This is kinda contrary to my usual position, but I think there's value to going all in on proven recruiters. Since it sounds like we will not have the schematic advantage we had with CPJ, we need to clearly win the Jimmy/Joe fight with other Coastal teams. If Tee Martin -- or someone similarly connected and respected -- can swing 2-3 elite kids who fit Tech, and make our "brand" "cool" without getting us into late-Hewitt trouble, then I am for it. I do not expect us to meaningfully compete with Clemson or UGA in the next couple years, but if we can establish a "unique" brand (even if somewhat at the expense of a "unique" scheme) then we will be well positioned once the capital raise starts to show results in years 3-5.
Also, I'm willing to give Tee a pass on USC's offense this year. In the two years before, they beat most of the teams where they had a decided talent edge except for that wild game at Wazzu. Losing to Stanford, OSU, Notre Dame, Bama and even a close one at Utah is not acceptable but (as a UCLA grad) pretty par for Trojan course. In the same vein, starting a QB who should be in high school is a terrible idea, but the kind of terrible idea that USC has a long history of going all in on. Obviously it would be better to get Kingsbury or someone else with both schematic and recruiting expertise, but I am intrigued.
