3 temple players drafted

Temple 3 Tech 0. Coach Collins gonna get some Tech players drafted again!

I’m not sure what’s the point of this. I hope CGC gets GT to winning more football games than we have been cause that’s what I care about. Gailey got players drafted all the time and most of us rejoiced when he was canned.

 

[DvilleJacket]

You don't think having pro players on your team makes a difference????

 

[sidewalkGTfan]

I think that CGC will ultimately be judged by wins and losses just like all of his predecessors, not how many guys he puts in the league. There’s plenty of bad to average teams that put guys in the NFL.

 

[DvilleJacket]

I totally agree the wins and losses will define coach Collins career. Having guys drafted from a program is important to recruits as well.

Such a shame that the number has fallen to only 11.

Putting players in the NFL is important for recruiting and program prestige. Who doesn't get a sense of pride seeing Calvin Johnson back on the flats?

Teams with future pros also win more. CPJ wasn't an exception to that, either. The 2009 and 2014 teams had a bunch of guys drafted. Last two years? None. And it showed in wins and losses.

I agree that the talent level will go up. But in fairness, Geoff Collins didn't recruit those Temple players.

Chan put guys in the league and he could hardly break the 7 win mark. UNC consistently puts guys in the league and they have stunk the past couple of years. Tennessee says hello as well.

Make no mistake about it, I hope we put a bunch of guys in the league but that doesn’t automatically equate to having a really good college team.

GT and Agnes Scott have had the same number of football players drafted over the past two years.

Fair to say getting players drafted doesn't guarantee wins, but not getting any guarantees mediocrity is your ceiling, not your floor. Lets develop players for the pros and win a lot, too.

He recruited Sinn from Presbyterian.

That's ironic.

This is absolutely true.

The better coaches know how to maximize the level of talent on hand. The mediocre coaches don’t.

I can tell you what not having quality talent and/or development will do.

Yea, but he did coach them...and he did recruit a couple of those cats who got drafted outta UF this year, so...

 

[tech_wreck47]

Carpenter, Thomas, Tre Swilling, Camp, Davis (TE Transfer) are all guys who could be drafted in the next two years. Campbell, Bruce Swilling, Southers are others who could as well.

Wasnt Collins only at Temple for two years? If so unless tbe kids left early be did not recruit them. Just sayin'.

He got Rock as a transfer. He developed all of them, though. Give him partial credit. Temple's best recruits are probably low 3 stars, anyway, under any coach.
