[QUOTE="Techster, post: 39015, member: 360"] Dude, you're so spot on with all of that. GT does have the ability to attract high tier talent...it's been done under every coach. No, we haven't done it in bunches like UGA or other factory schools, but we got enough elite talent to compete with the factory schools that we were competitive with them. I pointed this out in another thread, but GT has always been a destination for some of the top dual threat QBs (and non dual threat QBs) in the Southeast. GT use to also be considered the top destination for elite talent that UGA didn't want (see Nesbitt...wanted him at safety, Dwyer...wanted Caleb King more, Morgan Burnett...no clue what they were thinking, etc.). We also had the ability to attract high tier talent outside of the Southeast as well. For all this talk about APR and rigorous course loads, we're seeing top tier talent leaving the state and take just as rigourous a courseload elsewhere (Vaughters at Stanford, Josh Dobbs at UT, Tuitt at Notre Dame). I also agree that if GT starts running an offense similar to Baylor, Oregon, Auburn, or Ohio State, some of the top tier offensive talent in the state would line up to come here. QBs want to throw the ball, and WRs want to catch the ball...and they want to do it in offenses that showcase their talent for the NFL. That's why guys like Nesbitt, Dwyer, Calvin Johnson, Demaryius Thomas, etc. came here to play under Gailey even though he never won more than 7 games outside of 2006. The state of Georgia has been churning out top tier QB, WR, and RB talent the past 5 years...and GT just hasn't been able to capitalize on it. Kids just don't want to play in our offense...that's just the flat out truth. Our most prolific offensive players under CPJ have flat out said if CPJ was the coach, they probably would not have chosen GT. CPJ is a successful coach because of his system, but he also has to make a choice of whether he wants prove to the world his system can be succesfull (it can as evidence with top tier talent in 2008 and 2009) or if he wants to adapt his offense to attract all the top tier talent GT's home state is churning out that's heading to other schools. As DaBuzz said, and I wholeheartedly agree, GT may never be a consistent top 10 team, but we should be consistently in the top 25. It's been done in the O'Leary era, and in 2008 and 2009. GT has too much too offer, and GT's home state talent is too plentiful for settling at barely breaking .500 every year.
