Jan 17, 2015 at 8:02 PM - AE 87: wow way too much small talk in the first minute of chat
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:02 PM - nod: hey
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:03 PM - ramblin_man: How's Curry's visit developing
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:03 PM - seedjckt: Good evening
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:03 PM - Sheldon's: Any new info on Anree?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:03 PM - Eric: @ramblin_man I talked to my friend this morning and he said things were going great...I heard this has been one of the best recruiting visits we have had. Seems the team is more involved in recruiting...I will talk to my friend on the staff something later tonight.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:03 PM - Madison Grant: Who will snag the last two ships, Eric?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:03 PM - Eric: Nothing new on Anree...I expect him to be a Stanford commit soon.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:04 PM - Eric: Still think it will be Walker and Curry...I would say I am more confident on Curry atm.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:04 PM - SimpleGT: Are the guys already committed working on the recruits?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:04 PM - TechnicalPossum: What are the thoughts on Singleton and C. Campbell at this point?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:04 PM - crl85: How about singleton? Is he saying he's solid?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:05 PM - Eric: I want the info in this chat tonight, to stay in this chat...dont spread this around on other forums.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:05 PM - Sheldon's: Does the staff still think Singleton visiting Cal next week?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:05 PM - ybeenormal: Dylan Jackson still on the outside looking in?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:05 PM - SimpleGT: double pinky swear
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:05 PM - seedjckt: Sure thing Eric
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:05 PM - nod: my word
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:06 PM - GPD: Copy that Eric
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:06 PM - buzz_wiser©: no problem
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:06 PM - TechnicalPossum: There are otehr forums?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:06 PM - Eric: Havent talked to Singleton yet...I sill expect him to take other visits next week...Campbell is also considering a visit to Cal. I think we are more likely to keep CC still.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:06 PM - Eric: Dylan jackson wont visit if we are full next week.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:06 PM - Eric: Give me just a minute...gotta run. WIll brb
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:06 PM - nod: Brad Stewart visiting next week?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:06 PM - ramblin_man: Ok hope it is new news
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:08 PM - awbuzz: Any insight into Singltons picture he posted today on twitter? Didn't look "exceited" https://gtswarm.com/threads/wr-brandon-singleton-bsingleton19.3115/page-20
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:08 PM - Eric: Thats just SIngleton, dont take anything from that pic.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:08 PM - Madison Grant: Eh, Philpott didn't look excited in his pic either
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:08 PM - Eric: No Brad is not visiting next week.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:08 PM - Madison Grant: Some guys like to look tough
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:09 PM - crl85: That's sucks that CC is considering cal
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:09 PM - Legal Jacket: singleton looks stoned in that pic, lol
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:09 PM - Madison Grant: He won't last at Tech if that's the case!
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:09 PM - awbuzz: that or a very late night last night
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:09 PM - Eric: I have been told that Curry and Walker have one chance to commit....if they do not commit after they meet with CPJ tomorrow then we will be moving on from both Walker and Curry.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:09 PM - nod: waller on tv now
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:09 PM - Sheldon's: So is tomorrow when CPJ tells CC and Singleton to not get on that plane?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:10 PM - Eric: The recruits were out very late last night. Team showed them the town.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:10 PM - TechnicalPossum: CPJ isnt playing.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:10 PM - Eric: Yes...when CPJ meets with them tomorrow 1 on 1 they will be told if they visit then we will start looking as well.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:11 PM - crl85: If they get on that plane then they are basically committing to cal before ever seeing the place
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:11 PM - MWBATL: Why is PJ doing an in home with Brad Stewart if not to offer him?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:11 PM - Eric: On Curry...I have heard some chatter that he is no longer a UVa commit. That is a rumor at this point Have been told they havent expected him to end up at Uva for quite awhile.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:12 PM - TechnicalPossum: They as in UVA? Also, if Curry and Walker commit, will alexander visit?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:12 PM - Eric: Doing a in home with Stewart because he is a backup option....you dont wont to be left in the cold if someone jumps ship. Just smart recruiting..we have one other WR ahead of him at this time.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:12 PM - Madison Grant: Singleton's dad used to play for the Niners. Wonder if the Cal thing is due to his NoCal connections
