Awww. Look who is all about the feels nowadays.
As I tell people all the time in my vocation (analytics, kind of), you can represent gains in a few manners. On one hand, you can express a gain in raw numbers, like “the program increased from one four stars in 2021 to five four stars in 2024”. This can also be expressed as a percentage gain, like “the program has shown a 400% increase in four star recruiting since 2021”. One of those sounds better than the other.
My point being here, if this was an improvement from a strong baseline, color me impressed. Considering this was done after the Waffle House “swag” era, then this is an improvement from a dumpster fire. This is like bragging that you are the biggest earner in a kindergarten class when your grandparents gave you a twenty for your birthday, not that you crushed a Fortune 500 company’s sales record over a quarter season of earnings.
At Tech, you can do that. FTMFs.
Bless their little nerdy hearts.
November is coming. I imagine Kirby is going to have this game circled.
I sure hope so. We need their fans to be leaving real early.

That’s an oddly specific category. Not “top 3 recruiting programs” but “top 3 recruiting programs on the rise.” According to 247, Tech is only 21st in football recruiting overall. So the Athletic is saying something like “the third best looking vehicle in Mitsubishi’s new product line.”
I know Tech has improved their recruiting, but they really had nowhere to go but up. Geoff Collins was a total clown show and Paul Johnson considered recruiting as a major nuisance. Brent Key has raised them to a level of competency, which I guess for Tech is a big deal.
Coach Key is doing a good job for GT.
It is a place where it is hard to do a good job.
I agree. Look at their recruiting compared to some other schools and they have gotten better. We need to focus on beating their ass and taking the Drought away from them.
