Come on Belly. Do you think the GT coaches and fans want character kids?

Honestly, glad to hear you say this.

Thanks again D for info.

If you taught him, we expect him to make 1500 on the SAT and the Dean's list at Tech. No exceptions.

Actually, Jae is the kid who provoked me to ask the board (a long time ago)whether I could advocate a college to play football for, without getting him, me, and GT in trouble. I still don't know know the answer to that.

Belly, rules change all the time. Here is what Coach Lewis asked me to do when he was recruiting a player (Randall Godfrey) from my HS alma mater.
Wear my GT sweatshirt, t-shirt, coat, hat, anywhere that the player or parents could see them. Stand on sidelines during practice, walk in front of stands, stand as close as possible during games. Be in parking lot, close, after games. Have GT logos on vehicles.
Do not approach to talk to him. Do not write him. Do not call him. As an alumni of GT, I could be deemed a representative of the school. I may even count as an offical visit.
If he comes to my official place of business, residence or church, it's OK to talk to him. In other words, if I'm where I'm supposed to be, it's alright. If he calls me at my business, residence or church, it's OK to talk to him.
Coach Lewis said the main thing was to let them see my GT paraphanalia & know how proud I was of my school. He said they would get the message that I was sending as they know the recruiting games.
