What to worry about: Longtime linebacker commit Charlie Patrick of Mays will visit Troy this weekend … Kelvin Rainey, an inside linebacker from Iowa Western, a junior college, signed his letter of intent, but has yet to report to campus.
Quote of the week: "With the six UAB transfers (coming in), it takes away from the scholarships (available for) high school guys. With the situation that Georgia State is in, they need to win now. With a new athletic director and new plans on the horizon, including the potential for Turner Field, this program is in win-now mode, for sure." — PantherTalk.com's Ben Moore
Up next: Georgia State basically is trying to keep what it has for the next two weeks.
