another optimistic rant for those losing hope...

Well according to the AJC article....at least one recruit says we Bamboozled him...that can't be good

Well, us alumni know that MA Tech is a fickle and tricky woman...

Always wondered how she'd fare in the NIL world.

I don’t think he meant “bamboozled”. From the flow of what he’s saying, it looks more like he was dazzled or overwhelmed. (It’s also looking like he’ll flip)

If he’d been lied to or tricked, I’d expect a quote in that direction

Here is the quote

When Dinkins chose Tech in June, he felt it was imperative to lock in with a program.

“I was kind of bamboozled with it being my first [official visit]” he said. “I was really shaky on the idea and I just jumped into it.”

Or maybe he just doesn't know the meaning of "bamboozled."

But also he is trying to justify why he is flipping to Georgia. When he committed to us, UGA hadn't offered him. A lot of the men we are recruiting could go up in rankings and drawing interest from other schools. If we are recruiting promising athletes, this is going to happen.

Leo Blackburn? Yet again? Seriously?

Has King ever thrown him a single pass?

I think we need a RB that is bigger than 190 lbs and can break tackles and get yards after contact. Running JH inside the tackles too much is asking for injury even if not season ending. JH needs a crease to get yards and is really good in space. IMO Dontae made a difference last year when he got back into the rotation. We have used Pyron in a lot of goal line plays. Everyone in the stadium knew he was going to run it up the middle when he came in. He has the size needed to run it inside for short yardage. Put a big RB in there with him---- but oh yeah we don't have one.

Well … Tech does have Maddox (215 program weight), but he's hurt. Alexander was out for VT and that was a game changer, imho. He can do it inside or out and is perfect for spelling Haynes. Is he a Dontae? Well, not really (not as fast), but he's close. Hope he's healthy for da U.

Yep. Mistook "bamboozled" for "dazzled." No ill intent there, it seems.
