Don't see how the financials would ever work with Gus. 7 million per year and 30 million buyout. Those Auburn boosters must be desperate for this to even become a rumor. lol

I was quoting Rivals. The Brice kid at Clemson was one on there also. Don't recall the other. I'm one of the few on here that believe we can be what Stanford has been. Clemson is like USC in the Leinart/Bush days. We can't be that, but we could give them a tough run like Stanford under Harbaugh/Shaw.

I went back over the last decade to 2008. Per 247, here are the other 4-star or higher QBs from Georgia:
1. Deshaun Watson (Clemson)
2. Brice Ramsey (Georgia)
3. Josh Dobbs (Tennessee)
4. Anthony Jennings (LSU)
5. Greyson Lambert (UVA-Transferred to UGA)
6. Blake Sims (Alabama)
7. Zach Mettenberger (Georgia).

So that's 15 in a decade. Of those 15, 12 went to factories. While none of those guys seem to be as good as Trevor Lawrence, Tech will still have to beat out Alabama, LSU, Clemson, Georgia, and Tennessee to get QBs.

Of the three that did not go to factories (Pass, Lambert, and I'll give you Mills at Stanford), Pass looks like a bust, Lambert was a bust, and Mills is buried on the depth chart at Stanford behind at least one QB that is the same class as him.

Just noting that it's possible that Tech runs a passing offense and doesn't get a 4-star or higher QB for a decade due to competition from factories.

Calvin Johnson should have been a five star. Someone in his mold might be our first. A 5 star from Georgia, with a burning desire for a top shelf degree and desire to stay close to home. I wonder how many of those are out there... Hmmm...

Good question. And speaking of questions, has Calvin gotten his top shelf degree yet?

It's possible we do. Doesn't have to be a kid from Georgia. I believe the glass is half full.

I'm not sure if he has yet or not, but I believe the quotes from him are that his mother wanted him to get a great degree so that IF football didn't work out, he was still in good shape. You question begs the question: Did his football career work out for him?

I believe Collins would have us in trouble with the NCAA

Trouble with the NCAA is about like having your name taken by a hall monitor back in the day for chewing gum in school. The NCAA has done nothing about academic scandals at UNC, nothing about boats and hos at the U and nothing about bagmen along with blatant paying of recruits by Alabama, UGA, and the Mississippi schools among others. If Collins did get us in trouble with the NCAA it would indicate that he is trying to reverse years of mediocrity in recruiting. More power to him.
