dontae aycock visits auburn

Were doing a double standard. We stole sims from uk, hill from ucf, foster from ut, shaw from mtsu. Anymore?
 
Fake punt wasn't called by PJ. Punt team had green light to audible into fake if a numbers mismatch arose. Punt team made the wrong read. PJ said they blew the call and he wouldn't permit that to happen again.

Fact is Dontae gave PJ his word. Even Dontae's coaches said they advised Dontae against it and he still screwed it up.

The coaches are stupid? I'm disappointed, but I think our staff did the right thing here.

What a stupid thing to do by Tech staff. Wow that was dumb.

We should be winning kids over because choosing Tech is the right thing to do, not out of fear.

Wow wow wow that was dumb.

Combine this with the fake punt in the 2nd quarter vs LSU and my opinion of this coaching staff has gone waaaay down.

Wow that was dumb.

PJ: "Dontae, If you do X, then I will do Y"

Dontae does X.

What should PJ do? It seems pretty straight forward to me.

Why make this kind of ultimatum to a kid who's watching the news daily and seeing another of our non-silent commits do X, with no recourse?

It's dumb.

DUMB.
 
I agree that if you told Aycock a trip to Auburn would lead to rescinding the offer, then you had to rescind. However, why didn't we come out over the weekend and say that we were no longer recruiting him because of his trip to Auburn? But, I think this approach to recruiting is going to hurt us in the long run.

Blue chip recruits who hear about this will do what CPJ asks in the future, they will be very reluctant to give us early commitments. We will offer lesser players who will accept because we are their best offer.

You have to play the game with the current rules. Right now you can commit, but the commitment is non-binding until signing day. We all know that. So, the game involves getting the verbals, keep wooing them until signing day, and be ready to offer a great kid who wavers on their own early commitment to another school. That's the way the game is played.

If we really liked this kid as a player and person, I say tell him to take his trip to Auburn, then work like hell to convince him why being a QB at Georgia Tech is so much better for his future than being a RB at the Loveliest Village.
 
I don't know the exact details, but this screams double standard.

If this is a question of character, then why do we want Shaw, Wright, or Hill? They broke their commitments to come here. The only difference is that some other school got screwed over.

Remember this kid made a SILENT commitment to us and the next day it is splashed all over the internet that he committed to us. How did that information get out? Would that be considered a violation of trust?

How do you ask one kid to back out of a commitment and say it's okay then turn around and tell another that they can't even go on a visit?

Because we quit recruiting another kid once Aycock committed to us. The other recruit has committed elsewhere.
 
I can see it as a timing issue. If Perkins felt like taking a visit to Ole Miss in a few weeks, I highly doubt anyone would notice, let alone care. His visiting a school would not screw us in the least bit.

The fact that a "committed" prospect is taking a visit 3-4 days before signing day is a completely different thing. Imagine if CPJ doesn't give the ultimatum. Aycock takes his visit, likes it, but waits for Wednesday to announce his final decision. That is a 100% screwjob because we had a scholarship with his name on it.

Now, at least, there are a couple of days to figure out other options for that scholarship.
 
Wow, what a turn of events. It's gotta be the timing issue. I wonder if we did this with Hill and that's why he didn't go visit U[sic]GA?
