May 29, 2014 12:49 PM - Eric: floor is open for questions
May 29, 2014 12:53 PM - CobbTech: How do the coaches feel about Donovan Wilson? Will he pass Connors?
May 29, 2014 12:56 PM - Frenchise: Have you talked to CPJ about the loss of Custis? What implication does his loss have for our BB pipeline? What is his plan to mitigate it?
May 29, 2014 12:57 PM - Eric: CPJ has always commented on how he feels about Connors...hes high on him. They like Wilson buy my personal opinion is he stays at 3.
May 29, 2014 12:58 PM - Eric: I dont talk to CPJ...only have a handful of times. it hurts us depth wise big time for this season and next year even more. we will have to play Leggett at B and land some good ones in this class.
May 29, 2014 1:00 PM - boozinbuzz: Sorry if I missed it but any word on the second round of good news Eric mentioned?
May 29, 2014 1:02 PM - Eric: Nothing yet...not concrete that it will come through.
May 29, 2014 1:02 PM - xenoabe: Is it Football related?
May 29, 2014 1:04 PM - Eric: All i can is it is Georgia Tech related :)
May 29, 2014 1:04 PM - CobbTech: To me, the group of A-backs is lacking in playmaking ability. Days is a tough runner and a great blocker but, IMO, doesn't have the big play ability of Robbie or Orwin. Is it possible that Autry could come in and get some PT early at AB?
May 29, 2014 1:04 PM - MGTfan: Do you see any possible way that RCJ ends up back at Tech?
May 29, 2014 1:06 PM - Eric: I am of the opinion that Autry has no shot to play outsides of special teams...I think we have too many people that know the offense better and i think he needs some time in the weightroom and learn to block.
May 29, 2014 1:07 PM - Frenchise: Is Kendarius' weight really 220? Any concerns that he's too undersized to make an impact?
May 29, 2014 1:07 PM - Eric: It depends if RC has his parents involved. but i wouldn't look for it.
May 29, 2014 1:09 PM - Eric: He was 230 something a few months ago...he is simply a pass rusher. we wont see him on run downs
May 29, 2014 1:11 PM - jeffgt14: How do you think Zenon will do this year? I may be the only one who thinks he'll have a huge year.
May 29, 2014 1:11 PM - xenoabe: Any sense that if the coaching staff is in trouble if we don't hit a certain win number?
May 29, 2014 1:12 PM - Eric: Zenon has been playing well...this is the first off-season hes been healthy in awhile. i think he will be one of our top A backs this year.
May 29, 2014 1:13 PM - Frenchise: Are you saying KW won't be on the field unless it's an obvious passing situation? I don't think that's what you mean, but I don't like signalling to the offense that pressure is coming or not.
May 29, 2014 1:15 PM - Eric: I do think there is pressure on the staff this year, i dont know if there is a certain number they must reach but 7 wont cut it again.
May 29, 2014 1:16 PM - Eric: I am saying if it's 3 and 1 he wont be in.. of course on ovvious passing downs he will be in. This is a common thing.
May 29, 2014 1:19 PM - Frenchise: Thx. Attaochu was there on almost every play, so this year will have a different look.
May 29, 2014 1:20 PM - Eric: Yeah, Attaochu really had a good year. will be a interesting year on the DL.
May 29, 2014 1:22 PM - jeffgt14: You think Leggett will redshirt this year?
May 29, 2014 1:24 PM - Frenchise: Don't we need him as 2nd BB?
May 29, 2014 1:24 PM - Eric: That's a tough one. I think he should but we're going to need him so much in 2015 it might be smart to get him some snaps this year. I really dont know.
May 29, 2014 1:25 PM - Eric: Connors is second string with Wilson at 3rd.
May 29, 2014 1:27 PM - Eric: Hearing that RC Jr is likely Maryland bound.
May 29, 2014 1:28 PM - jeffgt14: If he doesn't redshirt do you think Wilson could move back to AB? I know we would still need another BB for 2015 but I also think we would need more AB's for 2015 as well and I think Wilson would make a better AB.
May 29, 2014 1:29 PM - jeffgt14: Maryland is sooooo much better than us in basketball...
May 29, 2014 1:30 PM - Eric: I think Wilson will stay at B back...he learned the A baxk role his Freshman year. i do like him at A back more.
May 29, 2014 1:31 PM - Frenchise: Eric, is CJ currently below Connors and Wilson in terms of ability?
May 29, 2014 1:31 PM - Brian Johnson: Eric any good news to share Football related gang will get us pumped for the season? It's soooooo far away
May 29, 2014 1:32 PM - Eric: Hard to judge that before he gets here....I like him better than them out of HS
May 29, 2014 1:33 PM - Eric: We just picked up a good player yesterday...and we have camp coming up soon which will help pass some time. Would expext good news from the camp.
May 29, 2014 1:39 PM - CobbTech: What's the deal with Andrews? Bizarre that he's not on the depth chart.
May 29, 2014 1:41 PM - Eric: He has been in the doghouse for awhile...he has to lesrn to be more consistent and block. has a ways to go in that area.
May 29, 2014 1:45 PM - dtm1997: Any thoughts on us having any momentum with any 2015 hoops recruits?
May 29, 2014 1:47 PM - Eric: I am very worried about the 2015 class to be honest...usually by now we have some guys we feel good on. I don't see many big recruits at all who i would say i feel good about...and from what ive been told Brown isnt happening for us. Its early but count me as worried.
May 29, 2014 1:48 PM - Eric: and personally I love Sheffield.
May 29, 2014 1:49 PM - jeffgt14: You think RC Jr's transfer might end up scaring a lot of recruits away?
May 29, 2014 1:49 PM - GTrob21: Eric, do you think with a sub year in Bball that we would be looking at making a change?
May 29, 2014 1:49 PM - kg01: Seems we're already on plan B's in terms of '15 bball recruiting.
May 29, 2014 1:50 PM - dtm1997: We don't even appear to be recruiting Sheffield at all at this point. Seems like N'Diaye is working Florida hard and there's a ton of talent down there, but all seem highly competitive situations.
May 29, 2014 1:52 PM - Eric: No i dont this his transfer will be a issue.
May 29, 2014 1:52 PM - Eric: if we tank this year then i would not be surprised.
May 29, 2014 1:53 PM - Eric: Yeah i don't understand....its early though and hopefully i am wrong.
May 29, 2014 1:55 PM - Jacket Bracket: Back to Wilson. I would think he passes Connors at some point during the year for 2nd string. Your thoughts on that?
May 29, 2014 1:55 PM - GTrob21: Eric who do you think will be the next commit for GT
May 29, 2014 1:56 PM - dtm1997: I'm not sure we're on to plan B's in hoops just yet, but I do think we're entering the fray late on a lot of top kids we should have either identified or offered earlier. Don't get me started on Malik Beasley.
May 29, 2014 1:57 PM - Eric: I actually don't think he does. Connors has game experience and is a senior. I think he stays at 2.
May 29, 2014 1:57 PM - CobbTech: Think Jeune get any significant PT this year?
May 29, 2014 1:57 PM - Eric: Someome soon at camp...Maybe TaQuan Marshall.
May 29, 2014 1:58 PM - Eric: Will never understand what was the holdup with Malik... with as late we waited to offer we might have well not even offered.
May 29, 2014 1:59 PM - Eric: I expect Waller, Summers and Waller as the main three. I think he will get sometime but not a ton. I expect him to be a starter in 2015.
May 29, 2014 2:00 PM - Jacket Bracket: what's the latest on Logan Hunt?
May 29, 2014 2:00 PM - gtguy: Any other Football transfers on the way?
May 29, 2014 2:02 PM - Jacket Bracket: Didn't we also have a running back that committed but lacked the grades?
May 29, 2014 2:02 PM - dtm1997: Agree. Head coach favorable to GT supposedly, local kid, lit it up all year. Don't offer until he gets 8 offers the same weekend and jumps 100 spots in the 247 rankings.
May 29, 2014 2:03 PM - Eric: Logan messaged me yesterday to check on camp dates, hes going to try and make a camp.
