Dec 9, 2014 7:57 AM - Eric: Any update on potential DL prospects would be great
Dec 9, 2014 7:58 AM - Eric: Re DL Prospects.... Our top DL prospect at this time is DE Anree Saint Amour and he will be visiting this weekend...this is a key weekend for us with him.
Dec 9, 2014 7:59 AM - Eric: Q : why did divine not play as much in the last two games. I know he had an injury but I thought he would've played more against UGA and FSU?
Dec 9, 2014 8:00 AM - Eric: A: I think injury is the reason he was held back against uga and the coaches really feel like Braun has been playing well overall...so they have been keeping him in.
Dec 9, 2014 8:01 AM - Eric: Q: did CJ Legget come Close To losing his redshirt? How far or close was he behind days
Dec 9, 2014 8:03 AM - Eric: A: He came very close one time...the thing that kept the redshirt on was Connors showing he could be a good backup...They felt he wasnt ready but he has the talent to play. don't think he was too close to Days at this point.
Dec 9, 2014 8:03 AM - Eric: Q: Any update on the no named DT
Dec 9, 2014 8:04 AM - Eric: A: No update, will say it's unlikely.
Dec 9, 2014 8:04 AM - Eric: Q: Any info on cpj contract in terms of additional resources/ extra things that he was asking for
Dec 9, 2014 8:05 AM - Eric: A: All I was told is that he got what he wanted, i don't know specifics.
Dec 9, 2014 8:06 AM - Eric: Q: 1. How many more spots do we have left to offer?
Dec 9, 2014 8:06 AM - Eric: A: We have TWO spots open as of today...that is all. that's counting Jabari and JJ Green on scholarship.
Dec 9, 2014 8:14 AM - Eric: 2. Do we have any big time guys in the works that we have a shot at?
Dec 9, 2014 8:16 AM - Eric: A: For me, Anree Saint Amour is elite...i think hes one of the best DEs in the nation.
Dec 9, 2014 8:17 AM - Eric: Q: Given the off season attrition of 2014, is Paul thinking of over signing for 2015
Dec 9, 2014 8:18 AM - Eric: A: NO, CPJ is never going to blantly oversign
Dec 9, 2014 8:19 AM - Eric: Q: Why has Zenons number of carries dropped so much the last few games?
Dec 9, 2014 8:20 AM - Eric: A: I think with us losing Days at A Back, we've had to count on him to block more than others...that and we tried to use him in the passing game.
Dec 9, 2014 8:22 AM - Eric: Q: but do you think he (Legget) is the player we are most counting on to carry the B-back load next year?
Dec 9, 2014 8:23 AM - Eric: A: Yes, without a doubt. CJ is the guy heading into Spring that we will be counting on...he's going to have a lot more experience and reps than others. his job to lose.
Dec 9, 2014 8:24 AM - Eric: Q: what impact do we see this season having on the 2016 recruiting class
Dec 9, 2014 8:25 AM - Eric: A: It helps, but not a ton IMO. What helps is sustained success. we need to go out and put a couple of more 9 and 10 win seasons together and then you would see a bigger impact.
Dec 9, 2014 8:26 AM - Eric: Q: ? Are more impact athletes considering GT after the positive press received this week?
Dec 9, 2014 8:26 AM - Eric: A: As i said above it takes more than short term success to make a impact like that...don't get me wrong. it helps.
Dec 9, 2014 8:27 AM - Eric: Q: Is there concern about any student-athletes with eligibility leaving after the semester/season?
Dec 9, 2014 8:28 AM - Eric: A: There will always be players that leave, it happens every year ay every school. We will see a couple.
Dec 9, 2014 8:28 AM - Eric: Q: What do you expect from Jhd in the bowl game and what changes on the dl will we see because of him playing
Dec 9, 2014 8:30 AM - Eric: A: Assuming all goes well with his finals this week...I think they will kind of ease him into playing time in the bowl game. I expect Gotsis and Green to start and then we could see JHD come off the bench...I think he will do well. Game reps are needed for him.
Dec 9, 2014 10:56 AM - MonroeJacket: Can we expect more carries fOR Willis in the OB?
Dec 9, 2014 11:04 AM - kg01: Has the success made GT a desirable transfer-in option? We don't seem to have a ton of space but I'm always curious about that
Dec 9, 2014 11:06 AM - Eric: @MonroeJacket That is something I can't know, depends on how bad the Zenon injury is. Willis is more of a blocker at this point.
Dec 9, 2014 11:07 AM - Eric: @kg01 I don't think it's changed much, kids just gets their eyes opened when they get to a college and kinda figure out that GT wasnt so bad all along.
Dec 9, 2014 11:08 AM - flounder: How do you feel about the QB position in this class? Ratliffe and Campbell may never play at GT and Gray wants to play Safety. Is there a plan B?
Dec 9, 2014 11:09 AM - danny daniel: Any info on Lynch progress and is he in the running for PT at AB? I know he got a slow start from Fall injury but how is he now doing?
