[QUOTE="JacketFan137, post: 922490, member: 5973"] the first part just flat out isn’t true and the second part was something collins did emphasize. very early on he mentioned something about how we actually gave players an opportunity to get a “meaningful” degree. it was enough to piss off the dogs at least lol the calvin johnson thing was only really big for the 21 recruiting class cause he wore 21 and collins tried to (unsuccessfully) play into that. he made mention of the other guys and if anything i feel like by nature of the increased social media presence we did see more love for the other pro jackets than i ever did before i think your heart is in the right place here but it’s very difficult to sell that we have a “georgia tech community” when we only fill our stadium with the opposing teams fans and can’t even get close to filling it up after firing collins. we have a very loyal fanbase but it’s so small i don’t know how you sell that in any way to kids with aspirations of playing in big time sec esque environments. schools like south carolina who aren’t even much better than us the last 20 years have no problem filling their stadium and we can’t for the most part kids will want to get to a place that they can get playing time, can get them to the nfl, play under good coaches and have NIL opportunities. a nice degree is a plus for sure but i think many kids are too foolishly lead into believing they are nfl bound to care about that. our recruiting future is almost entirely determined by who we hire as OC and how much money we generate for the NIL fund and from there how much we win/play football in a style kids want to be a part of.
