Wow..do you expect from a 17-18 yr old kid??? Free trips to different schools in order to make a MAJOR decision in their life. Recruits take other visits while committed ALL THE TIME. I don’t think this bodes well for CPJ. This is the THIRD committment that he has threatened to pull their offer.

Carter: There’s more to it than you are reading in the Rag.

CPJ tells recruits not to commit until they are sure they are ready to make that decision. His way of encouraging them to make the best decision is to have a consequence of losing their scholly offer if they visit other schools. It’s smart and in no way puts the recruit at a disadvantage. He does this so that they don’t make a decision flippantly. He wants them to be smart and weight their options. This is how you beat the system.

I love what Coach J did, other coaches need to do the same….give a committment, keep your commitment. There will be those fans that say, “well he is only 17-18”, or “he can do what he wants, he has not signed”, or a number of other excuses. Bottomline is if you are not ready to commit, DO NOT COMMIT. It really is that simply. The problem with that is then the player might lose out when the school has to keep agressively recruiting for the potential spot, or he will not get the BIG MEDIA ATTENTION he was looking for when he makes a switch later.

I understand the desire to switch if there is a coaching change. No problem. But I guarantee you that 90% of all commitment change players (excluding due to coaching changes) are not the type of team player you want on your team away. ME ME ME

Good job Coach J. Explain your expectations and expect your potential players to live up to their’s… To be successful in life, isn’t that a valuable lesson to learn. Seems like his HS coach feels the same way.

Rememeber, all he had to do 3 weeks ago is say I am not ready to commit, that’s all.

If the kid hadn’t made his decision yet, then he shouldn’t have committed. I have absolutely no problem with this. They told him what would happen, so I don’t see what the fuss is about. He obviously would have rather gone somewhere else, and if GT isn’t at the top of your list, we don’t want you either.

I am a GT fan and I will admit that I usually do not get that much into recruiting. I believe that the development of most players from coaching once they are on campus does a lot more for the ultimate success of a team than what some biased recruiting service says. I would like to say here though that I believe GT did the right thing in this situation by withdrawing their scholarship offer to this recruit. Sure, we would love to have a great athlete as a potential future QB, but I believe, what I assume CPJ and his staff also believes, that character is the first thing that makes a great QB. Nobody forced this recruit to commit to GT when he did. He came out and gave his word to the Yellow Jackets that “he was their man.” Thusly, I am sure the GT staff took him for his word and focused their recruiting efforts on other prospects and positions. For this recruit to then forgo his former commitment because another team decided to step in at the last moment tells me one thing. HE WAS NOT THE KIND OF PERSON YOU WANT LEADING YOUR TEAM!!!! I am not hating on UGA, but I think that the same can be said for Greg Reid. He commited early to UF and again, nobody forced him to do that. You see how Urban Meyer treated him when he went down for his visit there after he re opened his recruitment…very abrupt and harsh. Now I am not comparing Urban Meyer and CPJ head to head, but I think that they both understand how to build championship programs and one of the key components is that you must have trust among your team. When a young man says one thing and then does another, it shows that he lacks that ability…for people to trust him. Accountability is a tough lesson for most young people to learn. This is one of the main reasons I believe that the future is strong for the GT Football Program. This kind of leadership has been lacking for a long time on the flats. Now you can say that these athletes are young and don’t have a lot of experience making big decisions and that they are influenced by all sorts of outside parties, but the one thing they need to learn early in life is that a man will be judged by his actions. He can try and justify his change of heart all he wants, but the bottom line is that he lied to GT!!! I don’t wish any harm on this young man or any other for that matter, I just hope that he and others learn their lessons and take them forward. I also hope that more coaches will take the same actions of these 2 fine football coaches (Meyer & CPJ). When a player commits, he commits. And if there are no obvious reasons for him to change his commitment such as a coaching change or probation, then it should be a huge red flag when a recruit does this kind of dance. They should rescind his commitment as quickly as possible. This would send a hell of a strong message to these young players. It is one of the first steps towards them transforming into upstanding young men, which is one of the things that coaches promise to do every day! My 2 cents…

Taking a free recruiting trip is done all the time after committing. Colleges pressure kids to commit also. Sometimes they just can’t say “I’m not ready to commit”. Taking his offer because he went on a trip should not have happened. He didn’t decommit from GT by taking the trip to Auburn.

