AJC Article:

Here's a good article on PJ's recruiting efforts in the state of GA. It is interesting as well, that Drummond and I. Cross are good friends...It even quotes Drummond as saying that "Izaan Cross might committ as well" Now wouldn't that be nice!

"Jaybo's a good friend, and another friend, [defensive end] Izaan Cross, might commit. Coach Johnson said he doesn't see [throwing the discus] being a problem."

Just thought I would post it since not everyone reads the AJC... Have a great day.
 
I like the idea of all these pre-existing friendships makingtheir way over to our program. Cohesiveness now on any level and to any degree can go a long, long way down the road.
 
Drummond: "They have a lot of B backs so I might start working at defensive end. It depends on how much bigger I get."

Sounds like a do what it takes for the team kinda guy. Nice pickup.
 
In state recruiting is awesome IMO because we can use the Hope Scholarship to our advantage!

For baseball, because they don't use full scholarships. Unless your walking on, how does it help in football?

Because you can save the scholarship for someone else and at most only need a partial scholarship to give the hope student a full ride, or am I off base here?

Hope is completely separate. Scholarship or none, i dont think they do partials in FB. Also, if you play more than one sport, it counts toward FB, IIRC

Hope is not a full ride. Didn't cover all the housing costs and full ride student athletes get meals and some other laundry money and such. Or at least they used to.
 
Im honestly not sure how HOPE plays into it, but in state is an advantage anyways, because the AA pays the tuition for the student to the academic side of the house. In state kids still have in state prices, out of state kids don't.

Basically strictly on tuition an in state recruit is about 1/3 to 1/4 of the cost of an out of state recruit.
 
When I was in school, in-state was $1800 a semester, out of state was $8000. I believe. Probably went up since then.
 
Hope allows you to grayshirt a bit more effectively, as it provides for a potential scholie player that you don't have room for this year to enter the program as a "walk-on" and wait till next year for the scholie. Kind of a shady practice, IMO, but the UGAGs of the world use it early and often.

true for my time too. another thread making me feel, how should i say, i know ... vintage!

the story that i have heard implies that at some point at Tech the curriculum was taken from semester courses and squeezed into quarters

more like they squeezed two quarters into one semester.
 
that might have been what they did recently when they went to semesters

what i am referring to is something different, but i am missing one key fact. either at the inception of GT, there were quarters, and the curriculum for each quarter was a semester at another college

OR

GT started with semesters, and at some point converted to quarters, but the quarters contained basically the entire previous semester

so, 1/2 a years work into a 1/3 of the year. more condensed. i dont know what they did when they went to semesters, but that is NOT what i am talking about

It's both. If you were transferring semesters into quarters, they only gave you one quarter credit per semester credit you transferred in. Now, in order to get a Tech semester credit you have to transfer in 2 quarter credits, and sometimes 2 whole semester credits.

Quote from a guy I knew who transfered into Tech from Emory, "Holy crap, it's only 3 weeks into the quarter and I'm already 5 weeks behind."
