DEL.ICIO.USGeorgia Tech seeking a third quarterback commit
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

After obtaining commitments from Jordan Luallen of Center Grove High in Greenwood, Ind. and David Sims of Calhoun County (S.C.), Georgia Tech has set its sights on a third quarterback in the class of 2009.
The frontrunners to fill the remaining opening at quarterback are Dontae Aycock of Chamberlain Senior High in Tampa, Fla. and Courtney Dalcourt of Franklin-Simpson (Kent.) High.
The 5-foot-10, 210-pound Aycock, who is also considering Louisville, South Carolina and West Virginia, is tentatively scheduled to take an official visit to Tech in January.
He’s intentionally delayed his trips until the conclusion of the NFL season.
“The holdup is my brother, Dwight Smith, who is a safety for the Detroit Lions,” Aycock said. “I would like him to go on some of these visits with me.”
Aycock, who has been on the Tech campus twice but never attended a game at Bobby Dodd Stadium, has thrown for nearly 1,400 and rushed for 1,300 yards this season.
Dalcourt also says he’s in no rush to commit.
“[Tech coaches] know my timetable. They aren’t putting too much pressure on me,” said Dalcourt, who is also considering Central Michigan, Cincinnati, Kentucky, Louisville, Kentucky and Western Kentucky.
The 6-foot, 195-pound Dalcourt, who is scheduled to visit Tech on Dec. 12, threw for nearly 1,900 yards and 24 touchdowns this season. He rushed for 1,100 yards and 14 touchdowns.

If either, or both, of these kids want to go to Tech they had better not play it too cute. We have seen several players hold out too long and end up playing for a team that they really didn’t want to. Tech will be in good shape if they bring in three quality qbs.
