FOOTBALL RECRUITING Good News for Whiskeychef and bad news for one of our commitments

Paint Tennessee (and especially Chattanooga) Blue! McCallie comes back from a 21-0 deficit to beat Jimmy Bryson and Baylor 27-21 for the Tennessee State Championship (largest Private class) - thats 5 of the last 6 Championships for McCallie (Baylor won the other one) and they avenge the regular season loss to the cross town rivals- lots of talent on the field tonight, and although I was cheering for the Blue, we are getting a good one in Jimmy Bryson!

FOOTBALL Penalty stats for 2024

So, I saw somewhere on a post where some gagger fan was claiming that UGAg had an average rank of 118 over the last 3 seasons in penalties against their opponent. Searching for this stat, I found several things, one of which that stat is bullshit, they were not even close. They had one season like that but were much higher the other 2. Anyway, it made me curious about GTs penalty stats this year, because we've seemed to be fairly disciplined but it also seems like we have seen many no-calls go against us and benefit our opponents this year also. Well, I was right, stats back it up.

For 2024 regular season GT is:

#18 in penalties per game (4.9)
#7 in penalty yards per game (37.8)

Being ranked that highly, you would think our opponents penalties/yards per game would be worse than that... nope...

#130 in opponents penalties per game (3.9)
#127 in opponents penalty yards per game (35.9)

So we are a top 20 team when it comes to penalties/discipline, yet our opponents penalty stats are better than ours, when none of our individual opponents are ranked higher than we are in either category. That math don't math.

What is our ceiling in recruiting?

We’re obviously thrilled with this class as it’s our best in a couple decades. For those that follow recruiting closely, what is our ceiling for our program in terms of a recruiting class? Have we reached it? Or is it fair to think that in the current environment we could someday sign top-10 or better classes? If so, what would it take to get us there?

FOOTBALL RECRUITING On Damola

So this is an interesting situation. What I’ve been told and said on here a while ago is he had a tricky situation with enrolling at GT or UGA for that matter with the admissions requirements.

Had two sources tell me that he got denied trying to file his paperwork with Georgia Tech and is expected to sign with South Carolina because their system could take him. Was it is an Immigration status issue not academics.
