Hope so. He was not real good last year. He deserves a scholarship but for now he is a solid backup. He may become a good starter in a year or two.Fusile is going to be a great one. He is just one of those individuals who will not be denied.
Optimistic for sure. This transfer clearly has more experience and success than any receiver on our roster. Will he produce stepping up to P5 is the question.Big frame as an outside WR. Was Duquesne’s 2nd leading receiver behind their slot guy. I think Rutherford will be a solid replacement for Nate’s production, and this guy will be replacing Malachi Carter basically. I think we’ll see a lot of 4 WR sets this year so having productive wideouts will be important. I think he’ll be solid. I hope we end up using Leo Blackburn kind of how UGA uses Bowers. A matchup nightmare who can catch and run with the ball.
If all goes according to plan I can definitely see our top 3 WRs being some combination of Rutherford, Blackburn, and Janneh. Blackstrain, DJ Moore, and Ryan King will provide solid options as well.
I think he’ll adjust fine to the higher level of competition. Duquesne was a really bad FCS team at 4-7 last year. It’s hard for a receiver to put up really good numbers if he’s in an offense that isn’t very good. I mean, Jalen Camp is an NFL WR and his best year at Tech he had 27 catches for 417 yards. Based on the frame alone I’m excited to see what Janneh can do. Especially when put in an offense that can hopefully really start turning some gears with the minds we’ve put together on the offensive staff.Optimistic for sure.

One never knows how a transfer like this will do.Will he produce stepping up to P5 is the question.
Absolutely. My attitude toward the comings and goings of coaches and players has done a 180 over the past few years. Teams and staffs have to be reconstructed yearly. You always had graduation, but the transfer market has redoubled the pace of turnover. You still have to develop players, but transfers in and out are now a fact of life. We just have to deal with it and try to get more talent coming in than going out. As for coaches, seems few of the assistants stick around for more than 2 or 3 years, and HCs who stay for 10 years are getting rarer. We have to have a way to build a foundation on shifting sands, and in order to do that we have to be flexible. As for development, the program that puts that on a fast track, especially for incoming diamonds in the rough, is the program that will get ahead of the game.I think going forward we need to look at everyone as temporary this includes players and coaches. I have said before, that modern day college football is a one year deal at best. No longer can you look at the game in the traditional way of offering a player a scholarship, bringing him into the program, investing in his development with the high probability of receiving a return at some future date. The top end players now have leverage and will come and go based on what they preceive to be the best deal for them. Georgia Tech will be less affected by this than the factory schools but we still will be to a degree.
I think the key to our success going forward is learning how to manage this process to our best advantage. It would be more productive to embrace the new world and exploit it to our advantage, not to resist and fight it and get angry every time one of our players chooses to transfer. Let's get proactive in finding and recruiting other teams players that fit our needs for the upcoming season. I think you have to prioritze the year you are in and pay less attention to next year and down the road. Some of that will work itself out and you can implememt things to keep your better players in the fold, until they graduate or go pro. Transversly, you can also implement ways to encourage those underperformer to move on and free up scholarships for higher potetial performing players.
Same is true of the coaching staff. You best have a pipeline in place and be prepared to replace coaches on a yearly basis.
Just my thoughts on the new world of collegiate football.
Go Jackets!
High four-star out of H.S. speedster buried on the 'Bama depth chart with 3 years of eligibility. Me like, too!10.5 100 meter guy. Me like!
Who?Didn't he leave GT? Is he coming back?
I'm not sure, but maybe we do it different and set up stability in our HC and that becomes a real selling point to kids coming out of HS. Think ma be right about changing out other coaches to fit the current need. Just a thought, we seem to be headed towards doing things a little different than some of the others, which I like personally.Absolutely.
