Myles Sims Committed (Michigan transfer)

[Deleted member 2897]

Lol ****tin me. Pretty interesting how DB play plummeted when Coach Kelly left.

Front 7 has nothing to do with 7yd cushions and bailing to 15 in disguise of faux catch technique

On your behalf, I submit to you Ted Roof's 4th and 6 defense, which consists of 8 guys being BEYOND the line to beat when the QB throws the ball. But hey, great swarming to the ball Roof!

Also, note how at the hike how 7 of the guys immediately take off backwards. INCLUDING THE SAFETIES, who are almost 10 yards BEYOND the line to beat.

Hell fire there were times I wished we would have only given them a 7 yard cushion.

Is that poor DB play or poor coaching?

247 Composite as a recruit:

Class of 2018
4* 0.9312 ranking
#170 national, #17 CB national, #22 overall in Georgia
Red-shirted 2018 at Michigan

Just curious. How can you be a 4* star, #17 in the nation DB, but only #22 in Georgia? 21 better than a four star?

#22 for ALL position players in GA. #17 in the nation is comparing to ONLY with other CB's.

And we wonder why Daniel Jones went 6th overall.

Both cases coaching and players are on display right here @knoxjacket

I would say more on the play call even though our LB didn't cover at all. 6 yards is not far enough to rush 3 only especially for GT's DL.

If there is not a six-figure transfer of money from Daniel Jones to Ted Roof for supplying scouts tape, its an injustice.

Going by the 247 composite rankings, Georgia had five 5* players and 35 4* players in 2018. The importance of recruiting our state and keeping players here is because it's one of the best places to recruit talent in America, every year.

I should probably stop now, as I am not 100% sure what you are saying in the original post, obviously.

But, I would think that the 21 in GA ahead of this young man were rated as either 5 star players OR higher 4 star players. Does that answer your question?

Reread what I said.

There are 31 players in Georgia 4-star or higher in the 2020 class:

There were 37 players in Georgia 4-star or higher in the 2019 class:

There were 44 players in Georgia 4-star or higher in the 2018 class:

The disappointing thing is allegedly DB is the one defensive position we have recruited well prior to last year.

yep.
it seems odd that our "best" position in depth continues to get the best players,-- gimmee a big DL, pleez

 

[takethepoints]

Between Clayton, Sims and Ezzard plus Davis.. we've had a heck of an offseason with transfers.

Looks like it. We'll see how that works out. All of these young men struggled to see the field at their original schools, but they'll have years to do that at Tech. It'll be up to them, of course.

Michigan is a great university. Academics would not be an issue transfering from there.

Neither has it been for a few from bama, auburn, miami, uf, vandy, a gagger, ole piss.

A coach once said "they have to be attracted to you as well."

CGC accepts that making GT attractive to the recruits is a big part of his job.

Going to be fun watching this staff recruit with more than a few months under there belts here.

You don’t recruit a student not to play. If the staff didn’t think there was a need, would they have taken him?

Collins has a reputation as a DB sensei. I’m guessing he thinks he can make this young man into a lock down corner.

This was my thought as well. This position group, more than any other, will be interesting for me to watch develop. He seems to have a clear history of picking / developing studs there. Here is to hoping it continues as a HC here for us!

True, but athletes also have to make progress to their degree, so even coming from great places it might be hard if their major was not offered here or they were behind on a math requirement, etc.

I'm not too alarmed. It's a spot where a lot of bodies are going to rotate. So even if it's a recruiting highlight, having 5 players better than everywhere else on the team means we're still rotating others in the game who aren't. We're also playing a different kind of coverage approach, so there may be some CBs on the team who are good but not a good fit for press coverage. We also have guys who have more hybrid type positions and will fit in various roles as what we'll call nickel now. Beyond that, these kinds of athletes are really useful on special teams.
