    Conference Realignment

    Alright, the season is over. Let’s look back. Michigan was above the ratio, but they “only” had two 5* players, and their classes were outside the top 10. https://247sports.com/article/blue-chip-ratio-2023-college-football-16-teams-who-can-actually-win-a-national-title-211217111/amp/ The list...

    Transfer Portal: Who do we need to target this offseason?

    Joint Enrollment is still the same as it was, and there are a lot of students who start that their Junior year. My son started AP his freshman year, and that’s taught by high school teachers with a test for college credit. It used to be that an advanced student would start with sophomore level...

    Conference Realignment

    Playoff champions have high recruiting rankings and a high blue chip ratio. Trying to be the team with a high blue chip ratio has cost a lot of teams a lot of dough, without getting them in the CFP. Texas (until this year), USC, Penn State—I think you could put together a good list. Does...

    Serious question

    Budenholzer left to coach a stronger NBA team.

    I wouldn’t expect him to be very involved

    Only off topic coversations!

    @yellowjacket144 there aren’t a ton of rumors right now. Some long time fans called contacts they had in the AA months ago and heard we were interviewing. Everything else is guessing—maybe decent guessing. Of the places that cover GT football, very little is being said. Kelly and Russell over...

    Transfer Portal: Who do we need to target this offseason?

    That puts him 10 minutes away from where his dad works. He will still play where his family can see him, and maybe get a shot for bigger things. I wish him the best (except against us)

    Conference Realignment

    It looks like you’re mixing “deserves it” (resume) and “who looks like the strongest team”. They overlap, and Oregon losing to Washington helps Washington and hurts Oregon. First, I’ve said clearly I’d pick the teams that earned it on the field—Washington, Michigan, FSU, and Texas. That’s what...

    1/9 - GT MBB vs Notre Dame

    1/9 - Tue, Jan 9 9:00 PM McCamish Pavilion 🤞 If we play a focused and disciplined game for the entire game, this should be a win.

    1/6 - MBB vs. Boston College

    I’ll make a small change. I’ll make it “GT MBB vs Notre Dame” and add in the GT. For those of you who believe in bad luck—someone created a second thread with the wrong title, which was merged in main thread From here on out, I’ll nuke threads with the wrong title to maintain our luck

    My way too early, possibly problematic look at potential GT Hoops roster management

    His dad isn’t just an alum, he’s hooked into AAU. It might not be a scholarship, but it seems like there are intangible reasons to have him on the roster

    It’s always a struggle, and it should be. Words of condolence are empty next to loss

    North Carolina Hires New DC - Geoff Collins

    I suspect the parameters of the contract had already been thought out for Whisenhunt. He’d have had that contract if the hiring process hadn’t blown up. He was a better fit in a lot of ways—“bring us NFL-style big boy football, and get rid of this high school offense”. When we interviewed...

    North Carolina Hires New DC - Geoff Collins

    Not TFP. Everyone was saying that. TStan wasn’t hoodwinked. People saw what happened at Ga Southern, where they brought in Van Gorder to get rid of Johnson’s flex option. Southern got rid of Van Gorder after one year, then Hatcher, then back to the flex option. The boosters and execs wanted to...

    North Carolina Hires New DC - Geoff Collins

    People keep talking about incompetence. Collins was the wrong coach. Stansbury wasn’t in a weak bargaining position. The contract was expensive on purpose. When Cortes prepared to fight Montezuma, he burned his ships so his soldiers couldn’t run away. They were committed to fight because they...

    North Carolina Hires New DC - Geoff Collins

    The big donors wanted to get away from option. They wanted to rip the bandaid off. They wanted a commitment to big time recruiting, pro style offense and defense, and being conventional. They wanted to be Michigan. They wanted to look just like a stereotypical SEC team. They wanted to look like...
