Was Ivey a really high 3*/ almost 4*? I ask because I don’t know, and if “just” a 3-star I don’t think I’d consider him one of the highest-rated Tech recruits in the modern era.

Per .247 composite he was our 27th highest rated recruit of all time. Post 2010 he’s one of the top 5-7 guys we’ve signed.Was Ivey a really high 3*/ almost 4*? I ask because I don’t know, and if “just” a 3-star I don’t think I’d consider him one of the highest-rated Tech recruits in the modern era.
yeah i think he can but honestly i don’t expect him to end up in a p5 school. the portal doesn’t always seem to have a guaranteed way out to a better team
Hearing several rumors that some schools in MS are bidding for him - I mean the NIL way. The rumor is Ole Miss or Jackson St.
I am telling you - GT boosters better get ready to ante up, or we are going to stay insignificant in CB for the foreseeable future.
I understand your OP point, but do we think he even has a "defined" program, other than catchphrases like effort, competition is king, etc.? I have never really fully understood his "program" definition. To me, he seems like a salesman without a well defined product. But, what do I know?The point of my OP was that Collins one achievement, recruiting the 2nd highest ranked Tech class ever. (2020) Has so far not paid dividends, and is a direct reflection that the lack of success on the field could be a direct result of his recruiting. Yes his class was higher, but were the recruits true fits for the program?
He was not a 3-tech.he’s a tough player to evaluate cause he was kind of in between an edge rusher and an interior guy. didn’t have the ability or the body to do either to the full extent but i do think he had a lot of potential.
this is extremely late in the cycle so i think something was said about playing time next year or an incoming transfer is lined up.
Last year he was a 6'-7" 277 lb DL.
Um, no, I couldn't. I think every starter was at least an average P5 player and many were above average. I think our performance had to do with how we performed as a team and how many of our "starters" were really 2nd or 3rd teamers. Those I listed are above average, in my opinion. Key injuries and coaching issues (which I think we've addressed) played a huge part in our record last year.FB,
They all could be contributors but just being a starter really only goes so far.If you are a starter on a 3-9 team exactly what does that mean? I think you can look at every starter last yr and say MANY were below average P5 players.
As many have commented, too early to throw the towel in yet. It may turn out that way or it may go the other way. No way to predict. Today's portal and the immediate playing time is going to change the way recruiting (HS and transfer) is going to be forever. Can't look at yesterday's class and say they're a bust. Have to look at classes overall (transfers in and transfers out) and assess them year over year.The point of my OP was that Collins one achievement, recruiting the 2nd highest ranked Tech class ever.

the portal is so big because how many great players would have likely dipped out of tech in the last 20 years. demaryius and calvin would have for sure been gone quickAs many have commented, too early to throw the towel in yet.

Thanks. I had checked Rivals, but not 247.
I thought gibbs was a big deal but since Ivey was my wife's favorite, within my family structure; this really sucks.Within the GT team structure, this is a Bigger loss than Gibbs imo

If cgc and guys do the next man up, I will be impressed. Maybe White will be healthy or lockhart can step up
Thanks - I ll get wife to watch him.Josh Robinson is solid but Ivey as an upperclassman for a defense trying to right the ship after being historically bad is massive
