[QUOTE="Techster, post: 480014, member: 360"] The thing you fail to recognize is that teams are constantly in flux. Maryland made the top 20 (2017 #18) one year, Michigan State made it in 2016 (#17). Can GT make the top 20 every 5 years? ABSOLUTELY without question. It's not like making the top 20 requires a class full of 4/5 star players. On average, the #20 ranked class averaged about 7 4 stars per class. You don't think GT can close on 7 4 stars each class? IF the defense AND the offense carry their own weight, it should not be hard for GT to close on that many 4 stars. Unfortunately, with system we have on offense, we can pretty much eliminate any 4 stars coming to GT to play offense. I think we average about 1 4 star on offense every 4 years. Georgia is a top 4 state in producing NFL talent, and top 4 state in producing college players.
