[QUOTE="Madison Grant, post: 514785, member: 823"] I agree with most of this, but I don't think CPJ was a 'poor recruiter' as much as his system limited him, and because of his system he was looking for different recruits. Remember the 4 star OT from Gainesville we had when CPJ was hired. He was perfect for a pass-blocking heavy scheme, but he struggled at the option style of blocking. Considering the arguments made by college and high school coaches to recruits that you'll never get into the NFL because of the totally different techniques and skills the option offense prizes, CPJ recruited over that better and better every year. Actually, Andy McCollum is a HELL of a recruiter, and I'm excited to see what he can do if CGC keeps him on. But our offense kept CPJ from really capitalizing on the onfield success he had by following those years up with top recruiting classes. The year we went 11-3 and won the Orange Bowl, we had one of his better rated classes but didn't sign a single 4 or 5 star difference maker type. Also, I think we need to seek donors to increase our funding, but I don't think we need the money that Virginia Tech or Louisville throw at it because of our location. Our coach can drive up the street and see a whole bunch of D1 prospects. If you're in Blacksburg, you're going to be putting in some miles in the sky. [/QUOTE]
