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.

Unranked, unrated new buzzwords as Tech lands trio

For the first time in over three months, Coach Paul Johnson has obtained a commitment from a prospect of any note.

Three-star offensive lineman Errin Joe out of Lakeland, FL pledged for Tech on Sunday, toting behind a respectable list of offers which included Miami(FL) and West Virginia. Tech was reportedly Joe's second choice, but the committable offer from his first pick, FSU, was not forthcoming.

Much like with the Simple Option offense however, there's always a little bit of bad sprinkled in with the good.