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:12 PM - Eric: Yes they as in UVa.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:13 PM - MWBATL: Sounds like we have lots of good options
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:13 PM - Madison Grant: I know you said the other receiver is committed to another team and you can't give a name. Is he committed to a Power 5 team?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:13 PM - Eric: Yes VIc will still visit unless he decides to remain solid to UCLA.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:13 PM - Legal Jacket: How do we even figure out the recruits are visiting somewhere else?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:13 PM - Sheldon's: Is the other we committed elsewhere? Understand you can't name name, but can you say who he is similar to?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:13 PM - seedjckt: Eric can you explain what happened to the third ship? Everyone seem to think there was 3 ships until the beginning of this week.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:13 PM - crl85: I'm not mad about singleton It sounds like he doesn't want to be here. The CC to cal thing is an unpleasant surprise
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:13 PM - Eric: Yes he is committed to a power 5 school.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:13 PM - buzz_wiser©: who do you expect to be the next concrete commit
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:14 PM - SimpleGT: Any speculation on PWOs?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:14 PM - LibertyTurns: Need to only sign guys that want to be here
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:14 PM - Eric: Most of the times recruits will tell...we will find out one way or the other. Sometimes i ask and they tell me and I pass it on...Sometimes we talk to other staffs. It always comes out.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:14 PM - Sheldon's: Meant to type who would other WR be similar to?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:15 PM - GPD: wonder what BS's beef is....? Did something happen?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:15 PM - Legal Jacket: Also Eric, thanks a lot for doing this. Greatly appreciated
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:15 PM - TechnicalPossum: I bet twitter helps that. Do you see any of out current commits ending up homesick/not likeing the scheme a la Vad?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:15 PM - Eric: I cant explain the third ship, I was told three until this week. I still think we may end up taking three. We are working on it. Two would be our limit as of now.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:15 PM - Eric: Too early to know PWOs
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:16 PM - Sheldon's: Everyone except CC and BS solid?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:16 PM - Madison Grant: What about stuff coming from other places regarding transfers after the Spring? You know anything along those lines, Eric?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:16 PM - seedjckt: Thanks Eric, I appreciate this chat session.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:16 PM - Eric: No beef with Singleton...he is still committed to GT and hasnt visited another school yet. He is just someone who can get caught up in getting more touches.

 

[SwarmBot]

Jan 17, 2015 at 8:17 PM - Eric: Yes everyone seems VERY solid at this time. ANyone else flipping would shock me.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:17 PM - Eric: That is something you cant predict @Technical
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:17 PM - GPD: ok got it.. wonder why he ever committed to begin with... same GT he committed to, except even better
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:18 PM - GTNavyNuke: Eric, the difference in numbers has to be hard to guess. Could be someone isn't leaving; could be a silent commit; could be someone we expected to decommit isn't; could be anything. It has to be hard with HS kids with the biggest decision of their life so far.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:18 PM - seedjckt: With the returning players on the OL, do you think W Bryan will see the field this year?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:18 PM - Eric: We will be looking at certain transfers after NSD....as of now our main focus is on recruits. If we have people leave we will look for more.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:18 PM - awbuzz: Guess we'll know better about Brandon after his meeting with CPJ tomorrow.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:18 PM - TechnicalPossum: Gotcha. Now that Nick MArshall is in play, is it still a positive that we took JJ Green?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:19 PM - Eric: He committed to GT because we were his best offer and he liked us. Also only had one WR spot left.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:19 PM - TechnicalPossum: *marcus not nck
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:19 PM - Eric: I see Will taking a RS now.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:19 PM - Legal Jacket: Yeah, much easier to commit and back out later bc a better offer comes along, as opposed to wait until NSD and have spots start to fill up
