[QUOTE="Techster, post: 680904, member: 360"] Hence the "for a long time". It's crazy, because GT had Donnie Davis the #2 overall QB and #1 Dual Threat QB in the nation, and he who shall not be named completely wasted him. Davis was Deshaun Watson before Deshaun Watson. When Davis finally got to play under Friedgen (who he signed up for), he had a pretty good season considering he had to play a year at WR in a different offense. What could have been with Friedgen and Davis for 4 years. Gailey also had Sean Renfree committed before getting fired and Renfree went to Duke because he obviously was not going to fit in CPJ's offense. Renfree would have had Demaryius Thomas and DJ Donley to throw in addition to several other WRs that were gifted, TE Colin Peek who had a great career at 'Bama but transferred, and of course Dwyer at RB. Renfree ended up having a decent backup career in the NFL. Gailey of course recruited Nesbitt, but I think Nesbitt would have eventually moved to DB and given way to Renfree. Gailey ended up signing Nesbitt at DB when he coached the Bills. Nesbitt was a high level safety in High School and Tony Barnhart once commented that Nesbitt was one of the best DBs he got to see on the HS level. One thing is for sure, GT does well with dual threat QBs...and has been destination for top level dual threats (don't forget Quincy Carter was signed with us before opting for pro baseball then going to UGA). Lot of "what ifs" involved. Would have been interesting to see who GT could have signed had CPJ did not come here as GA experienced an explosion of talented QBs during CPJ's tenure, but none of the QBs wanted to play in in the flex option.
