[QUOTE="Randy Carson, post: 907289, member: 766"] I wasn't sure I would post this (or where), but this is as good a time and place as any. Yesterday, I was talking with a former Wake Forest offensive lineman. Currently coaches at a high school. When I mentioned that I went to Tech and made reference to our woes and Wake's success under Dave Clawson, his reaction was interesting. Paraphrasing (and in no particular) order he said: [LIST=1] [*]He has tremendous respect for Georgia Tech and what it has accomplished. [*]He respected CPJ and acknowledged that preparing for the TO was very difficult for the defensive players. [*]He recognizes the challenges that small, academically challenging schools face. [*]He agrees that a unique offensive scheme is important for schools like Tech and Wake. [*]He hates the transfer portal and believes that it is a terrible thing for high school players because schools are now recruiting transfers instead of high schoolers. High school players are being told to go play for an FCS team for a year (Elon, App State, etc.), to hit the weights, etc. FBS coaches are more interested in transfers than high schoolers (unless they are 4-5 stars, of course). [*]He doesn't like the NIL and recounted a story of an NC player who was offered $1 Million to sign with the Buckeyes. That sounds REALLY high, but consider [URL='https://www.fayobserver.com/story/sports/high-school/2022/06/06/nc-high-school-sports-athletes-rankings-nil-potential-nchsaa-ncisaa/9967335002/']this article.[/URL] [/LIST] I'm proud of #1 and a firm believer in #4. Points 5 & 6 are things he knows first hand because he's talking with the college recruiters who are visiting his school and talking with his players. [/QUOTE]
