Recruiting.

[RickStromFan]

He was obviously taking a shot at those who have downplayed prior stars garnered in classes and complained about some of our prior 2 star recruits and failure to get 4 star guys.

Pretty sure you weren’t making that comparison.

pretty sure he wasn't obviously taking the shot you described but whatever.

The latest 247 Crystal Balls have him projected to Us.

I just saw it 50/50 with us and NC State

The NC State ones are from awhile ago, all the ones done today are for GT.

None of us know what conversations the staff has had with the team but they have had one on one meetings. I assume if we over sign it is with good cause projecting our numbers next year. I’m fairly certain if this isn’t true and we start “processing” players there will be some fan backlash.

Like him or not, KQ has been pretty spot on lately. There will be attrition in the Spring and CGC is preparing for it. I'm not to speculate on who might leave, but it happens every year and will likely be greater with a new coaching staff.

It has nothing to do with liking anybody......I was a simple of question of what would happen if they oversigned and did not get the attrition they were projecting....what happens?

My question was simply what would happen if they did oversign and then their projections were wrong....what exactly happens then?

Would you consider encouraging players to move on who are to graduate in the Spring but have eligibility left "processing" players?

Well logic would dictate that someone gets processed.

What do you mean by “encourage?” If Tech, this staff of any other, ever starts pulling scholarships and tells them to take a hike...I’ll be taking a hike with them out the door.

I honestly don’t see that happening though.

Good question. Just wondering where the line would be that you'd consider it "processing".

Had to edit first response.

So if they're to graduate but are told they won't have a scholarship for their last year of eligibility (as a would be grad student), you'd consider that "processing" and out of bounds. Right?

The answer is their projections wont be wrong. CGC is confident in the number he can safely sign. If you aren't oversigning to account for attrition, you are undersigning, period.

Based on past history:
Every year we lose players from Spring to Fall.
It is heavier during a coaching change.
So I would say it is pretty safe bet to sign a minimum of plus five.

You need to be careful with absolutes
The question remains...what would happen should the program"projection" be wrong.....this isn't simply a coach decision..there are multiple parties involved.

So do u join whisky in DEMANDING that gt guarante a scholarship after a player graduates. ?

1. Other schools are year to year- if we think u can help us next year= here is your scholarship.

2 As I understand at gt we gave it =we think u can help us = here is enough scholarship time to get a degree. As it was before u enrolled once u graduate we will determine scholarship eligibility based on needs.


Like your thoughts on 2 please.
Tough question

GT should always be different for guys that have done the right stuff in the classroom and on the practice field. (and stayed out of trouble otherwise)

GT should be known for putting the "student" in the term student athlete FIRST. If a guy has eligibility left, and he desires to have that last year of football at GT, and he has done everything correctly, he should get it.

That is my opinion.

What happens if the sun doesn't rise tomorrow? You are asking an irrelevant question because you want a reason to be mad at the new coach even though he hasn't done anything yet.

There are transfers every year and we have RB's who aren't going to see the field now. Inconceivable that we wouldn't lose a couple. Then there are grades and medical issues. I bet we over sign and still have one or two left over. The alternative is how 3-9 seasons happen and you have been clear that that would be unacceptable.

 

[AlabamaBuzz]

That is a pretty cool 'copter. James Franklin did stuff like that at Vandy - he was there for 3 years.

Here is to hoping that CGC is around longer than that, if he has the success we all would like to see.

It is extremely good that someone is providing resources like these to make GT more attractive.
