2012 Recruiting Thread

[gt23eric]

My premature, trying to be realistic wishlist:
Dillon Lee, Imani Cross, Geno Smith, Matt Dobson, Keith Marshall

Take off Lee, Smith and Marshall.

Seriously?!? Lee, said he wanted to play against his brother, damn it that kid looks like a player, do you enjoy being a wet towel?

 

[BuzzFeitenSystem]

Take off Lee, Smith and Marshall.

Damn, 1 week into 2012 recruiting and GT's not even under consideration... Why did we even offer?

 

[ibeeballin]

Take off Lee, Smith and Marshall.

gt23eric, would you say Martin Aiken is off the board and go to Clemson like his past HS alums Ricky Sapp and Da'Quan Bowers?

No were in play.

Just read on ESPN (need insider access) that Jordan Jenkins, their top ranked player in Georgia, has some interests that might lead him our way:

His high school coach Bobby Parks added, "The biggest factor with Jordan is he wants to major in engineering, and that's a big deal for him. Jordan's looking at it from an academic standpoint, not just an athletic standpoint."

And the measurables look good too: Jenkins recently posted a 4.67 40-yard dash, 4.41 20-yard shuttle and 33-inch vertical at the National Under Armour Combine in Orlando, Fla.

That has to help...

I counted our offers the other day and if "the" site is correct, we have something like 32 offers already. Do we usually offer that many early or does the site have their own agenda?

Take Kenyan Drake off. He committed to Bama today.

It's February 2011, I think if we learned anything this year it's no one is "off" until NSD.

Hope you're right and this actually is a factor, but I've seen this movie before.

Drake is solid to bama

 

[mabe_xc]

Matt Jones, possible B-Back, commits to Florida. Has been a lean for them a long time so not unexpected.

Now that UGA will offer engineering degrees....

 

[gt23eric]

UGA won't be much of a factor with Jenkins.

 

[Jacket59]

UGA won't be much of a factor with Jenkins.

Is it wrong that I get the warm-fuzzies whenever this is the case?

 

[GTLiebs]

Now that UGA will offer engineering degrees....

Since it's free either way, if being an engineer is important enough to him he wouldn't pick UGA if it is a matter of the same major offered at both.

I think what you mean is no one is "committed to Tech" until NSD. We got robbed a lot more than we rid robbin'.

A lot can happen at the very end of a deal. It seems that Tech does not participate in end of sale deals, so yes, we get hammered late. This is why, when ya'll become long term veterans (i.e. old men), you'll realize that Tech almost never brings in a big boy late.

Nick Menocal and Anthony Harrell say hello.
