[QUOTE="Techster, post: 202209, member: 360"] You miss my original point. At what point did Stanford become "Stanford"? Look at their football history in the 90's and early 2000's. It's OK...fairly mediocre to awful. Definitely not contending for conference and national titles like GT was during that period From 1991-2008, they went to 6 bowl games, with a Rose Bowl Appearance in that term under Tyrone Willingham. They had a few nice classes, but GT was by far the better recruiting school. Cue Jim Harbaugh in 2007, and Stanford is now "Stanford". David Shaw has taken what Harbaugh built and improved upon it. Point being, you get the right guy in, and he can take a school to a higher level. If you look at Stanford's recruiting, it's not like they're cleaning house with the "scholar athletes". They do exactly what GT has been known for doing in the past and in the present: A majority of their guys are 3 stars who fit their system, and they supplement them with the "star" guys. Stanford basically took the GT model and did it better than us. So when you say all those smart SAs all want to go to Stanford, that's simply not true. Recruiting has proven to be regional. Sure there are guys who will bolt to the farthest part of the country to get away, but the vast majority of recruits stay within a 4-6 hour drive. That's especially the case in the Southeast. News flash: Stanford is on the opposite side of the country as GT...and they can only sign so many players. How about GT get in on some of the others? GT is VERY capable of getting to a higher level...our national title and consistent appearances in the ACC championship game tells you the potential of this program. CPJ has had 3 ACC title appearances with classes ranked at the bottom of the ACC recruiting rankings. We've been one of the most consisten ACC programs until this year. Imagine if our recruiting were to improve to the middle of the pack in the ACC. That's why I think this program has the potential to be an annual top 25 program with a special top 10 season every 3-4 years. [/QUOTE]
