Top 100 Georgia Recruits

[Madison Grant]

Honest question, haven’t we had commitments drop because of missing academic requirements or not scoring well enough on SAT? I think it’s rare but I think I remember it happening.

It has been rumored, but I don't think any of them have been Georgia Top 100.

I actually agree. And did a good bit better than we have recently. But I don’t think he ever got a ton of super 50 guys. Please feel free to show otherwise.

Here’s a list of AJC Super 11 players through the years. By my count O’Leary’s class break down went like this...

96- 3
97- 2
98- 1
99- 2
00- 1
01- 2

And this is just the top 11 in state. One would think top 50 would be 3-5 times this amount.

Keep in mind whatever year it says would be the following years recruiting class.

There are 39 4 & 5 star players in the state of Ga according to Rivals this year. We offered 26 of them. Make of that what you will.

Tells me that, despite conventional CPJ “wisdom” we went after top recruits and didn’t in fact ignore them.

So you have no idea what percentage of the top 100 GOL offered, yet you spew that the number is incorrect.

Amateur!

So do you believe we have loosened our emission standards that much? You think we’ve gone from offering 20% to 70%? Does that seem reasonable to you?

Collins won't make every challenge suddenly go away. What he will do is not compound things and make them worse.

Huh

 

[Boaty1]

Huh

His offense won’t be repulsive to recruits.

I hope we have relaxed our emission standards, the Wreck is getting rather old. And, I could care less about global warming.

Regarding your post, I have no idea about the actual #, but I'm curious. I was certain that you must know since you refuted the other posters # as incorrect!

Lol. I just saw my mistake. Good one.

Gotcha

 

[lv20gt]

Huh

More than one thing can be holding recruiting back at a time. Just because academics were a restriction doesn't mean that Johnson also didn't make things harder with his choice in offense and handling of the media.

Yes it’s not enough. But when have we gotten more than 3 or 4?

Understood. But when have we had a great recruiter as HC?

Yes. And, if we can assume we only offer players who can get into Tech, that says that 26 of the 39 4* and 5* could have gotten in. Doesn’t mean they like our choice of majors, or that they want to work as hard as they’d have to here, but at least they were qualified. Is that right?

Darned auto-spell. Gets me every time, too.

I actually believe that is possible. I remember hearing when CPJ started he was given almost no room for grade risks. TStan seems to have given CPJ a lot more freedom. I believe the previous AD really limited CPJ and the program. I believe Collins has a better chance of getting the most out of TStans more lax approach.

Goes back to the AJC super 50 super 100 lists. In other words, before the services. Our trouble predates CPJ, CGC, CGO, CBL, CBR, CBC......

If CGC can change this significantly he’s the right guy.

This wasn’t a diss to Johnson, I understand it’s been going like this at GT, but I think we can change it.

I guess that depends on one’s definition of great. I wasn’t saying we had. What I said was O’Leary did better at it. The new guy has to prove he can.

One would assume so.

Time will tell. The coach who can change it will be in extremely high demand.

I’m probably wrong, but I have a hunch the President is finally on board the football train. CG kept mentioning him in the press conference. But, maybe I’m reading something that’s not there.

I think you are wrong, but time will tell. He doesn’t appear to be interested in much other than increasing the out of state percentage of the student population. Which has had a detrimental effect on the state of the athletic program, but that may be another conversation.
