Since a moderator from another site, a few close friends who follow Tech Recruiting, maybe the non-editorial parts should continue in that thread(it is currently one page, and at the top, I am listing the early signees with room for the late ones). If we overlap that is fine or cool with me.
That's one way to say it. This team needs more than a couple of transfer guards to be competitive. I expect a few roster slots to open up, which hopefully leads to at least 4 grad transfers.
Now if you mean by momentum yet another below .500 season in the league and another season without a real tournament bid, two transfer guards can probably keep that going.
I don't disagree, but based on the limited conversations I have had and the actions of those making the decisions, I don't think I am far off. As long as GT isn't scraping the bottom of the league in everything every year, I think the decision makers are ok. they want to avoid academic issues from the past like they are plague. I think as long as you stay away from the UNC type academic fraud, giving a few kids a chance to make it work academically at GT isn't a bad risk. If a few fail at it, that's expected. GT is a tough place. But that's not their attitude and the coaches they seem to like are the ones who accept that and try to make it work best they can athletically.If all that is true, then we...
1) don't need to pay $700 grand for an AD. We have the smallest athletic program in the ACC. We can find someone much cheaper to assure we are good in APR, academics, and representing the school with a clean program.
2) don't need to pay more than $300 grand for a MBB coach. We obviously don't care about anything but football at Tech anymore (apparently) and can find someone much cheaper to assure we are good in APR, academics, and representing the school with a clean program.
In fact, I will do both jobs for $250K right now. It will be a pay cut for me, but I will do it for the good of my alma mater.
Just heed warning now though, I'm killing about 75% of the athletic programs at Tech in my first 30 days on the job. (I've been watching a lot of Republican debates to get my dull and delusional on)
