3 players gone

[agt45]

Per the AJC (behind paywall)

Peje Harris
TK Chimedza
Pierce Quick

Losing Quick sucks. He was the best guard we had last season

 

[BigDanT]

Are these transfers?

 

[coit]

Not transfers. Just ending playing careers.

Quick went back to Bama to graduate this Spring. Other 2 already graduated.

Three Georgia Tech players decide to finish playing careers

Each with eligibility remaining, three Georgia Tech players have decided to complete their football-playing careers. Defensive tackle T.K. Chimedza, tight end PeJé Harris and offensive lineman Pierce Quick confirmed to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that they have moved on from playing...

Aren't we over on our total number? This helps that at least.

 

[The Champ]

Quick had a bunch of injuries iirc.

 

[GoldZ]

These aren't the 3 I would have picked to help the total number issue.

 

[Architorture23]

Quick had a bunch of injuries iirc.

Correct. His body was just done.

 

[smokey_wasp]

Thanks and good luck to all 3

Quick was a loss because he played well despite his injuries, but he physically just couldn't anymore. TK and Peje were decent depth pieces and I appreciate everything they have done for the program, but both got their degrees and I think it was the right decision to move on. We won't miss any production there IMO.

I had big hopes for Chimedza when he signed. I was hoping he'd close to another Gotsis or Gamble, or maybe another Brandon Adams eventually.

I'm so glad to know that GT of all programs won't miss "decent depth". Things are really be looking up, but I don't think we are deep in any sense of the word.

Thanks to all three of these Tech Men for their efforts, and best wishes for their futures.

So then who are the sort of guys on the roster you think we can afford to lose to make room? These are the exact type I expected.

His injury really set him back.

 

[GTYJ]

Probably left because we average 3.5 wins per year over the last 4 years.
Sucks to play for a team that loses so many games season after season.

 

[stinger78]

Stinks to lose those guys, but we have to move on w/o them. Quick didn't play much after mid-season, IIRC, and Chimedza not really too much at all, though he was listed on the depth chart, again, IIRC.

Crazy this guy's reaction score is in the negatives.

Hard to believe, eh?

But he was a good kid!
