I agree 110% that we need to go national or even international (think Gotsis) big time. And you have to have the recruiting staff and budget to go national and do it well Hopefully CGC will have enough of those resources to excell Clearly CPJ did not have the resources and just started to get...

agree with Boomer 110%. A lot of you are splitting hairs here folks

If you have not been to BCJackets post on recruiting dollars please go read it. Should be required reading for all alums. Thanks BC for taking the time and effort to do it.

Interesting thought I had not considered this

No they ABSOLUTELY are well coached with some of the best talent in in college football. That is why they are 1 and 2 in the nation. I absolutely believe our new coach will recruit some higher level classes and move the talent level up. For no other reason he is getting more resources (still...

This in spades. Our coach has to get more from the players to win a major bowl compared to an FSU UGA etc. just a fact of life

I cannot agree more. Recruiting is just one piece of a successful system. And given our constraints we have to have a coach that coaches talent up and gets more out of our SAs than the factory schools we go up against do

And folks they are spending ~2X what we are spending. When Dabo took over we were much closer in our spend. Our AD cut our budget and Clemson’s doubled down. This has to change or Geoff will be constrained on what he can accomplish.

Yes, and most of those people run an organization into the ground. What many of us have been saying for years, we have to up the resources', especially for recruiting, if we are going to get to the 30-40 ranking range. I think it is totally doable, if the resources flow in this direction.

I cannot like your analysis enough. Send all recruiting neophytes over here to this thread. We should have it up all the time and update it when we can. This is great.

this is what a lot of us been saying with antidotal evidence. ever since 2008 we were getting farther and farther behind. I bet CPJ did not know this was going to happen when he took the job. No wonder he was pissed but really handled it pretty well. This is something that everyone at GT that...

This is great. Instead of nitpicking a couple of years or a couple of specific players this is data that makes a strong case for the constraints CPJ has been working with and what faces Geoff. We simply have to do more in getting more resources

And Gailey should have won big with OLearys talent. The”best recruiter in GT history” but Gailey did not. So if you think Gailey would have done anything more than 7-5 with that talent I see no evidence that would suggest that. Under Gailey we were like Fla State recently- totally under...

And recruiting is not enough either. Just look at Fla State, Miami, Texas, Southern Cal, etc. we will never out recruit these schools and if you think so your delusional. And I love the hire but will not expect him to recruit at that level. I will hope that he can coach up, get great return on...

Most offenses can’t

Ahhh you just ruined my day Mike. I like the hire of Geoff . I had not made that connection though. Here is to Geoff doing much better than Pepper

The reality of it being hard to recruit at GT even with a rah rah coach is setting in. Remember Pastner was supposed to be a great recruiter. I like the hire and will be behind him 110% We will see what he can do.

Only if it wins numerous Coastal championships and an Orange Bowl every once in awhile.

Not worried. Just sorry he did not get a couple of years to show what he can do. Since this last year was not great it may hurt him going to the next gig
