Georgia Tech Coach Paul Johnson calls early signing period ‘win-win’

[GTFLETCH]

Tech has allocated all 85 scholarships for the 2018-19 academic year, a rarity for the Yellow Jackets. Often, Tech has had committed players poached by other teams as the February signing day approached, leaving coaches scrambling to try to find replacements. Tech coaches have likewise done similarly, trying to nab prospects who had committed elsewhere.

“I think it’s been great,” Johnson said. “I think it’s a win-win for everybody. Certainly there was a lot less drama, at least for us. It enables you to hit your number of 85 (scholarships) much easier. It lets you know where you’re at.”

Cuts down a lot of the BSing, which advantages coaches known for being honest and straightforward.

Not surprising that Johnson likes the new system.

Recruiting is like herding cats. It's easier when you have 90% of the cats already in the pen.

BTW, I hear CPJ doesn't like cats.

I think the major thing for CPJ is that it cuts down the time for negative recruiting against us.

This might be the best description of recruiting I have ever seen

Recruiting is like deer hunting because you never know how many you're going to bag each season
