Unfazed, Johnson reloads with top F(C)S talent

Coach Paul Johnson filled two urgent needs Sunday night, securing the commitments of Sean Tobin, one of the nation's finest longsnapping prospects, and "under-the-radar" DE Kyle Travis out of South Forsyth. In fact Travis was so far off the radar that he did not have a page dedicated to him on either Scout or Rivals until shortly after his commitment. How resourceful of Coach Johnson!

Tobin should come right in and assist with longsnapping immediately, much to the relief and cheers of Tech fans across the globe, while Travis will likely redshirt and then fit deftly into the gap created by the heathenous decommits of worthless rabble such as Darrius Caldwell and Stephon Tuitt.

By the way, Travis's "other" scholarship offer per his brand-spanking new Rivals.com page was from none other than Jeff Monken's high-flying Eagles of Georgia Southern! It should be noted that while Johnson is 0 for 28 head-to-head in recruiting versus UGA this season, he has now spirited several promising young men from the clutches of hated Southern, adroitly tightening Tech's stranglehold on the #2 position in-state.

But let's be serious here for a moment: the Tech Rivals site has (hilariously) framed Tobin's commitment as "addressing" the special teams problems! After all, how many big games did we lose this season because of incompetent longsnapping?

Even we didn't think Johnson had become so desperate.

    Georgia Tech desperately tries to get Xzavier Ward - who would be their top commit this year - to visit, and he goes to Mississippi State instead. UGA offers him, and Ward takes it immediately. Then, to add insult to injury: "But I didn’t want to go too far from home and I liked the idea of playing in-state for the state school."

  2. Just wondering if you honestly believe that a high star rating equals out to a succesfull recruit? If you did any studying at all instead of being just a plain idiot you would realize that players that are 2 or 3 stars typically have more success at the college and NFL level than those "precious" 5 stars that UGAG loads up on every year.

  3. Yes I do honestly believe that. Your claim is woefully incorrect and does not take into account the sheer number of 2/3 star rated recruits vs 5 star recruits. In fact you have inspired me to write an entire post on the matter, which should be published soon.
