive than what many are doing and they...
