On the recruiting trail
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
With the start of summer practice two weeks away (Aug. 3), footballs are not in the air yet, but football is, and Tech’s recruiting streak makes it easier than most summers to talk about the game.
With the addition of RB Roddy Jones, DL Logan Walls and DB Willie White, Tech’s got 10 commitments, and several are very solid.
They’re far from finished. Chan Gailey said last week he anticipates signing 16-18 players in February, depending on whether players leave the program, etc.
They’re getting a little thick on DB/WR-types, but they’ll certainly make room for Camden County High DB D.J. Donley if he wants to accept their scholarship offer. He figures to make a decision this week.
Also, even though Adrian, Mich., QB Steven Threet committed a while back, they want another QB, and they’re in the running for the No. 1 QB in Georgia, Josh Nesbitt of Greensboro. He, too, may make a decision soon.
A little different to be talking so much football before practice even starts, huh?
