Jan 10, 2015 at 8:05 PM - BabyJacket1990: It would be nice to see him thrown in there early. He could end up being another gostis i
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:06 PM - Madison Grant: Is Dorian Walker considered a CB recruit?
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:06 PM - Eric: @Babyjacket the one that should play early is Henderson.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:07 PM - Madison Grant: You think Campbell and Singleton stick with us?
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:07 PM - BabyJacket1990: I agree , but it would be nice to see both of them together.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:07 PM - Eric: @Madison he is being recruited as an "ATH" but yes I think he would start out at DB here.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:07 PM - TechTravis: i get the feeling if campbell and singleton were gonna bolt they'd have done it already...
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:08 PM - Eric: @Madison I don't. I think we lose Singleton...depends on what offers come for CC. Think as of today he sticks.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:08 PM - Madison Grant: So, if Singleton bolts, does that open up a 4th spot? Am I counting right?
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:08 PM - Eric: @babyjacket we will have Gotsis, Gamble, Kallon and Jabari if he is cleared...if that happens then Kyle could be the 5th. and I think we could redshirt Scott and Glanton then.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:09 PM - Eric: @TechTravis now is the time for it when more offers come and visits start to happen.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:09 PM - Eric: @Madision yes it should.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:10 PM - BabyJacket1990: Kallon is a bust. Sorry if that is harsh. He has the size but I haven't seen the **4 star talent out of him**
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:10 PM - Madison Grant: Is there a possibility a couple of the senior guys who are sticking in there now will leave after spring practice? Will either of them (not naming names) graduate after the Spring and then leave?
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:11 PM - kg01: Kallon being a bust is probably more about people's unfair expectations
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:11 PM - kg01: Why was the Williamson kid from Gainesville so under-recruited?
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:11 PM - Madison Grant: Kallon had only played a year? of football in high school. He wasn't a bust. He was a piss poor evaluation by the recruiting gurus, and I think his coach promoted the heck out of him
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:11 PM - BabyJacket1990: He has been hurt for awhile @kg01
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:12 PM - Eric: @Babyjacket now is the time for him...he actually progressed at the end of the yer. People failed to realize coming in at that he had played only 1 year of football and thought he would come in and play right away...he was so raw it was unreal. He has come along. I think he can be a serviceable DT but he isnt going to be ALL ACC guy.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:13 PM - BabyJacket1990: That's why I say play the Morgan kid. Let him play early. More reps in game speed the better off we will be in 2016.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:13 PM - TechTravis: kallon is yet another reason i don't take star rankings seriously at all...
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:14 PM - Eric: @Madison That could happen, we don't know at this time.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:15 PM - Madison Grant: Is playing QB a selling point on Campbell? I hope we give him a shot there. As another poster pointed out, he looks very Nesbitt-like running the ball. I could see him being successful in the option as a QB
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:15 PM - Eric: @kg01 He played hurt JR year so his tape didnt look as good...He sent his finished SR year tape out recently and as you can see he blowed up...he was a late bloomer IMO.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:16 PM - Henrymcg: LSU wants Christian Campbell and he's holding strong. Tennessee wants Brant Mitchell and he's holding strong. UGA would die for Will Bryan and held strong. AJ GRAY BRANDON SINGLETON QUAIDE WILMERSKIRCH
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:16 PM - LibertyTurns: Patriots won. Must be my punishment for GT's great season... Watching the game they talked about needing better cut blocking on OL and WR blocking as keys during the game. You'd think we'd have OL, WRs and RBs flocking here. Surprised nobody's jumping on the 2016 train yet. Why is that? You'd think after spanking MSt we'd be getting some love.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:16 PM - Eric: @Babyjacket you dont play Scott if others ahead of him are better.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:17 PM - Eric: @Madison he doesn't give a flip about position from what hes told me.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:17 PM - Madison Grant: Brant Mitchell is smart enough to realize Tennessee is crooked as a dog's hind leg. They are trying to do things the Saban way, aka run a kid off so they can recruit others
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:17 PM - kg01: I'd rather '16 kids wait a while than commit then flip/flop/visit later
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:17 PM - Henrymcg: We are stacked
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:17 PM - BabyJacket1990: We're pretty weak on the line.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:17 PM - Eric: @Henry LSU hasnt offered CC.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:17 PM - BabyJacket1990: FSU made us look like kids out there
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:17 PM - Eric: @kg01 ding ding ding.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:18 PM - TechTravis: @baby, we lost that game by 2 pts.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:18 PM - kg01: MadisonG is on mind-meld with me. TN is dirty as the day is long
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:18 PM - Madison Grant: Baby, what game did you watch?
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:18 PM - Madison Grant: We ran all over them the 1st half
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:18 PM - Henrymcg: Yeah they have, Eric.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:18 PM - Eric: @babyjacket that could change with Hunt Days and Whitehead...also a year in the weightroom for Simmons, Freeman and Merriweather and they will only get better.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:19 PM - Madison Grant: Two guys for FSU we couldn't block. PJ Williams, the corner, and Derrick Nnadi, the DT who came in for Goldman
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:19 PM - BabyJacket1990: @Travis what does that have to do with us being weak on the d line ? If we had a decent d line we would have won that game by 14.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:19 PM - kg01: Really liked Freeman
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:19 PM - Greenjackets: Eric - what's your take on Brittain Browm
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:19 PM - Eric: @Henry LSU has not offered Christian. I am not sure where that info is from but I can tell you they have not offered him.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:19 PM - Madison Grant: My bad, BJ, FSU did toss out DTs around
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:20 PM - Henrymcg: C.C. is holding strong & LSU is playing games to make him budge .. No worries
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:20 PM - Madison Grant: If they offered him, would he bolt?
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:21 PM - Henrymcg: The whole class is holding firm -maybe Singleton but I doubt it
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:21 PM - Madison Grant: It's a natural fact that our DL was held together with duct tape this year. But our secondary will be nasty next year.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:21 PM - kg01: If they're playing games now, surely he knows they can't be trusted, no?
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:21 PM - kg01: OT, but y'all think the Panthers put up a fight tonite?
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:22 PM - Eric: @Greenjackets I love Brittain Brown...One of my favorites of the 2016 class . Think he is going to be a really good player...some we are heavy after for the 2016 class. We got on him earlier than most.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:22 PM - Henrymcg: Kg01 - the recruiting game does not work that way.. Bottom line, he wants to be at Tech
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:22 PM - OldJacketFan: Eric saw your comment on Peek, is he a ND fan or just a Catholic? Or both? ;)
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:22 PM - Madison Grant: No kg01. Cam doesn't handle a pass rush well (Falcons had NONE)
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:22 PM - Eric: Of course! It will be a 17-13 game IMO.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:22 PM - Madison Grant: Saints also had NONE
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:22 PM - kg01: @Henry you're confusing the crap outta me :D
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:23 PM - Eric: @Madison Yeah, i think he would.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:23 PM - BabyJacket1990: I don't care what kind of talent we have in the secondary. Until we can find some type of oass rush we're going to be in dog fights with teams like ND,UGA,Clemson, and FSU. We have a QB that has taken this offense to another level. I believe we have a roster that can get us in that playoff but we're gonna need a D line to create some havoc first.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:23 PM - Eric: @Oldjacket He just told me they were one of his dream schools. I
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:24 PM - Henrymcg: Regarding DT's - I think our personel fits the 4-2-5 3safety scheme
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:24 PM - Madison Grant: We need to kick off in Notre Name's butt to put that dream to rest next year. I think we can
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:24 PM - OldJacketFan: @Eric perhaps Pelton can change his mind
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:24 PM - Henrymcg: Regarding DT's - I think our personel fits the 4-2-5 3safety scheme
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:25 PM - Eric: @Oldjacket lets hope he and Henderson can!
