[gtee91]

What rules apply to any of this?

We have no idea what has been said, much less signed...all we know is what observers like on3 report

Big news

Height may have researched Lubbock TX and realized he was messing up

Of course I was making a huge assumption that nobody hacked his twitter account and then resposted on3sport's false announcement he was entering the portal. Just seemed like a stretch to me.

As I said and you keep proving, you know only what you saw. Clearly you like to judge on little info and you assume there’s no other pertinent info that happened that you know nothing of. Understood. Judge away.

According to Google A.I.:

"If you enter the transfer portal and then decide to withdraw your name after committing to a new school, you can do so by contacting your current school's compliance office and informing them of your decision to stay at your current institution"

So that applies to our commits as well...

I spent a month in Lubbock one weekend and can tell you straight up that if Height visited, after 10 minutes he was thinking “WT_ was I thinking?!?!”

Young man knowa a great situation when he sees it. Good for everyone.

The rumors I have seen were Height, not ES. Anything is possible.

That would be a great Christmas gift!!

TT is for him if he is a waterfowl or mexican quail hunter. He is all set thru January. North 2 hours is Amarillo for ducks and east 2 hours is knox county for geese. Yea, u get up very early, set out lots of decoys and then dig a shallow pit blind. In the fall he can ride on jeep hood to shoot at qual running along ground. He may prefer flat land- lubbock is so flat you can watch your dog run away for 3 days

Or if Gt is for him - he can enjoy Atlanta sport and entertainment scene as a young football player at Gt.

OTOH......
One of my sons played college baseball in Louisiana...his mom and I flew out to Lubbock for weekend series..... after Sun afternoon game, we met him as team got on the bus for 10 hour ride back to New Orleans..... he says, "Dad, I'm transferring to Texas Tech....have you ever seen this many beautiful girls in one place?"
Pretty girls everywhere, I know, but have to admit that it was certainly a target-rich environment.
(No, he did not transfer. Worse, he went 2 for 12.....oh well, long trip)

Pretty sure the On3 tweet was that he was going to the Portal, not that he was in the Portal. However, that could have changed afterwards. I nexer saw an announcement that he was in the Portal.

That's the only reason to transfer to Ole Miss. Oh. My. Gawd.

I hear he is staying at GT.

He did retweet the ON3 tweet

All I can say for athletes who are running for the money now is I hope they don't repeat the Georgia Tech Sammy Drummer story, thinking that sports are their life and that a million dollars will last a lifetime, not realizing that a degree from Georgia Tech would. Sammy put sports ahead of everything, including getting a degree, not making the NBA, and wound up a janitor at age 35 and was killed in an alleged drug deal in Muncie, his home town.

Sports is just a part of life in their youth for most. Those who who do make it to the next level and make lots of money at it, often have unfulfilled lives when they reach the age of many of us now. My advice to today's student athletes is "meet your commitments to your college, coaches, and your game, and finish your degree and your mothers and grand kids will be proud. You are at the age of developing character and integrity that will be you the rest of your life." That was the advice of Homer Rice to thousands of athletes in his 97 years. These transferring athletes will not be major contributors to Georgia Tech as graduates and will be soon forgotten. I have very little respect for them unless they get their degree and then transfer to grad school if they want to play sports at the college level later. Georgia Tech made an investment in these athletes, and they did not do their part because of the lure of NIL and no-fault transfer. This is just my personal feelings on what sports and athletes have become.

Not that I'm bitter or anything, but we could also name (I won't) the guy who transferred to Nebraska before transferring again to Arizona State where he did not start.

Then there's what's-his-name who bailed on us and went to Alabama before moving on to some team in Michigan.

These guys could've had their jerseys retired, their names on a ring of the stadium, and a standing O at every homecoming for life.

But no...we don't wanna stay at Tech and be immortal...we wanna go after the money!

I never really thought Malik the Beast would leave. Truly a team player and my favorite player as well.

 

[AUFC]

So now Malik has gotten his bag. We need him to work his *** off to get better for the next 8 months and lead our offense to an ACC Championship. Just ask any NFL WR in the final year of their contract: it's really easy to get complacent after earning generational wealth and follow it up with a let down year. Malik needs to crave an ACC title like a 1371 student craves a 0-based indexed programming language.

Would you care to translate that last sentence for an OLD liberal arts graduate who raises his arms triumphantly at being able to turn the computer on?
