This should be a lock. I love that CPJ is getting creative with his recruiting. Every tech fan knows that we can’t compete with the SEC schools that we’re in the middle of for the best recruits. Going international for players is one way we can get the talent, we just might have to develop it. While GT doesn’t hold much over UGA in the state of GA, internationally GT is highly regarded while no one has ever heard of the dawgs…

GTJason, there is more truth to what you said about Tech being known internationally than what you realize. I was on a tour in Turkey last summer, and was talking about basketball with my Turkish tour guide. When I told him that I had gone to Georgia Tech, he said, “oh yes, the Yellow Jackets.” He had seen quite a few Tech basketball games on TV in Turkey when he was a kid. I mentioned that our number one rival was UGA, the bulldogs. He said he had never heard of them. Obviously after that I gave him a BIG tip for the tour. LOL

Not football related, but Georgia Tech has been in the news internationally, too. In fact, Vice President Richard Nixon and Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev sang the song together during a summit in Moscow back in 1958. Nixon suggested singing a song to ease the tension in the room. Khrushchev had heard “I’m a Ramblin’ Wreck” on an Ed Sullivan sing-a-long during a previous trip to the United States, and since Nixon knew no Russian songs, “I’m a Ramblin’ Wreck” was sung by default.

The AJC Site for Jacket Fans has become a complete joke.
A normal narrative among Tech Fans can no longer be had here due to the jealousy of what seems to be every college program in the nation.
If I check the UGA blog right now, I will not see any Tech fans bashing any UGA fan nor any UGA recruit.
Are all UGA fans poor pathetic wastes of humanity like the wee little men that come here and hide behind their keyboards?
I really don’t get what losers you are hanging around pestering Tech fans on this site.
You have owned us in football for the last 10 years, so what makes this site so interesting that you just can’t seem to get enough of it??? I hate UGA so much that I would never grace your AJC site for any reason what so ever. I have no desire in being associated with anything UGA! I despise the color RED because of you pathetic losers, and I will never be caught wearing such a hideous color at any point of my life.
UGA fans don’t seem to share that kind of passion. Maybe all UGA fans actually love GT and this is one way that they feel that they can be a part of the GT program???
Please have your “Biggest UGA Fan” respond to my post as to why they can’t stay off of the Tech AJC site. Please make sure that your biggest fan can actually read and write in coherent sentences. Also, please make sure that he is a UGA graduate and not a typical UGA “bandwagon baby”.

Good luck on the Aussie recruit, although this is not what GT needs. Majority of recruits live in or around ATL…need to reestablish their relationship with those schools. No reason they should be pulling more studs in the local area with all the playing time available at Tech.

We, Dawgs, have our issues with our program just like Tech dones. Both mediocre at best right now. Will have some big wins, and some ugly losses. UGA problem is handcuffing the talent we recruit each year. Inconsistent yearly recruiting at certain key positions, ie. Oline. And an old fashioned playbook and offensive philosophy. And I hate to admit, some stubbornness at two key coaching positions. But things could be worse, it’s all fixable. Just depends how hot the fire is underneath a few of those seats.

G_Dwag I will say, and I know you guys hate it, but the public/government state educational system doesn’t create enough math & since based students. Tech needs ALL students to be interested in the Maths and Sciences so we can recruit Athletes that like those degrees as well. The Tech student is 5-8 145 to 6-0 180 and that does not a football team make. It is too COOL to DUMB DOWN in our current educational system.

That’s okay, Ghost, Fred Horton and Isaah Johnson weren’t highly recruited and they’ve proved to be quite capable players for the Jackets as well. I think there are several receivers and running backs who will attest that they are qualified to play at this level, and I suspect Lynn will as well.

The funniest part is Tech continues to own Clemson. I can tolerate the dogs talking smack because they have owned Tech, but Clemson? Haha West Virginia just scored another TD!

Lynn had offers from UNC, Wake, and Southern Miss….he’s a 3* Safety…6′, 206 lbs, and runs a 4.4 40…excellent pickup for GT! The Aussie kid and Dalvin will bring us up to 18 total commits.

Hey 5150, How ’bout sharing your knowledge with Super. He constantly states that GT does not offer Liberal Arts. And that when faced with it he brings up the Calc I and Calc II for freshmen. GT does offer liberal arts through the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts AND the freshemen can take Survey of Calculus followed by finite math. I’m not saying this is easy, because it is not. The degrees from I A College of Liberal Arts are extremely prestigious. But it is Liberal Arts without the Engineering grade calculus. That’s my point.

Go Jackets!

I’ve only watched the video from the link but I hope he signs. The link reads 6′4″+ and @295 lbs, good size and could probably see early playing time. I like having an Aussie and Englishman on the team.

Sure Dawgs, here’s your chance to make a “witty” comment.

What’s the word on Mr. Tomlinson?

I spent 15 months of my life (1996-1997) in Australia…….great country with very athletic and dedicated men. I think this is a great idea and I would bet this kid will develop into a VERY solid player. I wonder if he palys OL or DL…….he definitely has the size.

