Exciting times for GT football recruiting, even though you never win them all.
While I cannot count myself as a Key proponent from the jump, he quickly rose to #2 on my coach wish list last yr. Although I NEVER doubted him as a top notch OL coach (in spite of some sentiment to the contrary at the time) and someone who bleeds (and has literally bled for the) White & Gold, I admit not giving him the credit he deserved for the "how to run a program" experience he gained over his career (Saban, O'Leary,Scooter lol). There's NO WAY we'd be in the position we're in right now if my #1 guy had gotten the job. (Maybe ibeeballin and the overwhelming majority of GT lettermen knew a little something after all).
The staff Brent has put together has been nothing short of phenomenal. Y'all realize we even have a longtime NFL position coach AS AN ANALYST?!! No wonder we still got a puncher's shot at the Nigerian kid from TX.
Just had to get that out.
Now on to my reaction to last night's Q&A. I thought the following was very significant concerning some prospects committed elsewhere:
"Think a few may be regretting their early decisions. The real battles remaining now (other than Fox) are on the OL, DL LB, and DB."
...along with Russell's answer to Mattbrook22's question about potential flip candidates:
LB Pruitt (MIA)
OL Holmes (PITT)
LB/S Presley (UCF)
CB Goodwyn (CINCY)
WR Turner Jr. (LSU)
S CJ Heard (FSU)
Fellow Jackets, if we're fortunate with the injury bug, Brent gets us off to a good start and we're 4-1 headed to Mia, I'll be looking for some more of these as we head toward the holidays:
