2012 Recruiting Thread

[Jacket59]

None of those guys are 6'1, I doubt any of them are even 6 feet with out getting on their tippy toes. Choice is prolly 5'9 or 5'10

Looked up Choice, and you're right, he's 5'10". Tech had him listed at 6'1" one year though. Dwyer and Sims are both listed at 5'11". Anthony Allen is 6'1" though. And, George was 6'3". So, the original point stands that, a highs school listed height of 6'2", for a kid getting recruited at RB and LB is no reason to have concern. The 5* James Wilder kid we were in on and wanted bad last year was listed at 6'2.5". I don't think anyone would've been complaining about landing him.

4-star safety from New Jersey. Only South Carolina recruiting him from the south.

----. We REALLY need a good safety. Anybody got some good news on this guy? I've heard his name mentioned a time or two.

No real news i could find other than it seems like he just made a visit to ND and according to a poster

"ELIJAH SHUMATE's father loved ND said it was a NO BRAINER."

Also read on scouts that Frain reconfirmed his commitment :(

Latest i could find on McCalister

If this is true I like our chances.

Miles Jones quote from AJC: Said Jones, “Georgia Tech said that I’m the No. 1 running back they are recruiting. They may have a few transfers coming in, so they have to see how it’s going to go.”

Who is considering transferring to us?

from AJC Twitter:

It's looking good with Dalvin Tomlinson RT @1990champs: Hey will GaTech land Mcallister, Tomlinson & Shumate? @RecruitingAJC 1 hour, 2 minutes

Haven't heard much talk about him. Tech must not have had much of a chance to start with.

They did. He was going to take an OV after new years.

Did he cancel his official visit with us?

what is gtsportstalk?

 

[BioJacket06]

It is the new bbuzzoff.

 

[GruffyMcGuiness]

It is the new bbuzzoff.

Did he change the name hoping for people to sign up not knowing it's actually BO?

Shumate to announce at halftime of US Army All-American game. His dad said a few days ago that he was down to USC, Rutgers and ND. Shumate said a day or so ago that he had a final four which included GT. My guess is that he's going to ND, but it should be interesting.

 

[BuzzFeitenSystem]

My guess is that he's going to ND, but it should be interesting.

..and you're right..

guess he's canceling his visit?

 

[JabroniJacket]

Another one gets away. Come on Dalvin!

Ok, Miami has 30+ verbal commits including about 7 DBs (not including 3 or 4 they're still pursuing).

Why in the world would a CB committed to another school even listen to their overtures?

 

[AE 87]

Did he cancel his official visit with us?

I've seen it suggested recently that Ryan Watson is still going to make his official visit to GT.

Does anyone know what's up with Jamal Marcus (Vad's Hillside teammate)?