May 29, 2014 2:03 PM - Eric: Ive posted in the forum tbere is a chance for one more....i put it at 50/50
May 29, 2014 2:03 PM - Eric: Yeah...Shannon Brooks.
May 29, 2014 2:04 PM - Jacket Bracket: Is he slowing down his recruitment? Thought he would have committed by now
May 29, 2014 2:04 PM - Jacket Bracket: Is Shannon still in the picture for us?
May 29, 2014 2:05 PM - Eric: He still needs a better SAT score. He is stikl being recruited.
May 29, 2014 2:05 PM - Eric: Logan has always said he wont commit until Mom sees the school.
May 29, 2014 2:06 PM - Jacket Bracket: Thanks Eric as always, I really appreciate your time. GREAT site man!!
May 29, 2014 2:06 PM - Eric: It just seems nothing is going right our way in basketball.
May 29, 2014 2:06 PM - Eric: thank you! wouldn't be here without good members.
May 29, 2014 2:09 PM - gtguy: What do your sources report for Pat Gamble to see 1st playing time .Areas to improve?

May 29, 2014 at 2:10 PM - gtguy: First Team playing time !!.
May 29, 2014 at 2:11 PM - Eric: The main thing they wanted from Gamble is for him to add on weight so he could play inside...when he was healthy he had a very good scrimmage. I think he could play some SDE on run downs with the first time.
May 29, 2014 at 2:13 PM - dtm1997: Agree on hoops. Really unfortunate.
May 29, 2014 at 2:13 PM - gtguy: Thanks
May 29, 2014 at 2:16 PM - gtguy: Center seems to be a question mark.Please list our 5 starting OL as of today.Options for the Center positions .Thanks in advance
May 29, 2014 at 2:17 PM - jeffgt14: Center is a strength!
May 29, 2014 at 2:17 PM - dtm1997: Burden & O'Reilly at C, correct?
May 29, 2014 at 2:21 PM - gtguy: The strong defensive lines controlled our Center in 2012 and 2013.We were small vs the DT.
May 29, 2014 at 2:21 PM - Eric: LT Chris Griffin, LG Trey Braun, C Freddie Burden, RG Shaq Mason, RT Chamberlain
May 29, 2014 at 2:22 PM - Eric: Burden and O'Reily at C.
May 29, 2014 at 2:24 PM - danny daniel: Anybody know why Joe played LT all Spring and then was moved on the depth chart to RT? Maybe coaches expecting more rotation on the RT side?
May 29, 2014 at 2:27 PM - dtm1997: Is anyone else on board with calling Shamire Devine the "King of Pancakes"? Because he'll be flattening people, not because he's going to eat more pancakes than everyone else. Pretty sure he's my new favorite player.
May 29, 2014 at 2:28 PM - Eric: Because we feel more comfortable with Chris Griffin at LT than Chamberlain at RT.
May 29, 2014 at 2:31 PM - gtguy: Hope Devine can follow Shaq @RG in 2015.Dreaming for Devine to be the next All American Center for us .Stopping the Dive with him up front would be fun to watch.t
May 29, 2014 at 2:33 PM - jeffgt14: Are you as worried about SDE with Stargell as most people here are? I’m more worried about WDE. I love Freeman but I’m not sure we have anybody there that can play the run.
May 29, 2014 at 2:35 PM - Eric: Nah not as much. I think we will find somethint that works at SDE..
May 29, 2014 at 2:53 PM - GT_Johnnybodkin: I really like the switch to 4-2-5.. i think we have some good talent at db
May 29, 2014 at 2:54 PM - GT_Johnnybodkin: I'm excited in general for our defense. first time i've thought that in forever
May 29, 2014 at 2:54 PM - GT_Johnnybodkin: Our offense tho- that's another story... smh
May 29, 2014 at 2:54 PM - Eric: yeah we seem to eb moving in the right direction on defense.
May 29, 2014 at 3:03 PM - CobbTech: Do you have a record prediction for this season?
May 29, 2014 at 3:35 PM - Eric: my prediction is 8-4.