Unfortunately it goes both ways in recruiting. Some schools/coaches offer scholarships and then take them back when a better player commits, i.e. urban myers at florida last year. At the same time, as with this case the players do the same thing.

By Jaded Jacket

February 2, 2009 8:16 PM | Link to this

I’m proud of the position that the Tech coaches have taken on the word “commitment.” The word itself means: an obligation, a promise, declared attachment to a cause, dedication, pledge, and loyalty. If a player can’t adhere to that definition then I wouldn’t want him on my team either. The coaches are doing a nice job of instilling the team concept, which is what Johnson is all about. I’m happy with our QB and RB situation anyhow.

Who was the coach who said “You shop, we shop?” Perhaps Saban when he was at LSU.

I commend coach Johnson for demonstrating through his actions, the meaning of keeping commitments. I’m a believer that when a prospect commits, that is it. And when a school commits, they are committed as well. If a prospect is not sure, don’t commit and keep taking visits. If a school is unsure, do not extend a commitable offer.

When SC reneged on the commitment to the GA linebacker…it was a mistake. When Lame Kitten told several UT commits to look elsewhere, it was a mistake.

Let’s make sure I got this. Auburn offers the guy and he says ‘yes but I want to see the place first’. He goes and accepts the offer. Tech then pulls their offer and CPJ is a hero? Sounds to me like we lost a great recruit and are trying to make it look like it was due to our virtue and tough stance. We just lost a recruit. It happens to the best. Get used to it. If we want to play with the big boys, we are going to get slapped down once in a while. We need to back off this ‘we took his scholarship away” stuff. We got our butts kicked by an SEC team. No excuses and no big virtuous deal.

By LSU

No doubt that CPJ and the coaches pressured, even if subtly, Dontae to commit last weekend. Every school does it when they have them on campus, giving them the royal treatment, etc. Look at UGA - They’ve told three kids that they will hold a jersey number for them. Coaches are just as much at blame for putting pressure on the kid.

All these comments forget that these are other people’s lives and that they get the chance to decide for themselves where they want to play. A good coach is one who encourages players to take other visits because he has the best interest of the kid in mind. Obviously, CPJ wasn’t confident enough in his own pitch to Dontae that it would keep him from committing from other schools. It is pathetic that they yank his scholarship because they are scared.

Don’t give me this “my word is my word” BS; alot of these kids are trying to make sure that they select a school that is going to help elevate themselves to the next level, and if that requires visiting every school that offers so be it. Coaches should encourage their commits to visit other schools because it will show them that the best place for them to be is at their program and no one else’s. That shows confidence and composure rather than radical threats about dropping a scholly because the kid is going to see another school.

This is a black eye for Tech in the world of recruiting when they forbid someone from taking a visit. Scared tactics like this will come back to haunt them.

This is the third prospect to have been threatened. I don’t think this is good for CPJ and the future. What it says is “if you commit to Tech, then you may not be guaranteed a scholarship.” If you dare talk or visit another school, then we will pull it. I see a trend that needs to stop.

I just hope Coach Johnson is taking his own words to heart and stops recruiting kids who are committed to other schools. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander, correct? You should honor a kids commitment and expect him to honor his commitment no matter which school he gave it too.

The rumors lately have been that Tech was no longer strongly interested in this kid and this looks like an opportunity to pull a scholly and not look bad. If you ask me, something stinks in Atlanta and it’s not a river.

I don’t understand why Dontae Aycock couldn’t have kept his commitment to Georgia Tech and then gone on to play either QB or RB there? With Tech’s new offense, obviously if you are a talented RB there is a place for you…If QB didn’t work out at GT, he could have easily tried RB as well.

No, Johnson and his other small Johnson assistants, knew this kid would drop the nasty concrete jungle campus life of Tech where 25-30% of the student population is homo sexual, in favor of the quiet, rural campus life of Auburn where 65% of the student population are women and 15% of that are “Primo” women.

