Bingo!No, things will not change. Apparently KW, Johnson, and the GMC coach all knew this could happen. He gave it his best with 100% encouragement from both Tech and GMC; he just came up short. He was prepared for it, but I'm sure he's still not happy. On the plus side, he has a year to get used to the hell that Tech can be.
Tech wanted this guy whether we was going to be eligible this year or not. People forget that when he came out of high school he had dozens of offers from top ranked schools including Tech, Clemson, Georgia, Miami, Notre Dame, Penn State, South Carolina and VPI. Whitehead apparently told Tech he could pull off taking a massive number of courses this summer and be eligible to play this year. Tech probably said, "Great, go for it!" Meanwhile what Tech said all along in the press and to anyone we asked was that we don't know when he will come to Tech. They never misled because they never knew until the final grades came in whether or not he would have enough hours. Nothing mysterious about this.
