How have we not talked about this?

Georgia Tech signed two of the state of Georgia's top 50 recruits, six of the top 100.

I expect both of those numbers to (at least) double in the 2025 class.

Also of note-
RB signee Anthony Carrie finished as the No. 22 player in Florida
CB signee Troy Stevenson finished as the No. 5 player in South Carolina
OL signee Kai Greer finished as the No. 12 player in North Carolina
DT signee Landen Marshall finished as the No. 31 player in Alabama
LB signee Tah'j Butler finished as the No. 27 player in Louisiana

I type fast

Get down lmao

Tonight at 7pm ET is decision day for Early Action 2 applicants, which is the earliest that any out-of-state applicant gets a decision. Prayers for my youngest, who applied and is eagerly awaiting a decision.

And if there any other JOLers with children or friends awaiting a decision today, best of luck to you.

Damon really ripped into his team, I'd suggest listening to the audio

Let's do this. I'll take your questions until 10:40.

And before you ask, no I do not know when the DB coach is going to officially be hired or leak out.

CBK is being meticulous in his search for a new DBs coach while Authur Blank is apparently trying to decide if he's willing to supersede McKay to hire CBB or keep McKay and hire someone else. As we all watch these searches I thought it would be interesting for those here on JOL to offer their prediction on which hire will be made first - Tech DB Coach or Falcons HC?
My guess is Tech will have a DB Coach first

This stat is crazy. Does it come down to luck?

For some reason, Karl Brown came to mind today. He may not have had the raw talent of someone like Kenny Anderson, but he made up for it with hustle and hard work on defense. Sort of Alvarado like, though Jose shoots better.

Brown is coaching in the UK:

I believe that I read he was the first Brit to play in the Final Four.

Every now and then, the Tech Football Facebook group actually comes up with something good. This is an excellent article on the 1962 Tech/Bama game, and it also discusses the previous year's infamous Holt-Graning incident. This whole situation had about as much to do with us leaving the SEC as the scholarship issues.

It cites a fact that in 1959, a whopping EIGHTEEN players died playing football! It's unbelievable the level of brutality that was accepted back then. Today, by the time the third kid died the whole sport would be suspended; and rightly so.

Has officially finished the ranking cycle as a four-star recruit. In total, Georgia Tech signed 5 four-stars in the 2024 class, the most they have signed in 13 years.
