[QUOTE="Techster, post: 516412, member: 360"] Sorry, but there are SO MANY things wrong and ill informed about your post. First, Jameis Winston was a valedictorian candidate in HS, and an academic All-ACC member at FSU. He was book smart, but a knucklehead socially off the field. BTW, we were Jameis's first college offer. Second, DeShaun Watson is probably the primary example of a recruit flat out saying that they didn't want to come to GT because of the offense. We offered him as a 9th grader, but never had a shot because of our offense. Also, Clemson wasn't "Clemson" when Watson was in HS...they just offered him the opportunity to play in the same offense and they were the first to offer him. Believe it or not, the type of system you run DOES mean something. Third, outside of Tua Tagovoiloa, all those QBs I names were all within a 1-3 hour drive of GT. I believe GT was closer to all the schools they ended up at. Fields and Watson were pretty much in GT's backyard. Recruiting budget isn't an issue there. I mean, kids flat out saying they don't want to play in this system, HS coaches flat out saying kids don't want to play in the system or practice against it....at some point you actually have to believe them.
