Gotta wait five years to see how things turn out.


Engelberger is a guy who was on a bad HS team and was a late bloomer. I was a big fan of his. It might be harder for Tech to get quality walk-ons now since ODU, Liberty and JMU can offer lower-ranked guys a chance to play big-time football.

I did a review of the top Tech recruits over the last twenty years and I found that roughly 40% of the three and four star recruits were not contributors. I attached the link below.

  What do you mean “90-95% is reliable in my book” -- Pride_and_Joy 12/22/2021 10:56PM
  What I meant was ... -- Flanker 12/23/2021 12:05AM
  So 90% is just a completely arbitrary standard you created. -- Pride_and_Joy 12/23/2021 01:34AM
  90% is a good standard -- Flanker 12/23/2021 4:24PM
  I can’t. This is just too painful. ** -- Pride_and_Joy 12/23/2021 4:40PM
  Sure. I’ll spend ten minutes and -- Pride_and_Joy 12/23/2021 4:41PM

  Very possible explanation for the results -- Seikoh_04 12/23/2021 10:54AM
  I still prefer the VA top 25 3* over the 4* -- Flanker 12/22/2021 4:15PM
  I have enjoyed your research -- Seikoh_04 12/22/2021 3:19PM
