Jul 26, 2014 1:32 PM - Eric: Good Saturday everyone.
Jul 26, 2014 1:32 PM - Eric: Less than a week till camp :D
Jul 26, 2014 1:32 PM - Longestday: Welcome to the best GT site on the internet!!!!
Jul 26, 2014 1:33 PM - Eric: haha thanks, we work the hardest I can at least say that (y)
Jul 26, 2014 1:33 PM - CuseJacket: Eric, what position is Lundie being recruited for?
Jul 26, 2014 1:33 PM - Longestday: I was watching our last two games last year.... Days had some very good runs and receptions
Jul 26, 2014 1:33 PM - Longestday: Andrews was really doing good on Kickoff returns too!
Jul 26, 2014 1:34 PM - DuckGT: Saint-Armor make it today?
Jul 26, 2014 1:34 PM - Eric: Days is a good player, although he seems to get in his own way a lot of times. I think he will have a good season.
Jul 26, 2014 1:34 PM - Eric: Anree did make it, he is still here. Or was as of 20 minutes ago.
Jul 26, 2014 1:34 PM - Longestday: I see what you see
Jul 26, 2014 1:35 PM - Longestday: But, I hope he can get his feet more underneath him...
Jul 26, 2014 1:35 PM - DuckGT: Glad to hear he made it. Hopefully he comes away impressed.
Jul 26, 2014 1:35 PM - Eric: Yeah hope so as well...I really like him, as does Ted Roof.
Jul 26, 2014 1:36 PM - Longestday: Can you tell us a little about what to expect with Chris Griffen...
Jul 26, 2014 1:36 PM - Eric: I expect Chris to have a good year, as you all know I am one of his biggest fans. I am sure there will be some growing pains...But honestly I expect him to be one of our best lineman.
Jul 26, 2014 1:39 PM - DuckGT: Do we have a name for the extra DB in our 4-2-5 formation? I think it was called the wolf back under Wommack.
Jul 26, 2014 1:40 PM - Eric: I do not know of a name.
Jul 26, 2014 1:41 PM - DuckGT: I think Noble can do really well at that spot.
Jul 26, 2014 1:41 PM - Longestday: Any new news on the incoming freshman
Jul 26, 2014 1:42 PM - Eric: I like Noble more than most, good player.
Jul 26, 2014 1:42 PM - Eric: Won't be any news on them until camp starts...and then likely wont be too much then. I know they are all finishing up Summer classes now.
Jul 26, 2014 1:43 PM - DuckGT: I guess the ship has sailed for Almonzo since he didnt show up?
Jul 26, 2014 1:44 PM - Eric: I am not sure on Almonzo, I do not expect him at GT though. Just a guess.-
Jul 26, 2014 1:45 PM - TampaGT: Any position changes for the incoming freshman?
Jul 26, 2014 1:45 PM - DuckGT: Who are some other Aback targets?
Jul 26, 2014 1:47 PM - Tempest_12: Eric can you post what you think the depth chart will be?
Jul 26, 2014 1:47 PM - Eric: wont know anything on the Fr until camp.
Jul 26, 2014 1:48 PM - Longestday: Only one team has an open week before GT (Duke)
Jul 26, 2014 1:48 PM - Eric: I am not sure where they like Lundie at, I assume he is an A back...I know they are still after Keyston Fuller
Jul 26, 2014 1:49 PM - Tempest_12: You sure UNC doesn't have two bye weeks before us?
Jul 26, 2014 1:50 PM - Longestday: UNC plays ND before us...
Jul 26, 2014 1:50 PM - Eric: I will post a two deep sometime.
Jul 26, 2014 1:51 PM - Eric: I think Clemson, Tulane and Pitt play on Thursday before facing us.
Jul 26, 2014 1:52 PM - BainbridgeJacket: -
Jul 26, 2014 1:52 PM - Longestday: correct... but better than a week off right?
Jul 26, 2014 1:53 PM - DuckGT: If we miss on Anree will we go after Marquis Price pretty hard or are we already trying to get him to switch
Jul 26, 2014 1:57 PM - AnalogKid: Has the Campbell finished with his visit to LSU? Are they still in the mix for him?
Jul 26, 2014 1:58 PM - Eric: Definitely better than a whole week.
Jul 26, 2014 1:59 PM - Eric: I dont see us landing Price, Not sure where we go after Anree. We would take Strowbridge at anytime.
Jul 26, 2014 1:59 PM - Eric: I think Campbell is still at LSU, they have not offered as far as I know.
Jul 26, 2014 2:00 PM - GTNavyNuke: What is up with the Morgan twins?
Jul 26, 2014 2:00 PM - Eric: What do you mean?
Jul 26, 2014 2:03 PM - danny daniel: What time does fan day start next Saturday?
Jul 26, 2014 2:04 PM - Eric: http://www.ramblinwreck.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/072514aaa.html
Jul 26, 2014 2:04 PM - GTNavyNuke: Did the Morgan twins get offers?
Jul 26, 2014 2:04 PM - thagooseisloose: they committed yesterday....
Jul 26, 2014 2:05 PM - Eric: We broke the news yesterday that the Morgans twins committed to GT.
Jul 26, 2014 2:05 PM - GTNavyNuke: Thanks, I'll go back and check. We have too much of a revolving door this year.
Jul 26, 2014 2:06 PM - Eric: and if you missed that you may have missed that WR Brandon Singleton committed as well.
Jul 26, 2014 2:06 PM - GTNavyNuke: I would think losing 13 players to other than graduation is a record.
Jul 26, 2014 2:06 PM - AnalogKid: That fan day sounds much nicer than the past
Jul 26, 2014 2:07 PM - Eric: It has to be up there.
Jul 26, 2014 2:07 PM - scotts: We have 17 commits. How many more do you think we will take?
Jul 26, 2014 2:07 PM - GTNavyNuke: Thanks, I saw Singleton. I'm on a small tsblet computer on the road and it's confusing. I have no idea how people manage with cell phones.....
Jul 26, 2014 2:07 PM - Eric: 8 or 9.
Jul 26, 2014 2:08 PM - scotts: Thank you! You are doing an outstanding job.
Jul 26, 2014 2:08 PM - GTNavyNuke: How many will we have on the roster come the end of August would you guess?
Jul 26, 2014 2:09 PM - Eric: Thanks man. About the same as now, 76 or so.
Jul 26, 2014 2:10 PM - OldJacketFan: Eric, who are the remaining OL targets?
Jul 26, 2014 2:11 PM - Eric: Not a clue...dont think they will take one till later. I know Zach Baker visited yesterday...They may end up having Scott at OL.
Jul 26, 2014 2:11 PM - OldJacketFan: and any updates on Fennell?
Jul 26, 2014 2:12 PM - OldJacketFan: So if Scott slides over to OL they will take another DT (assuming Glanton commits)?
Jul 26, 2014 2:12 PM - Eric: Have not heard anything from Fennell...or asked about him.
Jul 26, 2014 2:13 PM - Eric: They could...Or they could just take a DE like Amour and then have Henderson, Glanton and Sellers as the DT's in this class assuming they land Glanton...I personally think Scott will start out at DT..I am just guessing we will take another OL. They could use that spot somewhere else but my gut says OL.
Jul 26, 2014 2:14 PM - OldJacketFan: Baker would not be a bad option at all.
Jul 26, 2014 2:14 PM - Longestday: Sure hope some of the freshman are so good they can't keep them off the field
Jul 26, 2014 2:15 PM - Eric: I like Baker but we werent in his last top 10...was surprised to see him here yesterday. Maybe we made a impression.
Jul 26, 2014 2:15 PM - Eric: I know some Fr will be playing.
Jul 26, 2014 2:17 PM - Eric: Could be 2 Cb's now.