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:19 PM - GTNavyNuke: Are there any positions that we have a hole right now? Seems we have everything covered.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:19 PM - Eric: We wont know on Singleton until next weekend...We expect him to come out saying he is solid.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:20 PM - Madison Grant: Any news on 2016 recruits?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:20 PM - GPD: thanks E
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:20 PM - CuseJacket: Wonder if the staff would be ok w/ one of those guys visiting elsewhere... sounds like we have a numbers crunch with the remaining schollies and we have 2 other WR committed
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:20 PM - Eric: Of course...we needed class separation at A Back. JJ is a great one as well.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:20 PM - Eric: Some of our coaches want to add another DL.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:20 PM - TechnicalPossum: 85% of the forum agrees with adding more DL
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:21 PM - GTNavyNuke: After the last two years DL attrition, can never have enough.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:21 PM - Eric: I am all on 2015 until NSD...2016 isnt a thought for me right now.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:21 PM - Sheldon's: Things seem much more solid this year than in years past. What do you think made the difference this year?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:21 PM - Eric: @Cuse Bluntly I can say yes...one of our coaches told me that is his opinion.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:22 PM - Eric: @sheldon...you are right. Better recruiting staff, more people on staff, got kids committed early, winning.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:22 PM - GTNavyNuke: Wow, Eric. I can never remember us being in the position of "trading up" if someone left so close to NSD
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:23 PM - seedjckt: any idea on Whiteheads weight this days? Will he only be a pass rushing end??
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:23 PM - Eric: Indeed Nuke...we have some good options on table...Curry, Walker, Stewart, Vic, Jackson, Marshall, Dawson, etc.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:23 PM - Eric: @seed he is still small. No idea on weight...yeah I see him as a pass rusher at this time.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:24 PM - SimpleGT: Is the staff happy with the position distribution in this class (other than maybe another DL)?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:24 PM - Sheldon's: How many 1 to 8 guys do you think we have in this class if signing day were today?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:24 PM - Legal Jacket: Seems that we had a bubble this past year with 4 ABs and 3 BBs graduating - do you think that was bad luck / happenstance or poor planning?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:24 PM - Eric: Yes the staff loves our class....
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:25 PM - Jerry the Jacket: Singleton looks very thin. Reminds me of some of Bill Lewis' recruits.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:25 PM - Eric: I would say a few Gray, MLD, Howell, Philpott, Henderson and Wigley are some I would look at as 1-8
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:25 PM - buzz_wiser©: who does the staff want to commit the most
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:25 PM - Madison Grant: What was the staff's reason for not pursuing Chris Williamson and Farrar? Just curious if you know, Eric
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:25 PM - GTNavyNuke: Legal - it's the way it worked out I think. Between QBs becoming RBs and attrition at other positions, it seems to have just sort of happened. My guess only.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:26 PM - seedjckt: Does Dawson look fast enough for the ACC? Would he be a DT in the long run? I think Sellers stays at DE. He would need to add a lot of weight to play DT.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:26 PM - Eric: @legal some of all of that.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:27 PM - Eric: @madison they like the guys we have more really...Farrar is still someone that is on our board. Could pursue if we dont get Curry.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:27 PM - Madison Grant: Thx
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:27 PM - Eric: I am not sure who the staff wants the most..My friend wouldnt give that out.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:27 PM - TechnicalPossum: any transfers we are still looking at?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:27 PM - Eric: I think Dawson would be a decent player...depth guy mostly. No he would be a DE....Sellers has a lot of growing to do still.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:28 PM - Peacone36: Holy cow I've never seen this many ppl in here
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:28 PM - TechnicalPossum: I would be willing to guess who the staff wants the most depends on who on staff you ask.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:28 PM - Madison Grant: Isn't Sellers kind of young, like a late summer birthday or something?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:28 PM - GTNavyNuke: @Peacone36, and this many sober people too.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:28 PM - Peacone36: Lol
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:28 PM - Eric: Transfers are something we will pursue more after NSD...I have no clue on certain people.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:29 PM - Eric: Probably right Technical...
