Uh, the biggest news coverage over the past year for Basketball has not been positive between the strippers, the impermissible benefits, and the whole Ron Bell ordeal. Pastner really isn't helping the image of the program.

I don't know about a statue but we should erect something if we beat a #1 ranked UGA in their own house. Pulling off something like that would be legendary in Tech lore and everyone here would remember that forever, way more than any 10-11 win seasons.

They are also very disciplined and don't shoot themselves in the foot with dumb penalties. Its one of the few things I do like about them and wish we could emulate. If we don't have any costly penalties, ejections, or bad snaps then I think we can wear them down and pull away in the second half.

Sure but we recruit from Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, and the Carolinas heavily where the GT name does have some weight behind it. I think bikeseat's point was that we are gassing it up to be a lot better than it really is. I'm not a business guy but from what I know from friends is that there...

I also forgot that we did all these improvements without the massive TV deal's of other conferences and having to pay out terrible contracts to basketball coaches. I get flamed whenever I say it, but Tech basketball has singlehandedly held the entire Athletic department back for the past decade.

^^^This is true for the college of science as well. I have worked all over the east coast in academic and private sectors and I can't count the number of people who haven't even heard of GT in my field. I remember someone asking me if it was a 2 year "Tech" school lol.

We graduate 3 LB (I'm counting Stinger as a LB position here) from the two deep so we might shuffle guys around as well for depth reasons and that might open up opportunities for him.

They're still trying to find the right spot for everyone like Charlie Thomas. Maybe he will find a spot to excel. Our ILB are not very good so I'm surprised he hasn't been able to make a move just based on his athleticism. Even if doesn't know the scheme he can't be worse than what we have now.

Speaking of S&C I just found out UGA's strength coach was an assistant S&C coach under Gailey.

I think you have to seperate "Team" and "Program". We have a much better program now just from an facilities standpoint. Indoor practice facility, new locker room, new lobby, and most importantly a vision and plan for the rest of the facilities. If you think fan apathy is bad now, it was 10x...

I think it goes into it in the article but our pitch includes internships at some of the biggest companies which are headquartered in Atlanta.

This article goes into how we pitch GT to recruits. It's quoting Jordan Woods who was a big time recruit out of Florida at the time but transferred after his Redshirt year because he was burried on the depth chart...

Key is a good position coach and recruiter but he only had one year as an OC and was a complete disaster.

I haven't watched Duke, how do they look this year? They have a better record, are coming off a BYE, and have outplayed us recently. I'm actually surprised they have it as a wash (home field being worth a FG).

I think Bobby can probably turn it around next season. If not, the program is dead in the water. They can't fire him and they cut off their biggest booster. They don't have the deep history of most other scholls or the geographic location to recruit without the momentum of winning seasons. If...

This game really showed what great OLine play can do for our offense. I could have rushed for 100 yards tonight the way they destroyed the DLine. Other than offense: Kicking game was great. Kickoff and coverage was OK, they need to clean up some stuff. Return unit was good except for...

I'll give you Devoe but Alvarado was a 3 star on the composite rankings and is a project player. Pastner has signed ~10 kids since he's been here and 1 is a 4 star.

Coach Pastner was brought in with his recruiting acumen being a major selling point. He even went as far as saying he didn't want to hire guys who play golf because it means they don't recruit hard enough (humorous hyperbole, I'm not sure). He's whiffed pretty hard since he's been here with...

Recruiting has changed a ton since the last century as well. The gap between us and other schools wasn't as big as it is now and the recruiting staffs you have to have now weren't around back then except maybe at the biggest programs.

If you aren't a blue blood you have to stand out in the marketplace somehow. If our pitch to recruits is that you can take the same classes you would at Auburn or Clemson I'm betting their response will be "why don't I just go there?". If I was getting the same education at GT that I would at...
