How many do you flunk? Two or more will cost you your job. Good luck because I like your moxie, but in the end, there's the bottom line, huh?

Wrong again. Never experienced anything like that with our kids.

I would put them near the cash register so people could see them better. But I major in civil engineering not marketing so I could be wrong.

Interesting to have underclassmen on the poster. Usually you see seniors. Who is the big dude up front?

That's Jahaziel Lee. These are the posters they were giving out at the Spring Game.

I wonder who our uniform supplier is, I can’t find a logo anywhere?

I don't flunk any. If they flunk, they do it on there own, and I provide all the help I can to help them be successful.

Morpheus is a master at Photoshop is all I can say. This poster surpassed by far the logo count on the business card. We may not win a lot of ball games but damn well everybody will know who our supplier is.

their own. You must teach an out of norm class then, because the National stats are pathetic, especially in the Southeast.

Not gonna get in an argument about why he's doing what he's doing, but for a staff trying to change the perception of GT with recruits, and since GT and "Russell" have been synonymous for decades, it stands to reason that GT would promote one of our a partnership with one of the "coolest" brands right now. BTW, not sure if you're caught up with pop culture, but Adidas is THE hottest sportswear brand at the moment:

It's not about promoting Adidas as much as it's about promoting GT athletics. Being partners with one of the biggest and "hottest" sportswear brands is nothing but good for GT.

He's a troll, a bitter one too. Very odd duck.

I get it. It’s just funny, imo, the overkill.

I have some of the highest of the high and the lowest of the low. I teach in rural NC. We average 70% free and reduced lunch, and 75% with no college background in THEIR family (I do know the difference, just got in a hurry). What we do doesn't work for everyone, but we do have a lot who do well that probably would not in a more normal setting.

You are a breath of fresh air.

I'm glad you are teaching them. Thank you for caring.

CPJ had 2 major failings- he could not recruit & he believed he’d get the same disciplined kids with the same dedication to team like at the Academy but they’d be better athletes at GT. I believe he whiffed on both accounts more often than not.

Secondly, there’s a fine line between abuse & discipline. If you don’t know the difference either on the hard *** side or the sympathetic side, you’ve got big problems raising kids. A lot of people believe that in the military for instance you run around yelling & screaming all day. If that was your military experience you probably served in one hell of a crappy underperforming unit.

Disagree with you on part one. It was not that CPJ could not recruit, I think he over estimated how well he could recruit D1 in the southeast based on his experience at Southern. He rally needed a nationwide recruiting effort like ND to get the players he needed.....I think he shot himself in the foot trying to compete too locally and was hamstrung by a lack of budget. As other schools ramped up, Tech stayed in neutral and got passed by.

CPJ decided to run the program in the fashion he decided to run it given the resources he was given. If he chose to focus on GA/FL, etc and recruiting suffered because of it, well at some point he should have realized he needed to do something different and get that in place.

I liked a lot of things about CPJ’s tenure, but effectiveness in recruiting was not one of them and the numbers don’t lie.