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:29 PM - awbuzz: @peacone - just a few more that the average basketball game
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:29 PM - Eric: Yeah I think Sellers is just 17.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:29 PM - Peacone36: Indeed
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:29 PM - TechnicalPossum: There is a difference between sover and noisly drunk NavyNuke
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:30 PM - buzz_wiser©: I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of crowd shows up for spring game. this is getting exciting and it's just recruiting functions.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:31 PM - Jerry the Jacket: Depends on the weather!
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:31 PM - Eric: We could know tonight if anyone is going to commit tomorrow..I should have more on that soon.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:32 PM - Legal Jacket: awesome
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:32 PM - awbuzz: thanks
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:32 PM - buzz_wiser©: yes sir @jj.i hope it cooperates
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:32 PM - awbuzz: eric, was about to ask if your source(s) had any insight as to who may commit.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:32 PM - Legal Jacket: If we keep it rolling next year we are going to have a tremendous chance to expand visibility for the program - this is the most "big games" I can remember on the schedule in a while
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:33 PM - Eric: I dont want to break commits (assuming we get any) before they want it out..I may drop a hint in a thread if I find something out, Will wait for them to make it official.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:33 PM - Sheldon's: If we win all next year there will be no gripes about sos
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:33 PM - awbuzz: Been to the Spring game rain or shine for a while now. That last one was ridiculous... almost as bad as the UNC game a couple of years ago.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:34 PM - buzz_wiser©: I agree..it was only colder...
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:34 PM - awbuzz: makes sense Eric. We don't want you to burn any bridges.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:34 PM - Jerry the Jacket: Yeah I was at both.

 

[SwarmBot]

Jan 17, 2015 at 8:34 PM - Legal Jacket: that unc game was great - I was yelling and screaming at our D in the pouring rain to finish the drill and close the game out
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:35 PM - awbuzz: i think there was literally 2 inches or so that came doen during that UNC game.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:35 PM - GTNavyNuke: In that UNC game, we couldn't see across the field. Which is good and helped us come back from 2 scores down. I am looking forward to the season but the wife is advising we should just get single game tickets (600 miles away and no kid in college for the first time in 10 years)!
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:35 PM - buzz_wiser©: who is coming next wknd to visit
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:36 PM - OldJacketFan: Eric do the coaches feel that the is their bext class top to bottom? I ask that because in my view the talent level on this class appears to very close 1-22
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:36 PM - Eric: I have a few more minutes...got a pregnant wife to take care of
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:36 PM - Legal Jacket: mazel tov
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:36 PM - TechnicalPossum: Pickles or olives, Eric?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:36 PM - danny daniel: Any insight on how our 4 EEs are adjusting, fitting in, buddying up, working out, etc.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:36 PM - GTNavyNuke: Hopefully the coaches say every class is the best one .....
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:36 PM - Eric: I am not sure on all yet...uncommitted as of now...Marshall, Alexander and Jackson.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:36 PM - Eric: Yes indeed oldjacket.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:37 PM - OldJacketFan: ah I remember that, with out 1st my ex ate tuesday and saturdays lol!