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:25 PM - Eric: Well not a good start for the ole Panthers.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:25 PM - Madison Grant: What was Fennell's issue? Wanted poontang and easy classes?

Jan 10, 2015 at 8:26 PM - OldJacketFan: Any chance Shaq reaches out to Oden? I think Kyle will be very active with him :)
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:26 PM - kg01: Lol, who doesn't @MadiG
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:26 PM - Eric: @Madison just loved the SEC.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:26 PM - Madison Grant: Poontang and easy classes
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:27 PM - Eric: @Old I doubt it, Shaq has quite a lot on his plate right now...hopefully he can cross paths at some point.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:27 PM - ilovetheoption: As somebody who went to school in the SEC specifically for poontang and easy classes, I approve this chat.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:27 PM - Eric: CPJ would have went for that :)
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:27 PM - Madison Grant: Buckeyes or Ducks?
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:28 PM - OldJacketFan: @Eric I know was just hoping hometown might make it easier for him
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:28 PM - kg01: Eh, ilove when you gon' make the plunge and be a Jacket-fan?
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:28 PM - BabyJacket1990: Ducks
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:28 PM - ilovetheoption: kg, you guys are my #2 team (ahead of my alma mater)
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:28 PM - BabyJacket1990: Their QB is off the charts
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:28 PM - kg01: Ducks
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:28 PM - LibertyTurns: if you're after poon, go west young man.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:29 PM - kg01: Yeah, ilove. We movin' on up
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:29 PM - Madison Grant: FSU's d-backs looked like dizzy tards against the warp speed offense
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:29 PM - ilovetheoption: LibertyTurns: I promise you, you do not need to go further west than Oxford, MS
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:29 PM - Henrymcg: Recruiting process at factories-
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:29 PM - Henrymcg: flirtation gauging of interest courtship familiarization on mental level (interests, goals that correspond with that of the program) familiarization on a physical level (camps and coeds) meet the friends meet the parents secure fondness from parents secure commitment continue to court until everything is signed and in writing
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:30 PM - ilovetheoption: So, sorry if I missed this but how fast is QW, really? I see him listed as a 4.5 guy, but I kind of don't buy it. Am I wrong?
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:31 PM - BabyJacket1990: He may have ran that in shorts
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:31 PM - Madison Grant: Some billionaire needs to come in and make the neighborhoods around campus more 'fun' and 'college like'. Heck, if George Soros can buy the whole political system of the Ukraine, surely some rich Tech grad can work on that.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:32 PM - Eric: @Ilove yeah he is probably a mid 4.6 guy.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:32 PM - Madison Grant: I believe Quaide might run in the 4.5s, but he's about an 11.5 in the 100
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:32 PM - kg01: Yeah, like them cats buying land around Augusta National and just leaving grass there
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:32 PM - Madison Grant: Anthony Allen and Orwin were like that
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:33 PM - Eric: Not winning the field position battle.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:33 PM - LibertyTurns: How fast are LASKEY AND SIMS?
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:33 PM - BabyJacket1990: @madison I think it's a darn shame that the city of Atlanta let the surrounding neighborhoods turn into the slums back in the 70's. Tech was the hottest show in town at the time. Just think if the city would have protected tech.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:33 PM - Madison Grant: Sims might have been a 4.7-4.8
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:33 PM - ilovetheoption: I think Laskey's pretty fast, actually. Guy played DB as a freshman.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:34 PM - LibertyTurns: If QW is as fast and strong as those 2, he may work out ok
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:35 PM - kg01: He's wearing #21 so he has no choice but to be a playmakuh
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:36 PM - OldJacketFan: QW at 4.55 or Nathan, Omari, Kervonte and Taquan all at 4.45 or better.......................and then there's JeT :D
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:36 PM - Eric: Laskey is a low 4.6
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:36 PM - Madison Grant: Honestly, for the 1st half of the season, we just need a B-back that can handle the mesh and not fumble. That's my colossal worry
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:37 PM - ilovetheoption: madison: fair
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:37 PM - Longestday: Laskey was very quick to the LOS and gave JT less time to think on the option (my opinion). Days gave a longer mesh and more time...
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:37 PM - OldJacketFan: @Madison, I've faith in CJ, he's had a year or practices to get the mesh down
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:37 PM - Eric: @Madison we have to get that worked out in Spring and Fall camp.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:38 PM - ilovetheoption: Eric: if you had to give a % likelyhood of signing ASA, what would it be?
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:41 PM - kg01: Chat-Jack; Chat-Jack: What're the odds CBG is our bball coach this time next year?
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:41 PM - prifle2: eric what's your opinion of Brad Stewart? He seems to highpoint the ball well but can he separate from ACC level DB's? Is he getting an offer if Singleton bolts?
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:41 PM - Eric: @ilovetheoption around 30% is what I would put it at right now...I am afraid he will wait too long even if he doesnt get accepted to Stanford.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:41 PM - Madison Grant: I hope 0% kg01
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:41 PM - ilovetheoption: thx
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:42 PM - kg01: Awful INT by Newton
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:42 PM - Madison Grant: We risk letting the cesspool get a football in basketball. If they start winning, they might actually decide they want to continue caring about the sport
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:43 PM - ilovetheoption: @Eric, you probably already did this in this chat, but would you be willing to venture a guess at the rest of the class?
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:43 PM - Madison Grant: foothold oops
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:43 PM - prifle2: I like CBG but i have given up hope that he can recruit at a level necesary to win in this ACC...
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:43 PM - Greenjackets: I hope we get Vic Alexander. He is a beast
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:43 PM - Eric: @prifle2 I like Brad, don't love him...Think the ones we have are better. You pin pointed the issue with him...I asked about that and was told of another WR we plan to offer if we want another WR...But if that guy doesnt work out then it could well be Stewart. We are working on getting him to visit the last weekend in Jan for a backup option...As of now I dont see him getting that offer.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:43 PM - kg01: That's why we have to keep hoping they lose (although it hurts our RPI in case we make a tourney run ... :LOL: :ROFLMAO: )
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:44 PM - Eric: @Ilove of course...My guess is Dorian Walker, Morgan Marshall and either Brad Curry or Vic...Today i am going with Brad as that final spot.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:44 PM - Madison Grant: Marcus Marshall
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:45 PM - OldJacketFan: Adding Walker and Marshall would be very sweet
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:45 PM - Eric: damnit, Morgan.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:45 PM - ilovetheoption: LOL! I was furiously googing "morgan marshall"
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:45 PM - Eric: Do It every time.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:45 PM - Eric: Lol, sorry about that.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:45 PM - OldJacketFan: or is it mashall morgan?
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:45 PM - AE 87: is there still an xfer or some other unreported name we're in good for?
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:45 PM - Madison Grant: Brad aint fast enough. Kid ran a 6.91 in the 60 as a jr and 6.73 for baseball camps. He's already worked like hell at pulling his time down, I'm guessing.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:46 PM - Madison Grant: Morgan, Marcus, Madison whatever
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:46 PM - prifle2: Eric is Marcus better than lands davis? Can either of them surpass Leggett eventually?
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:47 PM - Madison Grant: That said, the kid has got some SERIOUS ups.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:48 PM - Madison Grant: I bet he (Stewart) can drop step and two hand slam
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:48 PM - OldJacketFan: then he needs to play for Gregory ;)

Jan 10, 2015 at 8:48 PM - Madison Grant: Gregory needs somebody who can frikkin SHOOT
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:49 PM - Madison Grant: Man, I miss Anthony Morrow, watching us play
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:49 PM - BabyJacket1990: Gregory needs Michael Jordan
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:49 PM - Madison Grant: LOL BJ
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:49 PM - LibertyTurns: please don't put a curse on anyone else by suggesting basketball
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:49 PM - kg01: Needs LeBron Jordan x2 or 3
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:49 PM - Eric: @AE we are working on a transfer but I think its doubtful right now...they arent giving out much info on that one.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:50 PM - Madison Grant: Has the t-fer got to get his credits straight to get in? Just a guess.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:50 PM - ilovetheoption: When you say Brad Curry, do you mean David Curry?
