Flowery Branch DE Cross describes Tech as “my No. 1”

Georgia Tech has become the clear leader in the recruitment of Flowery Branch defensive end Izaan Cross, following coach Tommy Bowden’s departure from Clemson on Monday.

Cross, whose front-runners had been the Jackets and Tigers, expressed slight frustration over not hearing from his recruiting coach at Clemson for the past 10 days. He also questioned how many of Bowden’s assistants will be retained.

“Tech has been my number one for the longest, and this helps them a lot,” Cross said. “I’m not going to pull the trigger right now, but Tech is definitely at my top.

“I’m thinking about maybe dropping [Clemson from consideration].”

Cross, an AJC’s The Georgia Top 150 choice, will spend the next two Saturdays in SAT prep classes.

He plans to attend Tech’s home game against Florida State on Nov. 1.

When I think of UGA I think of easy street academics that they offer football players; so if they don’t make it in the NFL they can get themselves a job at The Waffle House or as a Wal-Mart stock boy

Since you nerds can’t figure this out on your own. I’m a Georgia grad who lives in Nebraska, I’ve never attend UNL.

When I think about UGA, I think about 31-0 at halftime, and 10 more for good measure. I think about beating Tenn and not moving in the polls, and football expert fans calling the Mark Richt show to tell him how to coach. Anyway, goodluck, Mr. Cross.
