99.9% of those Players were recruited and signed with Tech because they didn’t have offers or a chance to play in this scheme at a P5 level. When Collins got here his 3 returning Quarterbacks weren’t recruited as Quarterbacks by anyone in the Power 5.
Shawn Jones wasn't recruited as a QB by any other school. Same for Joe Hamilton, Reggie Ball, Josh Nesbitt and Justin Thomas.
I thought Nesbitt was a pretty highly rated dual threat qb though.
I remember an interview where he stated everyone wanted him as a DB except for Tech...I could be mistaken but I am pretty sure thats was what he said.
I hate these types of comments. There's nothing productive coming from this comment.
My memory is different. I don't remember who else recruited him and at what positions, but I do remember him being one of the highest DT QBs in that class. It created some excitement about having a top notch DT QB running the option when CPJ was hired.
Totally random, but at first quick read, I saw this as Defensive Tackle Quarterback and it made me laugh. But a little true since getting hit by Nesbitt probably felt like getting hit by a DT.
I do remember gas being 26.8 cents per gallon and and everyone in High school drink Hop'n Gator beer . Would put a $1 of gas in the car drive around about 2 hours park at the Piggy Wiggly parking lot and drink our beer till they run us off. Damn I'm old.
Did y'all collect Green Stamps?
Justin Thomas was recruited to Alabama as a QB, until they got a commitment from a higher ranked QB.
mother did i didn't really miss those days . No cell phones did not worry about locking your doors only 3 channels on TV but didn't matter everyone was outside and if you wanting water you drink out of the garden hose and we lived to be old.
Remember when only the driver could not be drinking? Another passenger needed to hold his beer (N/A for Louisiana).
I had a Chevy Corvair. I would skip lunch one day. Buy a dollar's worth of gas and drive around for a week.
