Georgia Tech welcomes two prospects on official visits

Pope John Paul II running back Wesley Tate of Hendersonville, Tenn., and Cypress Bay cornerback Carl Miles of Weston, Fla., are scheduled to take official visits to Georgia Tech this weekend.

The 6-foot-1, 210-pound Tate will likely receive a scholarship offer from the Jackets during his visit.

“It’s an engineering school and pretty attractive to me,” he said. “The city of Atlanta is definitely an attraction because there’s so many things you can do there.

“I think they’ll offer when I come down there. The coaches want to meet me. Hopefully, I’ll get offered.”

Tate visited Vanderbilt last weekend.

The 5-foot-11, 175-pound Miles, who is coming off a weekend visit to Kansas State, hosted coaches from Tennessee on Thursday.

He currently holds scholarship offers from Baylor, Georgia Tech, Kansas State, Middle Tennessee State, Pittsburgh and Western Michigan.

“He’s really interested in Georgia Tech because of the academics,” Cypress Bay coach Mark Guandolo told GoPowercat.com. “I think he’d like to play in the ACC.

“He’s going to take a good look at that this weekend.”

Wow, that CPJ that can walk on water sure is raking in the no-name recruits for yet another dismal recruiting class for the toolbag scum from North Ave!!

WOW!!!! Two more highly rated recruits for cpj and the nerd herd…NOT!!!

Come on down to the hood boys…you will even have a slim chance to go to a major bowl while there!! Slim…but at least a chance…after all it has only been 42 years since GT went to a major bowl.

And there will be upwards of 40,000 at Booby Dudd on Saturdays. You need to need our fans travel extremely well for bowl games…as long as it is inside the perimeter.

Oh yeah…almost forgot…if we get lucky and have a really good year…like say 9-4 you get a ring…even if we get beat down really bad in our bowl game..you get a ring anyway!!!

Your an idiot. We have a top 25 recruiting class. If we haven’t been to a major bowl in 42 years then why do we have a NC in 1990 and you only have one in 1980.

Why do have to make the legit dawg fans look like the retard you are when you post this crap.

Yeah and why don’t you go find your toothless cousin to go service you in your doublewide. Maybe while you do that I’ll go over to Athens like we did last weekend and have a good time with some of those beautiful southern belles ya’ll got over there, because they don’t wanna live in a trailerpark after school.

To you idiot:

Get you facts straight tool. GT HAS NOT BEEN TO A MAJOR BOWL SINCE 1966. PERIOD!!!

The year you were voted 1/2 a national championship you played a down Nebrasks team with their QB out hurt. In what was at the time called the Citrus Bowl, which never has been considered a major bowl.

And so that you will have not have to research it…GT’s current recruiting class is ranked 27th by Scout.com and 45th by Rivals.com. The staff at GT says they are concentrating their efforts in Ga., however the best kid thay have a verbal from in Ga. is ranked in the 20’s. According to GT’s won websire they have one verbal from a 4 star. The rest are 3;s and 2’s.

And as for your house divided…congrats…I would not marry one of those fat nerdy females at tech either…most of your choices there would be of middle eastern and asian descent anyway!!!

Geez, can Tech get any more pathetic? Overreacting for barely beating a team that owns you by 3 points. Gay rings. Getting slaughtered by a 5 loss SEC team two miles from home and now not able to rake in a single top recruit?

I thought EVERYBODY would want to play for the great CPJ? Looks like all these kids are bolting for SEC schools. How many recruits as he lost to the SEC now, 12? Some things never change.

What’s the special this year for the GAME PACKAGE plans? Free Wii help booklets?

You have 1/2 NC given away by a now defunct halfazz news service. At least UGA’s 1980 is the whole enchilada. #1 against #2 won on the field.

And by the way Rivals.com has your sorry recruiting class rated 45th and Scout.com has them #27 and likely to fall farther come signing day.

But if it makes you feel better or elevates that low self esteem that infects you mites, keep pumping your propaganda. Reality will smack you down like the red headed stepchild you are in this state come the 2009 season. There are a lot of those LSU type smackdowns waiting for you girls down the road. And how about UGA’s spring game being televised on ESPN. Why not Tech? LMAO! Oh yeah…38-3 on national TV. Way to shine wannabees!

As for you GT Man (a misnomer for sure) look at all those seats being removed from Grant’s Tomb, uh pardon me, Bobby Dudd Stadium. ROFL! You tech girls are so entertaining. You comedians are absolutely priceless.