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:51 PM - AE 87: tks
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:51 PM - Madison Grant: Curry looks like a good athlete, but I don't buy him at LB. Maybe he can play the Demond Smith slot in the 4-2-5
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:51 PM - Eric: Indeed @ilovetheoption...mind not working well tonight while watching the Panthers game lol
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:52 PM - ilovetheoption: :)
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:52 PM - TechnicalPossum: I'm just ready to see 2 first downs in a row.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:52 PM - thwgjacket: Uh...6.73 is a pretty fast 60. 6.9 is the mlb average. 6.73 is certainly fast enough that a college would consider it a tool.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:53 PM - Eric: @Prfile I asked about the B Back job and it was made very clear to me that Leggett does not have that job won and its going in the Spring and likely will be in Fall camp...Coach Cook loves Marshall and has been on him for awhile...they think if he doesnt work out at B then he could play at A. They think he is too good to pass up as he added the weight to his frame and kept his speed..
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:53 PM - Madison Grant: thwg, 6.73 is fast, but the 'fast' guys run in the 6.5s and below. If you run 6.7s, you better have other tools.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:53 PM - Eric: @Madison I assume that is what they like him for.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:54 PM - Madison Grant: Baseball speed and football speed, especially at WR, are two different things
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:54 PM - thwgjacket: Lol first round draft picks might run 6.5's and below. There's a reason 6.5 is an 8 on a scout scale. 10 hypothetically being the fastest guy in the league.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:54 PM - OldJacketFan: Eric that surpised me about CJ after the words that came out about CJ during the season
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:54 PM - Jerry the Jacket: Who is visiting next weekend?
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:55 PM - BabyJacket1990: I hate to dwell but , why couldn't custis keep his grades right! We would be set going into this year.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:55 PM - kg01: CPJ also said the C job was open this past Spring #Motivation
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:55 PM - Madison Grant: thwg, Stewart is not D-1 fast at WR.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:55 PM - AE 87: yep kg
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:56 PM - OldJacketFan: kg good point
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:56 PM - Drew4Tech: Is MLD a B-back all the way?
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:56 PM - thwgjacket: What does D-1 fast mean? Dudes run all kind of different speeds in D-1. I do agree that our WR's are better. Just saying 6.73 60 is fast.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:57 PM - Madison Grant: Any chance Burden moves to guard and Marshall takes over center. Marshall showed a really nasty streak this year
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:57 PM - Eric: @jerry Kirvonte Benson, Mikell Lands-Davis, TaQuan Marshall, AJ Gray, Christian Philpott, Brandon Singleton, Dante Wigely, Brentavious Glanton, Christian Campbell, Dorian Walker and David Curry.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:58 PM - TechnicalPossum: 6.73 is fast, but for football, the short distance splits are important.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:58 PM - OldJacketFan: I think Burden's there to stay, he did a helluva job this season and at his size he's the quickest center I've seen in a while
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:58 PM - Madison Grant: D-1 fast means look at his film objectively. He is a great leaper, but he one those battles on balls that were underthrown where he was already there.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:58 PM - Eric: @OldJacket I was surprised as well..Really cant go into more detail about it but was made very clear that the job is secured by any means.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:58 PM - ATL1: ???? Who would you move out of the gaurd position
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:58 PM - Eric: I don't see anyway Burden moves over.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:58 PM - OldJacketFan: thx Eric, perhaps it's just a bit of motivation ;)
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:59 PM - OldJacketFan: Burden is a flipping beast at C
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:59 PM - Eric: @Drew he is coming in at B...100%. But he is another that could be a good A Back if B back didnt workout..same with Marshall.
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:59 PM - Madison Grant: Did anyone catch Andrew Marshall's nasty attitude after the blocked FG in the UGAg game? Facemasked the guy on the tackle and then shoved a db before he had time to talk smack
Jan 10, 2015 at 8:59 PM - thwgjacket: My only premise was that 6.73 is fast. Are you saying we should punish him because his QB under threw him a lot?
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:00 PM - Jerry the Jacket: I think every position is open going into spring practice.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:00 PM - BabyJacket1990: We're praising these guys but I hope this teams keeps working and laying the foundation. I'm ready to power shift away from UGA.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:00 PM - thwgjacket: Would much rather have the guys we have though.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:00 PM - OldJacketFan: Jerry except QB :D
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:00 PM - Madison Grant: My premise is that he is not fast enough in relation to what we are able to recruit and what competition he would have to face at the P5 level
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:01 PM - TechnicalPossum: @thwg - Not at all. But, for football more than baseball, how far it takes to get to full speed is quite important.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:01 PM - Madison Grant: thwg, nobody's saying 6.73 is slow. Good grief. But Smelter ran a 6.58 coming of hs
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:01 PM - thwgjacket: Well yea, I already said I'd rather have our guys. But I think he can play D1 somewhere.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:01 PM - Madison Grant: Then why doesn't he have offers?
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:02 PM - Madison Grant: Didn't Wake see his film?
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:02 PM - Butler22: Who are our last commits @Eric?
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:02 PM - thwgjacket: Yea and Smelter was one of the fastest guys on the field.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:02 PM - kg01: No he wasn't. He always looked kinda slowish to me
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:03 PM - Madison Grant: Smelter has been projected as a mid 4.5s guy by NFL scouts. We're talking degrees of seperation here
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:03 PM - Eric: @Butler22 my guess Marshall, Curry and Walker.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:03 PM - Butler22: Thank you @Eric
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:03 PM - Madison Grant: There's Smelter, and then there's Snoddy who looks like somebody hit some kind of video game button when he gets going
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:04 PM - kg01: Then there's JeT who looked like some kinda weird CGI special effect
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:04 PM - TechnicalPossum: 6.73 60yd is a 4.5 40yd assuming proportional acceleration. Realistically, add a tenth or two to the 40yd time. 6.73 is fast, but not blindingly fast
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:05 PM - thwgjacket: He has offers from GSU, App and Army. All D1 schools. Lol so now you're going to use "projections" as evidence. Shoddy is the fastest guy on the team, he can't be used as the threshold.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:05 PM - ilovetheoption: Madison, honestly Snoddy might be the fastest guy in the combine. He's probably the fastest guy in college football. Not fair, imo.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:05 PM - Jerry the Jacket: Even with Snoddy's speed he has not been able to house it on a homerun type run. He usually gets caught from behind. Still a quality player though. I think Stewart is just a good football player regardless of his measurables. I hope we get him somehow.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:06 PM - ilovetheoption: snoddy has NEVER been run down from behind. Guys have had the angle.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:06 PM - Madison Grant: If we offer the kid, I'll be his biggest fan. I think he could excel in our offense even without elite D-1 WR speed, but I know our coaches are trying to build a better mousetrap like everyone else
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:06 PM - LibertyTurns: SEC has a lot of speed and it didn't seem to help them much. Coaches just need to go out and find the good slow guys we've been getting.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:07 PM - Jerry the Jacket: Yeah he has been caught several times when wide open in the middle of the field.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:07 PM - kg01: No he hasn't, It's always been by a guy with the angle
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:07 PM - ilovetheoption: jerry, you'll have to show me tape on that. I'll ship you a box of doughnuts if you can find it :) I mean just run down from behind, not "had to cut because of traffic"

Jan 10, 2015 at 9:08 PM - Jerry the Jacket: I saw it happen in the Clemson game. But you can believe what you believe.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:08 PM - Madison Grant: Yeah, Snoddy runs so fast he outruns blocks. It's like when you hit the fast button in a video game, and then a wall gets thrown up and you aren't prepared to stop and evade it
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:08 PM - Butler22: I want some donuts
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:08 PM - thwgjacket: In Clemson game when 2 guys came from ahead of him at an angle and he fell?
