[QUOTE="Techster, post: 39111, member: 360"] Sorry, but not to be nasty, but that's just excuse making for our staff's average to below average recruiting. Our past staff, Chan Gailey of all people, has proven he can sign those few elite guys that GT needs to compliment the role players and diamond in the roughs. I think our staff can coach the heck out of the talent they have, but they're not exactly working with a lot of top shelf talent. Part of it is half of the recruiting pool (the offensive players) don't want to come here because of the offense. GT does have limited course offerings, but we have course offerings that are among the most popular majors for all college students (Business, humanities, science). Anyone who follows recruiting knows there are atleast 25-30 top tier kids in GA alone who have the academic credentials to do well on and off the field, and GT hasn't been able to sign many of them the past 5 years. If GT can sign just 10% of those kids (3+), on each side we would do well...see the 2009 team which we had 4 very special guys on offense and 2 very special guys on defense. Sorry, but history shows us that elite level kids DO want to come to GT...maybe not in bunches like the 2007 class or factory schools, but more than what we're getting now. [/QUOTE]
