Tech did quite a good job of recruiting Georgia to get players for '04. Of the 11 Ga recruits, 9 were in the Hot 100 with a 10th, K Kyle Belcher not listed because kickers aren't (even the supergood K from Augusta that Maryland 'shipped wasn't listed). Out of these 11 only 1 is a true sleeper, TE Jon Morrison (Marietta), but with a 2 TE system GT employs a lot a developing TE was essential (note Mike Matthews switch to TE).
Tech's staff just did a good job in Ga last season & if you look at the players we wanted, tried for & barely missed on, you'd have the makings of a Top 15 nationally ranked recruiting class. The main wants & misses were DE Brandon Miller, RB Darius Walker, OT Jeremy Ciulla, WR Greg Suddereth & LB Jae Thaxton (who we plain out got in on too late with the Gailey in-home visit being the week before signing day).
The hogwash we were given the past 2 yrs about GT couldn't recruit the state because of grades, etc, was just that, hogwash . GT's football staff just did a lousy job recruiting Ga. Now it appears that our staff is much, much more in tune with the Ga players we want & should be able to reap the Ga benefits on a regular basis now. I'm very happy about this tune of events.