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:08 PM - OldJacketFan: crispy creme
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:09 PM - TechnicalPossum: On a related note, I like being in the position of arguing about which 6 we want for the last 3 spots instead of fretting about who is going to lose.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:09 PM - Butler22: Sublime
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:09 PM - TechnicalPossum: +1 OJF lemon filled plz
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:09 PM - OldJacketFan: Possum ain't it the truth
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:09 PM - Madison Grant: We will get 3 good ones regardless
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:09 PM - ilovetheoption: find me the tape guys, and it's donuts all around :)
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:09 PM - OldJacketFan: raspberry filled or original glazed
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:10 PM - Jerry the Jacket: So no shot at Saint whatever his name is?
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:10 PM - BabyJacket1990: @Eric how big will our 2016 class be ?
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:10 PM - Butler22: Krullers
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:10 PM - OldJacketFan: <likes krullers
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:10 PM - TechnicalPossum: @OJF on the lemon filled KK doughnuts or recruiting?
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:11 PM - OldJacketFan: Possum both LOL!
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:11 PM - Butler22: You are alright by me OJF!
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:11 PM - TechnicalPossum: I am glad I am not the only one who likes the lemon
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:11 PM - ilovetheoption: jerry, see here
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:12 PM - Jerry the Jacket: Free donuts at the signing day ceremony.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:12 PM - TechnicalPossum: how is that not on an angle ILTOption?
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:13 PM - Eric: here it is as well http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/video?gameId=400547748
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:13 PM - ilovetheoption: it is on an angle. I'm arguing that he's never been caught w/o an angle
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:13 PM - kg01: JtJ is the one saying it wasn
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:13 PM - Eric: @Jerry a slim one.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:13 PM - Eric: @Baby around 20 right now.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:13 PM - Madison Grant: You happy Eric? Cam just tied it up
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:14 PM - kg01: Matty Ice woulda thrown a pic6 by now :smuggrin:
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:14 PM - Eric: Very happy! Finally a good drive.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:14 PM - OldJacketFan: the HOT sign is lit
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:14 PM - BabyJacket1990: Bring cam back to Atl Arthur blank
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:14 PM - TechnicalPossum: No joke Eric. I think all the injuries tis year may have made a bette team
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:15 PM - Madison Grant: New nickname needs to be Matty-3-yard-checkdown-to-rb-on-3rd-and-8
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:15 PM - TechnicalPossum: If the HOT sign is lit, I'm stopping for it.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:15 PM - Jerry the Jacket: The fact remains they ran him down in the open field.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:15 PM - kg01: Checkdown Charlie fits
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:15 PM - thwgjacket: How about Tom Brady taking over.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:15 PM - Eric: @Techcianl could have...I know that Star out hurts us. But I am happy with where we are at right now!
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:15 PM - OldJacketFan: Entertaining ball game both D's are popping@
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:16 PM - Madison Grant: Tom Brady is slow as molasses but he can evade a rush. Matt Ryan probably walks into door frames
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:16 PM - BabyJacket1990: Cam looks Islamic with that towel wrapped over his head and neck
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:16 PM - kg01: BabyJ you better watch yo back; Them French Muslims ain't havin' that
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:16 PM - TechnicalPossum: Star does hurt. The rest...meh. The O-line needs to get sorted out. And having the cap space free from Hardy should help.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:17 PM - thwgjacket: Jerry there is a dude that is about 15 yards in front of him that still has to take an angle to make him turn. You really not seeing that?
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:17 PM - LibertyTurns: whoever wins better go smack Brady in the mouth enough to win next week
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:17 PM - kg01: JtJ likes to fight ... You still cool with me Jerry
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:17 PM - thwgjacket: I lol' when Brady spun and juked Suggs.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:18 PM - BabyJacket1990: If they get me I will make sure I donate my signed Calvin Johnson helmet gets back to GT HOF lol
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:18 PM - Madison Grant: Brady and Aaron Rodgers and used to be Drew Brees. I know DLs hate them. It's like the cartoons when they're attacking from all sides and the character takes a step to the right, and they all crash into each other
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:18 PM - BabyJacket1990: Eric police my grammer on that last post haha this iPhone keyboard is hard to use sometimes
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:19 PM - AE 87: thwg, if they started 15 yds ahead but caught him 20 yds ahead, they ran him down i guess
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:19 PM - Jerry the Jacket: Those guys had to turn and get up to speed to catch Snoody when he was already at full stride. I just don't think he has blinding football speed. He has real good speed but not like say a Rocket Ishmael.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:19 PM - thwgjacket: AE 87. Logically.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:20 PM - ilovetheoption: AE, one guy is in front of him, forcing Snoddy into the other guy. He wasn't going straight up the field. Geting "run down" means getting caught from behind. Snoddy has nevver been caught from behind. He's been caught from the side
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:21 PM - thwgjacket: Lol if the threshold is Rocket then no one is fast. "Rocket was one of the fastes guys to ever play. His nickname was "Rocket" lol.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:21 PM - Madison Grant: Snoddy has INSTANT acceleration. He just learned to use it in a football uniform this year. The difference between him and a Rocket Ismail or Justin Thomas is he lacks the ability to juke you in a phone booth.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:21 PM - Eric: On my.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:22 PM - OldJacketFan: I'll say this about Snoddy I'll take my chances with him the opemn field :D
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:22 PM - kg01: I'm just on to see how far from 'crootin we get in the 'crootin chat
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:22 PM - AE 87: i agree ilove. just trying to translate Jerry
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:22 PM - Madison Grant: What is really impressive about Snoddy is the way he broke tackles in the Pitt game.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:23 PM - TechnicalPossum: @Eric that was one hell of a catch even if it irritates me
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:23 PM - OldJacketFan: Great thore by Wilson
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:23 PM - thwgjacket: Eric is Philpott really solid? I like him a lot. Reminds me of Hill but with good hands.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:23 PM - OldJacketFan: throw
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:23 PM - AE 87: seahawks and justin thomas sr will win
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:23 PM - ilovetheoption: @ae, gotcha.

Jan 10, 2015 at 9:24 PM - Eric: By the way not sure if @Henrymcg is still here I just talked to Christian Campbell...He said no LSU hasnt offered.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:24 PM - ilovetheoption: Jerry, Legit LOL :)
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:24 PM - OldJacketFan: AW i'm sure you have one close by
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:24 PM - awbuzz: Closet is by the Big Chicken !
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:25 PM - BabyJacket1990: @Eric do you know if any players/recruits pay attention to this site as much as we do?
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:25 PM - Eric: @thwgjacket yes, he is very solid.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:25 PM - awbuzz: Was a pleasure to see you again earlier this week OJF.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:25 PM - BabyJacket1990: Any chance we land his brother ?
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:25 PM - Eric: @baby quite a few recruits play attention to stuff on here, especially threads on them...some players do. I know they have used stuff on here as motivation...especially early in the season.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:25 PM - thwgjacket: Good, my favorite in the class.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:26 PM - OldJacketFan: Wehn anyone asked about how to get around in Marietta directions always start from the Big Chicken :D
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:26 PM - up state jacket: Eric is Jack Defoor got a offer from Tech yet?
