[QUOTE="TromboneJacket, post: 858426, member: 2580"] Pretty good write up for the most part. The one thing I have to disagree with you on is your analysis of the 2019 class. Recruiting is not an easy task, and a big component of it is relationships. Collins was hired and started recruiting for Tech in December of 2018, close to the early signing period. Good OL are a hot commodity, and Tech is not the easiest school to recruit for. Collins had very little time to decide on which players he liked, which ones of those might be willing to come to Tech, and then convincing them to do so. And that’s for every single position, not just OL. Not to mention that Brent Key was the last hire we announced. For the guys he wanted (without the input of the guy who was responsible for that position group), Collins would have likely had to flip guys from other schools and get them to commit to a staff that hadn’t even named their position coach yet. That’s a real tough sell. I don’t blame CPJ for not recruiting to someone else’s preferences, but it’s not fair to blame Collins either for not working miracles at the eleventh hour on the recruiting trail. Truth be told, I actually think the OL has been improving each year, and they were good enough for us to win more than 3 games last year, but the defense held us back (and there’s no excuse for that).
