AWESOME! This kid has also been very instrumental in recruiting his fellow peers to GT!

Is it just me, or are the commits doing a lot more personal recruiting of their peers than in years past?

Either way, I like it a LOT!

What is the criteria for selection? Is it truly the best of the best or is it some combination of skill, academics, community involvement, etc.?

Sounds like a combination of athletics and academics. Exactly what we want at Tech!

Congrats to Kyle! :biggthumpup:

From their site:

On January 7, 2006, the 6th annual U.S. Army All-American Bowl showcased the best high-school football players in the country who showed great physical strength on the field and mental strength in the classroom. The game featured tomorrow's college and NFL stars in a classic East vs. West match-up.

If he committed to ND, he'd have a better chance. Tom Lemming picks half the players. Last year, there were almost 10 ND players on the roster (including Barry Gallup, a 2* at the time).

I believe the only player that we have signed in the past that played in this game was Daryl Richard.

Lets hope that KJ plays well enough to get in the game!
