[QUOTE="jojatk, post: 522080, member: 2627"] Here's my uneducated guess about what's going to happen. The new coaching staff will review film on every player. They will talk amongst themselves about which ones fit right where they are and which ones would be better in different positions. For the offensive skill position players this may also amount to finding the right position for the kids whose position won't exist anymore. I would further guess that they will have conversations with each player about where they see them in the new systems on offense and defense. I am sure some of those conversations will also be with kids who may think they are going to be starters that our new coaches don't feel will be starters and similarly some will be with kids who didn't think they would be starters that our new coaches think WILL be starters. And I'd also be willing to be there will be some players who will come forward and suggest position changes themselves because they'll see opportunities with the change. And some will not want to stay at GT and will decide to transfer. Some of those conversations will probably see the kid asking the coaches what they think the kid should do, especially in situations where the kid isn't likely to get playing time here but could get playing time elsewhere and the answer might be that if the kid wants playing time and isn't going to get it here then it might be best for him to transfer (and that would be his choice completely). It's possible there will be some upperclassmen who will feel they no longer want to play given all the changes and will finish their degrees at GT. I also imagine there will be some conversations with upperclassmen that the coaches feel aren't going to be in the 2-3 deep where the coaches tell the players that they don't see them in the mix and some of them might choose to leave and some might choose to stay and complete their GT degrees. And I think all of them will have the option to stay and earn a GT degree if that's what they choose, even if they aren't going to get any playing time. And that's as it should be. And I expect nothing less from GT (and I believe that's exactly what GT will do). Does anyone really expect anything different? Does anyone think that GT will not honor the scholarship of every kid on the team that wants to stay? [/QUOTE]
