I honestly don't get lists like this who the **** considers Miami and Florida but also FSU, Nebraska and GT right now?

He’s obviously planning on taking his five officials and these would be them. I doubt he’s truly considering all five. More than likely he has a teammate or teammate’s that have an offer from GT, Nebraska... and they’re going together. Fwiw
This GT staff does a great job of getting kids on campus.

Because if you know anything about college football, you know that Collins stepped into a pile of dog**** and is building something back from the ground up, but is a **** of a coach and has a **** of a staff working for him who recruit like maniacs and get their noses involved everywhere. The elite kids have better options, but the next tier, some will see that staff in a positive light and the education value there is very good as well.

GT is doing some stuff. They are creating a streetwear brand with Adidas using their logo. They are pushing the narrative that they are Atlanta's team, trying to do what we did down in Miami vs UF/FSU. I think Collins is a good coach. He has a HUGE task ahead of him rebuilding a roster built for the triple option. If football doesn't work out, that dude could go start a marketing firm and kill it.

Yes sir, being a coach is much more than x and o. He gets it and why I said what I did.

So your saying the kid should want to go to a school that's building their team up but doesn't have a chance in **** at a NC.

OK I guess so

Much more to recruiting than just winning brother. I've lived it. Why does a top local kid from a few years ago at one of those schools with a chance want to come back to Miami?

Why did CJ Spiller go to Clemson before they had a chance to win over UF with Urb? How did Zook build that program by going 8-4 every year and never having a chance, yet had studs lining up year after year? Dude could recruit.

One more example, why did Clowney and Lattimore go to South Carolina knowing they had no chance to win?

Listen if there are top flight kids that want to go to a school that has zero and I mean zero chance at winning a NC then more power to them. But if you actually think GT is going to be built into a NC contender like ever then you need to get examined immediately.

I hate this new trend of recruits mashing up everyone’s jersey in their picture of their top 3/5/10/20 schools

but with that said, it looks like we have the most real estate in that picture - the right half of the jersey and the right glove. I think we appear to be the favorites

Yes I'm the internet tough guy. You need to grow up and I've been around UM as a doner and season ticket holder since 78 so yeah I guess you got me beat.

Well, considering I've been around since 83, attended my first game in 87 as a little guy, sat in the West by the LOD during Notre Dame 89, had the stands collapse on me when I was 8 during KW Punt return vs Penn St in same seat, I am not as old as you, but played the game, was recruited by over 35 schools, had Chuck Pagano, Butch Davis, Steve Spurrier, George O'Leary, John Cooper, Mark Richt, and others in my living room, I can assure you top players go to schools where they feel most comfortable, and they think they can be the difference, making a team a contender. Right now, there are 3 contenders every year, and that is it. UGA is not, because of coaching. LSU was an outlier with the best team of last 20 years since our Canes and USC of the early 2000 days.

Not saying you are right or wrong, I am just saying there is more to it than just winning. Why is Corey Foreman, the best DE prospect since Myles Garrett going to USC? Why did Garrett to to Tx AM? Why did Kayvon go to Oregon? That is recent, why is a high high recruit who went SEC from our yard coming back in Jan through the portal? Winning is the biggest draw in recruiting, no doubt, but there are plenty of other factors.

Our talent is lacking in some key spots, no doubt, but our coaching and development ******* SUCKS.

I don't think we're really arguing here. All I'm saying if a kid picks a GT or a Wake forrest or a Pitt for example it's with them realizing they will never play for an NC. IF a high 4 to 5 star kid wants to do that then more power to them But when someone says "oh but this coach is really building something at a school like GT" it makes me chuckle.

And when asking why some of these really high rated kids picks schools that are not NC caliber I think you know one of the reasons is the bag game. Since you were recruited you should be well aware of this.

Happy New Year and GO CANES!!
