[QUOTE="Whiskey_Clear, post: 375875, member: 735"] [USER=265]@takethepoints[/USER] The downside to increasing the number of academic exceptions is more drop outs. Which makes balancing classes that much more difficult and robs other players of more reps / experience. [USER=1097]@Jacket in Dairyland[/USER] On one hand you assert we are too thin at OL/DL (I happen to agree but I think it's improving) but then you also assert we sign too many players there but lose them for a myriad of reasons. That doesn't really compute to me. Your other assertions about teaching / coaching assignments and lack of quality of same...Id be interested to hear how you draw that conclusion without attending practices. With regard to stars.... Elite recruits stand out to everyone. Coaches, services, everyone. Where stars fail to tell the story is in the difference between a "low 4 star" and "high 3 star". The difference is very negligible and based mostly on pure speculation imo. You say the major power programs get the most stars and have the most success. Ok I agree. But I also very often see those programs sign a 3 star who the next day, without playing a game or attending an additional camp, get jumped up to 4 stars. Conversely we sign a 4 star, and the next day he's downgraded to a 3, once again without having played an additional game or attending an additional camp. This is fairly brilliant of the services in many ways imo. It's also complete garbage with regards to any actual evaluation of those individual players and why many fans (quite a few Tech fans anyway) disregard the services and with cause. Our starting lineup is fairly competitive with most teams. Our starting Oline is top notch imo. But the OL has lacked experienced depth. The Dline, particularly DTs, has improved a lot in talent and depth. They just don't compare to elite Dlines like Clemson and still lack a good rush from the edge. Special teams are too much of a mixed bag but a lot of this was due to some deficiencies in place kicking and adequate kickoffs. [/QUOTE]
