The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Georgia Tech coaches Paul Johnson and Buzz Preston met with several players at Woodward Academy on Thursday, including senior Brian Holland and juniors Henry Anderson, Delino DeShields and Juwan Thompson.
Anderson, who picked up a scholarship offer from Stanford on Wednesday, was impressed with Johnson.
“Coach Johnson was a laid back kind of guy with a good sense of humor and was easy to talk to,” the 6-foot-6, 237-pound Anderson said. “He was down to earth and fun to talk to.
“They were there for about 20 to 25 minutes. They talked about the recruiting process.”
Anderson is hopeful the Jackets will offer him a scholarship.
“If Tech offers, I would definitely think hard about going there,” he said. “They’re one of the best teams in the country, and they’ve got elite academics as well.”
Will the Jackets offer?
The coaches who handle the recruiting at Woodward said they might offer all three of us [juniors],” Anderson said. “I know they were talking to Brian Holland about walking on.
“If the head coach shows up at your school, you know they’re interested.”

I’m glad someone thinks about academics and not just athletics.

I usually cringe when someone comes on here and posts something negative about the reporting by the AJC but in this case it would’ve been nice to know a little more about these Woodward players such as what position they play, height, weight, etc. Go Jackets!
