[QUOTE="SoCal_GT_Fan, post: 378254, member: 365"] My take is to always recruit from the inside out: So on the offensive side, Center/Guards, QB should be priorities. We have done a good job at the center/guard position in my opinion. Might not have quite the depth but I think we have a good starting lineup at center/guard where they are typically potential All-ACC team type players. QB position is definitely the most critical position on the offensive side as we saw this year. This is typical of any offense. Look at Texas. Since having Colt McCoy (their last good QB), they've been in the crapper and they have all the resources in the world compared to GT. I would always advocate recruiting 1-3 QBs every year and let them duke it out for the starting position. I think we need to play the numbers game where we try and bring in a good number of players to compete at that position and let the pieces fall in place. If they aren't starting, chances are, they'll transfer and/or switch positions. Like any other offense, it all starts with the QB and when that QB is making the correct reads, able to make the throws, and has great command of the huddle, great things happen. I think our RBs and WRs group is good enough to have a good/great season. Just need to get a QB to get the ball to them. Of course, having a stud WR like D-Thomas would help. On the defensive side, I think our weakness is at the tackle positions (again, recruit from the inside out).... But that's like almost every school that's not a factory. I guess as others have alluded to, need to have a specific defensive philosophy that is tailored to the recruits we are able to get. Be a bit more aggressive with our undersized DTs. Would like to get some more hurries/sacks with just our front 4 defensive linemen. Maybe we need to change our recruiting philosophy along the line. Bring in tweener LBs and bulk them up to become defensive ends. Don't know. I think we can always pay a visit to the Wisconsin's and TCU's of the world and see what they do that we can apply. How we can get the best out of what we have. Personally, I think our recruiting for the back-end of the defensive has been improving steadily and we have some underclassmen who are "athletes" back there that have the ability to play multiple positions.