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:26 PM - Madison Grant: Certain activist types should spend less time defending the Vicks and Winstons of the world, and more time PROMOTING the Russell Wilsons of the world
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:26 PM - OldJacketFan: AW you also!
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:27 PM - awbuzz: Are we going to be "out of balance" with all of the A / B backs that appear to be coming in this class?
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:27 PM - Eric: @Upstate not yet.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:27 PM - TechnicalPossum: Depends on redshirting likely AW
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:27 PM - awbuzz: makes sense
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:27 PM - Eric: @Aw It will to a degree...but to balance we will play a few FR to get the classes separated out
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:28 PM - up state jacket: Eric what is the hesitation on offering him?
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:28 PM - OldJacketFan: Eric any idea how much Taquan wieghs now? Last I saw was in the 165-170 range
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:29 PM - BabyJacket1990: I'm being nosey as h3ll but surely you get some type of compensation for your hard work eric. Am I correct on that?
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:29 PM - awbuzz: with last year's class and the possilbe freshman from this class, I feel good about the future of GT football. Pass me another cup of kool-aid please ;)
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:30 PM - TechnicalPossum: it isn't kool aid if it is true AW. it all depends on attitude and effort. the talent is there
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:30 PM - Madison Grant: Justin Thomas makes a big difference, but, honestly, it is a BIG deal to have athletic OL like Mason, Burden and Joe. Dang that Errin Joe can run for a fat boy
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:30 PM - Eric: @UpState We have only offered a handful of guys on the OL next year...Probably someone we want to see in camp. I like him though. Would be fine with him getting a offer.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:30 PM - awbuzz: chemistry definitely helps the attitude and effort
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:31 PM - OldJacketFan: Eric speaking of the OL for '16 who has been offered.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:31 PM - Eric: @OldJacket I dont have a clue, but I sent him a message and will let you know.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:31 PM - OldJacketFan: Thx
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:31 PM - AE 87: bj, eric is paid by red chinese for cookies on all
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:31 PM - Eric: @babyjacket haha no i don't!
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:31 PM - TechnicalPossum: I agree. This team seemed like it wanted the wins, not the numbers. So much unselfish blocking, so much team D.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:32 PM - TheTaxJacket: I'm in!
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:32 PM - awbuzz: really like the big uglies we have returning including the RS's plus this class. Granted would REALLY like a big ready to play DT too.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:32 PM - thwgjacket: Eric who do you think becomes the 5th OL for next year? I like Devine but I'm just ensnared with his size.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:32 PM - AE 87: techies using this site on work computers
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:32 PM - Madison Grant: Well, by now the Red Chinese know I'm a Georgia Tech fan
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:32 PM - TheTaxJacket: What are we discussing? Playoffs are on
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:32 PM - OldJacketFan: My money is on Shamire :)
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:32 PM - thwgjacket: Enamored*
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:33 PM - OldJacketFan: thwg ensnared is what he does to his oppoenents
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:33 PM - Madison Grant: If Shamire would lose 40 lbs where he could pull like Braun and Mason, he'd be UNSTOPPABLE
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:33 PM - kg01: Devine looked like the real deal several times this year including vs the FSU DLineman who's a likely 1st rounder
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:33 PM - BabyJacket1990: Devine needs to run stadium stairs all summer.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:34 PM - Madison Grant: Funny thing, though, I think Errin Joe is actually fatter than Shamire. His belly's bigger. But he still can hoof it
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:34 PM - Oldgoldandwhite: Still have 3 spots and 7 offers?
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:34 PM - iceeater1969: Devine moves people out of the hole!
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:34 PM - Eric: @Oldjacket Ej price, Chandler Tuitt, Jordan Johnson, Parker Boudreaux, Stephen Spanellis.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:34 PM - kg01: Joe surprised me with how well he developed
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:34 PM - Madison Grant: Devin engulfs people
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:34 PM - OldJacketFan: Eric thx!
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:34 PM - Madison Grant: Any shot at EJ Price or is he factory bound?
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:34 PM - Eric: @ThwgJacker I am going a little on a limb and picking Brown.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:35 PM - TheTaxJacket: Carolina sucks
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:35 PM - OldJacketFan: Gotta like the name parker boudreaux!
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:35 PM - Eric: @oldgold yes as far as I know.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:35 PM - Eric: @Madison Factory all the way.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:35 PM - TechnicalPossum: I honestly havens seen enough of devine do know if he is too heavy or fine. I don't see him pulling fast but damn if he can;t eat a NT
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:35 PM - Eric: @kg01 without a doubt!
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:36 PM - Jerry the Jacket: Shamire will have to be limited to goal line and short yardage situations unless he losses about 30 to more lbs. I think he sees that now and hopefully this off season he will make the commitment to get down in that range.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:36 PM - Oldgoldandwhite: Is it unusual to have this many offers for 2016? I thought we usually waited till camp.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:36 PM - D-man44: Chandler related to Stephon tuitt
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:36 PM - OldJacketFan: Just let Coach Sisk continue to work with Shamire, he'll be fine
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:36 PM - iceeater1969: Brown will go get the LB as well as get up and cut off prusuit. Bid runs coming next year. Lots of rotation - must be ready for national champ drive in 16!
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:36 PM - D-man44: ?
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:37 PM - TheTaxJacket: What's the deal on the Marcus Marshall kid? I thought we were full at RB?
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:37 PM - Eric: @oldgold not at all...some guys you see on film and dont need to see them at camp.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:37 PM - Eric: @Dman no he isnt.

Jan 10, 2015 at 9:38 PM - awbuzz: @TheTaxJacket - that's one of the reasons I asked about a/b backs earlier.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:38 PM - Madison Grant: I know O'Leary and his progeny tear us down every chance they get on the recruiting trail.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:38 PM - TheTaxJacket: Gotcha I just joined in. Didn't see it :(
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:38 PM - Eric: @TheTaxJacket we kinda are but he is someone we liked enough to offer even if we are full at a position...we liked him as a Jr...but as a Sr he added weight and kept his speed. Got a lot thicker but didnt lose speed. Coaches really impressed with Senior tape....More of a value guy than a need of course.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:39 PM - iceeater1969: Don't we need a tall wide receiver -in case we do sent a Texas lead to recruiters of one
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:39 PM - AE 87: wait, did baby really challenge so else's grammar?
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:39 PM - TheTaxJacket: Thanks Eric. My dad asked me the other day and I didn't have an answer for him lol
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:40 PM - Eric: @iceeater in this class? and always send any info to coaches...they do read things and look into it.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:40 PM - awbuzz: how OV's coming in next week and the following week?
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:40 PM - Eric: Lol understand @tax...Just someone we like a lot.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:41 PM - D-man44: Oh Sandy Creek same high school as Trent sellers I assume factory for chandler tuitt
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:41 PM - Madison Grant: I work with folks down in Thomaston. How good of a shot do we have with 2016 DT David Marshall?
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:41 PM - TechnicalPossum: goddamnit cam
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:41 PM - Eric: @Aw Kirvonte Benson, Mikell Lands-Davis, TaQuan Marshall, AJ Gray, Christian Philpott, Brandon Singleton, Dante Wigely, Brentavious Glanton, Christian Campbell, Omahri Jarrett, Trent Sellers, David Curry and Dorian Walker.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:42 PM - kg01: Another awful pick by Cam
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:42 PM - Eric: 23rd is Cooksey, Ratliffe and Marshall at this time.

Jan 10, 2015 at 9:44 PM - thwgjacket: Is Ratliffe 100% going to play again?
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:44 PM - up state jacket: Is Curry a take?
