Recruiting: Georgia Tech Offered Far, Far Fewer Scholarships to the Class of 2016

In the wake of National Signing Day, and with Georgia Tech's recruiting class fully signed (with one possible exception), it's a good time to step back and reflect on the class. How did it stack up nationally? How did it stack up to previous classes?

In doing so recently, I noticed a glaring difference from the previous two recruiting seasons: Georgia Tech gave out noticeably fewer scholarship offers to the class of 2016 than it did to the classes of 2015 or 2014.

The numbers are a little strange to look at, because 2016 saw the coaching staff seemingly revert back to a trend from 2012 and 2013, even when the 2014 and 2015 classes were decided improvements over their predecessors.
