[QUOTE="cuttysark, post: 271620, member: 1578"] The point CPJ was making about kids not waiting their turn to play is something that has accelerated today with the world of social media and "Stars Recruiting" that has folks who have no clue about football telling players they CAN'T get to the NFL by going to play at GT. Putting aside the fact very few kids go on to play in the NFL, I can't think of a player who transferred from Georgia Tech doing much of anything at another FBS program. Now before anyone starts to sing the praises of Vad Lee, he went to a lower level FCS school and had a nice career. But Not another FBS school or the NFL. Kids come to the Flats to earn a degree that will set them up for the rest of their lives. Why toss that away for some early PT at a lesser school? I'm seeing more and more examples of kids choosing to "Cut and Run" once they aren't named the starter before the ink dries on their letter of intent. Bama just had their prized 5 Stars QB recruit from California quit and transfer because he saw the other freshman QB and knew he would always be second fiddle. The QB who started the season as the starting QB for Bama's season opening opponent USC, also left after losing his starting job. That one is a real head scratcher since he is a redshirt junior and graduating in a few months. Give me a kid like Tevin Washington who made himself into a starter through sheer hard work. I'll take a few more Sean Bedfords who walked on and became an ALL ACC Center for two years. Those are the type of players who are the backbone of a program. As for the transfers: See Ya! [/QUOTE]