Dec 9, 2014 11:09 AM - Chris Freeman: Any news on other potential transfers?
Dec 9, 2014 11:10 AM - Eric: @flounder I think we will be fine...AJ Gray is a safety IMO we would play Taquon at QB before him...Coaches still feel good on Campbell. i actually asked a coach about this and they said they feel good about the QB spot and if CC was to decommit we likely wouldnt take another QB.
Dec 9, 2014 11:10 AM - flounder: Thanks!
Dec 9, 2014 11:11 AM - mqpayne: I am still curious about the future of Marcus Allen. maybe back to BB this spring?
Dec 9, 2014 11:11 AM - Eric: @danny Clinton is on the scout team right now, so not too much practicing at the A Back spot...His PT next year will be decided by his camp performances.
Dec 9, 2014 11:11 AM - Eric: @Chris Freeman likely wont be anymore as we only have two open scholarships.
Dec 9, 2014 11:12 AM - BabyJacket1990: Who is the most likely to step in help out right away ?
Dec 9, 2014 11:12 AM - Eric: @mqpayne that would be my guess...makes sense to me.
Dec 9, 2014 11:12 AM - Eric: @BabyJacket1990 at what spot?
Dec 9, 2014 11:16 AM - BabyJacket1990: RB. What recruit is the most best option to play a lot in 15.
Dec 9, 2014 11:17 AM - Madison Grant: What's the word on how Matt Jordan is making the transition to under center/option?
Dec 9, 2014 11:17 AM - Eric: @BabyJacket1990 I will go with Quaide, i think he ends up as our #2 B Back next year.
Dec 9, 2014 11:18 AM - Eric: @Madison everything I have heard back on Jordan has been good...that he is a quick learner and has a good arm. Been some good praise for him...coaches are confident in his ceiling. Excited to see what he does in Spring ball next year.
Dec 9, 2014 11:18 AM - BabyJacket1990: Good deal. It really sucks that custis didn't work out. Those two would be a nightmare for most of the ACC.
Dec 9, 2014 11:20 AM - xenoabe: What's your prediction on MLD's contribution next year?
Dec 9, 2014 11:21 AM - Greenjackets: Eric - on RR.com. Whitehead is listed as 6-5, 209lbs. Has he gotten bigger ?
Dec 9, 2014 11:21 AM - Madison Grant: Over/under on how many we lose to the GT drug testing policy over the next 12 months
Dec 9, 2014 11:22 AM - Eric: @xenoabe I actually am going to say he redshirts next year unless we have a injury.
Dec 9, 2014 11:22 AM - Eric: @greenjackkets he isnt a lot bigger, maybe 220.
Dec 9, 2014 11:22 AM - Eric: @madison I am not too worried about that.
Dec 9, 2014 11:23 AM - BabyJacket1990: He needs to put on some weight
Dec 9, 2014 11:23 AM - dhbartlett12: still any chance we offer to Joshua Thomas?
Dec 9, 2014 11:24 AM - dressedcheeseside: Are the coaches paying more attention to character in recruiting after the rash of offseason dismissals?
Dec 9, 2014 11:24 AM - Eric: Some people just don't have the frame to put on weight, he is one of those kids...is never going to be a big kid. has thin hips and just wont be able to add a lot of weight.
Dec 9, 2014 11:24 AM - BabyJacket1990: What is the word on the DT's coming in. Are they ready to play early or will we have to wait and see how they do.
Dec 9, 2014 11:24 AM - iceeater1969: What is happening dec 12? Recruits on campus for? Maybe missed this above
Dec 9, 2014 11:24 AM - Eric: @dhbartlett He was already offered once , dont see it happening again
Dec 9, 2014 11:25 AM - dhbartlett12: speaking of weight, how much more weight will Freeman be able to put on?
Dec 9, 2014 11:26 AM - Eric: @DCS Eh, tough to say...hard to really get to know a kid too well during the recruiting process...the kids that got dismissed werent really bad kids, they made bad decisions. I think we tend to land high character kids. I think we focus more on who we think will put forth the effort in school.
Dec 9, 2014 11:26 AM - Eric: @babyjacket Kyle Henderson will be playing next year...I am confident on that one. We will see on Glanton.
Dec 9, 2014 11:27 AM - Eric: @iceeater we have official visits starting this weekend.
Dec 9, 2014 11:27 AM - BabyJacket1990: Thanks Eric
Dec 9, 2014 11:27 AM - Eric: @dhbartlett coaches think/want him to get in the 240-245 range...we will see. He is a hard worker.
Dec 9, 2014 11:27 AM - GT_B: Eric what is your guess on chances to land st.amour and fannell
Dec 9, 2014 11:27 AM - dressedcheeseside: I think we should focus efforts targeting the upper end of the academic spectrum rather than the special admit side. Is this what we're doing?
Dec 9, 2014 11:28 AM - iceeater1969: Great - break out the pens, capa and cameras!
