[QUOTE="dressedcheeseside, post: 208809, member: 77"] I wish we had more guys with top 15 offers, too. But where you and I differ is in assessing our recruiting position. You keep mentioning "no excuse." I wonder where you draw the line between legitimate hurdles and excuses. Are they one in the same? Is there no such thing as a legitimate hurdle? Here's something else that bugs me about your assessment. When you look back at Gailey's classes, you give him huge props for finding and developing diamonds in the rough. But when CPJ signs 2 stars, and many of them very early in the recruiting season, you say we're settling for low hanging fruit. You can't have it both ways. I know it's easier to look at Gailey's record of finding the diamonds because those guys have played through their careers already and the proof is in the pudding. But I think it is unfair to condemn CPJ's recruits based on their lack of offers alone. Wait and see if they develop and contribute before you label them "low hanging fruit." If your criticism was more based on you evaluation of their film, I'd be more inclined to see your point. But history has shown that there is a ton of talent that falls through the cracks every year for multiple reasons. GT is in the unfortunate position of having to rely on finding it and developing it. Not the entire class, but a certain portion of it. I think the portion we have now is about right for GT and it's recruiting position. Triple our budget and maybe I'd be less inclined to accept the current ratio. [/QUOTE]