Nobody really knows what was said or the circumstances behind this, so stop grilling CPJ. Sounds like it had more to do with needing to move in a different direction with his own recruiting efforts. As in, dont leave me hangin without (position). Surely Johnson isn’t saying that he would never let a high school kid visit the GT campus if the word was out about a “secret commitment” to another school. More likely the visit was more of a confirmation of what CPJ already knew. Can’t blame him.

Get use to this kind of thing happening. I player that wants to play on Sunday will not come and play QB in that system. Its better to play RB in a Pro type offense than to play QB in an option offense if yo want to play in the NFL. The only kinda of QB you’re going to get is a converted 2nd string RB. Good luck. This is a flash in the pan offense right now. When good D Coordinators see it enough they will figure out how to stop it. Which won’t take long. Nebraska and Oklahoma ran it for decades and dumped it after Miami embarressed them in a National title game several years ago. Fast atheletes at safety, linebacker, and DE will stop it consistently like Miami did. And like LSU did. Good luck.

Bottom line. No one was threatened with scholarships being pulled, they choose this result. They were told BEFORE committing NOT to commit until they were SURE of their COMMITMENT.

When you make rules, you have to enforce them. If a kid accepts the above rule, then breaks it, there is no choice but to pull the scholly. If you can’t handle THAT test, then you can’t handle GT on a number of levels.

I don’t remember anyone saying we were the most ethical program in the country. You don’t have to be so defensive. The kid apparently had an agreement and as such, I’m sure he isn’t upset. Both sides did what they agreed to. No one was slighted from my view.

Good luck to this kid. As he gets older, hopefully he will learn to honor his commitments.

So, now he is going to miss a fine education at GT and an opportunity to play for a winning coach and a football program on the rise.

The way I see it is this: a secret commitment is the absolute worst type of agreement between a player and college. It has no validity and really cannot even be confirmed. Why didn’t Tech ask him to go public? That would have made it a little more concrete and may have actually discouraged him from visiting Auburn. Was Tech waiting for a better athlete to award the scholarship to? Another “secret” commitment, perhaps? We’ll never know.

Recruiting is a dirty business. NO college is above such maneuvering and neither are the young men they are seeking. Accept it for what it is because with the stakes being so high, it certainly won’t change.

Mike, again with the “fine education” at GT? I’ll bet HUGE money he would have been a Management major at GT. He can a legitimate business degree, or an engineering degree is he so wishes, at Auburn. He’s 17 or 18 and is exploring his options.

When all is said and done, if the worst that can ever be said about this kid is that he didn’t honor a supposed secret commitment to GT, then his parents will certainly be proud.

Did Al make a “secret” commitment to June and neither Al nor June told anyone? Or was it a “formal” commitment to the Prom that everyone knew about? If it was formal and made public, I doubt Al would have courted Suzanne and Tiffany. How did Al know that June wouldn’t “formally” accept a Prom invitation from another beau?

Remember, neither Al nor June mentioned their “secret” Prom plan to anyone. Either could have ditched the other and denied having such a “secret” commitment.

Paul Johnson knew the kid didn’t want to really play Mickey Mouse college football (in the ACC in general, and at Tech in particular. Ask LSU. LOFOL.

No, Johnson and his other small Johnson assistants, knew this kid would drop the nasty concrete jungle campus life of Tech where 25-30% of the student population is homo sexual, in favor of the quiet, rural campus life of Auburn where 65% of the student population are women and 15% of that are “Primo” women.

Get a freaking life tech. You had one good year. Your ugly a* is 0-1 this year so SHUT THE FiretrUCK UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You’re one of those numbskulls who tout GTs “fabulous” ranking as an Engineering school, but refuse to accept the fact that hardly ANY of your athletes are Engineering majors, and the few that are may not actually graduate with a degree.

Save yourself the time trying to find out is any of GTs top athletes are actually Engineering majors. Here’s something I found on the net about Tech’s “Management” program and its connection to its top athletes.

Dan Radakovich, athletics director at Georgia Institute of Technology, said in an interview Wednesday that the figures reported for his institution — showing that 27 of its 33 football players, 10 of its 12 baseball players, and 5 of 8 men’s basketball juniors and seniors in 2007 had majored in management — “don’t cause me a whole lot of concern.”