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:44 PM - awbuzz: hoping for some secret inforamtion :)
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:44 PM - Eric: @Aw Anree has already visited us.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:45 PM - BabyJacket1990: Oh okay.. Like county is growing up these days. Al those rich peach tree city folks are taking over
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:45 PM - awbuzz: thanks... my brain obviously is blank.... (just ask my wife)
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:45 PM - iceeater1969: Agree is a great name
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:45 PM - Eric: @thwgjacket he has been cleared by his doctors..he will have to get cleared once he gets to GT as well though. So that is TBD.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:45 PM - Eric: @Upstate yes he is. All offers out are takes right now.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:45 PM - TechnicalPossum: INT was overturned. CAR keeps ball
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:45 PM - awbuzz: guess Cam doesn't suck as much now...
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:45 PM - Eric: PHEWWWWWWW....got the ball back.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:46 PM - TechnicalPossum: No, he still does. got bailed out
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:46 PM - Madison Grant: Baby, if that happened, that would be good for Upson. Jobs left when the mills shut down and a lot of folks drive very far to work
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:46 PM - awbuzz: ha!
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:46 PM - kg01: Good reversal
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:46 PM - Madison Grant: Pike just gets all the Griffin trash
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:47 PM - up state jacket: Eric, when do you expect the next recruit to commit?
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:47 PM - Eric: Gotta hit this FG
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:48 PM - AE 87: chancelor rocked
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:48 PM - Eric: @Upstate next weekend...on OV's. At least if Walker is smart he will commit then
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:48 PM - BabyJacket1990: Griffin sucks ***. I work off 1941 , few buildings down from from the new holland tractor.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:48 PM - TechnicalPossum: How do you stop that nonsence
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:48 PM - awbuzz: less than 25 full days until 2/4!
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:49 PM - awbuzz: Chancellor WOW!
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:49 PM - iceeater1969: eRIC Any idea when , if or who we will recruit on national scale? I hate that we aren't in Houston dallas area - lots of alums
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:49 PM - kg01: Is that legal?
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:49 PM - Eric: @Aw clock is ticking!
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:49 PM - OldJacketFan: Wow
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:49 PM - Madison Grant: Griffin is no place to raise children. Schools are a dump. But it has some pretty cool little locally owned restaurants, bars, coffee shop. We shop but don't live there
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:49 PM - OldJacketFan: Weird Weird Wierd
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:50 PM - AE 87: i think it was a block so no running in
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:50 PM - johncu: Lol kam chance
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:50 PM - TechnicalPossum: that was weird OJF. I have never seen the line jump twice in a row
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:50 PM - awbuzz: that was an end to the half that you couldn't script
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:50 PM - D-man44: What do you know about Tylin Oden? Different from what we usually recruit
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:50 PM - thwgjacket: Lol Chancellor whiffed twice.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:50 PM - Eric: @Ice we recruit whoever we feel is good enough for us, cant make it in school and has real interest in us...GA and FLa will always be bread and butter.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:50 PM - BabyJacket1990: I'm actually in jackson , it's getting ready blow up from all the henry county people trying to move out to the country.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:51 PM - Eric: @DMan A good player...has a good frame and is going to be a highly recruited guy in next years class.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:51 PM - Madison Grant: Butts County has a lot of potential. The lake and Indian Springs are very nice.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:51 PM - awbuzz: It's nice to be able to recruit all over the nation, but doesn't always mean it's fruitful.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:51 PM - Madison Grant: Schools hurt Jackson too though
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:51 PM - BabyJacket1990: @Eric and that's why we will always be competitive in the acc. We get some really good players that are overlooked.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:51 PM - Madison Grant: My wife used to teach in jackson
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:52 PM - BabyJacket1990: How old are you if you don't mind me asking ? My mother has been an educator for over 30 years here.

Jan 10, 2015 at 9:53 PM - Madison Grant: My wife had a great experience in Jackson, but she's heard things went downhill after she left
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:53 PM - BabyJacket1990: School system are light years ahead of the game now. They are just a few points behind pike which we all know is one of the states best.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:54 PM - Eric: anyone have questions feel free to ask..answer the best I can. If I miss one let me know :)
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:54 PM - iceeater1969: Fla ga are great! I have never heard of a recruiter from gt in Texas my son coached RB that went to Purdue,
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:54 PM - Madison Grant: Pike is just demographicallly advantaged. Superintendent is clueless
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:55 PM - OldJacketFan: Did y'all see where the MLB for missy state is rated#1 at his position by some of the draft gurus?
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:55 PM - OldJacketFan: LOL!
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:55 PM - Eric: I can promise we scout guys from that are...but with Texas, Texas A&M, LSU, TCU and others in area it isnt a easy place to recruit.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:55 PM - awbuzz: He'll bite on motion...
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:56 PM - OldJacketFan: and thump his chest and yell ;)
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:56 PM - Eric: Errin Joe's response
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:56 PM - iceeater1969: B went to univ Texas, and 77 on panthers ( giant sized kid but academic small) to coach spencer - got a few letters
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:56 PM - TechnicalPossum: @Eric - Any word about Ken Allen?
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:56 PM - OldJacketFan: Love it!
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:57 PM - up state jacket: Eric do feel Step Durham is prorgressing at the approprieate speed?
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:57 PM - BabyJacket1990: If we could expand our recruiting budget and hire 10 more recruiters, I think we would have some success in TX. Anyone remember PJ Daniels? That guy was old school and bada55
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:57 PM - TechnicalPossum: +1 upstate
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:57 PM - awbuzz: good stuff from Erin there Eric!
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:57 PM - BabyJacket1990: Btw I was being sarcastic about expanding
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:58 PM - Eric: @Technical He is going to end up at a smaller school.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:58 PM - TechnicalPossum: Not even a PWO?
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:58 PM - Eric: @Upstate yeah he showed more later in the year, we are hoping he has a great Spring of course. He has the tools he needs. Was more raw than I expected.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:59 PM - Eric: @Technical he is going to take a scholarship somewhere.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:59 PM - Southpaw13: I was impressed by him in the orange bowl
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:59 PM - awbuzz: be safe folks... have to go help a kid with a car... hopefully just let the lights drain the battery.
Jan 10, 2015 at 9:59 PM - OldJacketFan: aw take it easy see you soon
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:00 PM - iceeater1969: If we come to Texas - we should target early the smart Dt types we want . Texas OIL money has realyly improved our suburban schools
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:01 PM - up state jacket: Eric do project one of the Rs'd freshman DB's moving to offense or are the coaches happy with what is coming in?
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:01 PM - TechnicalPossum: good on him. I hope he does well and graduates wherever he goes.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:01 PM - Eric: @Upstate I think one of the Austin twins plus Searcy moves to A Back.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:02 PM - OldJacketFan: I see where GA hired the O line coach from McNeese State
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:02 PM - Eric: @Oldjacket TaQuon says he is 170.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:02 PM - OldJacketFan: Eric thx
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:03 PM - TechnicalPossum: that is about right for 5-10
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:03 PM - up state jacket: Eric who do you predict to be the step up WR next year?
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:03 PM - SouthernJacket: Any news on players that won't be back of might transfer?
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:04 PM - Eric: @UpState Jeune and Howell.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:04 PM - Eric: @Southern none that I am aware of currently, I dont like to speculate on that too much. but If there are any I am not aware of them.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:05 PM - TechnicalPossum: Where do you see Dorian Walker playing if he signs?
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:06 PM - Eric: @Technical I see him at DB.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:06 PM - OldJacketFan: on the same vein how is Messick progressing?
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:06 PM - SouthernJacket: You think things Brad Stewart gets offer or if not would you think he takes a preferred walk on?
