It’s been clear our roster needed significant upgrading. Hard to tell if we accomplished that. The three that signed with P5 programs all had graduated from GT. Totally understandable why they my want something different.
OL I believe.
I am more interested in how the individual players feel versus how any of us feel about it. If their goal is to go somewhere they can play and they accomplish that goal then good for them. I’m happy for most of them that they get something they wanted that they could not at GT and don’t have to sit out a year in order to do it.
How so? That’s an honest question. I don’t know what you mean.
I don't think anyone is leaving for a payday really. The guys ending up at other P5 programs all graduated and were solid contributors but not superstars.
Sure. It’s their decision to make where they play college ball. The only thing that truly matters is for them to get where they want to be.
I re-read my response to you and realized it sounded kind of judgy and I apologize for that. I truly did not mean it to come off that way.
Yeah I think you're right about that in this cycle. I meant that more as my attitude in general towards that practice.
Not a problem. I was just recalling how improved our recruiting was said to be the past few years. Transfers are kind of the ultimate retrospective on that, it seems to me.
I am very interested in having a plan to keep the few that could help in future.
Completely agree that the coaches have to plan on how to keep the ones they want in the room. This year it was pretty clear there was a plan on how to keep the ones they felt strongly needed to be kept from leaving. I would love to have the problem that we have so many talented guys all over the field that we need a lot more money to keep them. Hopefully as we do get more players who contribute on the field we will see enough additional NIL investment.
Hey guys. I can tell you this about Knight..he LOVES TECH,the problem was 1. Thacker had his favorite's on the field(even when they had nothing left in the tank) 2. When Key took over he told Knight he’d “ONLY” play special teams. Not sure why Thacker didn’t play him which hurt his chances with impressing Key, but it worked out for him as you can see. He will always and forever be a YELLOW JACKET. NO LOVE LOST. Congrats on the bowl win also. (He would have probably come back if offered).
He is a great kid! Always seemed willing to do whatever he could to help the team by shifting positions. I hate that it didn't work out for him here but I continue to root for him to succeed!
Thank you. He will definitely appreciate the support.
I was praying he’d come back, I think he would have a chance to start right away. Good luck to that freak athlete! I got to watch him play in highschool some- an absolute menace.
