Former staff should get a LOT of credit for working their tails off keeping together a class together even though none of them had any gaurantees of a job with GT under the new coach. (None ended up being retained).

Current staff should excite GT fans of the potential to come. They picked up the baton, then crossed the finish line with some REALLY nice pieces.

Really stoked to see what CGC and crew can do with a full year...a full two year...on into the future!

Before today .852 was rating of 2019 Class.

We were 11th in ACC and 55 nationally.

Finishing strong - like it.

Yes, I know - results on field are what matter.
Today I am MORE optimistic the BUZZ will be real.

I have high future recuiting requirements and now think they may do it!

Choice N Coleman (C N C ) are going to be money at recruiting.

They didn't just pick up the baton and close guys that were in the fold. They literally got nearly 10 brand new commitments from kids that had no desire to come here, including 2 4 star players. Nearly 50% of this class (if u include the transfers) was all CGC work in only a handful of weeks, including some studs.

As I understand, not one kid signed today even sniffed us prior to Geoff (even if we may have offered)....the work the new guys did cannot go under looked.

That is more than astounding in a transition year if you ask me.

unreal job considering everything.

Consistent theme coming from coaches. Size, Speed, Length. Need to bring more of that to the roster. Good start. Waiting for big uglies next year.

In TWO months. Really a month plus considering CGC was going at it alone at first.

Astounding indeed.

Lol huh? What are u even talking about. We need to emphasize what a great job these coaches did. Techster even agreed with my point. I guess we all read what we want to.

Its cool how much he is embracing atlanta and not avoiding being in a city. Selling it.

Selling our facilities are nice pumping up what we do have. Kids hear it and buy in. Look at lockhart.

Amazing. In two months I have seen a transformation that I thought not possible. 404 and Waffle House had no connection to Ga Tech prior to a young man coming home. Now we are a hat trick double winner on signing day! Can we MARKET (y) Can we RECRUIT(y) Can we COACH;)
