I wonder how much he was hampered by AMo's desire to only work with "true" wide receivers. Something tells me if we had had Zohn Burden for three years, Caleb would at least be contributing at receiver.
This is the danger inherent in drafting "athletes."
Hard to say. Recruiting classes were not tracked in the mid to late 90s like they are today.
Fortunately, that's also completely irrelevant. If your argument is literally "No, because he didn't recruit so well at his first P5 program 20 years ago," then you are missing my point. Take Saban NOW (as an established commodity) and put him in the head office, and we see a dramatic improvement in recruiting.

# | Report: QB Michael Brewer Could Be Ready to Play Against North Carolina State He wasn't just sharp, he was lethal. Flirting with a 70% completion percentage, on pace to pass for 270 yards and 3 or 4 touchdowns.

The claim was that Clemson gets recruiting classes ranked in the top 10 to top 15.
2011: 8
2012: 14
2013: 14
2014: 13
2015: 4
I just don't see your argument. They ARE pulling int classes in the top 10 to 15. You're going back to the previous decade to try to make your point. By the straight numbers, Clemson is a top 10/15 recruiter.
The footprint is so simple, too. VT can be successful in recruiting if they lock down Virginia, then also recruit the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, New Jersey and Indiana (mostly Indianapolis). Virginia doesn't produce enough elite talent to bank on, but it produces enough talent to not have to be going to Texas, California, etc. (Though it should be mentioned that if Searels can maintain the connections he built in Texas, that's all that much better.)
When you say Clemson gets top 10/15 classes, that isn't quite right. Clemson has averaged around a class ranking of 15 since Dabo has been the coach.
Hugh Freeze is a hell of a coach. A lot of people had him tabbed for greatness when we played his Arkansas State team. I don't think a guy like him has to bend or break rules to get kids to play for him. He had a couple of really good recruits at Arkansas State just because they bought into what he was doing. He's exactly the kind of coach I hope we hire after Beamer decides to hang it up.
OR...
The sterner discipline at VT would have forced Jameis to face the very real prospect of being kicked off his team, forcing him to make some tough decisions earlier in life, thereby causing him to grow up a little. You could look at Jimbo as an enabler.
Could honestly go either way.
How the hell does Alabama not have a quarterback?
I'm with you. We were on course to do it last year, and then Brewer fell apart with three picks, trying to force every throw he possibly could. If we get a smart effort by whoever our starting QB happens to be, I think we could go up by a couple scores in the first half and then just pour it on.
I'd like to get Hazell alone in a room and have him explain his rationale for benching Appleby. After reading french's review of the defense, it sounds like Appleby made all the right decisions based on how the defense was playing. Appleby really didn't make very many mistakes. That interception by Alexander was ridiculous. It wasn't like Appleby didn't see the safety. Alexander was in a different zipcode when that ball was thrown. Appleby seems like a pretty good QB on a really bad team. The breakdowns against us were schematic. Bud dictated where the play was going, and dictated every play went in a direction Purdue sucked at. I think krak_t is dead on in his Mike London comparison.
Is that a Perry Bible Fellowship strip? Kind of looks like the style of some of them.

# | Report: QB Michael Brewer Could Be Ready to Play Against North Carolina State So who exactly would be the backup then? True freshman Josh Jackson?
Something we haven't been able to do since CPJ came to Georgia Tech.

Sam Rogers had no beginning.

I want to see what these look like in a day game. I think they lost something under the lights at Lane. Sunlight should make the metallic effect pop.
Maybe I've been spoiled with the content this website provides but I've been searching multiple Notre Dame fan sites and articles to figure out what exactly their defense did to defend the GT triple option, with no success.
No other college football website, for Virginia Tech or any other program, provides the level of analysis as TKP. This joint is seriously on another level than any other football site in the world.
Keep in mind that Brewer was on pace to throw for 270 yards and 3 TDs against the defending national champs. He also made up all the yardage he lost taking his two sacks. Brewer isn't a running threat, but he is mobile in the pocket and sense spressure. (In fact, I was a little surprised he stood in there and made the throw to Malleck when he saw the defender coming unblocked. Brewer would typically roll to avoid that hit.)
You had a really great boss.