I think i understand what the great CPJ stands for.

He thinks it is very important for these kids to keep their commitment! Their word is their bond kind of thing. Once you commit to him, or his present school…it is important to honor that commitment. Right?

Would that be anything like him keeping his commitment to fulfill his contract at NAVY??

Since he thinks it is so important for a kid to keep his commitment, does that mean he would not try to entice a kid to brake his commitment to another school? Wonder what he was thinking when he decided to approach the Hill kid who was commited to CF?

Maybe he thinks it is ok for him to “steal” a commitment from others….but for Gods sake do not try to steal a commitment from him or his institution of choice!!!

Perhaps you need to re-read all of my posts, son. As I’ve stated over, and over, there was no where that it was stated publicly that Dontae had committed to GA Tech nor where GA Tech had committed that he had done so.

Therefore, the fact of the matter, his reasoning for not making a public statement, had he actually “committed” to the program or not has not changed and he handled the situation more maturely than most of these bloggers have.

Do I agree with Dontae’s decision to spurn the GA Tech offer and go to Auburn? No. Do I respect his decision to do so? Absolutely and I wish Dontae the very best.

Anyway, I’m torn about the athlete/education situation we find ourselves in. It kills me to see athletes have majors like “Independent Studies”, “Social Networking”, et al. However, I also ask myself what chance would a lot of these kids have of attending college if athletics weren’t their segway? College, like life, guarantees nothing, but it does give you a better chance. A lot of these kids would be flipping fries if it weren’t for sports, and sadly, many may be flipping fries when they use their eligibility. Regardless, at least the college experience gives them a fighting chance.

Certificates are essentially a minor. It means you took the majority of your management electives in one discipline (Accounting, Finance, Operations, Marketing, etc).

Most of them require 12ish credit hours, but it varies a little. If you choose to take your free electives as management classes, you can earn multiple certificates if the scheduling works out.

You don’t have to load up in one discipline if you don’t want to; you have the option to stay broad.

You’re eligible to petition for your Management degree after 122ish (may have changed slightly, don’t care to look) credits provided you took all the required courses. It’s something like 2 Maths, 2 Lab Sciences, 2 Social Sciences, 2 English, 2 Humanities, a Health, the introductory courses for every management discipline (like 8 classes, not sure), management electives, and free electives.

You can’t get a certificate without a degree.

Second, these official visits are like a reward to these recruits for having a successful career in high school, to deprive them of that is just being selfish on the part of CPJ and his staff. If grades were the reason he went to Auburn, Don’t you Tech people think that CPJ checked out his grades before offering hin a scholarship?

Hey Shut the FiretrUCK UP (or RealityYech or whatever other sissy handle you go by). You are a douche and have been writing under a dozen different names atleast. Also, please note how he was on the AJC GT Recruiting blog between the hours of midnight to 4am on Friday night, and Saturday night. Seriously kid…get a life. Go get drunk atleast. Try to chase some puss around (or c0ck, whichever floats your boat you phaggot) and atleast try not to write on a blog during these hours and completely PROVE what a freaking loser you are. I would stomp your a$$ too, as a side note.

Anyone that is blogging on a friday/saturday night at those hours is a complete toolbag loser. What makes it worse is that its on the AJC recruiting blog, on a team that you hate. And its not like you wrote 1 or 2 things, then went to bed. You sat there, and kept waiting for something else to pop up, or for someone to respond, just so you could write more. You are pathetic. You know what, just go kill yourself. Thats really your only solution at this point. Im embarassed for you kid.

Finally, quit posing as an Auburn fan. Auburn is one of the top 10 most embarrassing programs right now. Go hire this loser Chizik, and then have freakin Charles Barkley call you a racist school. Jesus. How can anyone from auburn talk about academics? Didn’t you girls almost lose your accreditation a few years back? And how many of the criminals that play for uga graduate, since you are so interested in the grad rate of gt football players?

