G.T. Football Recruiting, 2016.

[GTJT622]

Steve Sylvester has taken an Asst. Coaching position at Jacksonville Univ.(played LB for GT, #34), and is being replaced by Tevin Washington as a G.A. on the offensive side of the ball.

Great news all around. Love having Tevin as a part of the program. Happy for SS that his young coaching career is advancing. Nice! Thanks, mate.

I always liked Tevin , smart player. He was better then most fans would say . I think he will do a great job.

I didn't see this before I added the same info to the Football changes thread. Sorry to double up on it.

Lot's of hope and wishful thinking in this post. There's not a lot of real positives right now. The bad year has taken a bite out of the momentum from 2014.

I too hope GT can close on some of the players listed

GTJT rated him 9 1/2 stars

 

[GTJT622]

The fact he is majoring in Biology and chose to get a real education has prompted me to bump him up to 10 1/2 stars.

You always like defensive players

Has not been confirm at this time.

Jalen Madden:
West Ala. Super 11
AISA First Team All-State

Mike Pelton is his recruiting coach.
GT has not offered.

 

[BornAJacket]

So he's ready to commit, but GT's not ready for him?

You want me to call him?

 

[BornAJacket]

Maybe he needs to talk to Coach Johnson...

Another 'ship opens for the 2016 class with the departure of Dante Wigley.

 

[Buzzforlife]

M. Carter, B. Adams have moved up to our "A" list. Jordan Woods is nearing 6'4" and 260 lbs.(he can still grow from an end to a tackle), should he take us up on his offer.

 

[Buzzforlife]

Daniel Thomas, page 4, near the top for his particulars. Update/visits: Clemson 01-29, SC 01-15, Myd. 01-22, GT and Louisville for the 19th and 26th. Safety target. CMP recruit.

If the Gary Brown chatter is true, we have yet another ship open for the 2016 class.

If the Gary Brown chatter is true, we have yet another ship open for the 2016 class.

A friend told me last week that Brown was giving up football. Said Gary was going to enroll at a college in Florida, or that would be the plan.

Twitter has not been updated since 12-31-15, nothing official yet.

Damn. Finishing off this class was key and we just lost two. Any of you six (assuming you're all still solid) have any idea what went down with Hill?

Class is currently ranked #83 in Rivals, just behind Army, W Ky, and Ga Southern

Jay Harris is an all-state RB from Lovett. Confirmation is in that he will accept a PWO at GT(although we know without a letter-of-intent signed and accepted by the school/conference, nothing is official until enrollment):

What's the story behind the Wigley news?

Congratulations to these 4 players! Welcome to GT.

watch for the shaft, it's not as tough as it used to be, but it is still there.

Hope we see Ratliffe in the spring.

 

[Buzzforlife]

What's the story behind the Wigley news?

Politely speaking, he is headed to a JUCO.

Well of all the reasons to leave, this is the one I understand the most and typically don't begrudge the player. Occasionally a player doesn't put in the work, hopefully that's not the case here.

Gary Brown, persuing his art career:

So if the coaches find the right players these latest moves should open up spots so they can take about 20 new athletes this class?

 

[Buzzforlife]

We might have another opening up. Trying to find out if it is a SA not enrolling today or a commit backing out?

After 2012, 2013, hopefully CPJ takes close to. 25....GT will always have extra room for walk-on players to get a one year schollie. We still have 8 1/2 months before Ireland.

Don't get your hopes up on more then about 15 this year. I think they are working more on next years class (2017).

Army with 52 verbal commits is pretty entertaining when it comes to a ridiculously stupid way of looking at team recruiting rankings.

Gary Brown leaves to pursue art. Wow!

http://www.ajc.com/news/sports/college/tech-guard-gary-brown-leaves-school-to-pursue-art/np3QH/

Maybe our fellow artist, stech81, might hire Gary to help design and construct statues.

 

[Buzzforlife]

Going to San Fran. to be a cartoonist(Gary Brown).

We are looking to take at least 8 more. A QB, several OL, DE, DT, DB.

GT had a different OL Coach lined up first, however he took a salary that was doubled in what we could offer.

 

[Buzzforlife]

Do not be surprised if Jordan Johnson winds up at GT.

CLO has worked his magic with that family and the need is present to play early.

If he does wind up here, let's hope this apple rolls a long distance from the tree. The fact that he is still in play tells me that we aren't in great shape to fill our 7-9 remaining slots

I just don't see us having more then 15 this year, if we can get to that number.
