[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 675979, member: 265"] As to why Yates wasn't offered by other "P5" programs: he made it clear right from the first that he was going to go to Tech and wasn't interested in other offers after he committed. This [I]does[/I] happen, you know. If a young man wants to go somewhere and the coaches have shown faith in him before he lit up the sky, they very often stick. And, of course, there are coaches out there who are fixated on height.* As to his talent: he's every bit as good as anyone on our roster. Watch his senior year film. Then remember that his squad wasn't playing the Little Sisters of the Poor. He incinerated some very good football teams on the way to, you know, winning the 7A state championship and being named POY. Does that mean he starts over Graham? Maybe so, maybe not. I do think that with Graham and Yates back Gleason and Sims will redshirt next year. But all that will be on the table in the spring. * We'll never know now, but did anyone watch the Army - Navy game this year? If you did you might have been surprised to see both teams line up in a straight shotgun about half the time. Further, when they did get into the regular spread option flex, it was usually with one AB split out. (Mind, they weren't throwing the ball all over the field; they were running from the shotgun and very effectively too.) My guess = Paul would have done that if he had decided to stay and that was one reason he went so hard after Yates. Well, that and that he was another Ricky Dobbs. [/QUOTE]
