    The "Collins effect "........

    was one of the "articles" a column from Cunningham, whom I refuse to read anymore because he's as bad as any columnist they've ever had? (and that includes Mutt sniffer Bark Madly and Terence Moore, who actually is a very pleasant and affable person in person)

    Nate Woody . . .

    PJ could not care less what's being said on the internet or on talk radio. he can be a little thin-skinned when it comes to criticism but he doesn't base any of his decisions on what's being said digitally or on the airwaves.

    New O scheme position changes

    Benson, depending on how bounces back, should be a lock at running back. And then there are Howard, Mason and the aforementioned Malloy, who looked good in his brief appearances. That's a pretty deep and solid four right there, and then you bring in Touchdown Tony. I just don't see any of those...

    Nate Woody . . .

    If recruits ask a coach "how long are you going to be there?" you got to figure a potential coach hire might ask the same thing. So I figure PJ was up front with CNW about where he was at going into the offseason and preseason.

    Nate Woody . . .

    I like the move for Coach Woody's sake. Monken is a class act all the way around, as is his OC Brent Davis.

    It helps your D when your O is holding the ball for nearly 40 minutes a game. But Bateman is very highly thought of regardless.

    Juanyeh Thomas Is Fun To Watch

    Juanyeh had two KOR TDs and the 100 yard INT TD return this year. Would have another KOR TD if not the holding call on BJS in the Bowling Green game. He was seriously undervalued by the recruiting rankings.

    OC Hire

    You still need to have your OC do some recruiting. It is impossible for the HC to be everywhere. All your position coaches have to be out there - you can get away with giving them smaller geographical areas to recruit to lessen that burden, if you want to do that. In fact, I'm a little surprised...

    Roster Transition

    Something I looked up a few weeks ago — the number of 5 star recruits per school since 2014. Alabama, of course, led. By a lot. FSU was next (not that it's been reflected on the field. Then again, none of them were OL) Clemson was third. But you know who was third in ACC schools in number of 5...

    Roster Transition

    resources as in how much cash we can slip under the door of their uncle or next door neighbor for plausible deniability? (if you think there isn't a bidding war for these elite players, well ... the only difference between college football and college basketball is there aren't any dirty shoe...

    Does anyone have CPJ's Intro Press Conference?

    makes me wonder just how bad working with M Bob must have been. He seemed to have enjoyed working for D Rad and with T Stan.

    Surprising 92.9 the game quote

    um, we still need more exceptions to get those guys in. Remember, we got into trouble because of our recruiting under O'Leary. And our APR under Gailey was atrocious. PJ fought like hell to get more staff - which he finally got and won't get to use - and an upgrade in facilities - which again...

    Are you pleased with the hire (poll)

    even though the defense only practices against its own offensive scheme in spring and the first week or two of camp... In the past, during the season, PJ would have the No 1 go against the No 1 D but that was for short yardage and goal line stuff and only then for about a period a week, out of...

    that was the album version of PJ few people got to see.

    Roster Transition

    Maybe. But the number of 5 stars going to football programs noted for their academics is few and far between. If that's the case, getting to a program and a scheme that prepares you for the pros, why doesn't Duke, with Cutcliffe who coached up Peyton and Eli, have any 4 and 5 star recruits...

    Roster Transition

    True, but PJ, who brought his S&C guy from Southern to Navy, didn't bring him from Navy to Tech.

    He says that now. Let's see what we really look like come August against Clemson.

    Are you pleased with the hire (poll)

    I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. Collins' acumen as a recruiter is going to be helped by what PJ was able to get the last year or two - more staff and some desperately, long overdue upgrades to the locker room and players lounge. Most of us have no idea how bad the players lounge was...

    Surprising 92.9 the game quote

    Chuck Oliver doesn't know a damn thing. Recruiting at Tech is a different lamina. It just is. We're not getting factory kids. We're just not. This whole hooey about now that the option and PJ are about to be gone we can start getting 5 stars is just BS - and wishful thinking. Also, PJ didn't...

    Moving On

    during or after the use of leather helmets? comparing defensive numbers, and even offensive numbers, from now to anything more than 20 years old is difficult because the rules have opened up so much for offenses. Not as much as the NFL has, but defensive holding and pass interference seem to be...
