All I read was, "You definitely have to look into the depth chart ...."

Pretty reasonable advice, nice find.

I hope the GT recruits for 2017 look into the depth chart for 2019, the year they most likely would start their significant PT.

What do people want him to say?? I was not going to beat out anyone at GT and I really want an opportunity to start, so I transferred!!! I mean good thing he is going to Colorado.... Good stuff..

I like advice..

Hopefully we recruit team players and they embrace competition and put in the required work so they have a chance to compete... I do not want any recruit that is only committing to us based on a proposed depth chart two years from now... Those type of players usually will not put in the "work" required to compete for spots and those are teams that do not win usually. #notmytypeofrecuits

I have said before, why would you go to a school at a position, where the guy in front of you is all conference with two or more years remaining.

I think everyone missed the biggest thing he said. Go to a place that you would love to live and that you would enjoy if football was not part of the equation. Tech is hard on students and football is hard of students athletes. This a very mature thought process on his part. Look I hated Tech when I was there but I enjoyed the city and the people there. If you don't like the people or the city, you will not like Tech because you will not like the academics, especially with a full time job like football. People wonder why it is hard to recruit...well there you go. I think his quotes show a mature side of the kid. BUT being mature doesn't mean I would hire him. I do like people that put themselves in difficult and uncomfortable situations, to make themselves better. Saying that...I think I like Dante a little more today, as I think he was giving younger people some sound advice. Just my 2 cents.

Fwiw, he ends by saying "two main factors in my recruiting process."

It's not clear that he's talking about why he left Tech or why he went there in the first place.

Will was listed as 5th string LT when he got to GT. Depth chart... Compete or transfer. I guess that is what kids do today.

All you are ever guaranteed is a chance to compete and that's the way it should be. You can be worried about who is currently ahead of you on the depth chart before you arrive, how you compare with current year recruits or what new stud recruits come in next year and leapfrog you. Making decisions on those factors are always a roll of the dice. Other factors like having the major you want, the quality of the education, having a coach and team you believe in etc. are to me far more important. Find a place where you would love to go to school and compete.

Life is too short to go to a college for ~4 years that you don't like. GT isn't for everyone almost by institutional (tic) practice.

I wish Dante the best. He came and contributed and now it's time to move elsewhere.

I'm glad we don't do cheesy crap like promise first carries etc. to players... i think it was Tommy Bowden's last year at Clemson, they opened up with Auburn in the Chik fil a game, and they gave their first carry of the game to a highly regarded frosh who fumbled it away.

I am surprised at the "competition" part. He seemed like he had the ability--but not the will.
