[QUOTE="GTJason, post: 9393, member: 94"] Some kids are worth waiting for and some aren't. We usually know who we are getting on signing day. A commit will likely be a dumb--- and visit FSU or something and we'll drop him and bring in someone waiting on a scholarship. You gotta see it from those "lower" tier kids' perspective too. How many have gotten tired and committed to Elon (or wherever - not picking on schools) instead of waiting on someone like GT to have a spot open? The only people in this game holding all of the cards are the top tier kids (i.e. if a Leonard Fournette or some other guy at the top of his position came to CPJ in May and said coach I want to be a Yellow Jacket, we'll make a spot for him - likely most schools would) In my opinion we should hold one or 2 scholarships if we have a realistic chance at a top target. I don't mind gambling a little, sometimes we get burned like with Corn Elder but that's the game we play. I assume, while this thread is posing a broader question, Myles Autry is kind of who we are talking about. He's a special case in that we know his family. Mama loves us, big brother is going to be a star once his knee gets better and Myles has all of the makings of a star. Some people may think it's a mistake waiting on someone who might be a bust, but that's the case with any recruit. If he turns out to be a star we'll all look back and laugh, if not it's not unlike any other recruit that came to GT and didn't pan out. We all can agree CPJ is an excellent judge of talent, if he's willing to wait on Myles so am I. [/QUOTE]
