From Hampton (Ga.) High:

"I did make it to the game this Saturday. It was a great experience, and the environment was even crazier. I really haven't gotten that far in my recruitment for any top schools or anything, but I'm loving Georgia Tech so far and for sure one of my top schools right now."

Still a lot of time left for Dorsey with him being a 2027 kid, but Georgia Tech is in on him early as his first major offer and have made a big impression so far.

Fire away

Will call was a nightmare last night. No fault of the employees at all, they were hustling.

One suggestion is to give a printed ticket option. half of the crowd in line was older tech fans that couldn’t download their tickets. My dad always has this issue and it’s super frustrating to that generation. Trust me, I realize it should be easy, but they never remember how to do it.

Anyhow, the guy helping my dad, printed out the rest of the season for him. He mentioned that he really wishes they gave a printed option bc it would cut the line in half.

This doesn’t even address the rest of the issues about gettting into the stadium. It was a mess last night.

From Stewarts Creek (Tenn.) who was at the game Saturday:

"Georgia Tech hasn’t offered me yet, but it’s in the works and I feel it coming once high school football is over (this season). I just have to gather all of my film together. Georgia Tech's atmosphere is one of a kind, and I'll most definitely come again! I got invited to a private Adidas pro day camp and they put a list of colleges I could attend and I chose Georgia Tech! Georgia Tech would most likely be the next college that offers me. I have a good relationship with Coach Peoples, Coach Q and Coach McKenzie! I’ll most definitely make rounds and trips up to Georgia Tech a lot! Go Jackets!"

In my opinion it sounds like this could be one of the first 2026 commits if/when Georgia Tech offers. He's got got size at 6'4" and the frame to add weight as well. Pretty strong offer list already.

"I had a great time at the game. The energy from the fans and the team's intensity on the field really stood out to me. It was great getting a feel for the atmosphere and seeing what game day is like at Georgia Tech!"

Sounds like Georgia Tech is in the mix for the 2026 target from Woodward Academy. Stewart's Rivals profile

I'm trying to track down more of the reaction from the long list of visitors on Saturday. Will update as they come in.

Last week a ton of cool video breakdowns and articles were posted in random places, but this week I figure I’d start a thread to consolidate them.

I haven’t seen any yet.

Good morning, and happy Friday.

February is now among us, and that means Spring Training is just days away.

I've re-upped the JOL Fantasy Baseball league from last season, with @deadoaks set to defend his title. We've got 10 spots open.

$50 buy in. Pay before you draft.

Pay out amounts are still being discussed, and included in that is a likely pay out for best regular season record. Final decision will be made on this prior to the draft.

Send me a DM if you are interested!

Hoping #5 gets some good PT this week at Syracuse because we will be throttling them.

One word keeps coming up no matter who talks about Georgia Tech. That word is "physical." McGee talked about that last night and several other things, including being complimentary of Coach Key and the program.

Top 5 player in the country for 2025- Caleb Wilson back on campus for a visit. Damon shooting his shot, I think this is his 3rd or 4th visit since CDS was hired.