GT fans, don’t bash the kid (although most aren’t, just a few idiot mutt fans). CPJ told him not to commit until he was ready to stop visiting schools, and the kid decided at the last minute he wanted to go elsewhere. Big deal. Also, big difference between this and Stephen Hill b/c stephen hill didn’t leave 3 days before signing and gave UCF plenty of notice to fill his spot. Christ you kids are stupid and pathetic. at least

Pretty simple here…just don’t commit if you are not ready to commit. That’s all CPJ is saying. We have your offer, if you want to make other visits fine, but don’t commit until you are ready. It’s not rocket science.

He also talks about wanting to play RB and not QB. Ok, so now he will get the ball every once in a while, when he had the potential at TECH to have the ball in his hands every play. Hmm. I can agree that the chances of him going to the NFL are greater as a RB, but look at Michael Robinson. Although he is not a pro bowl RB, he is on an NFL roster and getting a pretty nice check I am sure. Scouts find talent no matter what. If this kid is the real deal, scouts will find him. Look at Flacco, Hightower, Rogers-Cromrartie, Colston, etc. You don’t have to be on the biggest stage anymore to get to the next level. Anyway, his loss.

You can commit all day long until Feb 4th. Then the ink has to hit the paper. That’s the only true commitment. CPJ, didn’t you have a contract (commitment) with Navy to coach there and you broke it when Tech came a calling. Seems like the pot calling the kettle black!

Some of you folks have NO IDEA about college recruiting. You say he shouldn’t have committed. Tech was hounding him and wouldn’t give him a chance to get his breath unless he did commit. Like when the cops interrogate someone for 20 hours, sooner or later the guy confesses (even if innocent) - just to get a breather.

CPJ put way to much pressure on the kid, forced him to commit. Later, he realized he still wanted to see what else was out there and went looking. If CPJ hadn’t put such pressure on him, he might have even decided to go back to Tech.

CPJ has never had to recruit - you don’t recruit at Navy. He has no clue what he’s doing. He can coach, but can’t recruit.

This is what recruiting has come to people. You degraded Spurrier and SCAR when we pulled Davis’ offer. Time for you GT fans to take a long look in the mirror.

FWIW, I agree with CPJ. Both players and coaches have right to change their minds.

By Cincy Redlegs

When Spurrier pulled a scholarship offer to that Tucker kid, there was all sorts of vitriol spewed towards South Carolina, and the high school said SC couldn’t recruit there anymore. Now Tech does the same thing, and a lot of you princes are lauding Tech’s “integrity.” After all is said and done, I have no doubt Tech’s in the same boat as all the other exemplars of what’s best about big time college football (—-Jackie Sherrill, Bobby Petrino, SMU … ).

Can’t really blame you, Dontae. GT is a loser school and I had a tough time getting into the NFL. and the thing about is we ran a pro style offense….who wants to play in same style as they played in high school because they did not have the atheletes to run a more advanced offense.

By Carolina Jacket

February 3, 2009 8:48 AM | Link to this

Dontae made his choice and that’s fine. I wish him well. So why would Tech withdraw their offer? Maybe they have another player to whom they would like to offer. So this frees up the scholarship. I see many truly hateful (there sure is a lot of hate out there) comments from the UGA folks about this, but I recall that about this time last year the Dog fans were outraged when a player switched to Clemson and they felt that they lost another player because of the timing. Stuff happens every year to one team or another.

Personally, I would like to see the scholarship go to Robert Godhigh who reported has agreed to come to Tech as a preferred walk on. Reward his loyalty and quit worrying about some kid that changed his mind and went elsewhere.

Has CPJ ever had to recruit before? He’s from Navy - players are given to him. He’s never had to work for one and has no idea how to.

As good as their season was, and considering there are lots of openings for new players - he doesn’t even have a top 50 recruiting class!!! And now, he kicks out one of their best. They’ve got about 12 players coming in for next year. That proves he doesn’t know what to say when he’s in a recruit’s home. Pathetic.

He listened to Auburns BS so we will see if he can walk the talk. If I remember correctly Auburn told basically the same BS to one of UT’s commits. Its strange that a player would be so impressed with AU’s new coach when AU fans aren’t,lol.

I’m glad to see that Tech pulled the scholarship offer to Dontae Aycock. The Tech coaching staff put a lot into recruiting him and then he went in another direction. Tech needs to use their remaining scholarships effectively and that includes pulling offers of scholarships sometimes so they can be offered to athletes with more interest in our program. Besides that, we already have two good quarterbacks recruited who are interested in our program: Jordan Luallen and David Sims.

