While we were out......

all hell continued to break loose in the topsy-turvy world of college football expansion. Looks like this whole mess will be sorted out by the end of the week. Just hope & pray John Swofford doesn't get too involved. A couple significant developments regarding Tech over the weekend:
  • Defensive end Robert Hall has been suspended indefinitely after being arrested last week following a domestic altercation with his live-in girlfriend, women's basketball player Bridgette Ardossi. Not good, not good at all. What's this mean in football terms? Hall would have been a back-up DE this year & likely seen some playing time, albeit it nothing significant. We'll make our Fulmer Cup debut later on this afternoon....
  • Tech held it's invite only football camp on Saturday & picked up a couple of new commitments from the festivities. Hillgrove's Jabari Hunt-Days (6'2", 225), brother of incoming freshman QB Synjyn Days, committed on the spot when offered by CPJ. Hunt-Days had recently been blowing up the combine circuit & will play linebacker at Tech. Offensive guard Shaq Mason (6'1", 305) of Columbia, Tennessee also committed on Saturday. Mason looks like a prototype guard for our offense & is certainly very well put together for a 16 year old. That's correct, he's 16! Love to get solid O-line commits. Also of note: Tech leads for Monroe Area DE Stephon Tuitt, Rivals #59 prospect in the country. Tuitt's teammate, DE Kendarious Whitehead, a 2012 recruit, also had a great time at the camp over the weekend. Two new offers also went out, athlete Darren Waller from North Cobb & LB David Helton of the Baylor (sic)School were offered spots for 2011.
Now to recover from Pensacola.......