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:37 PM - TampaGT: If we fill up this weekend, will they cancel the uncommitted visits
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:37 PM - OldJacketFan: Eric thx
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:37 PM - Eric: @tampa I thinks some will still visit.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:37 PM - DvilleJacket: Is Singleton still expected to flip?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:38 PM - Jerry the Jacket: Quashawn is playing pretty well tonight. Waller must have got hurt early. Have not seen him back in since early in the game.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:38 PM - Eric: I still expect him to.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:38 PM - awbuzz: future looking good (2 - 3 years out) with last year's and this year's classes. (not knocking any earlier classes)
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:38 PM - SimpleGT: thanks
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:38 PM - Buzzbomb: Take care of the wife, little one. Best wishes.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:38 PM - buzz_wiser©: thank for keeping us informed. the suspense surely gets to you as well
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:38 PM - Eric: Thanks fellas.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:39 PM - SimpleGT: thanks
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:39 PM - seedjckt: How early did Freeman stick out to the older guys, last year? Was it spring practice or winter workouts?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:39 PM - awbuzz: Enjoy... happy wife = happy life.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:39 PM - OldJacketFan: yeah but Eric has those snippets to keep him going
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:39 PM - Legal Jacket: What's the word on JHD - any chance he gets back next year?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:39 PM - Eric: Spring was really when we notice him.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:39 PM - TechnicalPossum: Any walkons from last year who will likely end up on scholly this year?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:39 PM - Eric: Jabari expects to be back.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:39 PM - buzz_wiser©: yes he does
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:40 PM - Eric: Walkons only get on ship when they make the two deep.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:40 PM - awbuzz: good hope JHD makes it back. Means he's improved the grades and is on course to graduate.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:40 PM - Madison Grant: Not that I don't value good walk-ons, but I like that we're recruiting well enough that some may miss out on a 'ship
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:41 PM - Madison Grant: Any chance the Stewart kid walks on if he doesn't get a scholarship?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:41 PM - Eric: Dont think so.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:42 PM - OldJacketFan: Did anyone else notice the arms on MLD in his photo? Man he looks like he is real good shape!
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:42 PM - DrJacket: My wife and I watched MLD play basketball recently. He's a grown man.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:42 PM - TechnicalPossum: Do you see ken allen going to a small school or is he a probable PWO?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:42 PM - GTNavyNuke: Eric - what do you think are the odds that JHD plays this fall? A former trainer thought it was about 80% .......
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:43 PM - DvilleJacket: So is Anree done?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:43 PM - Eric: I see Ken at a small school.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:43 PM - OldJacketFan: DrJacket he sure looks that way
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:43 PM - Eric: I think its very likely he plays.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:44 PM - Eric: Anree should be a Stanford commit soon. unless something goes wrong on his visit.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:44 PM - OldJacketFan: Hoping to see Dylan have a good visit next week!
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:44 PM - seedjckt: The coach seem to go up and down on the 2nd starting DE. How do the feel about Chungong?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:45 PM - Madison Grant: With a reported 26 ACT and a 3.5, were 'academics' the real reason Farrar didn't get into Stanford, or was the admissions process used to cut him loose by their coaches?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:45 PM - TechnicalPossum: Which non WR senior do you thing the team will miss the most next year?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:45 PM - DrJacket: There are so many variables to someone redshirting or not. But, one of the boxes that have to be clicked is that they are physically ready. PJ Davis was. Keshawn Freeman was. MLD is, in my opinion, ready even for B-back. But, we'll see if he can get the rest of it down.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:45 PM - Legal Jacket: hopefully he hates Stanford's building architecture
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:45 PM - Eric: Chungong is better against the run than the pass.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:46 PM - TechnicalPossum: @LJacket - I think it will be the distance if it is anything.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:46 PM - Eric: Stanford used the admission to cut him loose. he could have got in.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:46 PM - DvilleJacket: Hopefully he gets homesick over the trip lol
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:46 PM - Eric: Shaq Mason by far.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:46 PM - Madison Grant: That's DIRTY.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:46 PM - OldJacketFan: Eric what are the chances to land Dylan?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:46 PM - ybeenormal: that's SEC like
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:47 PM - Legal Jacket: I'll get our Palo office to do something crazy to scare him off
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:47 PM - Eric: have to have room to land Dylan first...hard to know until we get him on campus. Dont think its good at this time.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:47 PM - Madison Grant: That info should definitely get passed along to St. Amour
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:47 PM - GTBME: Horrible. Farrar was committed for more than a year....
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:48 PM - Eric: It could already be too late for Saint Amour to be a Jacket...
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:48 PM - OldJacketFan: there's that pesky room thing again!
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:48 PM - Pj4prez01: I agree. Pretty dirty
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:48 PM - GTBME: ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:48 PM - TechnicalPossum: Have we been working on dylan jackson all along or was he a late pickup?

