Sorry if this has already been stated, but he is now listed as decommitted and having no interest in GT according to Scout.com
 
Have fun wherever you go and we'll be thinking of you when we go to the BCS in the next few years. No thanks to you!
 
Hard to blame Renfree. He doesn't fit the system and it is in our and his mutual interest for him to find a good fit elsewhere. Hopefully somewhere far, like in Arizona. He may have even been encouraged to go, for all we know.

Good luck and best wishes to Sean Renfree!
 
But the best sales pitch from Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban failed to convince Jackson to switch his allegiance from the Jackets to Alabama.


“The visit went well,” Jackson said Sunday evening. “Alabama did a great job of recruiting me, but I’m still committed to Tech 100 percent.”

The article does say he has yet to meet with Coach Johnson (what's the shorthand for this now, CPJ? I'm not typing that out for the next 20 years), so hopefully he'll be as firm in that statement afterwards... and hopefully he'll be here come January.

Come'on TechGator...no need to slam the kid. I understand his decisioning completely. We have rocked his world as well because he committed back in the summer and planned to early enroll. Now...he will not get to participate in spring practice anywhere barring some quick decisioning in the next few days.

He is a kid that wants to throw the ball 25 times per game and that is just not going to happen. He threw for 3,300 yds, 41 td's, and 5 INT's this year alone.

Plus...he is not a slimeball. He is a family kid..and a smart kid with a GPA over 4.0.

We are just not the right fit for him. I just hope he decides to go somewhere like Vandy in the SEC so Bobby Johnson can scare some of our foe's.

There's a pretty heavy handed forum rule about not slamming kids who decommit. I think it's stickied. FYI.
 
This is to be expected. He is a pro style drop back passer. He is no longer a fit for GT under Paul Johnson. GT will throw but it will not be a pro style drop back scheme. He is better off at school that will run an offense that better fits his abilities and GT is better off using the scholarship on someone who better fits the new offensive scheme. This is win win

Agreed. But the ironic part of this is he would have developed more under Paul than he would have under Chan, who could not develop a viable D1A QB in 6 years.

Agree about QB development in the past. Also we had the bes WR in football and CG did not use him like he should.

But what bothers me most is the kid or his dad never talked to PJ to see what his plans were and if he could fit in here. I am not slamming the kid but if he wants to make a decision without the facts then I am glad he is gone.

Disagree. Paul Johnson has been running this offense as a OC or head coach for 20+ years. They have plenty of evidence to go on. While, he will probably throw more in the ACC, it will still be an option based offense and the quarterbacks will be chosen first for there ability to run the option and 2nd for there ability to throw out of an option look.

I think they did the right thing because it was written in the AJC that a coach cannot talk to a recruit after Dec 15 until a certain date (don't remember the date)and now they want to see what options they have for Sean. If they waited, they may lose an opportunity to talk. I am sure they will talk to PJ also. There is nothing to say he cannot recommit to GT. Everything I have read since his commitment is that this is a class family.

Bogey I hope you are right but I still think they should have at least spoken to PJ and stated exactly what you did.

I agree that it's probable that Tech is not a good fit for him and what he wants to do, but still think it's poor form not to at least talk to the new coach. He could always talk with other schools to guage mutual interest. But making a definitive statement that he's no longer even considering Tech seems odd.

Why? There's nothing binding to his commitment at this point. Was it poor form for DRad to not have called him BEFORE he fired Chan?
