Jul 24, 2014 1:15 PM - Eric: News on Myles coming soon it looks like.
Jul 24, 2014 1:16 PM - jeffgt14: Doesn't sound like he's coming here
Jul 24, 2014 1:17 PM - Fredge: Good or bad...or does it depend?
Jul 24, 2014 1:17 PM - Eric: only Myles knows that.
Jul 24, 2014 1:18 PM - Fredge: Eric, do yo think CPJ wants him still?
Jul 24, 2014 1:18 PM - Eric: I also think CPJ is doing ESPN things today, so not sure where the meet up is going to happen.
Jul 24, 2014 1:19 PM - Eric: I would guess so but I am sure he understands both sides of the coin. I can tell you that there are a few at GT who think it is better if he doesnt come to Tech.
Jul 24, 2014 1:22 PM - Fredge: Is there any road back for the 3 that were dismissed?
Jul 24, 2014 1:22 PM - Eric: No definitely not.
Jul 24, 2014 1:23 PM - Eric: You guys feel free to answer any recruiting or team questions...I will answer what I know or give my best guess.
Jul 24, 2014 1:23 PM - Old School: A few at GT meaning the coaches, players, or both who think it's better if he doesn't come?
Jul 24, 2014 1:23 PM - jacketjp: Do we know why Scott Morgan insisted on going to the Vanderbilt camp today? Seems odd given that much of his recruitment seems to be due to his brother's talent and his brother is ready to commit to GT.
Jul 24, 2014 1:24 PM - jeffgt14: When the heck it Brentavious gonna commit!?
Jul 24, 2014 1:24 PM - Eric: I dont want to go into to much detail on that..just a few people at GT that I talked to this morning.
Jul 24, 2014 1:25 PM - Eric: Scott has always wanted to visit around and plus they had this camp planned for over a month according to Brad. They also already paid for it.
Jul 24, 2014 1:26 PM - Eric: @jeffgt14 who the heck knows...I was told by one of our coaches and one of our commits that he LOVES the attention so he could stretch it out. He really likes the Twitter attention he is getting.
Jul 24, 2014 1:27 PM - danny daniel: Are Harrell and Jeune healthwise srarting camp on time
Jul 24, 2014 1:27 PM - jeffgt14: Makes sense. I don't even think he's on anyone elses radar anymore.
Jul 24, 2014 1:28 PM - Eric: Jeune is good to go...Harrell should be ready about a week into camp.
Jul 24, 2014 1:28 PM - DaddyBill: Eric, so you feel like more freshmen are going to be playing this year to even out the numbers due to the loses?
Jul 24, 2014 1:28 PM - Eric: @DaddyBill without a doubt. I posted that same thing yesterday.
Jul 24, 2014 1:29 PM - DaddyBill: I saw that, so I wanted to make sure....lol
Jul 24, 2014 1:29 PM - Eric: Haha yeah...CPJ has said that if a guy can help on all special teams then to play him.
Jul 24, 2014 1:30 PM - DallasBuzzFan: If Whitehead isn't able to report until after August 8th, will he have a realistic chance to break the 2 deep? Do you expect him to anyway?
Jul 24, 2014 1:30 PM - jeffgt14: You think Qua definitely stays at WR now since we lost Autry?
Jul 24, 2014 1:30 PM - danny daniel: Is Klock O or D ? Maybe camp will decide?
Jul 24, 2014 1:30 PM - Eric: Yeah coaches seem intent on him being a WR.
Jul 24, 2014 1:30 PM - IronJacket7: I am assuming that with the loss of Commissiong that there is no chance if there ever was any of Gotsis getting to play some SDE....?
Jul 24, 2014 1:30 PM - Eric: He came to Tech as a OL, we will find out for sure next week. IMO we need to move him to DT.
Jul 24, 2014 1:31 PM - Eric: I think it is slim, Could seem Gamble slide over to SDE some.
Jul 24, 2014 1:32 PM - wingsrlevel: What's the chances of Chaz Cheeks stepping up and getting some PT this year?
Jul 24, 2014 1:32 PM - Eric: I was told that if Chaz seems game action we are in big trouble fwiw.
Jul 24, 2014 1:35 PM - chrsw003: Still expecting cooper to commit tomorrow?
Jul 24, 2014 1:35 PM - wingsrlevel: Damn...not good. This is his 4th year in the program and he has yet to make a contribution. I'm not sure if he playedspecial teams.
Jul 24, 2014 1:36 PM - Eric: Yeah, I think he will commit tomorrow. If he is smart he will. Coaches think he will too fwiw.
Jul 24, 2014 1:36 PM - Eric: Things have not progressed well with Chaz, lets hope the light clicks on.
Jul 24, 2014 1:37 PM - danny daniel: Do we still think Eason will get elgibility this season and if so is he a candidate for RT D1 ?
Jul 24, 2014 1:37 PM - Fredge: Is Evyn 4-star on some services? Impressive offer list
Jul 24, 2014 1:37 PM - Eric: We just sent out a new offer...give me a second to post thread and i will be back
Jul 24, 2014 1:38 PM - IronJacket7: d*** it! Eric left us....