You UGAy fans are trash. Any real Tech fan knows that are recruits have to go to class. They dont have a faculty at Tech that is going to allow them to be trash like down in athens. These are facts, and any UGAy fan trying to dispute this is an idiot. You have maybe three or four majors total at UGAy that are as difficult as the management major that most student athletes at Tech take. How many years have you rednecks out recruited UF and Ala? When you necks get done molesting your daughter before school go look it up. On a level playing field your student athletes are as well equiped for the field as they are for the real world. Your breeding losers down there in athens and you always have. Wake up rednecks…………

Because that year you played in the CITRUS Bowl that year moron. Your 1/2 NC can’t even be validated by a win in a major bowl that year. But you’re Tech and halfazz is your destiny.

And your recruiting class is #45 says Rivals.com. Scout has you #27. Seems like UGA is 6 and 7 in those services however. Imagine that. Maybe that’s why they have taken the last 7 out of 8. And 34 of the last 47 from you sissies.

What do you constantly degrade GT student ahtletes? You are scared aren’t you? Admit to your fear. You can’t go anywhere w/out seeing GT over you and around you. You go to WalMart and you realize a Tech man runs the show. You look up in the sky and you are reminded that Tech folks are running the space shuttle. You look on the field at the GT sideline and you see Paul Johnson and you are reminded what leadership is supposed to look like. It has to be tough to be a dawg. Hang in there dawgs.

Trash is scum like Joey Hamilton. Trash is a team playing a FBI busted drug Lord in a bowl game. Trash is playing a rapist next season. Trash is aligning yourself with gangsta rappers and having them perform at halftime when you have small children in the stands. Tech is the very defintion of trash along with their trashy fans.

Yeah, Tech athletes go to class. All these same STUDENT ATHLETES Tech has been getting rejected by are going to SEC schools. But let me guess, since they turned down the worst program in D-IA they’re now thugs, but had they gone to Tech they would have been STUDENT ATHLETES. Pathetic, even for scumbags like Tech fans.

Tech fans are the bottom layer of crap in a porto-potty

Or the fact all their student athlete recruits are choosing to be student athletes at SEC school as usual? Take your pick

Excuse me, if you pathetic Ugag fans hate Tech so bad, then why are you reading our articles. And for all the “thug” references, how many arests have their been of current and former thUGA players have there been over the last couple of years?

And the players CPJ is recruiting are players to fit the option system, and are not always top recruits for other systems. He is signing players that fit what he is trying to do. I would give him the benefit of the doubt, since he took a team that was picked to go 3-9, and went 9-3, beat UGAG at home, and went 2-1 against the SEC. So it doesnt look like all those top recruiting classes has done UGAG any better than our average classes have. It doesnt matter what you are ranked, it matters what happens on the field. You guys should now that, PRE-SEASON #1, what a joke!

You puppies get fired up too easy.

But hey, at least Tennessee and Auburn are down, so you should have another 10 win season. And maybe even you’ll be able to keep the Florida game close.

As far as Tech recruiting, 16 out of the 20 commits also have SEC offers so why do you people keep posting crap. And also, Reuben Houston a drug lord and OutKast gangsta rappers???? Haha, thanks for the laugh.

45-42 now that’s something to laugh about! When a terrible school with a terrible team beats the #1 team in the country at home……….oh yes that was preseason. Ga is always the best team from January to August. Graduate 6 players and get back to me.

If this is true about Johnson allowing a kid to be on the team after he raped a girl then I’ll cancel my season tickets today.

I’ve been a Jacket since a kid and a proud alumni, but this “to win at any cost” mentality of Johnson’s is not good news.

Even Richt would have sent this kid back where he came from.

a diploma from Georgia Tech is respected around the country and world. Football is entertainment and that’s it. Georgia Tech alumni like to win, but are not willing to admit anyone with any grades and questionable character just to win and that is why Tech people look down on the Georgia program. It’s pathetic to stoop to any level to win a meaningless (unless you have no life) college football game, especially when you still don’t win.

I am not going to sit here and argue the standards between thugs of one school and another. Any fans who think that their teams are great community guys is an idiot. I am going to comment on anyone who sits here and tries to argue the academics side of it for ONE REASON. UGA FANS 75% of ya’ll have no connection to Georgia any way at all so stop acting like you know what the school is like because YOU DIDNT GO THERE. Other than that for people who don’t know. Tech has NEVER had a great recruiting program because its hard to tell a guy who barely graduates high school to come to a school where he can’t major in LAWN CARE MANAGEMENT..RECREATIONAL SPORTS…and other prestigous majors offered at Georgia. That is all IH

Thuggin,

Quick question for you. Why is Tech losing so many recruits to SEC schools if they ONLY recruit STUDENT ATHLETES? I mean, using your logic all these STUDENT ATHLETES that Tech goes after should only be considering the Ivy Leagues, but instead these STUDENT ATHLETES are chosing to go the SEC instead.

