[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 865218, member: 1776"] I think the idea that GT is ever going to get 5 star recruits is delusional. How many 5 star recruits has GT gotten in its history - I believe Calvin is the only one since the inception of modern recruiting? That tells you the answer. Just getting 4-5 4-star recruits consistently would be a huge upgrade. GT is not a factory school and never will be. It's alumni base it too small, it's curriculum is more narrow than others schools, it does not have a big non-alumni following (it's not the state school), it's budget is not large enough to compete consistently with the top schools. Also, living in a city with alot of other entertaiment options competing for dollars is a negative (how many strong college football programs do you see in big cities)? I guess i'm one of the pessimists that does not believe GT can compete for championships, barring a once in a generation type team. I'm also ok with that. I'd rather be a realist than have a delusional mindset that is always going to come up short. If there was anything in the last 25 years suggesting GT could compete at the top of the sport i'd think differently, but there really isn't. GT is currently a bottom quarter P5 job in one of the weaker P5 conferences. [/QUOTE]
