[QUOTE="Techster, post: 858945, member: 360"] My good friend who I played HS football with, and now coaches at a very prominent HS in Cobb County (they sent multiple players to GT, and countless other players to P5 schools...had THREE 5 star recruits at the same time one year) told me that when dealing with talent, you have to go by the rule of thirds. 1/3rd of players at a given position will be good and play at the level you need Day 1 (Ready made players), 1/3rd will need time to develop (developmental contributors), and 1/3rd will probably never contribute at a meaningful level (the strikeouts). At a school like GT, where development is key for our success, if we don't hit on recruits, and talent doesn't develop like we thought, it hurts us more because we don't recruit high level recruits (4 and 5 star players) at a high rate like the teams we aspire to become. This is a school that has to count on guys developing. By year 2 or 3, guys need to contribute at a meaningful level. If the guys we count on in first 1/3rd (Ready made players) second 1/3rd scenario (the developmental contributors) don't pan out, then we're looking at a 50% strikeout rate...which is crippling for a school like GT that doesn't have an assembly line of talent. One thing we have to work with is the transfer portal. Unfortunately, CGC has had guys we were counting on to contribute either get hurt, or just didnt develop to play at a high level. We really need to hit on more of the transfers. [/QUOTE]
