about 9 of them. Now we're down to 4 or 5". This is what AD Dave Braine just said on his pregame show. Don't know whether he was just validating Coach Gailey, but he sounded genuine. "As Coach Gailey said, it is a down year as far as academics go in Ga".
Perhaps this may alleviate some of the concern that most of the Tech community has had regarding recruiting the very good players in Ga. There does seem to be an abnormally large group that does not have qualifying SAT scores yet & an abnormally large group that has just barely made qualifying scores.
As much as we want them, this is a 'gamble' as far as GT goes. We've had pretty much a perfect record of getting all the players we've offered 'ships to into school over the past 5 or 6 yrs. We haven't had any surprises over the past few yrs come June or Aug. We haven't been 'hoping' during the summer that so-and-so can grad from hs or eventually get his 'test' score. We haven't been hoping that u-know-who can learn to study in prep school. It's a fine edge we're on as far as getting players that can win & do their rigorous schoolwork.
Here's a prayer that Gailey can get championship players to come to Ga Tech.
