Tech in recruiting limbo
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Georgia Tech is stuck betwixt and between, and that’s not likely to end for awhile.
Fortunately, because of the recruiting calendar, it really only hurts for the rest of this week.
Because new coach Paul Johnson is coming from a school that is playing in a bowl, and because the Jackets are playing in a bowl, too, there’s some delay in getting a new staff together and on the road recruiting for the Yellow Jackets.
Johnson can be on the road recruiting. So can the 2007 Tech assistants. But the assistants he is bringing from elsewhere, including from Navy, can’t begin recruiting for Tech until there’s room for them on the staff. And if the old staff is coaching in the bowl, that can’t be until after Dec. 31.
Fortunately for Tech, the recruiting calendar is like this: Contact period through Dec. 15, which is Saturday. Quiet period on Sunday. Dead period from Sunday through Jan. 3.
You can bet your bottom dollar Johnson is heavily focused on recruiting this week and that he’ll have his staff in place quickly to make up for lost time once January arrives.
