It would be really impressive, be the first in your family to get a degree and do it from a great school like Tech.

Sounds like a WELL ROUNDED, HIGH CHARACTER STUDENT ATHLETE. He’ll definitely be a Dawg

Looks like another recruit UGA loses to GT. Don’t worry mutts, you’ll start getting use to it soon.

The key word, “earning”, sorry bank walker. Welcome to GT Jeff.

Jeffrey, congratulation! Stay in state. Both Tech and UGA are great institutions.

Do you want to be on TV on Thursday nights or on prime time Saturdays? ACC or SEC, Yellow Jackets or Bull Dawgs, 45,000 people or 90,000 people.

Good luck.

Jeez guys, im a pathetic loser. I didn’t realize how much i posted both over the weekend, and over Valentine’s Day. Lord knows im not getting any :(

I talk about GT fans getting mad at facts, but in all REALITY i am the one who is just so ticked off that gt beat my beloved dawgs, so now i spend all of my time trying to belittle GT and their fans. I just can’t seem to grasp how pathetic I am :(.

Hey dap01…

What do you think ESPN Thursday Night Football is??? It is prime time you moron. Even more, it is the only game on during that time…it screams exposure!!!

I hate to say it…UGA fans are just plain ignorant!!!

This really sounds like a smart kid that has really got his priorities figured out. Hope he is a Dawg one day, but good luck to him whatever he decides.

Jeffrey, congratulations on all the offers. It sounds like your priorities are exactly where they should be. Best of luck wherever you choose to attend college.

That’s why they select these games, moron.

Jeffrey can go to GA and play in front of 90000 hicks like RealityYech and when he’s through with football he will have some imaginary degree that will qualify him for flipping burgers. Or, he can chose the other option that will open doors for the rest of his life.

Good luck with your choice. I hope you do better than poor Steven Threet. I see that he has now left Michigan. It seems that everywhere he goes switches to an offense that does not fit his drop back style. He’s just snakebit.

They haven’t completed their degrees yet, moron(aka R/Y). They left early for the NFL/NBA big bucks.

Are you still whimpering because I was boinking your Grammy during Tech’s 8-game win steak? You are next in the family, although at my age I may have to ask you to wear a nice shade of pink lipstick with a high gloss. You bring the KY.

BAWHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!! Oh is that the spin? They haven’t finished their degrees YET!!!! Classic Tech copout!! I think the hoopsters I named have had years, some well over a decade, to complete their degrees. Hmm…maybe they weren’t STUDENT ATHLETES to begin with like we all know.

Will you tell us more about how the 2007 QB recruiting class was superior to the 2005 class? I want to laugh some more :)

“Did Herchel ever come back and get his Crayon Technology Degree?”

Yep. After only his first pro season Herschel returned to UGA to finish up his criminal justice degree. He also was valedectorian of his high school class and is now a very successful business man that gives more money to charity than most Tech grads will ever make in their entire lives. In other words, he is a winner. Herschel Walker represents the University of Georgia better than any Tech football player could ever represent the North Avenue Glorified Trade School.

I’m willing to sit back and let Tech fans spew venomous lies about Georgia football players to a point, but you cross a line with Herschel. Herschel Walker craps bigger than Georgia Tech football. Good day.

Yes and Herschels graduating class at Johnson County High School had about 30 students, including his sister. Give or take a few personalities.

Billy, that’s only one recruiting poll, and we really didn’t go head to head very much except for Stephen Hill who ya’ll really didn’t want to begin with, but then went after really hard, but then you definitely didn’t want, or need, after he said he wasn’t changing his mind.

I will give you that all the polls have this year’s class ahead of GT.

The margin is closing and I’m just trying to help you come to terms with it.

Consider it a favor.

Nice prospect from a quality high school program. I would like to see him playing for GT. Sounds like he will be successful wherever he goes.

By Recruitnik

Hmm, You obviously have reading words syndrome. It’s a very clever illness followed by replying with nonsense. Last I checked Calvin was a while ago (thus the comment I made). Morgan Burnett made it clear he wasn’t going to end up at UGA because he wanted to make a name for himself. That happens often when you have a legacy. Josh Nesbitt.. LOLOL UGA gets who they want instate between gt and uga, unless they of course offer the kid a week before signing day..

Buddy El, I have two good friends who are Chief Surgeons at their respective hospitals( one in ATL & a major one) & they were both engineers. Another who was a HS classmate from my little dinky high school also was a Tech grad & is a M.D. although I I am not sure what kind. My own family Dr. is an Emory grad. I will say that two of the most dangerous quacks ever to practice medicine in my little town were GA grads.

So take that & stuff it.

Seems I answered your questions, and you responded with garbage. You girls also wanted Stephen Hill. Now im not saying that GT gets every recruit over uga, athens gets most of them, but to say that GT NEVER gets a recruit over uga is ignorant and laughable. Exactly what i would expect from a mutt. That forbes ranking is laughable. Since when is La Grange college above GT? LOL what a joke.

Looks like Jeffrey’s got a lot of options - good for him. Being a WRHS and Tech graduate I’m obviously hopeful he’ll choose Tech and glad he’s excited about a college degree. Whichever way he decides - good luck to him. Sounds like he’s got a good head on his shoulders and comes from a great part of Georgia (WR). Go Jackets!!

I hope he comes to UGA, but, more importantly, I hope he stays healthy and keeps his grades up so that he can go somewhere. I love hearing about young people who are the first in their family to have the opportunity to attend college. Whether it is through sports, the HOPE, or academics, finding a way to be the first college graduate in the family is the American dream. Good luck to him.

Jeffrey, take your time when making a decision and have your parents deeply involved in the process. If you’re seriously considering Tech, keep this in mind (from the AJC) about their fan base:

Georgia Tech ranked No. 48, drawing 47,489 per game, down 5.5 percent from 50,280 in 2007.

You have your best season in years and your attendance DROPS?!?!

Okay, Baba, how about we have won 7 of the last 8 meetings over Tech, 14 of the last 19, etc. etc.? Also, UGA averaged over 92,000 per game versus gt’s 47,000. How about we’re one of only two teams to win at least 10 games 6 out of the last 7 years? How about that UGA puts more players in the NFL over gt? Need I say more, Baba?

Hey, RAMBLE Steve Kneejerk ON Superior, how have you been? You like to pop off about Herschel’s personalities. Sounds like you have more post names than he has personalities. Lame, dude, lame.

Typical gt fallback. You can’t back up your own football program so you bring UF to the fight. So here’s the facts:

Since 1990 UF has owned UGA by winning 16 out of 19 games.

Since 1990 UGA has owned GT by winning 14 out of 15 games.

Go ahead, RAMBLE Steve KneeJerk ON Superior, bring your big brother, daddy, wife-sister to the fight to do your bidding for you. What a toad!!
