Walker beats the system
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A lot of recruits were on the field before Georgia Tech’s homecoming victory Saturday over Clemson. It made me think about last year’s recruits and how they’re doing.
So, how many of you were overjoyed last year when Tech got a commitment from a two-star-rated defensive tackle from Ft. Mill, S.C.? That was Vance Walker, the freshman who has made the biggest impact to date of the 2006 signing class.
Sure, Michael Johnson and Colin Peek and other more highly touted signees could turn out to be better college players, but Walker’s success right off the bat provides one more reminder that, especially in football, players can turn out to be a lot better than the so-called experts think.