What none of you seem to realize is that CPJ’s only chance at keeping the kid was to try and bully him into not visiting Auburn….He knew that once the kid had seen their facilities and program and compared them to the wreck on North Avenue that he would sign with Auburn. No one should mention honor in the same sentence as colleg recruiting…it’s a cesspool and Paul Johnson is covered with as much grime as any and every other coach.

While I usually don’t get into the whole recruiting thing, I agree completely with CPJ. To all of you who are sarcastic about a man being only as good as his word - he is. Because at the end of the day, your character defines who you are. My daughters know at 14 years old that once a commitment is made; there is no going back because I don’t let them go back. It makes them think twice about decisions, whether small or large ones. By the time we look at colleges, I will know when they make a decision, they are committed. If the parents of this young man did not instill this into him, he is behind the curve. These are morals that should already be implanted before you get into high school, much less college. I wish this young man well at Auburn and hope he takes this as a hard lesson he will learn in life. His trustworthiness depends on his word, whether it be to a college coach, a fiancé’ or a bos

Most of the comments on this blog are an embarrassment. What are you people; 4-year-old children? Did someone take away your pacifiers or keep you from your naps?

No one has heard a word about the situation from Coach Johnson, or anyone from GA Tech for that matter, so all of this discussion is moot.

Everything that’s being discussed is based on hearsay and all of your drivel is a waste of space as far as I’m concerned.

However, if you must have this conversation, and assume that the story is true, then let’s look at the situation objectively for a secondly rather than like children:

Dontae made his decision knowing what the potential consequences would be in advance, and everyone should respect his decision and wish him well. Dontae’s a great talent and a great kid.

From the GA Tech prospective, perhaps Coach Johnson felt like he made a commitment to Dontae when Dontae made a commitment to Coach Johnson at the same time, each agreeing not to renege on their commitments.

Maybe this agreement was reached after South Carolina pulled their scholarship offer from Jonathan Davis or maybe there were other terms to the offer we aren’t aware of when the scholarship was offered.

If mutual commitments were made, and then one of the parties went back on their commitment, wouldn’t it then be logical that the “contract” between the parties be broken by the party who went back on their word?

As Head Football Coach, one of Paul Johnson’s duties is to instill a level of personal responsibility to each player and discipline to the Team, and if he shows that he’s not a man of his word before a prospect signs with the Team, how much do you think they would respect him once they got on Campus later?

No, as much as I would like to have Dontae as a Yellow Jacket, if the story is true, which none of us will know unless the GA Tech Coaching Staff admits to, Coach Johnson has no choice but to pull the scholarship offer to Dontae and wish him the best of luck at Auburn University.

He was scared to death to hit someone and played maybe 2 or 3 games the rest of his time at Carolina.So you never know do you?The good part of this story is that he at least got his degree.

The bottom line is no player should want to play for a coach that feels so insecure they have to threaten a 17 year old kid. A recruit has until tomorrow to make a decision for this years class. Every coach, parent, and player should want what is best for each of the young men involved. Any one with intelligence would reevaluate on new information (ie the offer form Auburn). A coach that would punish a kid for doing the intelligent thing is only out for his on interest and not that of the kids he is recruiting. Parents, and recruits beware of Georgia Tech while this coaching staff is there.

Johnson is the perfect fit for Tech because he’s an absolute reflection of their 123 person fan base. Hypocrisy knows no bounds!!

You’ll see how every Yech fan called him a “student athlete, high charcater, remarkable young man, better than Arron Murray, blah blah blah blah.”

Yech tool fans are hypocrites. No mention on this blog at all from Yech fans saying he’s a STUDENT ATHLETE or has HIGH CHARACTER

Since when can a coach tell someone what to do with their lives. It’s a game, but looks like it’s CPJ’s way or the door. This will not go over well with the kids. Live is too short to be told what and when and how by some fat overweight knowitall. Coach, relax and let the kids enjoy the process.

