Per Football Scoop Tulane OC Will Hall will be announced later today as HC.

This will be a static page that Alex and I update as kid go into the portal and targets emerge, I'll also post names in this thread.

So much happened last night in Athens and seeing how emotional Brent Key was after the game and seeing him and his reaction to losing a game in 8 overtimes that probably should've never made it to overtime was interesting. Like most of you, I haven't really slept much either. I got home at 3:40 am last night from Athens.

I was on the field for UGA's final scoring drive in regulation through all of the eight overtimes. I spent much of that time standing with President Cabrera, Key's family and the GT people on the sideline. At one point, Cabrera said, "We are seeing history." They were all bought in. J Batt was a few feet away as well living and dying with every possession and play in OT.

This one hurts more for Georgia Tech fans than any game in recent memory as it should. They have multiple chances to put Georgia away despite all of the officiating non-calls and everything that happened in overtime.

Key was absolutely devastated but as I expected this morning he is more driven than ever to get Tech over the hump and start beating Georgia again. Key told people if you think I was a maniac before, just wait...

Tech caught the attention of the college football world last night despite not coming out on top. That is a potential program-turning moment for Key even without getting the win. Recruits, other media and everyone saw them play toe-to-toe with big bad UGA. Even UGA folks were shocked and impressed with Georgia Tech.

The reality is in the 4th quarter Tech's roster issues started to show as well. They were down to playing the emergency CB Warren Burrell who wasn't even supposed to play after Rodney Shelley and Zachary Tobe got knocked out of the game. Carson Beck took advantage of those shifts in personnel. The lack of a big powerful running back or even a Dontae Smith was big in the 4th quarter as well. They need to find a hammer to balance out the quicker backs and that has been an issue throughout the season.

This was not a team that should be going to eight overtimes with a top 10 team or beating two other ones on paper, but Key and his staff along with the players did just that going 2-1 in those games and breaking FSU in the process.

The building up of depth and creating a sustainable and deeper roster with more talent is the end game for Key and his staff and that starts next Wednesday with the early signing period and the Jackets' top 20 class that they will aim to add some cherries on top of over the next week.

This one hurts for anyone who cares about Georgia Tech, but the rivalry is a real rivalry again with UGA. I was talking to Mark Schlabach last night and he said that was the best GT-UGA game since 1999. The entire UGA beat all said they think Georgia Tech is back, hopefully, that is the case and this was the 1997 GT-UGA game that Tech lost on a last-second TD pass from now-UGA OC Mike Bobo to Corey Allen. Tech then won three in a row from 1998 to 2001. This hurt because Tech was the better team Friday night in Athens, but at the end of the day, the scoreboard was 44-42.

Be proud of your team, let the pain fuel your love of the program and support.

Does anyone have news on Peyton Joseph?

It's crazy that we will graduate 19 players from eligibility and may lose another 20- that's half your roster.

Go jackets!

Yes please!

With Todd Hartley’s post. It is likely that Buster will be the head coach at southern Miss.

What’s the status of the Kennesaw State punter we offered?

KQ

Thoughts on potential high school football player adds by the end of Wednesday?

If you can’t give out details, can you give a “total” number you think we will sign?

Gooooooooooo Jackets

I loved the transfer tracker that @Russell Johnson kept up. Any thoughts to bringing that back?

As several Georgia Tech commits continue their quest for state titles while others saw their high school careers come to a sudden end...

Not to anyone's surprise on JOL. Wish him well wherever he ends up (more than likely Cal). Good kid.

Jackets faded in his recruitment the last few weeks.

Big get

Fire away

Here

Signing Day is on Wednesday and it seems quiet on the recruiting front. I know most of that is due to the heartbreak from last night, and some due to the class being mostly wrapped up I’m sure.

1. Do we expect any more decommits other than Hasenhuetl?
2. Any updates or RBTL for Wednesday? Do we expect any additions to the class? Any hat show victories?
3. Do we land any of Joseph, Smith Jr, Braker, Haynes, Marshall, Crim, Zelus?
4. Any visitors on campus tomorrow since it’s the last visit day before signing day?
5. Does the class stay in the top 20?

@Kelly Quinlan @Alex Farrer

I believe we can win on Friday. I will be glad we had a good season if we finish at 7-5, but not content! 8-4 will make me content & estactic! Go Jackets!

Here is Mark Bradley's spin.

"This is the first time since Smart's first season that I foresee a competitive game. If we've learned anything about these Jackets, it's that they'll compete.
With the degree of difficulty involved, Tech folks would be content with a 7-5 season. Should this team somehow get to 8-4, it wouldn't just be remembered fondly. It would be remembered forever."

Bradley’s Buzz: Tech shouldn't beat UGA, but does Tech know that?

Every power 4 team we played minus FSU is bowl eligible and those teams are 77-41 for the season.

There was 6 teams we played with 8 or more wins and 5 of them had 9 or more wins with 3 of them having 10 wins.

Just found this interesting.

Edit: the teams without FSU are 75-31. The 77-41 is with FSU included.

a team from winning.
