Recruiting trail
according to TOS, we have over 100 offers out right now for our next class. Talk about a change in philosophy. To put that into perspective, we have about 20 or so spots to fill. Get 'er done, boys!

Just Win, Baby!
Do that with gusto and we will get the recruits we need.
Kids would MUCH rather sign with a team that wins, rather than a team that loses and whines about it.In the past GT football has often been JUST GOOD ENOUGH TO BREAK YOUR HEART!
I believe we are on the way to getting where we all want to be - Win Championships, and be more competitive with UGa and Bowl Games.
QB's looking up, WR's coming along(?), Welcome CTR, CMP and new AD, We have some good recruiters with a good class coming, Stamps back to ST's, all 3 phases should be better this year than last. We have team speed to match anyone we play.
What's not to like?

Were we not offering many players in the past?

Recruiting is my #1 issue with CPJ. It's good to see him modify his strategy. Hopefully we'll bring in a great class.

I like the idea of sending out many offers if not illegal, a long as we abide by signing rules.
Offer away - "Come and get 'em", first come, first serve for the masses if we save a few scholly's for the elite recruits.
GT and Atlanta is too cool a placeto not be attractive - if we win consistently, people will want to come here to play.In the past GT football has often been JUST GOOD ENOUGH TO BREAK YOUR HEART!

I don't think so, at least this early. That's 5 offers per available spot we have out there right now. There is some risk to it. What do you do if the #5 guy accepts now? Does that fill that spot and #'s 1 - 4 for that spot are SOL? Originally Posted by HelluvaMGTmjr

Who wouldn't want the luxury of having to choose from 100, even 50 offers accepted to fill 20 slots available?
But that's not likely to happen here at GT, not now anyways.In the past GT football has often been JUST GOOD ENOUGH TO BREAK YOUR HEART!

The #5 guy better be a 4* recruit at this point in the process. Hopefully not offering scrubs already. Originally Posted by dressedcheeseside

This early in the game we shouldn't be offering anybody that we wouldn't be darn glad to get. Originally Posted by dressedcheeseside

Good to see CJ helping out with a little recruiting. Not sure who the guy on the left is but he just got an offer.
