DEL.ICIO.USUCLA coach Rick Neuheisel makes early offer to Gainesville WR
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Categories
Two days after attending Junior Day at Florida State, Gainesville junior wide receiver Tai-ler Jones received a mild surprise Monday evening when he answered his phone and was greeted by UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel.
“It’s great to get a phone call with an offer from a school of that caliber,” said Jones, whose scholarship offer count now stands at 18. “It’s definitely a school I’ll take a look at.”
Jones was torn late last week on whether to attend Junior Day at Florida or Georgia Tech on Saturday. He wound up going to Junior Day in Tallahassee.
“[Florida State’s] campus seemed a lot bigger than I thought it would be,” Jones said. “Everything seemed renovated and brand new.
“They’ve got a machine that measures body composition and tells you how to train. Only a couple of colleges and pro teams have that machine.”

That’s ok St. Simons … laugh! Laugh hearty and deep and enjoy every second of it. Tech will always be the wimpy little brother in Georgia college football. You know … the one who only occasionally gets the better of his elder but then has hell to pay for the deed. So enjoy it now but remember … even a blind hog finds an acorn now and then. The streak starts again this fall in Atlanta with the beatdown you have coming at the hands of a pack of p** off bulldawgs.

st simons.. I am a GT fan and I loved the win but it was only a 3 point win. We need alot more convincing victories before we talk trash for no reason at all.
