[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 922886, member: 265"] And, btw, I disagree with the premise of the article strongly. Tech needs to recruit nationally. True, most players will still come from Georgia. But we need to recruit all over the place, even internationally. (Remember where Gotsis came from? OZ.) That's why there needs to be more money for recruiting. We need to id players in Georgia and Florida first, then look in Tennessee and South Carolina. Then in New York and New Jersey. Then in Texas. Then OZ and Europe. I'm mentioning here the places where Tech has gotten some really good players over the last decade, albeit mostly under Paul. The one thing I liked was the coach who said Tech needed to find recruits who could develop into good D1 players. I couldn't agree more, but there's a prior problem. We have to have a program that knows what it wants to do with the players before we recruit and develop them. This was Collin's worst fault; he recruited rankings and didn't have a clear role for the players once they got to campus. That meant we didn't have a clear idea of how to develop them either. This has to [I]stop now[/I] if we are to see recruiting bear fruit. [/QUOTE]
