As you may know, the rest of the 2023 signees and transfer portal additions moved onto campus at Georgia Tech yesterday.

I am told that all but one of them arrived.

Brookwood, wide receiver Bryce Dopson requested and was granted a release from his NLI in an effort to explore his options, and find a better fit for him and his family.

On right now. I’m sure it’ll be on YouTube for GT later.

up and running

Not that anything will be happening soon, but it kind of changes the discussions about which Florida school the Big10 might be most interested in.


USF also joined.

Oops, I missed @BeerBrewingJacket 's post in the realignment thread.

Gives greater insight into why Batt jumped on the opportunity to hire this guy, especially for the lowest contract in the ACC.

From the article: Damon Stoudamire, initially expected by several players and coaches to be a favorite for the interim job, later said Mazzulla contacted him upon earning the promotion. Mazzulla told Stoudamire he trusted him and considered him his right-hand man.

“Joe is a great dude,” Stoudamire said in December while acting as head coach for a game when Mazzulla was sidelined by an eye injury. “Got to know him a lot last year. Our friendship has just continued as we’ve moved forward this season.”

Beyond Udoka, the Celtics staff faced a depletion of talent that raised the difficulty of Mazzulla’s job. Will Hardy took over as Utah Jazz head coach in June and turned them into one of the NBA’s biggest surprises. Multiple team sources both on the roster and the staff said Stoudamire’s departure to lead Georgia Tech in March left a significant void in the team’s leadership structure. He was known for having a good feel for when and how to talk to players, understand their motivations, and pull from his own experiences when making recommendations for how the team should operate.

Of the remaining coaches, only Aaron Miles, who appeared in 19 games for the Warriors in 2005, reached the NBA as a player. Including Stoudamire, the Celtics essentially lost three coaches without replacing any of them.

“It’s not like Damon had a certain power, but players really respected him,” said one team source. “Joe used Damon to have a guy that’s been here that’s played that can speak to them. Damon could speak their language and no one else on the staff can do (it).”

Just wanted to say this is one of the things GTAA does really well, in my opinion.

Great listen on the direction of College athletics by two well sourced and respected experts. After reading all the complaining while @Kelly Quinlan was on vacation, I thought this was a timely podcast from Pete Thamel and Rece Davis who appear to be fully on board the player movement towards collective bargaining and representation, expanded playoff and the future P2 conference structure.

Kelly and @Russell Johnson may want to do a podcast of their own discussing the big takeaways and what this all means for GT. While we are missing some key frameworks for executing change, i am personally excited about the new era of College Athletics. I am a firm believer that “life” doesnt owe any of us anything and life aint always fair. Correlate that to your GT fandom…the same holds true. Make bad leadership choices and suffer the consequences. We arent owed anything in the brave new world of sports. My guess is the only way we get a seat at the big boy table long term is if the SEC grabs UVA and UNC (and possibly NC State / VT) to fully block the B10 out of those markets, forcing further B10 consolidation down the east coast (Notre Dame notwithstanding). Let the debate continue ….

You’ve got questions, I’ve got answers. I’ll go until 10pm

Good afternoon. My favorite time of the year has officially kicked off, and the Georgia Tech campus is filled with targets and potential targets looking to get an offer.

Should be a good day.

Among the guys I saw during registration was 2024 West Laurens T Jayden Todd, 2024 Warner Robins WR Cameron Flowers, and Rabun Gap OL Felix Doege, all who are camping.

Doege and Flowers already have offers, while Todd is looking to leave with one.

There’s a talented group of guys from Louisiana here, as well as a group from Southern Express 7v7 in Birmingham.

Omar Daniels is here too. The incoming transfer DB moves in tomorrow, but his brother is camping so he’s here today as well.

2026 Wesleyan QB Walker Kirkland is here as well. He impressed me at the Rivals Camp so this should be a good chance to see him again.

This thread will be locked for updates.

I know we've discussed private clubs but I was trying to get a take on everyone's favorite public courses in the metro area. I have some visitors coming into town this summer and we'd like to play a few places.