Funny that when a recruit goes to Tech they are STUDENT ATHLETES, but if they go to another school they are then “thugs.” Tech hypocrite is as pathetic as it hilarious.

Could it be that most SEC athletes can not get it in or maintain the grades they would need for GT. I’m not bashing, not everybody is cut out for the academics at tech ie.. Green. Look at Fla. their SAT scores are 324 points lower than the average students. That kind of says something about the mighty SEC. Oh and UGA GT’s sorry 2 and 3 star athletes ran all over your top 5 recruiting class.

Comparing UGA and GT academically is a waste of time. Everyone knows which school is better for undergrads.

As for football, Tech is on the rise and UGA is falling fast. I think we (GT) have found a pretty good coach to keep us in the mix year in and year out. The triple option works with all the right pieces. We have the QB, RB’s and WR in place. We need the OL, and our “high school offense” will be tough to stop. Our WR actually block, which turns our 10 yard runs into 30+ yard runs. Our defense is another story, so our offense will have to score to keep pace.

UGA, it will take them a few years to get back. Next year, they will undoubtedly struggle. They’ll always have the recruiting classes and NFL talent, but they seem to never do enough with the players to make the leap. They lost badly to UF this past year, next year it will take a miracle for them to lose by less than 20. Their fans get a bit fickle though, and every random person in the state of Georgia roots for UGA. They can have them though.

Good doctor,

So next year when GT not only loses to a “struggling” UGA, but fails to even win their divison, what will be your excuse?

Took Richt 8 years to lose his first game to an ACC team. Johnson did it in year one in his own backyard. Richt won the SEC in his second season. A feat Johnson will not do in his.

Can’t wait to hear your spin next season.

Dear Tcch Wrecked;

Done homework but it sure is enjoyable beating you as….es with recruits such as this. Sounds like Tech does a better job with the talent they are getting. You can claim whatever you want but National Champions in 1990.
Hey get over it you’ll be state champions again if you are not too old. Georgia can’t win anything with constant top ten talent

Better academics by far and a better football team. You are on our blong becasue you LOST! get over it. You still have women’s lacrosse to look forward to.

Tech did beat UGA, but got extremely lucky. On that day, UGA couldn’t tackle to save their lives. Most of the time they were in position, just didn’t execute.

Until Tech can consistently recruit the players that UGA is going after, they will only win once every 8 years. I think CPJ is hopeful, and maybe this class will shape up well.

The Text books at tech are completely different that those at UGAg. For example Calculus 1101 at Ugag is a much easier form than the two terms of scientific calculus taught at Tech. An ALL athletes must pass both terms at Tech. UGA offers Degrees in Food Science, Poultry Science, Livestock Management and other not as smart as a 5th grader classes.

However if yo do manage to get a law degree at UGag, you can represent al the arrest drunk athletes that we read about in the Athens Banner Harold and the AJC

409’ rushing = 45 on the board. Only three teams ran up a big score on the Athens getto thugs; Alabama, Florida, and Georgia Tech.

You even lost to our pitiful (men’s) basketball team. Oh our women beat your women too. Some athletes go to a school where you can get a real education. Athletes go to UGag for the partying and the free ride. Flight 409 took off from Sanford and Son stadium and landed 45 points later.

Hey UGA fans,

How does it feel to know GT got a better game out of Gardner Webb? LMAO!

Also, how’s Calib King working out for you guys? Wasn’t he the top RB in the state when you recruited him? What a freakin’ joke. It’s all about ME, ME, ME, ME, ME…

Keep CMR…he does well with players that are all about MEEEEEEE! “Hey CMR, I’ll just take myself out of the game when it feels good.” Whatever…

UGA lost to GT. Point is UGA is the lesser team this year. Go cry some more and make up all the silly comments yo want. But GT beat UGA and that’s all there is to it. Rings or not. The job got done. Ouch, hurts doesn’t it? The debate was settled on the field this year and not on this silly blog and won’t be again next year. May the best team win and right now, GT is the better team. ah ah ah…what’s that you say? I’m waiting for a stupid comeback to a FACT! 45-42- GT won.

Mark Richt is a fine man, a Christian, and a very good coach. What a shame so many of the ball players get in trouble off the field. Underage drinking arrests are in the paper all the time. However, rarely is a Tech player arrested. Maybe one every 4 or five years. UGag ahd twelve arrested in one year!

Pathetic toolbags reduced to talking about a SHARED National Title with a better team from 1990. It’s sad but oh so comical coming from the worst fans in sports. Hey virgins, when’s the last time ya’ll won any sort of title OUTRIGHT? Have you even won an ACC title outright since they were forced to recruit better programs to join since the original members couldn’t carry the load? Lol!!! I love it!!!
