According to recruiting “experts” — and I defer to Rivals and Scout in this area, much like I would defer to Mrs. Paul’s when it comes to being experts on seafood – Georgia Tech really stinks in recruiting. As Georgia Tech athletic director Mike Bobinski accurately summarized, “We are a society of gross overstatement and exaggeration,” and that’s no more evident than in recruiting. This is all you need to know about the “experts” recruiting rankings: In real football last season, the Yellow Jackets finished No. 8 in the AP rankings and No. 7 in the coaches’ poll. That 2014 team that went 11-3 and won the Orange Bowl was built on recruiting classes (2011-14) that Rivals ranked 41st, 57th, 85th and 47th and Scout ranked 46th, 59th, 72nd and 47th. “We were recruiting a guy a week ago and he was a two-star,”... “Now one of the schools in the top five is recruiting him and he’s a four-star — three days later. Johnson signed 27 players, the biggest recruiting class of his tenure. Let’s not make this out that Johnson does so much more with less than most coaches because that would suggest the recruiting rankings were accurate to begin with. Every player in this class is a “three-star. No top 100s. The class ranking: 37th by Rivals, 40th by Scout.

It was bad enough the first time around. and frankly, it's come back far too soon if you ask me. You see, today is Friday the 13th. And it's here for the second time in four weeks. We'll have to wait and see. But the number 13. It's never bothered me. I even wore 13 one year when I was playing baseball as a kid. so that wasn't too bad, considering that was about 20 points higher than I'd hit the year before. But if this Friday the 13th is anything like the last one, I should just unplug the alarm clock, pull the blankets over my head and call in sick. The alarm clock was actually the first of my problems just four short weeks ago on February's Friday the 13th--it never went off. You study the clock for the longest time because you know that little hand should be pointing at the seven, not the eight. So the first thing you do, if you're anything like me, is blame your wife. "How was I supposed to know what time you wanted to get up. " she replied defensively. "You know what time I get up. " I scolded accusingly. "Oh, sure," she snapped, "it's my fault that you didn't get up on time. why is it always on the day you're late that the gas tank is empty. "I'm late," I exclaimed as I run back into the house, "and I'm low on gas.