Hey Saint Johnson,

I love your confidence and all, but we’re not QUITE at the level yet to where we can give a prized recuit such a ridiculous, cold ultimatum. Even if Pete Carrol did it I’d scratch my head, but for you to do it, I think you need your head examined.

LOL @ Georgia Tech trying to play hardball with recruits. Who do they think they are? I have never seen a program more full of itself after a 9-4 season in all of my life. This kid might have stuck with Georgia Tech anyway. Let him take the visit to Auburn and be damn grateful he even gave you the time of day in the first place. You are GEORGIA TECH. You are at a disadvantage because kids want to play in the NFL and Georgia Tech is not the place for that. Its just a reality. Don’t make it harder on yourself by trying to play hardball with these kids.

Good luck at Auburn Dontae and welcome to the SEC. You’ll be playing in some primetime matchups on national television instead of noon games at a half empty Grant Field. You made the right choice.

Can you believe this kid? He had the opportunity of a lifetime to play for a team that has won 13 games since 1964 against it’s instate rival, has been embarrased in several blue rug bowls, nut bowls, and inside the perimeter bowls, and gets a nice ring for winning 9 games for the first time in recent memory. What’s wrong with this kid?

Since when does a kid have to committ to one school secretly. Sounds like Johnson is a dictator. It will be interesting to see how this affects recruiting in the future.

The kid made a good move. If he wants to play in the NFL, Tech’s system will not give him a good shot. Assuming that he does not major in Urban Studies at Auburn, his education will not be much different.One plantation is no different from another.

This is just a reflection of sports as it is now. From pro free agents to kids jumping AAU teams, there is no loyalty between parties anymore. Colleges don’t honor coach’s contract extensions, coaches jump ship whenever they want, kids change schools because they are unhappy, hell even conferences get hosed over (Big East/ACC), pro teams threaten to leave town, etc. This kid had no reason to believe whatever promises CPJ made. CPJ has not yet had a chance to prove himself to be a man of honor, nor do we know how long CPJ will stay. This kid made a decision based on what he thinks is best for him now. I think CPJ’s policy is dumb.

For Dean Worm- your whole argument assumes that the Management Program at Tech is a cakewalk. As a graduate of that program, I can personally state that it is as tough or tougher than the top programs at any of the other local schools. I also have a grad degree from Ga State, and it was tougher than that. Based on what friends from UGA have said, it certainly was as tough or tougher than anything in the Business school in Athens. Now, tough has Engineering? No, but that is not the point. As far as Dontae. If he can’t keep his word, he is not the type of recruit we want. He will fit in better in the SEC.

Wish all of you would stop referring to these recruits as “young men”. Most are teenagers still and it feels great to be offered a scholarship in the early days of recruiting.I can see why they often commit due to the glamour of being in the spotlight early.CPJ left GSU and Navy. I wonder how many commitments he didn’t honor when he left.

It is CPJs right to give the kid an ultimatum. The kid made his choice, now we can move on. Similar circumstance to the ex-BC coach. He knew the consequences, yet he made his choice. I stand behind CPJ 100%. If the kid was unsure that he wanted to attend Tech, we need to look elsewhere. Time will tell if this kid made the right choice.

Johnson is a moron. Who does he think he is? Who does he think he’s coaching? USC? UF? OK? Tech had one good year in the last 12, and all at once we’re expecting kids to kill one another to get an offer from them? Tech isn’t even a top, 2, 3 tier program. It’s bottom of the barrel. Just a heads above a Duke or NC State. What a joke. Johnson is a complete fool and will be fired within 3 years.

MgtGrad, perhaps you earned a tough degree, but you still apparently cannot comprehend basic English. I never said the Management program at Tech is cupcake. My point was that many GT fans always harp about how tough the admissions standards are for THEIR athletes as compared to the easy access granted by UGA, Auburn, and all others. It’s just not true. Doubtful if your athletes, as a whole, scored any higher than athletes at other colleges. Save the “tough academics” crying for potential employers, not the rank and file discussing athletics.