Jan 17, 2015 at 8:49 PM - Madison Grant: Wonder if Dylan Jackson and Nathan Cottrell are personall acquainted?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:49 PM - seedjckt: Do you see Scout Morgan being the next Gotis?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:49 PM - OldJacketFan: Madison on the football field they are West and Maryville play most every year
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:49 PM - seedjckt: How would you rate the commited DL in this class?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:50 PM - Eric: We have been recruiting him but picked it up lately...after he decommitted from UT
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:50 PM - Eric: No I think Scott is more of a big body run stuffer. Gotsis more athletic.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:50 PM - Madison Grant: you mean 'was decommited by UT'
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:50 PM - OldJacketFan: Why would Stanford's actions surprise anybody? Harbaugh set the norm and it's continuing
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:50 PM - GTBME: Makes me wonder if the Woodward Academy-Stanford pipeline will take a serious hit.....
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:50 PM - Eric: Henderson, Glanton, Morgan, Sellers.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:51 PM - Madison Grant: You'd think so GTBME, but they may be used to it with all the SEC coaches around recruiting their players
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:51 PM - Eric: Gotta run now...Sorry I couldnt make it a longer chat. We will do it again sometime soon.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:51 PM - TechnicalPossum: Thanks Eric
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:51 PM - seedjckt: Thanks Eric!!

Jan 17, 2015 at 8:52 PM - GPD: thanks again!
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:52 PM - OldJacketFan: Take care of the wife and little one to be Eric, thanls!

Jan 17, 2015 at 8:52 PM - buzz_wiser©: time.for
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:53 PM - Eric: Yes I expect at least one.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:53 PM - Eric: Thanks everyone!
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:53 PM - TechnicalPossum: It is a definite maybe. Eric mentioned that UVA has not been expecting Curry to sign for a while.
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:53 PM - TechnicalPossum: Also, as Eric requested, what is said in the chat, stays in the chat
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:54 PM - Legal Jacket: yeah otherwise he will sick me on you, lol
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:54 PM - Legal Jacket: can't wait for spring practice
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:57 PM - OldJacketFan: Are we going to start the '15 party at the Spring game?
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:57 PM - TechnicalPossum: I want to see how AJ gray responds to playing agaisnt peers instead of being a bg fish in a small pond
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:57 PM - buzz_wiser©: you are as ready as I am legal Jacket. beesball needs to start to give us something to pass the time with
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:57 PM - TechnicalPossum: *big
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:58 PM - buzz_wiser©: we should plan a tailgate lol for spring game
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:58 PM - OldJacketFan: buzz absolutely!
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:59 PM - buzz_wiser©: we have enough time to throw something together .
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:59 PM - awbuzz: plan on seeing folks there!
Jan 17, 2015 at 8:59 PM - buzz_wiser©: Maybe something at Peters deck
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:00 PM - OldJacketFan: aw if not before then
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:02 PM - Legal Jacket: is tailgating for practice excessive?
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:02 PM - AE 87: was there news?
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:03 PM - Legal Jacket: not really
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:03 PM - Legal Jacket: eric is looking into if anyone is committing tonight and will drop a vague hint if so
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:03 PM - AE 87: k
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:04 PM - Legal Jacket: everything else along what you expect - if you have any specific questions we may be able to answer based on what eric said (obviously keep all the info confidential)
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:04 PM - OldJacketFan: LegalJacket it's only excessive it we make it so
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:05 PM - NorthGaJacket15: Any new names mentioned in here that we didn't already know?
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:05 PM - NorthGaJacket15: Can't see back all the way on the chat... Sorry to be late!
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:06 PM - Legal Jacket: not really
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:06 PM - Legal Jacket: basically we got 2 spots for five people and more if anybody flips
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:07 PM - Legal Jacket: singleton is the strongest chance to de commit, after that CC, eric thinks everyone else is rock solid
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:07 PM - buzz_wiser©: not at all excessive legal.
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:07 PM - NorthGaJacket15: So he is still worried a bit about CC?
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:08 PM - NorthGaJacket15: Dylan Jackson information?
