[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 526230, member: 1640"] Perhaps this is redundant but here it goes. Tech is a different kind of place to try to recruit for. I think most of us get that. In the past, arguments on this site were often between those who were tired of Tech's low recruiting rankings and those who explained, with valid reasons, why expectations needed to be realistic. Sometimes these arguments crystallized around Paul Johnson -those who saw him as somehow holding the program back in his recruiting efforts and those who pointed out his tireless efforts to reform the culture so that Tech had the kind of resources our rivals have when it comes to recruiting. We don't have to re-fight that argument anymore. Instead we can run an experiment. Hire a coach with the kind of rah rah unrealistic hype that Dabo Sweeney first brought to Clemson. Have an AD who is finally willing to invest real money in the infrastructure, personnel and PR that a successful recruiting program needs. Last but not least, mix in the kind of inordinate fan optimism that Uga has exhibited for the last fifty years. The worst that can happen is that we learn a few more data points on what it takes to recruit at a unique school like Tech and we go back to the drawing board and try another approach. But the other possibility is, well, breathtaking. I vote for a slightly quickened pulse rate for Tech fans. [/QUOTE]
