Michael Summers is gone to GSU according to AJC

Good for summers. He wanted to play back at home in that hot hot sun! We got it mild in atl compared to down there!!
 
Sounds like a guy that has figured out what he wants to do. Degree from GT, masters from GS and a career in education. Smart young man.
 
So he's going to be playing against us this year. öööö that. I'm not wishing him any success until after we've played them.

By the way GSU is Georgia State. The GASO president already capitulated like a little bitch. So fix the title.
 
Going to GASO for his masters makes not one bit of sense.

I read the article. Still doesn't make a lick of sense. An example would be to achieve at the highest level of education possible. Playing a year or so at GASO just shows you are going to play at a lower level program

You probably missed this part.

"Summers said his decision was motivated by a desire to return home and provide an example to the youth of his hometown.

In him, “they can see a product of their hometown, a person who in a sense kind of beat the odds and got out and was able to come to Atlanta, come to Georgia Tech and be a student-athlete and get a degree and come back and give back to his community,” he said."
 
The horse asses seem to come out in these type of threads. ;-)

Good luck to Michael!
 
More likely......He quit the team and PJ didn't want him back and/or he couldn't get into a Masters program at the school. Someone else did this a few years ago, I kind of remember he couldn't get into a Masters program so he went somewhere else after he graduated.

He says he wants to teach. That's much easier to accomplish by not going to Tech for a masters. He'll be able to get a masters in education.

I mean, I'm glad he's graduating from Tech, and educationally, getting a Masters from Southern might be a reasonable fit for his goals. I still don't get the "quitting the team 3 games before the end of the season" thing, though. Unless there were extenuating circumstances that warrant walking out on a struggling, injury-riddled team, then that's a black mark against Summers in my book.

Same way I feel. He quit on his teammates. He quit on the fans. I congratulate him on graduating and wanting to be an example to his community and I thank him for playing at Tech, but he quit when Tech needed him most.
