[QUOTE="SOWEGA Jacket, post: 750774, member: 4334"] Where did I say Collins would get players that the factories wanted? I said we could be an alternative for those high level players who weren’t the first choice for the factories (like Gibbs). Did you not read my post? I agree with what you are saying but my main point is that the minute GT hired Johnson in 2008 we were no longer even an option for many in state studs and our player pool shrank from the Gailey years. Would Calvin, Dwyer, or Gibbs sign with a Johnson Coached GT? The answer is clearly no because he never got that caliber of player to sign. Every kid in middle and high school knows one thing about GT football - Paul Johnson and the option. I was talking about the season with a friend who is the typical sports fan the other day. Talking about our 1-2 record he said “I guess the option isn’t working too well this year”. When I reminded him we have a different coach in year 2 he said, “ oh yeah, thats right”. Point being - our reputation is still the option because that was the media narrative for over a decade. As Collins continues to foster the relationships with high school coaches our player pool will continue to increase. How many offensive players have we gotten out of south Georgia lately? Graham, Mills, Zenon, and maybe a few others. It’s because the coaches would steer players away from the option. I talk to these folks and any high ceiling kid would be pushed away from GT due to the system. That has changed now and Collins is a hustler. Give him time and Gibbs and Sims won’t be the last recruiting battles we win. I definitely see Collins getting multiple 4 stars each year. This year sucks because of no in person recruiting, but high school players see what we are running and see what Gibbs and Sims bring to the new GT. And the response has been positive. [/QUOTE]
