[QUOTE="Boaty1, post: 505062, member: 2631"] As you know, finding good data on pre 2002 recruiting classes is much more difficult. Here is a link to a thread talking about historical rankings of GT classes that says Joe Terranova had us ranked 19th in 99 which matches my memory of that class. This was just after the time I started following recruiting extensively. [URL]https://247sports.com/college/georgia-tech/Board/104174/Contents/Source-for-Historical-recruiting-rankings-72623191/[/URL] Here is Tom Lemming's class ranking for 2000. You will see we are ranked 12th in the nation here. 3 spots above UGA.
