We didn't get one when we were throwing every down either.
Calvin? Bey Bey?, both came under a different system...

Why don't you just run away from home!yep and when your 2-minute offense consists of huddling and QB Keeper Scrambles, it's not terribly appealing to a WR.
How often did Gailey's offense average more than 25 passes a game?Calvin? Bey Bey?, both came under a different system...
A large part of GT's offense in 2006 and 2007 was Tashard ChoiceHow often did Gailey's offense average more than 25 passes a game?
Exactly! If teams can run, they do. The average NFL team throws more than 25 times per game (guesstimate). Ex-NFL players want an NFL offense. The problem is the only teams running an NFL offense are found in the NFL.A large part of GT's offense in 2006 and 2007 was Tashard Choice

Calvin was not a 5-star. Not sure why, but he wasn'tActually the only 5 star recruit GT has ever gotten was Calvin...and he was a WR, and he came under a different system. Bey Bey I'll give you wasn't a 5 star. But to my point, both who became very accomplished pro's came under a different system.
Was there even a star system in college football recruiting when Robert Lavette signed with GT out of Cartersville in 1981?Calvin was not a 5-star. Not sure why, but he wasn't

Bingo!Yup, if colleges knew you would be a star, you got bags of $$$ delivered to your house.
Thomas was a 5 star!Calvin was not a 5-star. Not sure why, but he wasn't
If you mean Bey Bey, no, he wasn't either.Thomas was a 5 star!
Well, since he wasn't recruited as a DB, that's sort of moot, IF TRUEThomas was a 5 star as a DB!!!
From an online summary: "Thomas attended West Laurens High School in Dexter, Georgia, where he was a three-sport star in basketball, football, and track. He played as a wide receiver for the Raiders football team under the direction of head coach Andrew Slome. As a junior in 2004, he recorded 32 receptions for 330 yards and three touchdowns. Thomas was named an all-region and all-Heart of Georgia player. The following season, he recorded 82 receptions for 1,234 yards and ten touchdowns. After the game, he participated in the North-South All-Star game. Thomas was again selected as an all-region and all-Heart of Georgia, and the Atlanta Journal Constitution named him to its Class AA all-state first team and PrepStar to its All-Region team. Scout.com assessed him as the 22nd-ranked college prospect in the state of Georgia, and Rivals.com rated him the 34th-ranked such prospect. He received scholarship offers from Duke, Georgia, and Georgia Tech."Thomas was a 5 star as a DB!!!
You may be correct, but what I posted doesn't even indicate that Bama recruited him.He was committed to Alabama as a DB. Thanks for the summary
