Got in there early - I like it. We'll see what happens when the SEC schools start taking notice. This kid has a lot of room to put on some strength. He's gonna be a big guy.Louisville, UNC, Rutgers, and Wake offered...
but what's MORE impressive is the size of this kid. 6-5, 240lbs with a year of high school left. BIG kid.
**edit** Scout says he's 265lbs but whatevs
I think this will be the case with a number of the guys we've got on board so far. It happens every year. Our coaches seem to be pretty good at spotting good talent early. Let's hope we keep these guys come February.Got in there early - I like it. We'll see what happens when the SEC schools start taking notice. This kid has a lot of room to put on some strength.

Lamar Owens was the coach recruiting him.Is Roof just killing it on the recruiting trail, or were we going to lose a ton of people on defense? Seems like all our recruits are defensive players.
I think we were recruiting him for the OL. Not sure though.Is Roof just killing it on the recruiting trail, or were we going to lose a ton of people on defense? Seems like all our recruits are defensive players.

Or, IMO, it is more probable that a lot of the guys on our A list are on the factories' B or C list. When their A's don't work out (there are a limited amount of 5*'s out there) they move on to their B and C list, some of which happen to be "committed" to us.I feel like the coaching staff at GT gets played by the "bigger" schools. It seems as if GT offers a kid it brings more coaches around to look at him. Quite a few recruits over the years have gotten interest from other programs because they commit to GT. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the commits we have that end up flipping flip to mostly sec or more nfl type factories. GT doesn't lose kids to other acc schools or anything like that. I think this says a lot about the coaches and the type of program GT has. Schools may look over kids and then realize, "hey Tech offered him, maybe we need to look closer." It's a bad part of the recruiting process, but it does show that other schools have respect for the program.
