DEL.ICIO.USHow It Went: $4 Sprite and trip to The Varsity for Flowery Branch DE Izaan Cross
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Categories
Flowery Branch defensive end Izaan Cross’s gameday experience at Georgia Tech on Saturday, included paying $4 for a Sprite at a Bobby Dodd Stadium concession stand and a trip to The Varsity following the Jackets’ 24-17 loss to Virginia.
“It was a good game,” said Cross, a member of the AJC’s The Georgia Top 150. “There were a lot of people there.
“The game didn’t turn out the way the fans expected it to. But it was a nice visit.”
Cross spent most of the day in the recruiting section before briefly talking to several Tech coaches afterwards.
“I saw coach [Paul] Johnson, but he wasn’t in the talking mood,” Cross said. “We shook hands.”
Cross told the AJC recently that he’s leaning toward Tech. Cross said he’s considering scholarship offers from Tech, Arkansas, Clemson, Maryland and North Carolina.

Doesn’t sound too encouraging. I just hope he liked the Varsity and the fact that he could move in quickly into a depleted dline.

$4 for a Sprite! Last year it was only $3. I guess Tech has to make some money to pay for their new coach. They are 6-2 with very little talent. Wait until coach Johnson gets players that can run that hide the ball offense. Tech will win the ACC. After we whip the Gators, the Wildcats and the Tigers, we will play the humble bumbles. Its going to be a good game. Can’t wait.

Izaan should be impressed with what Coach PJ and his staff have accomplished thus far and I am sure Izaan understands the strong emotions associated with a tough loss. It is simply not a good time to talk with a potential recruit immediately after losing a game which could have been a win. Coach PJ is developing a solid foundation which will make all GT fans proud. GT is an excellent college and the future is very bright for the GT Football Program!

Win the ACC huh? Umm, you’ll see the team live at Bobby Dodd Saturday that will be winning the ACC for the foreseeable future. I agree GT is making strides but the ACC will run through the state capitol of Florida.
Go ‘Noles!

Paul Johnson’s done an admirable job with the resources he’s had so far but let’s not forget that part of the success of tech is running an offense rarely seen in college football these days. Teams playing against it year after year are going to eventually develop schemes sophisticated enough to stop it in its tracks if he can’t get the athletes to back it up.
