Neither was a 5 star in high school.
Why don't you just run away from home!

How often did Gailey's offense average more than 25 passes a game?

A large part of GT's offense in 2006 and 2007 was Tashard Choice

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

Actually 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.

Calvin was not a 5-star. Not sure why, but he wasn't

Was there even a star system in college football recruiting when Robert Lavette signed with GT out of Cartersville in 1981?

Yup, if colleges knew you would be a star, you got bags of $$$ delivered to your house.

Yes. There were several. But they could only be found on reruns of Star Trek.

Thomas was a 5 star!

If you mean Bey Bey, no, he wasn't either.

Well, since he wasn't recruited as a DB, that's sort of moot, IF TRUE

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."
There is no mention at all of him even playing DB, much less being rated 5-star at that position.

You may be correct, but what I posted doesn't even indicate that Bama recruited him.
