Fall Camp News

The way I see it is that nothing we've seen from this staff ensures better performance, but without what we've seen from them the desired better performance is very unlikely. I'll take what I can get!

except it is a mostly rebuilt staff. That being said, we are way too dependant on transfers which is not the way to build teams...particularly OL and DL.

We need as many play makers as possible to have any success this year. The more the better to force the D to play more one on one match ups.

In football, we are in the "feeder transfer" trap. Our best players will move up to higher ranked programs to feed their teams.

The new face of college sports. Love it or leave it. I have one foot out the door some days for college football, somedays two.

At least in baseball, we are a highly ranked program and get transfers in with more talent (better stats) than we lose.

It hasn't been in the past, but it's a brave new world. I think it'll take 5-10 years to see just how the new transfer system is going to affect development moving forward. Ideally, we should only be relying on individual players for major contributions for 3 years, 1 year on special teams and 2 years as older players. Unfortunately, we've had to rely on younger players to step in and contribute immediately either due to lack of talent or lack of depth.

Yep. That's why I love that picture of Linus and Lucy. The look on Linus's face....he knows he shouldn't do it. I mean, he's not stupid and he's seen this movie before. But...the possibility that maybe, just maybe, he'll get to kick it this time has him thinking "What can go wrong?"

LINUS and Lucy???
Lord help us! Man if we can't even get the name of the central character of Peanuts right, it's a bad omen.

Wait .... that's GT baseball. No one should be falling for it in football. 100% "prove it" to me at this point.

sims is apparently having a great camp. the reports are making the wait for the season to start so much harder

Having a great camp would be a understatement. Sims is possibly having the best camp possible. Week 1 can’t come soon enough.

good. i don’t see a path to winning 6 games without him being the driving force. the qb room is much improved but he’s the only one i think has the skill set to be a game changer right now. i think pyron needs a year or 2

Not to be too negative but we heard this last yr AND he is showing-out vs our DEF which has potential to be no better than last yr.-a sobering thought.

Why do you say that? We have 4 OL line transfers. 2 have 3 more years of eligibility and 2 have all 4 years.

So Gibbs moved to a higher ranked program. Any other facts to support your view? What about the 4 stars we got from Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Notre Dame.....

This board is such a negative place.

Are we back to the old adage about Fall Camp where “if your QB looks great in practice, you have a terrible defense, and if the defense looks good then you have no talent on offense”?

(When we DO get better, it has to start SOMEWHERE)

true definitely something that is possible lol but i do think the fact that high praise is coming when a new offense is being installed is certainly a good sign

Do tell. I only get info from typical online outlets but all they ever say is just "throwing a great ball" "made a few good reads" etc. Anything more specific to add?

Yup https://247sports.com/Season/2022-Football/TransferPortal/?institutionkey=24011

Other than Gibbs, there was Ivey, Domineck, Walker, Lockhart, Yates and others. We needed them for continuity and development and depth.

We got no 247 Sports 4 stars. And lost none, other than Gibbs.

Lesser teams lose players to better teams. These guys want to get to the NFL and find the best route for themselves to get there. I'm fine with that since they should do what's best for themselves. It's the way of the NCAA money sports now.

"... an oft-asked question of the preseason – which freshmen will play and not be redshirted? – Moore is a leading candidate to contribute on the field this season."

Observations from Georgia Tech’s eighth football practice of 2022 preseason

After a Saturday-morning scrimmage, Georgia Tech returned to the practice field Monday morning in helmets, shoulder pads and shorts in a slight reprieve from full-contact work.
