2020 Recruiting

[Walton]

That is some awful shit. I know it is very hard to draw the line but you should be able to sue for shit like that. It was specific with intent to harm; no one could say it was a reasonable football play.

 

[BrentwoodJacket]

The low-life that hit him should be gone for the season.

 

[Flywheel]

WF let him return and finish the game, unfortunately.

I am surprised no one retaliated.

 

[BuzzFeitenSystem]

Chop block o’clock

 

[GoGATech]

Tyson Meiguez teammate at Creekside. Both play LB and go by the "Twin Towers."

 

[ScionOfSouthland]

Tyson Meiguez teammate at Creekside. Both play LB and go by the "Twin Towers."

unfortunate nickname

 

[Architorture23]

Jet fuel can't melt linebackers.

 

[JJacket]

Pretty awful move by West Forsyth. Glad he was able to walk off at least. He's 2nd from the right, #8 on the kicking team.

That coach should be suspended for the season and investigated to see if that was coach orders. Both players who performed the intentional chop should be done playing HS FB

This list was made from a combination of names I remembered from following recruiting closely over the last decade and scanning UGA/Bama commit lists. It is by no means comprehensive. Maybe I'll sit down one of these days and try to make a comprehensive one. Hopefully it's enough for you.

Jordan Jenkins #6 WDE in the country was talked about as a Tech lean early in the cycle. Wanted to do engineering. UGA got an engineering program and we ended up without an OV.

2012
John Atkins #40 DT in the country had Tech in his Final 5. Rumored that Tech finished 2nd or 3rd (committed to UGA). IIRC he was ranked higher before getting hurt in HS.

None of those names had a meaningful career at Tech. Not one.

Neat. That doesn’t apply to recruiting or the conversation we were having at all.

Neither does including DEs in the list, but alas it happened.

Bryce Gowdy

 

[JoeCakeEater]

I’m not going to the game, but hopefully some that are take him up on it.

 

[GTWannaBee]

Agree. Would be good to see his request for support met by Tech fans - or current players, or even better, past players.

 

[gtchief]

Saw on reddit that we were one of the favorites (along with Miami) for 4* CB Jalen Harrell after his FSU decommit. The only 247 Crystal Ball has him 100% Miami though. Maybe someone on here has more info

 

[gtrower]

That crystal ball for Harrell to Miami is from February fwiw (probably not much at this point).

 

[Flywheel]

Jamil Burroughs just commited to Bama after dumping UGA. They now have 4 DT's committed. That has to help our position with Jayson.

Definition of the rare "win-win-win".

Just wait until we flip Stakehouse from UGA...
