Tech looking at a blue-collar signing class
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
It looks like Tech will be siging a blue-collar, well-balanced class today with at least player for every position. Dean Buchan, Tech’s SID, tells me that Tech has not signed as many as 13 players from in-state since 1999.
Tech entered Signing Day with 12 in-state commitments and one Georgia signee who is already enrolled, Emanuel Dieke.
About 50 Tech fans have gathered at the Edge Center this morning, and they’re waiting for the first signee to be announced. I’ll be blogging and posting from here all day.
For tomorrow’s sports section, this is my ”forecast” of Tech’s day. Tell me how you’d rate it:
The gurus are going to rank this class between 25-50 nationally. It’s not star-studded, but it’s remarkable for its balance, with a player signed at every position. It’s also one of Tech’s faster classes. The 13 in-state signees are the most since 1999. WR Stephen Hill’s decision to stick with Tech after waffling as late as Tuesday was huge Signing Day news. This is a blue-collar class with no glaring holes. Jordan Luallen, the Indiana quarterback so well-suited for Tech’s option offense, is the centerpiece.
