Here’s the other interesting thing to me gents: Reading through the recruiting threads we so often see, “really like this kid”, “really excited..”, “would be a huge get” etc sort of comments. And then we get the kids. Then we add up the stars (or whatever), and we end up like 51 or whatever...

Holy Pearson-Correlation-Coefficient Batman! That’s some amazingly consistent data. It’s almost as if to achieve X recruiting ranking you simply outlay Y budget dollars. Better get your wallets out boys...the offering plate is a-comin’! o_O The problem with one-variable analysis here is that...

Yeah, that’s frightening stuff if this is the state of affairs. I’ll try to watch the whole bit if I can stomach it. Thanks for sharing- Also, no — for me, I would have GT take the high road every day to whatever end.

Yeah I saw that and it was very interesting. But I suppose it hits the principle that correlation != causation. And maybe that’s the word I should have used. As has been debated in this thread, and across threads probably since inception of this forum there are unique variables involved here...

Kick this kid to the curb. And anybody around him that supports this. And God bless his soul.

It’s a weird logical argument I know, but Timbuktu doesn’t sit around to be sought, but rather Timbuktu seeks to identify itself. It doesn’t take that much effort with social networking to expand regions. Certainly not the $$$ bantered about today as if it’s free money. No, this is all a...

We see what you did there

Nah, end of the day the “recruiting budget” has nothing to do with it. For Clemson, either. You can’t pay these kids, and there’s far too many intangibles to pin to another $$$$ the kids never sees. The Budget argument as a primary motivator needs to cease, without otherwise proper correlation.

This is true. I remember Donnie Davis name, but couldn’t tell you a thing about him. Getting to memorable (like Joe Ham?) definitely takes more than one move./

I think the horse is us. MSU and Moorhead connection has been talked up already. Not much, if any, about Tech though. Coming here would be statement, with capital “S”, by Fields if he’s interested in being a perhaps a transcendental player in GT history.

I thought I’d heard that CPJ and Coach Smart had mutual respect (or we might have been stomped 69-21 this year?). If so, an active attempt to poach Fields would set a tone for years to come. That said, if CKS knows that Fields will not be his QB next couple years then I would hope he would let...

I think there’s a huge difference between Southern/Sun Belt and ACC/SEC for one. I also think there’s a difference in taking over a weak program and building it vs taking over status quo of successful area program secondly. That said, I don’t know what CGC will earn, but it hits me wrong...

Sorry to keep kicking this horse, y’all. But Satterfield seems to me a classic example of compensation overreach. Dude was making 750k or so at App St. *why* give him $3.35-5M?? Sure the guy may be great, but he’s unproven. Make him prove it then pay him. Otherwise it’s much like hiring a...

This is a critical point too. The HC doesn’t work in vacuum. Or, a parallel: you think maybe Matt Ryan could live on 20M/yr instead of 30/yr so that the team might get him better OL? The disparity between players is ridiculous for supposed ultimate team game.

Exactly this. It’s ridiculous to keep giving inflated contracts, which have far exceeded (understatement of the day here) real world rates, with no ties to performance. And then if the guy sucks tied to many millions more. An athletic assoc is just a nameless, faceless governing body. The...

The insanity of college football economics — and amateur entertainment at that — is way past ridiculous. And I am neither socialist nor liberal. Also: NBA contracts for even mediocre players.

This may be a great opportunity to expand to our recruiting exposure to wolves and pike (y) (n)

Respectfully, and with all due respect: imagine if a kid hears the tune, then the kid finds the tune, and the kid hears the words, then talks the words, then believes the words, and lives the words. IS this not serious? ( Or, do words of McConaughey in ‘Time To Kill’ apply: now imagine it’s a...

The question is what happens if we lose the next two games (which is at least a possibility) and wind up 7-6...

Oh good. I thought I heard N-word and was sad. Glad it’s nothing serious though. :stop:
