[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 877021, member: 1776"] This look at the team wasn't really about where the team is now compared to where the team was 3 years ago, 5 years ago, etc. It was simply about where it appears to be now overall and in comparison only to the previous year. IMO this program clearly needs upgrades in both players and coaches if it wants to have any chance of success. I think it has made some improvements in both areas, but whether they are enough to create significant improvement is still an open question and we'll get some sense of answers this year. One interesting note is that Collins recruiting strategy has clearly shifted the last 2 years. For the classes of 2021 and 2022 he has brought in 31 HS recruits and 25 transfers. I believe he is making the correct assumption that you are more likely to get contributions quicker from young men who have been in college 1-5 yrs than young men coming in from HS. The part to watch is that most of the transfers he is bringing in haven't contributed much at a college level and to this point GT has only had success with transfers who were significant contributors at their previous schools (especially in year 1 at GT). Our OL and DL coaches have huge tasks ahead of them this season and the success of the team may rest of them more than anyone else. On both lines we are relying heavily on guys with limited college experience and/or production. We need them to be better than who we lost (which were frankly mostly avg to below avg in the ACC) and whether they will be we simply won't know until we play games. [/QUOTE]