Okie, Get over it. The degree depends are what someone does with it. All education is a good thing. My Doctor is a UGA graduate and the best in the world. In my opinion. Yes, he graduated from other schools, but he is a dawg fan. I have the greatest respect for him.

I will pull for the Jackets but have no malice for the Bulldogs. I actually pull for them until that day in November.

GT technically doesn’t have any Liberal Arts degrees. Every Bachelors and Masters degree at GT is a Science degree. Meaning you have to take the Calculus courses or the equivalent courses for non engineers. You also have to take a semester of Computer Science, and two semesters of Lab Science (no easy choice here). Just because the focus of study for the major is a traditional Liberal Arts subject doesn’t mean it’s a Liberal Arts degree.

Glad your high in Holt, Johnson was pretty heavily recruited, offers from SEC schools. PJ l;ast 2 seasons when the tougher games come up has been 3-10. Not coaching anyone up, this is not a Div 1 staff recruiting or player development.

OkieDwag it is a a Program tract. Why don’t you use GOOGLE and look up GIT and you can read more Info on th Ivan Allen Liberal Arts college and the requirements? It is not OUR job to feed your lack of knowledge. You need to READ/ RESEARCH for yourself so you understand it. I/we could LIE to you and you could be as DUMB as the Dwag fans that KNOW Tech players had a custom made ring to celebrate the win over the Dwags. Tech fans and even Mark Bradley have tried to explain the TRUTH and FACTS about the rings and you mutts still just can’t UNDERSTAND the TRUTH.

Okie, I don’t believe I ever said that Tech does not offer liberal arts in the curriculum; if I did, then I was obviously incorrect. What I BELIEVE I said was that Tech is not a liberal arts university. Even when I was in school way back when, it was possible to use a degree from Tech to get into medical school (not pre-med specifically, but it served the same purpose). So yes, there are liberal arts at Tech; in a sense, even architecture could be considered a liberal art. But Tech still remains an engineering and science INSTITUTE, NOT a UNIVERSITY. The name “Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts is a relatively new name change, and some of the programs offered in that college are VERY NEW. As far as what kind of calculus the I A College students take, when I was in school ALL students took one year of calculus, and it was the same course for everyone. Whether that has been changed in recent years, honestly I do not know. Regardless of whether it is the same calculus the engineers take or a survey or whatever, it is still more than any university (including VT) requires their non-engineering students to take.

@GTBob, that’s funny! Somehow I survive.

The crux of okie’s point is that Tech’s academic standards (specifically for football and basketball players) are no different than UGA. I don’t feel like googling it, but good luck and have fun.

Goodnight, my Tech friends, I appreciate your passion for Tech. I respect all of you because at the end of the day, I bet we can all coalesce around the fact we are Georgians and we are darn proud. But “Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate” is my birthright. I come from a long line of DAWGS and I will continue to Hate (in a somewhat clean fashion) the Techerhead program, but not the indivuals.

The State of Ga. is #3 in the USA if you look at numbers of 4* Recruits and higher, yet Coach Kung Fu Panda chooses to go all the way to friggin’ AUSTRALIA for a Recruit that played against much LESSER competition than what our own home-grown recruits here in Ga. play against.

Our Recruits do NOT major in Engineering for the most part, in most cases our FB Recruits major in either Business Admin or Economics.

GT Fans need to get over themselves, it ain’t that hard to fill a Roster of good players that can also major in Business Admin.

We lost guys like Ray Drew, Chris Conley, Justin Scott-Wesley, Sterling Bailey and others to UGA and we have lost guys like Tuitt to ND and Vaughters to Stanford.

If you look at the ACADEMIC QUALIFIERS that we have lost to other schools just during the CPJ-Era, we could easily have a string of Top-15 Recruiting classes and a much better FB program.

GT is losing these Academic Qualifiers for FB-RELATED REASONS, not because of our “elite Academics”; the Academics Excuse is a handy CRUTCH that the GT fanbase like to use, but Academics ain’t GT’s Problem.

Of the Top-100 Recruits in Ga., roughly 65-70 are full Academic Qualifiers for GT’s FB program.

If you look at UGA’s “dream team” Recruiting class from last year, GT offered 12-15 of those guys.

Of the Top-7 RBs in Ga. this year, all were ACADEMIC QUALIFIERS for GT, but GT & CPJ whiffed on all of the Top-7 RBs in Ga. for 2012, so instead we had to resort to recruiting an OLB from Florida (M. Allen) to play B-Back when all the other HCs Recruiting him had him projected as an OLB .

GT’s FOOTBALL-RELATED issues are the problem with GT’s FB program, but since the School & fanbase has been in DENIAL for the better part of 50 years, they instead take the easy way out and Blame everything on GT’s “Elite Academics”.

GT can field a pretty damn good FB team made up of BUSINESS ADMIN Majors if they really wanted to.
