Great City 210 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Rumor on the streets of GC today is that there are many openings on the football staff. More accurately..........seems like the only coach we have now is Akers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leatherhead Larry 530 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Good start. Maybe we can find a defensive coordinator and a line coach now. Should have cleaned house last season with the hire of Akers in my honest opinion. gc1 and Chappy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SXSW 557 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 This should have happened as LHL said last season, you can't leave a bunch of butt hurt coaches on a staff with the new guy, the cancer from two years ago was still there. Until he brings in his own guys nothing will change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Until there's talent, nothing will change. GC always has talent. Collier was one of the better players in 2A last year. GC may have problems but talent is seldom an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason 299 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 A lot of the issue for talent at GC is kids concentrating on one sport. One sport athletes hurt small schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't blame a kid that truly has DI aspirations to stick to their main sport and not risk any injury in another sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason 299 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Can't blame them but there are also college coaches that like the multisport athlete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leatherhead Larry 530 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Can't blame them but there are also college coaches that like the multisport athlete. They make it known too. I've seen where several coaches say that. And it's obvious, look at how many D1 coaches go to watch kids play other sports, Dabo went to OR to watch Higgins play basketball, Fuente is supposed to watch Mitchell play basketball as well. Coaches love versatility. Jason and gc1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Can't blame them but there are also college coaches that like the multisport athlete. That's for sure true, but say you're an elite basketball player who has a chance at a D1 offer, football can be brutal and if it's not a sport you particularly like, playing could lead to a serious injury that totally derails a kids dream. Football stars are kinda different, while injures like ACL tears and such happen in basketball, injuries are generally less severe compared to football where you can basically hurt everything. I'm sure GC would've loved to have McClung play football, but I don't blame a kid if he doesn't truly love a sport to choose to focus on what they really love playing.

The strong finish really helped. 247 has them in the top 20, which is not somewhere Tech usually finishes. They haven't landed any big 5* kids, but they have five 4* kids which is big for VT.

They haven't landed any big 5* kids, but they have five 4* kids which is big for VT. They aren't done either. Another 4*, Garbutt is rumored to be committing today or tomorrow. There's also a few other high 3* guys (Speed, Becton, Newsome) that VT has a real shot at. This is shaping up to be maybe the best defensive class they've ever signed.

SXSW 557 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Bulldogs52 really, that maroon Kool-aid must be good stuff, have you seen Clemson and Florida State's classes this year.

BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Yeah FSU should be just fine even losing Cook, they are landing the top or #2 RB in this class and that defense was very young. Clemson will take a small step back losing Watson and Williams, but they are gonnbhanf around and Miami is FOR SURE trending up w Richt.

Ryan4VT 4,554 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 We all say Miami is "back" every single year. They lose their QB, RB, WR, TE. Their defense will be legit, but I'm not sold on them being back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 And Richt can coach. That 5-game winning streak to end their season was no accident. Not to mention Miami might be only school with a better locale for elite recruits than Athens. All that talent right in his backyard.
