Less than 2% of all college football players make it to the NFL. There's more to recruiting than just a through ticket to the Pros.
Whether it affects us or not on the D side is for the recruits to say, but I have heard that other schools negative recruit our D prospects by saying our offense doesn't give them a good look against NFL concepts, and that our cut blocking puts them at risk during practices. Again, whether that plays a role in why some of the higher level D prospects don't come here is for them to say, but it is out there.
Well won an Orange Bowl with this Offense in 2014...We won an ACC title in 2009 with this offense..We went to another Orange Bowl with this offense and a Peach Bowl.And qualified high school S/As who also like to dream of the NFL automatically scratch us off due to the system we run.
We cut our own throats.
It's up to our coaches to debunk the myths, which they do, and play up our strengths, again, which they do. Not everybody wants to be a Tech man. Then again, not everyone is cut out to be one, either.Coaches are going to look for any advantage in recruiting they can find. If Tech fans don't think rival coaches aren't pointing out our Offensive Systems as a negative to HS recruits, they're only fooling themselves.
According to rivals, our avg star (3.15) beats Dukes (2.95). They outrank us because they have 21 commits to our 13. That's the only reason.We're currently near the bottom of the ACC in 2017 Recruiting Rankings

We should never lose to Duke. The whole 'commitment' argument fails with Duke - their facilities are horrible. Durham's a hellhole and Duke's not exactly Florida State in the classroom.
We gave up 3 ppd to a G5 team. The issue is not personnel.

And we have shown we can put WRs, RBs, OLs in the NFL. So scheme has not kept those who want to get there from getting thereThe "scheme" logic only applies to the O I think. Not to D or ST as there is not a unique "scheme" there.
And the O is a lot better than the D.
So I can't blame the O scheme impact on O recruiting for bad D performance. The D is where we cut our throats.
... so you're saying that the Jimmies and Joes matter . Not knocking any players on the team, but you are correct.
The horse has been beaten many times... academics being the #1 issue for GT compared to other P5 schools, etc.
True, but a lot of players think they will be that 2 percent.Less than 2% of all college football players make it to the NFL. There's more to recruiting than just a through ticket to the Pros.
Yea, it's a darn shame we can't have all those pro style players that Chan stock piled. Wait, it took Paul to unleash those beasts. You need to come up with a better line. This one is full of &$&$&.And qualified high school S/As who also like to dream of the NFL automatically scratch us off due to the system we run.

Do you agree that Duke should never out-recruit us in football?