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:08 PM - Legal Jacket: some on the staff may hope we get a decommit to open up spots for the five we are currently targeting, but didn't seem like that was a shared thought amongst all the staff
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:08 PM - Legal Jacket: jackson odds weren't good, but largely because of space
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:08 PM - Legal Jacket: eric is still worried about CC, but not as much as singleton and thinks CC ends up staying
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:09 PM - NorthGaJacket15: Are we still thinking possibly Curry and Walker this weekend?
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:09 PM - jeffgt14: Damn it. He said 8 eastern time. Missed the good stuff
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:09 PM - NorthGaJacket15: Did I see in a thread there are 14 in town instead of the 12 planned?
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:10 PM - Legal Jacket: yeah it sounded like at least one, but i don't remember if eric had thoughts on who in particular
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:10 PM - Legal Jacket: don't know re 14 v 12, anyone else?
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:10 PM - OldJacketFan: My feeling from the conversation it would be Curry
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:11 PM - Legal Jacket: the other big news is amour is pretty much gone
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:11 PM - TechnicalPossum: Not sure. In short, the two uncomitted get first crack at the openings. 1 on 1 talks with CPJ are tomorrow to include commitments and the dont go on a trip talks.
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:13 PM - buzz_wiser©: I can't imagine what kind of wheeling and dealing is going on for recruits

Jan 17, 2015 at 9:13 PM - NorthGaJacket15: Maybe, if Anree is gone... Something will open up for Jackson and then we'll see what we can do. Is he visiting for sure next week?
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:13 PM - TechnicalPossum: JAckson is visiting if we are not full
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:13 PM - OldJacketFan: Jackson is scheduled for next weekend
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:14 PM - TechnicalPossum: Additionally, no available info on why we went from 3 spots to 2 spots
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:14 PM - NorthGaJacket15: That's encouraging... Maybe they can get him to come "in case" of a flip from Singleton or someone else
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:15 PM - DrJacket: Is there any way to see back to the beginning of the chat?
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:15 PM - Legal Jacket: i don't think so and i wasn't saving it
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:16 PM - Legal Jacket: it sounded like it wasn't necessarily a bad thing if anyone de commits given the number of interested targets we had left
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:16 PM - OldJacketFan: Only if Eric or one of the others archive it
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:16 PM - TechnicalPossum: This seemed like the best postion we have been in this close to NSD since I have been following
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:17 PM - TechnicalPossum: I do not think it is archived as it was requested that what was said in chat stay in chat
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:31 PM - ramblin_man: I wonder how the visits are going this far?
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:33 PM - Legal Jacket: sounded like they were going great
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:33 PM - Legal Jacket: and that the team was really into helping out
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:38 PM - Eric: No on 14 visitors...we have 12.
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:40 PM - ramblin_man: Who is on deck for CPJ or Roof to conduct a in home visit with?
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:41 PM - Eric: CPJ does a in home with all of the commits.
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:41 PM - Eric: Will do Stewart, Vic, Marshall and Jackson as well I assume.
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:50 PM - ramblin_man: If one of the commits says I am coming to GT do you think it will sway the others to jump on
Jan 17, 2015 at 9:55 PM - UgaBlows: Anything new?
Jan 17, 2015 at 10:16 PM - hwdgeplague: yes. hedgeplague has an offer...expected to commit on the spot. ..
Jan 17, 2015 at 10:23 PM - Butler22: Since I was late to the party, can someone clue me in please? Thank you
Jan 17, 2015 at 10:40 PM - jayparr: Just got back from seeing American Sniper! Would appreciate some info!
Jan 17, 2015 at 11:14 PM - ramblin_man: Or be left out?
Jan 17, 2015 at 11:24 PM - Legal Jacket: not much new really
Jan 17, 2015 at 11:25 PM - Legal Jacket: eric was saying surprise 5 star bb who should start immediately, but thats it
Jan 17, 2015 at 11:55 PM - jayparr: Thanks Legal!!!!
