Who is "everybody"? I actually don't recall seeing anything from any coach at Tech that assumed he would be. The most optimistic updates were always from the GMC coach as I recall and he kept saying that Whitehead was "working real hard" and he believed he was going to get everything done in...

Why, because the future is easy to predict? I understand being a pessimist and being an optimist. I guess I don't understand emotionally investing in it. Probably means I have read too much Marcus Aurelius to join in.

I get emotionally wrapped up in a Tech game in progress, sometimes a bit nervous even a couple days beforehand and in a loss I need time to decompress or vent. But I don't really get all the emotion and melodrama by grown men in this thread or about most of what has happened this off-season...

Maybe but too little info to blame the Hill yet. Particularly after it was the NCAA clearing house on Custis.

Now Whitehead deserves to have a sno-cone!

Yeah the basis of my encouraging post was what Myles said in his tweet. As I mentioned before I see no good in being anything other than encouraging for the possible benefit of some recruit who may read these threads or end up hearing the arguments presented in them. When everything is...

That makes it sound like a no-restrictions release from the LOI. I am unsure what I think of that. Certainly seems generous on CPJ's part which my inclination is to treat as admirable. Myles should still choose Tech to validate his efforts at school work this summer and to challenge himself...

I thought that as well but then I remembered it is CPJ speaking and when does he ever suggest things are wrapped up or easy for any kid at any stage of their career? :) The guy pushes each individual in one form or another every step of the way, he is like a USMC drill sergeant. Until...

Ok, well Anthony's mistakes seem to have been compounded into negatively impacting his younger brother's chances to achieve his potential on and off the field. For their own good I hope they still do achieve success in their lives but foregoing the chance to get a Tech degree is such a huge...

I don't like hat shows, teenage athlete egos, immature tweets, etc. But all that is actually why I want to see Myles come to Tech, make the dean's list, graduate, and play great football. It has nothing to do with what I think might be most likely to occur and everything to do with what I...

"Rabble, rabble, rabble!" ;)

I have a pretty simple rule I try and stick to. If you are a recruit, commit, or player at Tech I will refrain from criticizing you in a public forum. If you are failed out or got dismissed then I may voice my disappointment. But if you are a recruit, commit, or player for a football...

I generally ignore tweets or just don't treat them harshly because it is an unforgiving medium and encourages thoughtlessness. If you are 18 and it is the same day your brother is dismissed from a team you have been working hard at school all summer to join then I think this is a rather mild...

Yeah but this is Myles first reaction and in a medium (Twitter) that isn't known to encourage calm and cool reasoning. It is a pretty natural reaction I think to feel sympathy and solidarity with your brother. He needs to get together with his family and really talk over what happened. If...

I am sure it sucks to suddenly not be able to play with your brother. In fact, it has to really really suck. But they each have to live their own lives and make their own decisions. If Myles sees the benefit to playing at Tech and getting a Tech degree in and for themselves and has it in...

"We will just have to move some guys around. Make chicken salad out of chicken sh*t!" That is the right attitude and the one I expect from a school of engineers. :)

I had the same thought; he isn't confident he just likes a good bet and knows a Seminole fan is dumb enough to give him one.

Why not just get to the point and say that Tech only offers Baccalaureate of Science degrees? That is the real issue and what defines it as opposed to Stanford and every other good school that does offer many stem degrees or even grants a decent amount of them. Much of the difference in...

The source he used was the one you gave . . . On 2nd point your opinion has less anecdotal validity given even just the last few higher ranked kids Tech landed who have had a difficult time getting in or staying eligible: Myles Autry; Travis Custis; Jabari Hunt-Days; and Junior Gnonkonde. It...

Then Tech is literally incomparable. ;)