Jul 24, 2014 1:38 PM - Eric: im back lol
Jul 24, 2014 1:38 PM - Eric: We do think he will...and I would say second team is more likely his ceiling. He has to learn the offense.
Jul 24, 2014 1:38 PM - Longestday: Zack posted a picture jimbo_1up... Does anyone know his name?
Jul 24, 2014 1:39 PM - Eric: That offer list for Evyn is not correct.
Jul 24, 2014 1:53 PM - bat_082994: I've heard rumors of Anthony Harrell possibly moving to DE. Any truth to those rumors that you know of?
Jul 24, 2014 1:59 PM - Eric: I have posted about that on here before...He will play a hybrid role. He could get some snaps at DE but he is still at LB
Jul 24, 2014 1:59 PM - bat_082994: OK thanks Eric!
Jul 24, 2014 2:00 PM - Eric: Yes sir.
Jul 24, 2014 2:01 PM - IronJacket7: I used to wish Kelley Rhino was used in a hybrid role... Punt Returner and DT. Kid was a beast!
Jul 24, 2014 2:02 PM - SidewalkJacket: I know of at least one player who spoke very supportive of how Coach handled the recent dismissals. Do you feel like the bulk of our main guys (leaders and contributors) are on board with the high standards that the staff has? All organizations have some division among the ranks, but what's your overall feel?
Jul 24, 2014 2:04 PM - CTJacket: Great question, SidewalkJacket
Jul 24, 2014 2:04 PM - Eric: Yes without a doubt, I talked to one this morning who absolutely laid in to Darius Commissiong. They felt it was the right move...That guy is a leader so I think many would feel the same way.
Jul 24, 2014 2:05 PM - CTJacket: Thanks, Eric. This is really good to know. It definitely makes me feel right about the leadership both on the team and with CPJ, CTR, etc.
Jul 24, 2014 2:06 PM - SidewalkJacket: This same guy told me last year that many of our offensive players (especially some of the younger guys) understood that our passing game was totally predicated on our ability to execute our run game. He was high on JT as well. He told me after the dismissals that this has brought the team closer together.
Jul 24, 2014 2:07 PM - SidewalkJacket: i know those were totally seperate thoughts in that last post
Jul 24, 2014 2:07 PM - Eric: Yeah just hurts the depth. The player I talked to is honest with me..he loves JT and he also commented that this is the closest knit that he has been on at Tech.
Jul 24, 2014 2:08 PM - SidewalkJacket: what i gathered from him was that there was "division" last year among "some" on offense, and that seems to be gone now
Jul 24, 2014 2:08 PM - Eric: I was told the same thing this morning lol, weird.
Jul 24, 2014 2:08 PM - jeffgt14: I bet y'all are talking to the same player
Jul 24, 2014 2:08 PM - DallasBuzzFan: Preddy played both ways in HS and seemed to be pretty good on defense. Any chance they may slide him over to DT?
Jul 24, 2014 2:09 PM - Eric: Preddy doesnt have the frame for a DT. If he did play defense it would be as a DE.
Jul 24, 2014 2:10 PM - Eric: lol sounds like it.
Jul 24, 2014 2:13 PM - DallasBuzzFan: He is listed on the roster now at 6-3 270, and is just a true freshman. I was thinking maybe he could grow in to it. We just seem so thin there now, i would think they have to be looking at a couple of people to move
Jul 24, 2014 2:14 PM - jeffgt14: Or another conspiracy! Maybe SidewalkJacket… is that player! Alright but serious question, you think the fact that some of these players thought CPJ did the right thing is the reason some may not want Myles to come?
Jul 24, 2014 2:14 PM - Eric: Preddy just isn't a DT...They are looking at all options. Obvious one is Klock.
Jul 24, 2014 2:21 PM - daBuzz: Coaches really like JT as well but one of the non-offensive coaches told me that the entire coaching staff is "concerned" about Justin's tendency to put the ball on the ground. He said that Byerly may end up getting playing time this season for just that reason if JT doesn't "clean that up".
Jul 24, 2014 2:21 PM - sl1m75: just wanted to thank Eric for keeping us up to date on everything GT Football related
Jul 24, 2014 2:24 PM - CTJacket: Hear-hear! Thanks, Eric!!!
Jul 24, 2014 2:32 PM - SidewalkJacket: totally legit concern with JT's fumbles... just remember how many times the ball hit the ground in practices and games with JfN. We got some very fortunate bounces in some of the biggest games of all.
Jul 24, 2014 2:35 PM - ramblinvak: From what I remember after the season ended, many people on here posted that it wasn't JT's fumbles that concerned them it was him trying to force each play and pitching when it would be safer just to go down. It really hard to examine TBs fumbling problems due to the spring game being in a monsoon...
Jul 24, 2014 1:16 PM - jeffgt14: Doesn't sound like he's coming here
Jul 24, 2014 1:17 PM - Fredge: Good or bad...or does it depend?
