2017 Recruiting

[70TECHGRAD]

The most impressive thing is he actually breaks up passes. Wow! Of course, after he gets to Tech our defensive coaches will "coach him up" such as:

Now listen, kid, here's how we do it in Ruston, first let the guy catch the ball, then miss the tackle. Got it?

Ugh...I saw that a lot in Hattiesburg this year when we played Southern Miss!!!!

Think the Robertson guy may recommit? He's tweeted/retweeted some favorable stuff last few days.

I'm just surprised that LSU isn't already full. Isn't it a little unusual for them to be scrambling around at the last minute trying to sign kids?

Where's that moron North LA Tiger? He said LSU NEVERS recruits players Tech recruits. Never, ever!!!

If we can hold all of these commitments (which we probably can) this is going to be a phenomenal signing class!

A couple of these are already with us right? If so we are back to the numbers Holtz has been saying all along. IMO he will save the remaining spots for walk ons and last minute guys. Maybe a surprise or two.

Robertson has decommitted. Has offers from Houston, OSU, LSU, and I know he visited Texas.

[dawg80]

Great to see we're getting some TALL Wide Receivers!

Provided they have good hands to go along with it.

And, I dunno, Trent did okay as a non-tall WR.

Very true, I hope the recruiters of these WR looked for their ball-catching abilities, ability to run routes, and speed/quickness. However, having the tallness is something that makes them very useful even if they are not as intelligent and competitive as Trent. I was just remarking it was good to see 4+ WR above 6 foot. That's great that we can bring that into a class here.

Robertson has decommitted. Has offers from Houston, OSU, LSU, and I know he visited Texas.

The local paper down in his part of the state has quoted him as saying his top 3 choices are Tech, Houston, and LSU. He wants to go somewhere where he feels he will be part of a "family" and stay close to his son.

Robertson has decommitted. Has offers from Houston, OSU, LSU, and I know he visited Texas.

Actually, I read that he cancelled his trip to Texas and was scheduled to take a trip to OSU instead.

[T1]

Actually, I read that he cancelled his trip to Texas and was scheduled to take a trip to OSU instead.

He did cancel trip to Texas. They wanted him on offense. He recently tweeted that he is going to visit Houston this weekend instead of OSU. (and LSU next weekend).