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:06 PM - Eric: @OldJacket Havent heard much from him....know he still needs to add weight and the main thing I heard is work on route running..he does get after it blocking.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:07 PM - OldJacketFan: WRs blocking is a good thing ;)
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:07 PM - Eric: @Southern No i dont think we offer him right now..I dont see him walking on here either.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:08 PM - iceeater1969: Uga just hired ol coach from mc Neese state in la. Played at lsu - says will head on recruiting trail.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:09 PM - TechnicalPossum: IS josh thomas SOL at this point?
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:09 PM - mqpayne: What is going on with Marcus Allen.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:09 PM - up state jacket: What are odds Tech offers Chris Williamson "The Hottest" recruit in the state right now?
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:09 PM - Madison Grant: Yeah, I heard Marcus Allen had moved to A-back?
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:11 PM - BabyJacket1990: Marcus will juggle between both. His size is the reason he could play bback.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:13 PM - SouthernJacket: Oregon or Ohio State?
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:13 PM - Madison Grant: Ohio State
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:13 PM - Eric: @Technical Yes he is...big time.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:13 PM - Eric: Marcus is at A Back right now.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:13 PM - Eric: @UpState we arent going to offer him...per one of our coaches.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:14 PM - BabyJacket1990: Keywords *right now*
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:14 PM - Southpaw13: Eric when did that move happen for Marcus? Any info on how he looks there?
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:14 PM - Madison Grant: Do we like Curry over Williamson? Seems like similar players
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:15 PM - TechnicalPossum: What happened with Thomas? Just dragged his feet, poor advise from a coach, ect. ?
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:16 PM - Madison Grant: He wanted to play in front of a stadium full of SEC fans
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:16 PM - Eric: @SouthPaw Sometime before the bowl game..no idea on how he has played or if he even has yet.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:16 PM - kg01: Buford kid so prolly told "SEC or die"
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:16 PM - Eric: @Yes we like Curry more.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:16 PM - SouthernJacket: I guess the coaches know best but I like Brad Stewart over David Curry.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:17 PM - Eric: @Technical Yeah he wanted to play in the SEC and kept holding out for bigger offers..we warned him.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:17 PM - Madison Grant: Curry's fast. I just don't think he can get up to LB weight and keep that speed
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:17 PM - BabyJacket1990: I wish the staff would save a scholarship or two. Those two guys are not a must have.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:17 PM - Eric: @Southern difference is we can use more guys on D...we are full at WR. We also have another WR we like ahead of Stewart.

Jan 10, 2015 at 10:17 PM - TechnicalPossum: got enough rome to hang himself and tied the wrong knot. That is on him.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:17 PM - TechnicalPossum: *rope
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:18 PM - Madison Grant: What is the real deal on Vic Alexander? Where do you think he winds up?
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:19 PM - Eric: @Baby Never know on that...coaches have done a damn good job in the past on finding talent near the end. Dorian Walker is one CPJ loves. Trust them.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:19 PM - SouthernJacket: @Eric yeah I get it but I just think he is a player. Watched him all year down here and he's just got talent. Can't take em all though
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:19 PM - Eric: @Madison I asked about him recently...still a take for us. I think he ends up at VT...some on our staff is hoping we can find a spot at the end for him as he will be visiting the 30th.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:19 PM - Madison Grant: We need true corners. If Walker has good hips, as I've heard, I hope we get him.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:20 PM - Madison Grant: Is he going to VT on the 23rd?
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:20 PM - TechnicalPossum: I almost would rather have walker at safety. IT always feels like we under address that position.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:21 PM - Madison Grant: Safety? We are stacked there.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:21 PM - TechnicalPossum: Define stacked
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:21 PM - Southpaw13: Eric are there any more DT possibilities? I know we are signing 3 already, plus possibly Sellers ending up there.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:21 PM - Eric: Vic has already took a OV to VT...we could see his visit here moved up to the 23rd. But as of two days ago he told me it was lined up on the 30th.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:22 PM - up state jacket: Where is Matt Jordon going to be playing?
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:22 PM - Eric: @Southpaw none that I have heard about...doesnt mean the answer is no though.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:22 PM - Eric: @UpState he is staying at QB.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:22 PM - up state jacket: does he end up there?
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:23 PM - BabyJacket1990: @madison we have next year class to really focus on DB. @Eric I do somewhat trust them but there not always right neither. They know more than me but I have seen in the past where scholarships are wasted.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:23 PM - TechnicalPossum: At S - Golden, Griffin, Jognson, AJ gray, um...
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:23 PM - Tech93: Eric any chance we would put Byerly at B back?
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:23 PM - TechnicalPossum: *johnson
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:23 PM - Madison Grant: Aside from Golden -C. Griffin, Marvin, J. Johnson, Kagawa (noted as excelling on scout team), AJ Gray and a guy like Lynn Griffin is really a safety and needs to come back to that position to excel
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:23 PM - Eric: @Upstate yeah I see him sticking at QB.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:24 PM - iceeater1969: Dt - we need ro recruit a man child in 2016 - Gostis leaves - 2015 guys step up but we need a beast for the RUN
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:24 PM - OldJacketFan: How many days to the Spring game? :)
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:24 PM - Madison Grant: Ah, goodness. Where is the next Darryl Richard. DT will always be a struggle for us
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:24 PM - BabyJacket1990: I want to
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:25 PM - Eric: @Baby they are right a lot more than not...not every player is going to be a start. Some guys are for depth...What ones have we missed on close to NSD? We have hit on a ton of kids like Corey Griffin, PJ Davis, Tony Zenon, etc.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:25 PM - Eric: @Tech93 A slim one. I dont think it happens though.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:25 PM - TechnicalPossum: It always feels like the S position ha lacking. In general we have one good S, but not two.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:26 PM - SouthernJacket: I think this class has us ok at DT for the next few years.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:26 PM - kg01: BeastMode
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:26 PM - Madison Grant: Lawrence Austin played some safety too
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:26 PM - TechnicalPossum: no need to rub it in kg01
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:27 PM - Eric: Yeah the S position is one that will be targeted next year but we do have Kagawa, Aj Gray, Jalen Johnson and even Austin who are young at S...Christian Campbell could be a good one as well.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:27 PM - TechnicalPossum: i guess I see a defense like a fire. You have to keep adding fuel if you want it to burn bright.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:27 PM - kg01: Sorry TPossum; Falcs at home so I can just watch/enjoy
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:28 PM - Madison Grant: We just need to get Christian Campbell to sign on signing day. He can excel at multiple positions
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:28 PM - TechnicalPossum: I thought kagawa was a CB and the austins were CB/AB
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:28 PM - Southpaw13: Eric do you expect Campbell to be a QB or wind up elsewhere?
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:29 PM - BabyJacket1990: I'm not saying we missed on anyone but more so just gave a scholarship out because we tried to fill numbers. Lance Richardson is one that comes to mind. I think the coaching staff could afford to be Stingy with the last few scholarships.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:29 PM - up state jacket: I see AJ Gray being like Ken Swilling, not the injured ankle version, the dominating version
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:29 PM - Eric: Kagawa is a S....One Austin is currently at S and the other at CB...I see the S one moving to A Back.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:30 PM - Madison Grant: I think they're trying to be stingy. Look at us not offering Williamson or Stewart currently.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:30 PM - Eric: @BabyJacket we wouldnt give the ship out to guys if we didnt feel they could help us. Better than holding them IMO...Walker is a good player. Curry as well. I was told we are only offering guys that we feel can help us win a title.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:31 PM - Eric: I think Campbell ends up at DB longterm, but keep that in the chat please.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:31 PM - Madison Grant: Think we offer his BIG little brother?