Jul 26, 2014 at 2:19 PM - Drew4Tech: If Campbell didn't stick, do you think we would go after another QB/Ath to replace him?
Jul 26, 2014 at 2:19 PM - OldJacketFan: I am really looking forward to seeing C.J. Leggett, I think he could be a special player
Jul 26, 2014 at 2:19 PM - Eric: Good question Drew....I do think so, I think we would find another ATH like him that would try QB first.
Jul 26, 2014 at 2:19 PM - Longestday: I would like to see what CJ has too... Just a lot to learn in a month
Jul 26, 2014 at 2:20 PM - thagooseisloose: eric, I've seen you say more than once that cpj asked for help in the recruiting office long before he got it. was that a former AD issue?
Jul 26, 2014 at 2:21 PM - Drew4Tech: Still think Custis is a a longshot to be back at Tech?
Jul 26, 2014 at 2:22 PM - Eric: All I know is CPJ asked for recruiting help in the office and it was denied.
Jul 26, 2014 at 2:22 PM - Eric: I do, I do not see Custis at GT
Jul 26, 2014 at 2:23 PM - Drew4Tech: Is that all because of academics?
Jul 26, 2014 at 2:25 PM - Eric: That has to have some impact in it.
Jul 26, 2014 at 2:26 PM - TampaGT: Did CPJ get everything he asked for in the recruiting office or is this just a compromise?
Jul 26, 2014 at 2:26 PM - Eric: I do not know the specifics of what he wanted.
Jul 26, 2014 at 2:27 PM - thagooseisloose: well, whatever he got...it seems to be working...
Jul 26, 2014 at 2:27 PM - Eric: Waggoner, Kalif and Hurt is what we have.
Jul 26, 2014 at 2:28 PM - thagooseisloose: isn't hamilton in there too?
Jul 26, 2014 at 2:28 PM - Drew4Tech: Who do you like as the best underrated commit we have so far?
Jul 26, 2014 at 2:29 PM - Eric: yeah correct.
Jul 26, 2014 at 2:29 PM - Drew4Tech: Without any insider knowledge whatsoever, I am going with Trent Sellers
Jul 26, 2014 at 2:31 PM - Longestday: Can't wait to see what we look like this year in the run game....
Jul 26, 2014 at 2:31 PM - Eric: I will go with Aj Gray
Jul 26, 2014 at 2:31 PM - dtm1997: Ironic that the AD that treated hoops like a second hand citizen wasn't willing to invest in resources to improve football. Thanks for the facilities though.
Jul 26, 2014 at 2:33 PM - Drew4Tech: I hope Devine comes on strong and finds a spot. Would love to see the effect of that on the running game..
Jul 26, 2014 at 2:34 PM - dtm1997: I'm also hopeful the King of Pancakes makes his presence felt this year.
Jul 26, 2014 at 2:42 PM - CuseJacket: Zach Baker committed to Duke
Jul 26, 2014 at 2:43 PM - OldJacketFan: that didn't take long :ROFLMAO:
Jul 26, 2014 at 2:44 PM - OldJacketFan: Speaking of Shamire, can he be ready to go day 1 and let Trey slide out to T?
Jul 26, 2014 at 2:44 PM - Eric: haha ironic....
Jul 26, 2014 at 2:45 PM - Eric: I dont think so...but thats jmo
Jul 26, 2014 at 2:50 PM - CuseJacket: My theory on Christian Campbell... if LSU sees him as a fringe offer and they know he'll flip, there's no reason to offer him now. They'd wait until Jan/Feb.
Jul 26, 2014 at 2:51 PM - Eric: yeah they know they can get him whenever they want him.
Jul 26, 2014 at 2:51 PM - CuseJacket: That puts GT in a much tougher spot, so I'm not sure it's the best strategy for GT to even keep him as a verbal.
Jul 26, 2014 at 2:53 PM - danny daniel: With Griffin out for two games will it be Durham/Austin/Austin off the bench first or do you think Roof will move a veteran over such as Noble?
