It's David Sims bday as well. Happy Bday to both you guys. How bout them Dawgs?

DCS, true he has done that occasionally. I liked how in that one Process video or maybe it was that AJC interview video? He broke down that play and mentioned that he threw to the wrong guy. He clearly does try and improve and learn so I tend to have shorter memories with those kinds of guys...

I wouldn't be surprised by 150+ receiving yards for the game, however, I have trouble seeing any one target dominating to the tune of 100+ of them. First, I think that Vad is better at checking down and not fixating on a primary target which will make 100+ yd games less frequent given our...

35-20 Tech win.

AE 87 . . . I am ok with being at say 83 after NSD. I am just uncertain of what the best way to get to that "number" is (whether it is 83-84-85). My thought is that saving a scholly for a signing day decision type kid, who is not a silent commit is harmful for the coach's chance to hit that...

GT Jason said "I assume, while this thread is posing a broader question, Myles Autry is kind of who we are talking about." That is true, the Myles discussion prompted my musings. But I am not concerned about him in particular as you can make a list of the Tomlinson's, Elder's, Tuitt's, Autry's...

So how about this scenario. You wait on 2 kids through signing day and meanwhile you get hit with 2 decommits in the final week. Now both those elite kids you waited on go to other schools and you are now 4 below the scholarship limit, plus you can expect by average natural attrition to lose...

I need help on this topic since holding scholarships to signing day means risking not hitting your number. By the way, sorry for the length of my posts to start threads. :( Since CPJ does not oversign, a stance I completely agree with as proper and ethical, then here is a strategy I may...

SkyBuzz, I am excited about Tech football this year as well. My point was really just matter-of-factual. I have just noticed that it seems to be the case in CPJ's own mind that maybe from this year on the rubber meets the road according to his own view of what it takes to have sustained...

Todd, you are just coming down hard on the cautious "fool me once, fool me twice" side of a fan's pregame psychology. I suspect you will watch the game with real jitters until a victory is beyond doubt. Others come down hard on the optimistic, confident "we got this" world-beaters side of fan...

Cuse, I agree although I am more reticent about reading CPJ's mind as regards what he will or won't mention as an excuse. I have been struck by his consistency of opinion myself. That is, when he got here he talked about redshirting as his desire and strategy and has consistently looked at...

SoCal, I agree with your conclusion that it will always be difficult for Tech to be ranked in the Top 25 in recruiting but not so much due to any given list of who is a factory and who is not that we can make. I think the rankings themselves reward any school/team that can either allow...

I have trouble seeing Bobinski firing CPJ after this season, his first on the job, unless the team has an epic collapse. So I would group this year plus next year as together being "make or break" for him.

Oh yeah I only answered my own question as to how I evaluate a coach at Tech's recruiting, i.e, by general feel such as last years class was "good but too small, missed our numbers by more than I like" while this years is "looking very good." As to my criteria for overall coach evaluation above...

ATL1, I think that your breakdown of around 20 recruits would definitely get Tech to at least top 35: Last years 26-35: Avg # of commits = 23.3 Avg # of 5-star = .4 Avg # of 4-star = 2.8 % of 4-5 stars per class = 14% And if we hit the higher side of your desire (all 3-star except four 4-star)...

Here is my last thread contribution. I have noticed that CPJ in his press conferences and in the preseason has repeatedly implied that he finally has the program into a shape that he has been intending since he got here. That is, he keeps pointing out that this is the first year he is happy...

My first thread suggested that evaluating the recruiting efforts of a Tech head football coach is a rather elliptical or impressionistic process given that we cannot just rely on where each class ranks in the recruiting sites rankings. If we were fans of a factory school it would be...

By the way, the fact that I am looking at this as "coach-neutral" does not mean it is a defense of CPJ. Rather, it is just neutral. It is like how he always says "go back and look" and you find that Tech has never had a Top-10 class. My look at it suggests that it is a coach-neutral fact...

Last years 21-25: Avg # of commits = 20.4 Avg # of 5-star = .4 Avg # of 4-star = 5.2 % of 4-5 stars per class = 27% I think I can somewhat go along with you on hoping to crack this group IJ7. But I would still say that this cannot be reasonably expected year after year given it probably...

IJ7, National Champions come from factory schools "year after year" is the logical point then right? Thus, for Tech to win a MNC would be an aberration. Which sounds right to me. That doesn't mean its impossible just that my expectations for it are not of the 3 in a row or 3 of 5 sort that a...