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:31 PM - up state jacket: I just hope Campbell ends up a Jacket
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:32 PM - TechnicalPossum: That is why this feels different. The past 3 years, it seemed like we were trying to fill the class. This is the first year we have more legit prospects than slots
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:32 PM - Madison Grant: +1 TP
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:33 PM - Madison Grant: This year, the one waiting in the wings aren't coming out of nowhere. Not that PJ Davis and Corey Griffin haven't turned out well (y)
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:33 PM - Eric: @Madison we may, it doesnt matter though. He is staying home.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:33 PM - Eric: It is due to us adding more staff...they have made a impact people arent aware of.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:34 PM - Eric: Holding to a FG was huge!
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:34 PM - BabyJacket1990: corey Griffin is going to be fun one to watch develop into a star. That's my gut feeling.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:35 PM - TechnicalPossum: @Eric where did Justin Akins end up after his transfer?
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:35 PM - Madison Grant: UCF TP, I think
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:35 PM - BabyJacket1990: @tp middle tenn
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:36 PM - Eric: @Technical at MTSU
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:36 PM - BabyJacket1990: His dad and my mom are pretty good friends. Justin got tired of the schoolwork. IN
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:37 PM - BabyJacket1990: He got lazy is what it boils down to.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:37 PM - Madison Grant: Are Justin Akins and Jordan Akins of UCF related, BJ? I know the Akins name is pretty common in Jackson
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:37 PM - BabyJacket1990: No there not
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:38 PM - TechnicalPossum: also, are we doing anything to actively rebalance class numbers so we dont end up with another small class like 2013? I hope justin does well there. He seemed like a good player
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:38 PM - Madison Grant: How's the Woods kid doing up at Vandy?
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:38 PM - SouthernJacket: Best guess as to Jabari making it on the field in 2015?
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:39 PM - BabyJacket1990: He is doing great off the field. He set on being a doctor one day. My mom still brags on his character.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:40 PM - Madison Grant: At this point SO jacket, I don't think anyone knows. Jabari has got to walk a straight line through the minefield that is Ma Tech and he won't get no sympathy
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:40 PM - Eric: @Technical Yes we are trying to be able to hit 20 every year.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:40 PM - Madison Grant: Thx BJ

Jan 10, 2015 at 10:40 PM - Eric: @Southern All I can tell you is that Jabari is VERY confident he will be playing next year for GT.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:42 PM - SouthernJacket: I hope he makes it. He is definitely working off the field. Hope he's got same drive in the classroom now.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:42 PM - BabyJacket1990: Another quick fact on Justin. He didn't believe in CPJ. He also wanted to still run around with his old high school buddy's that liked to party.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:43 PM - SouthernJacket: @BabyJacket1990 what did he not believe in CPJ about?
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:43 PM - Madison Grant: Well, he should have waited a year. I didn't think things were going to work out before this year, but . . . :)
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:45 PM - BabyJacket1990: I can't really go into details on what I told but Justin has some growing up to do. CPJ isn't going to hand feed anyone and Justin was use to that. He did the right thing when he got away from jackson.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:45 PM - Madison Grant: Eric, do we think the blonde baby face guy from Sandy Creek can put on the weight to go to DT pretty quickly? He certainly looks like he has the frame for it
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:45 PM - TechnicalPossum: it is odd to thing that only 8 of the recruiting class of 2013 is at GT
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:47 PM - Eric: @Madison It will take a couple of years IMO....He has the frame. No doubt.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:47 PM - Madison Grant: Baby, may be a loaded question, but is there hope for Jackson athletics now that the former football coach/AD is gone? Jackson used to RULE Pike in baseball
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:49 PM - BabyJacket1990: To early to say but mike Paris really screwed himself. His attitude is what got him canned. He rode that Hines ward Bs for to long.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:50 PM - BabyJacket1990: They would Pull at practice in his Mercedes Benz and
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:51 PM - BabyJacket1990: the **and** is not suppose to there
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:51 PM - TechnicalPossum: @Eric will anyone who is on the team or comitted to GT unseat PJ davis as starting LB?
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:51 PM - Madison Grant: Jackson was a great history in baseball. They were always our rival (Pike). I'd like to see them focus on that sport. Union Grove wastes so much baseball talent. They could lure those kids south.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:55 PM - BabyJacket1990: It's still football first. It's going to get better the more henry county migrates south. Locust grove is doing very well these days.
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:56 PM - BabyJacket1990: What other high school around here do you know that has a 3 million dollar fieldhouse ?
Jan 10, 2015 at 10:59 PM - up state jacket: Eric do you know why Tech doesn't recruit Calhoun-Dalton area very hard?
Jan 10, 2015 at 11:00 PM - Madison Grant: We are GT to Griffin/Spalding's UGA. You wouldn't believe the kids we lose to Spalding and Griffin recruiting them. With baseball it is literally like an SEC thing. Kids that want to cut up and have easy classes leave us and go up there to play, even though Spalding sux.
Jan 10, 2015 at 11:03 PM - BabyJacket1990: Oh I don't doubt that oneb
Jan 10, 2015 at 11:04 PM - BabyJacket1990: Bit
Jan 10, 2015 at 11:05 PM - BabyJacket1990: Spalding has coach moody who is probably the best baseball coach in middle georgia.
Jan 10, 2015 at 11:10 PM - Madison Grant: I think Pike as a better coach.
Jan 10, 2015 at 11:13 PM - Madison Grant: Moody really has been promoted by somebody though. Everyone seems to toot his horn.
Jan 10, 2015 at 11:14 PM - BabyJacket1990: They prob do. I don't follow high sports that much anymore. Only time I hear anything is when the elite coaches are at the high school. My mother will feed me in on the scoop
Jan 10, 2015 at 11:16 PM - Madison Grant: Honestly, bro, I think Moody is a bunch of hype. Don Hanson is a much better baseball coach.
Jan 10, 2015 at 11:19 PM - BabyJacket1990: Do you know Blake pariot?
Jan 10, 2015 at 11:19 PM - Madison Grant: Very well
Jan 10, 2015 at 11:21 PM - BabyJacket1990: He will prob be the next baseball coach in jackson before to long.
Jan 10, 2015 at 11:21 PM - BabyJacket1990: Small world ain't it ?
Jan 10, 2015 at 11:23 PM - Madison Grant: Blake was a great player at Pike. I know he's coaching for Spalding right now or was. It would be a great gig for him to land the baseball job at Jackson. I hope he does.
Jan 10, 2015 at 11:29 PM - BabyJacket1990: Yea he's over here now. I look for him to take over in the next few years.
Jan 10, 2015 at 11:29 PM - BabyJacket1990: He's getting married to a girl from here.
Jan 10, 2015 at 11:30 PM - Madison Grant: Yeah, is that the one he's been dating for a long, long time?
Jan 10, 2015 at 11:32 PM - BabyJacket1990: Nah he ended up falling in love with another one haha. Your thinking of the blonde brittany.
Jan 10, 2015 at 11:32 PM - Madison Grant: I used to do announcing with his dad, and he was dating a girl from Jackson back in hs.
Jan 10, 2015 at 11:33 PM - BabyJacket1990: I kid him about it every now and then when I run into him at the gym.
Jan 10, 2015 at 11:33 PM - Madison Grant: My advice to Blake would be to take the Don Hanson approach in terms of team discipline instead of the Mickey Moody approach. When you try to make everyone happy, sometimes you wind up making everyone mad.
Jan 10, 2015 at 11:35 PM - BabyJacket1990: He prob will. Blake knows his sports. Only thing wrong with him his love for UGA.
Jan 10, 2015 at 11:37 PM - BabyJacket1990: I had to hear how UGA blew that game and blah blah. I asked him how many times he re-watched the game and his answer was none. I told him to get back at me when does. I've yet to have that conversation with him.
