Paul Johnson has done an excellent job at Georgia Tech and his recruiting classes have been trending in the right direction lately. However, it is not unreasonable to expect the head coach of a consistent and successful ACC school to be able to pull in more than one blue chip player from his own state over the course of five seasons -- particularly when his state has one of the richest football cultures in the nation. It is quickly becoming commonplace for Georgia’s top athletes to leave home in favor of greener pastures, but it doesn’t seem like much is being done to ease the bleeding. This isn’t to say that Tech hasn’t performed well over the past few seasons, but rather that the program’s true ceiling cannot and will not be reached until the staff can effectively protect and recruit its own backyard. We’ve felt it so far in the form of depleted depth and lack of talent at key positions and will continue to feel it more in the future as rivals like Clemson take talent from the Atlanta area and use it to their own advantage. Paws off, Dabo.