Jul 26, 2014 at 2:59 PM - Eric: White and Milton will start.
Jul 26, 2014 at 3:00 PM - Eric: I agree Cuse.
Jul 26, 2014 at 3:00 PM - thagooseisloose: i say keep his commit, just recruit like he isn't committed...
Jul 26, 2014 at 3:01 PM - CuseJacket: i agree
Jul 26, 2014 at 3:02 PM - danny daniel: I should have asked : with White and Milton starting andh Griffin out for 2 weeks will Freshmen be forst off the bench or will Roof Move a veteran like Noble over to backup corner?
Jul 26, 2014 at 3:03 PM - Eric: I think we will try to stick with Durham and one of the Austins.
Jul 26, 2014 at 3:03 PM - Eric: I think we will try to stick with Durham and one of the Austins.
Jul 26, 2014 at 3:05 PM - chrsw003: I was really wanting to land Cooper yesterday, do you still like are chances with him?
Jul 26, 2014 at 3:07 PM - Eric: I do not know what to think of Cooper, if he keeps messing around he is going to miss the boat.
Jul 26, 2014 at 3:08 PM - Eric: I will say 18 isn't too far away...give it a few days.
Jul 26, 2014 at 3:12 PM - Longestday: CPJ seems to be setting up retirement? Will he stay on if he wins 8 this year?
Jul 26, 2014 at 3:12 PM - Eric: Only CPJ knows that, he does not have long left though.
Jul 26, 2014 at 3:14 PM - Longestday: "not long left" in order to win more? or to retire?
Jul 26, 2014 at 3:15 PM - Longestday: sorry hard headed: )
Jul 26, 2014 at 3:15 PM - Eric: really both haha
Jul 26, 2014 at 3:16 PM - danny daniel: In the Spring Freshmen Freeman and to some extent Jordan got some attention but Durham seemed to fly under the radar. Do you have any info from how the coaches feel about his performance/progress?
Jul 26, 2014 at 3:17 PM - Longestday: I would love to see him win big before he retires...
Jul 26, 2014 at 3:17 PM - Longestday: Durham has the higher ceiling but they feel the twins might start at a higher level...
Jul 26, 2014 at 3:17 PM - Longestday: At least that is what I hear...
Jul 26, 2014 at 3:25 PM - Eric: That is just a guess by someone... no way to know that until we get to see them.
Jul 26, 2014 at 4:24 PM - thebull35: Eric how long was the thing with Anthony hanging in the wind? and was that the reason why you kept saying you are uneasy about Myles?
Jul 26, 2014 at 4:25 PM - Eric: It wasn't that long, only a few days. No, I just never had a good gut feeling on Myles. Just knew it wouldnt work out
Jul 26, 2014 at 4:49 PM - thagooseisloose: any reason to worry about Whitehead?
Jul 26, 2014 at 5:09 PM - Eric: Yes, he still has to do good on finals.
Jul 26, 2014 at 5:24 PM - midga fan: That would be a big blow if whitehead doesn't make it.
Jul 26, 2014 at 5:28 PM - motynes: So do we know what happened with the 3 that got kicked out?
Jul 26, 2014 at 5:30 PM - motynes: There was tha cryptic post about Lynn being upset and he just got caught up hanging with wrong people or something. Confused the heck outa me. I just assumed they all failed drug test and the 3 that got kicked out was their 3rd
Jul 26, 2014 at 5:37 PM - Eric: That is something that is up to them to release the info on...dont want to speculate or post anything of that nature on them.
Jul 26, 2014 at 5:57 PM - Drew4Tech: Here is a game to put on your calendar if you live anywhere near Douglasville - Friday, Nov 7th - Alexandar (Mikell Lands-Davis) @ New Manchester (Omarhi Jarrett)
Jul 26, 2014 at 6:00 PM - Eric: Jarrett also helped recruit Lands-Davis to GT :)
