re: 2016's last uncommitted 5* - Demetris Robertson

HAHA 100k entry level coming out of GT! Yeah right! You don't even get that coming out of Harvard. Get off your high horse. Fact of the matter is that Demetris has no control over where he goes. Carlos is calling the shots based on solely academics. I actually feel bad for the kid, the kid is a stud and should be going where he feels best about football. He has the option of Bama, ND, UGA, Tech, and Stanford (pending a miracle). If he stays in school and gets his degree from any of those institutions he will be doing great if he chooses to not go the Football route.

I do have to say this average salary info you gave is false. Anyone who has graduated from college and found a job would know that and the actual information can be found easily with a simple google search. LINK /

Those numbers don't even match up for the graduate programs.

The percentage of new undergraduates making 6 figures is miniscule even from Ivy's. A great salary for new graduate engineering students is mid 60's which is what GT seems to do. I have no idea where you got 100 Gs.

We have a ton of GT grad where I work. Starts out around $62000 unless I'm mistaken.

If you graduate from GT in engineering you are set. Graduate from UGA with business you are a dime a dozen and far from se

If you graduate from Alabama, UGA, Stanford, or Notre Dame in engineering you are set as well. It's stupid to compare apples to oranges.

And for all of the starting salary figures that you want to come up with, what you have to keep in mind is that state schools like UGA and UA are having to balance their numbers with the several who major in degrees that do not lead to a career in and of themselves (Bachelors degrees in psychology or art history, etc) In other words, it matters little to an engineering student how much an art history major makes out of college.

GT isn't a below average program. If anything we are average or above average. GT had its first season where it didn't qualify for a bowl in 20 years. That's tied with UGA and VT and FSU. That means above .500 football for a period of 20 years. Tennessee can't say that, Nebraska can't, USC can't, ND cant, Stanford can't. Plenty of programs.

GT has won its division or tied it's division 4 of the last 8 years. Won the ACC once and played for it twice. Won a NY6 bowl just two years ago against an SEC West team.

3-9 is an aberration and for the short sighted.

And he's already gotten into ND. The distance and weather are negatives for them.

If he really wanted UGA or UA he would be there by now IMO.

Care to explain where you got the $100k number from?

Or why DRob actually cancelled his visit to Georgia just to be with his family, because this was him at his game last night....I mean chillin with his family

I think that he is likely not signing a NLI and will go the Roquan Smith route and just fill out the financial aid papers to the school(s) he is interested in so April 1st will not matter. Unless he gets frustrated this will probably go at least until May 1st when most schools require all students to make a decision for Fall semester and even then most schools will accept a special student past that date.

I always find the engineering and football thing interesting. The thing that really makes you most viable coming out of college in that field are your co-ops/internships and on-campus hands on research although obviously strong grades, and school reputation helps. I just don't see how any player at a FBS school with their schedule ever really gets the real world experience they need to go right out of college into that field. I have to guess that a lot of those guys are doing post graduate internships are going straight to grad school if the pros are not in their future.

Didn't state basketball playoffs just start?

They did. These games are a tad more important.

And what this guy still doesn't get is that the weekend/day he visited Tech, he had a game that Friday night before so it was much easier to manage. He has been quoted saying when he officially visits Georgia, he wants all of his family to be there and for it to be a full weekend.

I didn't say that it was my definition of success. I want GT to win and compete for NCs. Shows you don't have good reading comprehension.

I said we aren't below average because of x, y and z. I never said we are successful. I don't consider those measures successful. I consider them average to above average compared to the rest of the NCAA as a whole.
