    Spring Practice

    Based on early indications, we are going to recruit well. How well remains to be seen, but I do see us being top 3 in the coastal annually, maybe after this first year. We've been there pretty regularly, so when you say it just as I said it, it doesn't really sound like a step up... but I see...

    Spring Practice

    Not surprised to hear about Cooksey and Tukes moving. Neither was likely to see playing time on D... perhaps can at least give us some depth at TE and maybe get in the field a little there.

    retiring #90

    I think there's some historical precedent for this at other schools... I'd love to see GT consider retiring jersey #90 for big Brandon. Anyone else think this would be a good idea?

    recruiting classes and off topic posts

    I fully anticipate that our recruiting will see an uptick. How much is TBD. It took Dabo a few years to get it going at Clemson, it's not gonna happen overnight here.... but I do anticipate better recruiting results.

    BC at GT (-1)

    I felt like last night gave us a glimpse of what could be a pretty good team next year. Add Usher to the mix with Alvarado, Devoe, Wright, Moore, Haywood, Sjolund and maybe some others will take a step forward... we could have a pretty good middle of the pack ACC team next year. I feel like...

    GT signing day update ...

    That's fine, we don't have to agree. I think it's acceptable under certain conditions, as I described. If a kid isn't what you thought he'd be and isn't helping you on the field, you still have an obligation to him to help him get his degree. So no, I'm not OK with it in all circumstances. I...

    GT signing day update ...

    100%... with the assumption that the player has earned his degree while under scholarship. Under no circumstances should the coach leave a player 1 semester short of graduating... but I see the coach/school's responsibility to be to help that player get their degree. Once that requirement has...

    GT signing day update ...

    I know there are a lot of opinions on the subject of 'processing' a player... i.e. removing their scholarship between cycles to open up spots for another player. I dont' think it's right in their early years... but... if the player is in line to graduate and the school fulfills their commitment...

    GT signing day update ...

    On a micro scale, I don’t think they would really hurt for one kid being there for free. But in the macro sense, no, it couldn’t work.

    A note from the mods

    Where will RB's move?

    I hate to speculate on current players as it relates to transferring, but both would seem likely if they don't want to be around and not play. I don't really see a path to playing time for either, except possibly for Gantt in the slot. Time will tell.

    Recruiting.

    I really hope Collins ends up seeing GT as his Clemson, and wants to make it his own. Assuming the admin's can appropriately compensate him if he wins enough, I think that's a possibility.

    Where will RB's move?

    Here are my predictions: RB: Benson Howard Amerson Griffin (if he signs) **If Benson is not healthy, and/or we don't sign Griffin, I'd guess we'll see Mason at RB also. FB: Mason Malloy Slot WR: Cottrell Gantt Smith Ellison WR: Whatley Not Sure: Jarrett

    Where will RB's move?

    It's sort of unique to try to speculate this, but if we assumed for a moment that all of these kids were to stay and not transfer out, where would you project each of our scholarship RB's to play position wise next year? The most common places would be staying at RB, playing FB (likely for some...

    Recruiting.

    The concept of processing doesn't sit right with a lot of people... but there are a lot of layers to processing. Telling a player up front that they are unlikely to see the field or make the 2-deep and letting them have the decision is one thing... cutting a player, telling them they are losing...

    Recruiting.

    Technically they do have the 20 to 25 a year rule... but they allow you to count early enrolee's against last year's numbers, if there is space. They allow other tricks to let people oversign. They also don't really have much in the way of penalizing coaches for processing kids and not renewing...

    Roster Transition

    Tobias is an athlete. I am sure he can help us somewhere, whether it be at QB or WR.

    Scheduling

    When you're not a regular top 25 team, strength of schedule is not a bonus. It's holding us back from climbing the ladder perception wise. With perennial top 5 teams UGA and Clemson on the schedule, regular top 20 teams Miami and VT on the schedule, all of those every single year, and Notre...

    Wesley Wells

    He’d probably be the first kid to get one for the year, assuming one comes available... but I seriously don’t think the new staff will feel obligated to hold one for him. The kid is probably on Hope or something along those lines. There’s a lot we don’t know, and shouldn’t assume. I...

    Tourney

    I just hope we win enough to go to the NIT. I don’t see us going to the tourney this year.
