Should we expect an announcement from Ian Mathews soon? Certainly it's speculation, but geez Ivey seemed poised for a breakout 2022 season with us. From an outside view, it doesn't make much sense as he seems he would have a big spot on the field for 2022. Oh well, I wish him success in the future.

During the season Ivey lost his #15 and was demoted to #62. Something was definitely up with Ivey.

???
I don’t remember that being the case but will take your word for it.

I hope more talent and ability hasn't exited out the portal than entered.
We don't yet know what we have, but what we've lost is substantial.

JacketsOnline - Tech DE Jared Ivey enters the transfer portal

After two productive seasons at Georgia Tech, defensive end Jared Ivey entered his name in the transfer portal on

georgiatech.rivals.com

"During fall camp he also lost his jersey number and was demoted to #62 for reasons not disclosed by Ivey or the staff before earning back his #15."

Given his measurables and potential you have to wonder if a bigger school came calling.

Strange timing. I think we'll have a guess as to how bad a loss this is by where he lands.

I thought he would be a breakout player for us. Especially frustrating when you think of how vocal on social media his mom was about the school. Tough losing that as well.

No matter how you view this, it cannot improve our chances of turning this ship around. We need every DL player with ability we can find. True freshman rarely make a huge difference.

 

[TromboneJacket]

That’s really concerning for the program. I’m shocked, and I don’t know how this happened. He was absolutely projected to be a dominant starter. The timing is a little strange. Not sure why he’d wait until a few weeks after the start of the semester to announce it.

This has a kind of “You live by the portal; you die by the portal” feel to it.

Coleman?

 

[Tundeballer]

Hard to be mad about losing a defensive end who only had 1.5 sacks in two years but feels like his best ball are ahead of him.

Also hated how we developed him. He was a 220 lb edge rusher out of high school that was quick and could bend. He added 50 lbs in two seasons and completely changed his body. The extra weight helped against the run, but took away what he did best coming out of high school which was getting after the passer.

 

[Northeast Stinger]

With all the transfers in and out of programs I think it is going to be really hard to make pre-season picks on team rankings. Outside of perhaps the top five this year will have even more flat out guessing than normal.

His Mom also caught a lot of crap on social media from people claiming to be "Tech fans".

Safe to say Collins 2020 class was a bust. Sims inconsistent, Gibbs gone, Ivey Gone. Those were 3 of the highest rated recruits Tech has signed in the modern era.

Well, personally I believe Coach Collins has been a large bust thus far. It is him and the coaching staff that has the responsibility of developing and keeping their recruits.
