[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 56165, member: 198"] So often the '07 Class is held as a comparison for the current recruiting classes. The problem is that '07 only happened once. We've had good recruiting classes in the past, but never one like '07. I think we had 8-9 4* players 8-9 3* players and 2 2* players. I don't think that's ever happened at Tech before. Of those 8-9 4* guys, I know we lost several to transfer or other reasons (Willie White, D.J. Donley, Steven Threet) and some under-performed for 4* players (Jason Peters, Nick Claytor). On the flip side, I think Dwyer, Morgan and Burnett were probably 5* athletes. I believe that's a great benchmark to strive for, but we've also only won the MNC 4 times in 122 years. Let's strive for excellence in recruiting and let the chips fall where they may on the field. I think last year we got some 1-8 players. I think so far this year we've got more 1-8 players. I think Custis could have been as good as Dwyer by the end. I think some of these new guys coming in could be as good as DT was in college. Gotsis has played better than Peters did early on. I think we're better today than we were under Gailey's regime. I think the optimism for improvement is higher among the average fans and among the well-connected fans. I think there is a vocal minority (especially on boards) who don't see things getting better. I think the next 2-3 years will tell the story, and it won't be fully told before then. In my opinion, nothing changes at the top until after 2016, and only if things go south from here. [/QUOTE]
