Griffin is NOT now in the portal

[MountainBuzzMan]

This is HUGE!

 

[Tech93]

He made a good decision for the short term and long term. Glad he’s staying for GT football and for himself.

 

[g0lftime]

I still think this young man has tremendous potential. Glad he is staying. He should have a lot of opportunity next year.

Does Jaquon change his mind as well then?

Always possible.

 

[LongforDodd]

Great pick up! We can use him.

 

[bos]

He had no options in the portal. Best decision was to come back. With Gibbs and Mason out, he will get at least 10-15 touches a game.

 

[GCdaJuiceMan]

He had no options in the portal.

That’s quite the blanket statement/assumption.

Definitely possible he talked to few coaches of other teams and didn’t hear what he was hoping.

 

[bobongo]

Always possible.

Man, I hope so. We need them both.

 

[GTJackets]

Come on, mods. Change that "w" to a "t" or at least to a " longer" in the title of this thread.

 

[kg01]

There's no way he didn't have interest in the portal. So glad to be able to keep him.

This is why you adults(sic) shouldn't be bashing these kids just 'cause they don't do what you want them to do.

Yeah I said it. And you know who you are.

Does Jaquon change his mind as well then?

Doubtful. He has already been here 4 years and there are two 4-star DTs coming in. His playing time was probably about to reduce and he is used to playing a lot.

Just made my day! Dontae and Griffin will be a great duo and will allow Antonio and Jamie sometime to get acclimated to P5 football. RB room looking full and packed with talent again

One last issue could be if he's a grad transfer he may not have a graduate program to head into here.

I wonder what OC Long can do with him. I was so impressed by his HS film because he really seemed to understand how his offensive scheme was set up and knew exactly how and win to find the holes. That really didn't translate here, and I suspect a good bit is schematic as well as inability to consistently execute assignments blocking.

As happy as I am for GT football, I am even more excited for Jamious long term to be a GT graduate. Great decision!

Guys the most important recruit today is Coca Cola Company. Tech better start lining up some big time Atlanta based companies to help, subsidize, pay, you pick a word our players. College football as you know it is dead.

This, we need Coke to give NIL to our SAs, we also need Wafflehouse to do the same. Waffle house should have NIL for our big boys in the trenches.

We need a GT powerade comercial that says "engineered for success in sport and beyond."

If they haven't done this already that, to me, is a fireable offense even more than the w/l record.
