[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 38085, member: 322"] Towards NSD we talked about the number of commits we would be able to take this year. 21 commits for GT this year was a lot of commits for us. When you look at the number of commits for a four year period (2011-2014), we had the third least commits at 74. This was the third least with only Northwestern (72) and Stanford (73) having fewer. For the four years of 2010-2013, we had the fewest at 71. A few observations. [LIST] [*]It is a distinct benefit to have more recruits since they don't always work out, even 4 or 5 star recruits. When you recruit 1/3 more players (UGAg 99 to GT 74), you have a much better chance of having the kids who work out on the field. [*]The best academic schools in general have fewer recruits. Probably because the kids go to these schools for the right reasons - academics - and stay in school. In addition to GT, NW and Stanford, Duke has a low number of recruits and so does BC. (UGAg has a high number since Richt has recruited those who go on to commit crimes and leave the team.) [*]CPJ should continue to be commended for honoring his scholarship commitments. His recruiting practices result in lower numbers of commits and puts us at a disadvantage, but it's the right thing to do. Hopefully, this is used in the recruits living rooms when talking to the kids parents and the kids. 5 years at GT is worth the investment for the next 50 that they will be working. [*]I got around to updating my Scout recruiting and JHowell Power Ranking database and will be posting a few other things. The pdf of just the 4 year average of recruit numbers is attached.