For all of you Neysayers or uneducated “Dawg” fans still burning from November, you don’t know the whole story….this kid was greatly influenced by his half brother who put himself into the middle of the recruiting circle, circumvented the kids high school coaches, and tried to play the big man and dictate what was going to happen. Unfortunately, this happens alot, particularly with families without great structure. This guy told the kid to disregard what his high school coaches were telling him, what PJ told him, and he would handle everything. Now he has screwed up the kids future! Guess he played the big adviser like he played defense at Detroit!! PJ held this scholarship open for the kid, it was a quiet commit because the kid wanted to make the “splash announcement” on signing day…PJ, the kid, and HS coaches all knew he was committed. GT cannot comment on any potential signees or commitments publically! The kid got some terrible advise, and word from a teacher at his school, he is really regretting the outcome!!

Not to play for a neverwas program who creams themselves over a 9 win season to the point they make CrackerJacker rings for themselves. I heard his mother wasn’t excited about Johnson playing a rapist next year, let alone being such a scumbag that he won’t put it loyal seniors in a blowout Chick-fil-a Bowl that Yech had no business even being on the field in.

“For this recruit to then forgo his former commitment because another team decided to step in at the last moment tells me one thing. HE WAS NOT THE KIND OF PERSON YOU WANT LEADING YOUR TEAM!!!! I am not hating on UGA, but I think that the same can be said for Greg Reid. He commited early to UF and again, nobody forced him to do that.”

Dont you realize how dumb you sound. Stephen Hill was commited to Central Florida and Paul Johnson had no problem recruiting him and inviting him to the school anyway. Yet when one of his recruits does the same thing he acts like it is such a horrible thing to do and pulls his scholarship offer?? What a double standard. Get over yourselves, you guys are no better than any other school when it comes to going after already commited prospects. GaTech is still going after Mike Gilliard also and he is commited to UGA!!!

The positive: We won 9 games and beat UGA for the first time in 8 years, shortening the margin to a reachable 23 games.

The negative: We got stomped and humiliated at home in the Chick-fil-a Bowl. We made very incredibly lame rings for zero championships. We’re losing kids left and right to the SEC in recruiting. We’re looking like Prima donnas giving a young child an ultimatum for making one of the biggest decisions in his life.

So far the negative is far outweighting the positive in the Johnson era. I’m not the least bit impressed.

KneeJerk,

Being a child is being a hypocrite like Johnson and yourself. He broke his contract with Navy that was actually a SIGNED document. Johnson had no problem stealing a kid from another school who had given the same exact same kind of commitment that Aycock did.

What was Johnson so scared of? Why not let the CHILD go to Auburn and see for himself what they had to offer?

Tough to know what’s going on without more detail.

I didn’t like it when Jagodinski (BC coach) was fired for interviewing with the Jets. On the surface, pulling the scholarship strikes me as wrong, but it may be damage control (Tech was going to lose this kikd so no sense having the scholarship in limbo).

Hey AJC - any word on who is waiting in the wings for that scholarship? HELLO, are there any reporters in the building?

Because said “child” made a last minute decision. CPJ could have been recruiting someone else that really wanted to be at Tech. Navy didn’t give johnson an ultimatum, although they had every right to. Aycock knew the consequences, yet he made the trip. Johnson was not “scared” of anything, just following through on his word. It’s good to see a coach not let an 18 year old kid leave him twisting in the wind.

Kids are just kids, so I wish him well, but I also commend Tech and CPJ for hanging tough. Tech needs kids who want to play in the NFL, but who are also smart enough to know that they’d better get a good education to fall back on just in case. Aycock obviously isn’t one of them.

The point here, IMHO, is that Coach Johnson has done the right thing. The same is true of the kid’s high school coach. Those on here who think breaking one’s word is the right, or even acceptable, thing to do come from a different value system than I was raised under, (apparently Coach Johnson and the high school coach were also taught what I was taught).

This is the clearest indication to me that Coach Johnson is definitely the kind of coach a school should be hiring. This is how you get kids who really want to play for a school. Forget 4 stars, 5 stars, etc. You just must have kids who are committed to the school. If Coach Johnson continues this way, Tech will be a team to be reckoned with. After all, he won 9 games without any of his own players! I don’t care whom you pull for, that’s impressive.

I assume it is clear that I am a lifelong UGA fan, but Coach Johnson is quickly earning my respect.