Short list right now includes Cobblestone, The Frog, and Echelon.

I've played Bridge Mill and St Marlo and like those. Of course Stone Mountain is decent.

I grew up in Conyers so I played Cherokee Run a bunch 20+ years ago. How is it now? What about Ashton Hills (formerly Indian Creek.)

What's public in Alpharetta/John's Creek/Duluth? River Pines?

Do any of the Oconee courses have public tee times?

And then, aside from Chateau, I don't know much about the 85 corridor courses. Chicopee? Chattahoochee? What else?

TAMPA, Fla. – Georgia Tech volleyball will begin its 2023 regular season slate in the Road 2 Tampa Bay Volleyball Invitational, facing host South Florida and Penn State Aug. 25-26 in Tampa, Fla. The Yellow Jackets will square off against the Bulls on Aug. 25 at 6 p.m.in Amalie Arena before battling the Nittany Lions at 6 p.m. in the Yuengling Center to conclude their opening weekend competition.



Tickets for the event are on sale now. With competition split between two arenas, separate ticket links are available. Tickets for Amalie Arena can be purchased here, and tickets for the Yuengling Center can be purchased here.



As a South Florida athletics hall of famer, coach Michelle Collier will return to face her alma mater in the season opener. Tech’s longtime skipper spent her collegiate career helping the Bulls to a 120-48 record from 1998-2002 and three NCAA tournament appearances en route to Conference USA Player of the Decade honors before joining the staff as an assistant from 2008-09. Collier remains fifth in NCAA Division I history with 2,729 career kills and ranks in the Bulls’ top-10 in numerous career and single-season categories, including leading the way in career kills.



Brining in eight highly touted new Yellow Jackets, including three transfers and five freshmen, Tech prepares to follow another year for the record books. The Yellow Jackets concluded their 2022 slate at 21-8 overall and 13-5 in ACC play after advancing to the second round of the NCAA tournament. The Yellow Jackets reached that mark for the third consecutive season, joining the White and Gold of 2002-04 as the only squads to do so in succession in program history.



Event information, including tickets, match schedules, times and locations can be found on Road2TampaBayVB.com. Regular event updates can be found at the TBSC’s (@sportstampabay) and Amalie Arena’s (@amaliearena) social platforms, including Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

“We are excited about the pool of players that will compete to represent the United States at the FIBA Men’s U19 World Cup,” USA Basketball Men’s National Team director Sean Ford said. “We have a great mix of players with previous USA Basketball experience and newcomers, and together will field a great team for the competition in Hungary.”
Athletes eligible for this team must be U.S. citizens, born on or after January 1, 2004.

Ten athletes recently concluded their college freshman years: Amaree Abram, Mark Armstrong, Tobe Awaka, Freddie Dillione, Kylan Boswell, Josh Dix, Ven-Allen Lubin, Jackson Paveletzke and Kel’el Ware. Eric Dailey Jr. also was a member of the Class of 2022 and will attend Oklahoma State next year after he recently completed a postgraduate year at IMG Academy.

The class of 2023 will be represented by Omaha Biliew, Blake Buchanan, Myles Colvin, Marquis ‘Mookie’ Cook, Jeremy Fears Jr., Trentyn Flowers, AJ Johnson, DeShawn Harris-Smith, Milan Momcilovic, Jackson Shelstad, Joseph Tugler and Cody Williams.

The class of 2024 will be represented Ace Bailey, Kanon Catchings, Johnuel ‘Boogie’ Fland, Dylan Harper, Ian Jackson, Tre Johnson, Karter Knox, Tyler McKinley, Liam McNeeley, Asa Newell, Drake Powell, Derik Queen and Cameron Scott.

The United States will square off with Lebanon, Madagascar and Slovenia in pool play.

The U.S. will face off against Lebanon and Madagascar for the first time at a FIBA Men’s U19 World Cup. The U.S. own a 2-0 record against Slovenia at this event.
