Just curious

I will update this thread as more come in.

Anyone have thoughts on our 2024 record relative to how recruiting ended this cycle? I could be wrong but based on how this year ended GT will have the toughest schedule in D1 football. EVERY team except for VMI made a bowl. We could very possibly be a better more talented and statistically better team in 2024 and win no more than 4/5 games. It is absurd. Bama and Auburn and other teams have much easier schedules.

- FSU
- Notre Dame
- UGA
- Miami
- UNC
- Louisville
All with overall better talent.

AND.. we play a solid NC State team, Duke who has been solid, and VaTech, and Syracuse away. CRAZY

Only wins mostly guaranteed are VMI and Ga St and GSU will consider it their Super Bowl.

Do we win only 4 or 5 possibly? How do we build in such as environment?

Looks like the Sandals in Jamaica has ESPN2 but not ESPN. Working to confirm but brought the iPad just in case. What’s the best way to get through to stream off ESPN+ or YouTube TV out of the country?

Freer, Shanahan, Stewart earn recognition for performance in the classroom and on the field



THE FLATS – Georgia Tech long snapper Henry Freer (College Park, Ga./Woodward Academy), punter David Shanahan (Castleisland, Co. Kerry, Ireland/St. Patrick’s Secondary School) and place kicker Gavin Stewart (Savannah, Ga./Benedictine Military Academy) were all named to the College Sports Communicators 2023 football academic all-district team on Tuesday.



To earn academic all-district honors, a student-athlete must be at least a sophomore academically and athletically, have a grade point average of 3.5 or higher (graduate students must have a 3.5 GPA in their undergraduate and graduate studies) and either play in 90% of his team’s games or start at least 66% of his team’s games that season.



In addition to being named academic all-district, both Freer and Shanahan are among a select group of all-district nominees that have advanced to the academic all-America ballot, based on their performance at an elite level on the field and in the classroom.



The first active football student-athlete to ever be enrolled in a Ph.D. program at Georgia Tech, Freer was admitted to Tech’s Ph.D. program in chemical and biomolecular engineering (part of the No. 2-ranked chemical and biomolecular engineering program in the United States) after earning his bachelor’s degree in the same major in May. On the field, he started all 12 regular-season games in his second season as the Yellow Jackets’ long snapper, handling the duties on both field goals/PAT and punts. In 2022, he was named to the all-ACC academic team in recognition of his achievements on the field and in the classroom.



Shanahan, Tech’s three-year starting punter, majors in business administration. He is averaging 42.4 yards per punt this season, which would rank among the top 50 nationally, but his 42 attempts fall two shy of the minimum to qualify for official national rankings. His 31% of punts downed inside the opponent’s 20 yard line this season is a career high, and he is a two-time member of the all-ACC academic team.



Stewart, a semifinalist for the 2023 William V. Campbell Trophy (presented to college football’s premier student-athlete), earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Georgia Tech in May and is currently pursuing a master’s degree in analytics. He is the Yellow Jackets’ primary kickoff specialist and has put 40 of his 62 kickoffs into the end zone for touchbacks this season (64.5%).



The trio of academic all-district honorees has helped contribute to Georgia Tech putting together a 6-6 overall record this season, collecting two wins over nationally ranked opponents and earning its first bowl berth since 2018. With a 5-3 conference record, the Yellow Jackets finished in a tie for fourth in the final ACC standings after being picked to finish 12th in the 14-team league in conference’s preseason poll.



The Yellow Jackets conclude their season on Friday, Dec. 22 at the Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl in Tampa, Fla. versus UCF. Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. and the game will be televised nationally on ESPN.

Twas the night before the early signing period, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, but Russell’s phone sure was.

I didn’t originally anticipate this dropping as close to midnight as it is, please forgive me.

Things are in motion all over the country, coaches are working the phones, and pushing to close deals that many didn’t originally give Georgia Tech a chance at.

This projection is as of 11pm, and while I won’t make changes to this projection over the next several hours, this thread remain locked.

I plan to use this thread throughout the day for live updates.

As the NLI’s pour in, this will be the place to be.

As the clock nears midnight, Georgia Tech is expecting a significant amount of NLI’s and Financial Aid Agreements.

Let’s get to the final ESP projections, starting with two targets that I expect to land at South Carolina.
