I don't give a damn about the NFL. I'm referring to the college game. I repeat: if you want to suggest that Paul Johnson runs a pass-friendly offense that favors WRs, I doubt you will find many people who will agree with you. Nice try, though.
Robertson skipping Georgia visit this weekend?

For what? Football players that want to major in arts and letters? Tech has the highest average SAT for football players among schools that report it. The only better engineering school among those with P5 football is Stanford.
Let me guess, you've never heard of this:
http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities
Also feel free to check out rankings of ND's undergraduate business program.
so let him go to GT if that is his dream school. All those guys you mentioned got to the NFL because they had great combines to display athleticism. Then that athleticism that was 'on hold' for their college football years was able to florish. And yes, that was exactly how S Hill was described coming oyt of GT. So if O.DRob wishes to further delay his actual football career as a WR, while he ponders which NFL team he fancies, then yes, he ought pick GT.
We always get bumped down on USNews because of our limited majors. We're a STEM school. Notre Dame has all kinds of touchy, feely liberal arts majors you can hide football players in to get an easy degree, just like Duke.
^ and you know this for a fact? ND athletes are student athletes; not athletes who are faux students.
do your football players live by the rules and student life standards within the general population of the student body? Or does GT have a separate football or athletic dorm? (don't ask a ? you do not know the answer to)

I guess the number one undergrad business program technically doesn't fit into stem. I don't have the evidence but I thought I read where some 35% of football players were in Mendoza. Anyhow I know you've conjured up a scenario where only GT is educating football kids in tough courses but that isnt reality.
Why don't we also discuss wrs. Mike Floyd, golden Tate, theo riddick and Tj jones hold their own as a group vs most of the guys you mentioned. Not as top heavy because Calvin is hof but damn there's a lot of production there and all were drafted within the last 5-6 years. The production in college is not in question.
Look lets just let it play out, I don't want to crap on your alma mater, it's a great school and have done great putting wrs in the nfl. Why don't we all leave it there?

ND always gets bumped down on US News because we don't have a med school. So we can play the excuse game, too.
As someone with grad degrees both in liberal arts and in science, I completely scoff at your notion that the Humanities are "touchy-feely." Your dismissing of liberal arts really betrays profound stupidity and ignorance.
You want to tout Georgia Tech's academics? Fine. It's a very good school. But to disparage ND's academics in light of the evidence (did you google the rankings of ND's undergrad business program, a program in which you will find a large proportion of football players enrolled?) just makes you look like a desperate fool.

For what it's worth; he posted the following picture late last night on Instagram with the message to his "Momma" I do this for yu!
Hahahah now you don't give a damn about the NFL? You asked a question of why a top WR would want to play in paul Johnsons offense. I give you facts about a clear path to the league but you want to selectively screen that out. How about also getting single coverage on EVERY pass play. Do you think a WR likes that? GTs route trees are not very good but the WR position is clearly highlighted and several kids have gotten 1,000 plus yard years under CPJ. Is Bama's offense "pass friendly?" Yet they have had Julio Jones and the kid from last year that was the first receiver taken. Your argument is just silly man...stop now while you're only 3 steps behind.
The arguments back and forth on which school is better is a waste of time. They are both great academic institutions and cross regional and even global boundaries unlike many schools that are only respected locally.
Not too bright, are you? Let me simplify this for you since you're obviously a little slow: I not once mentioned the NFL because I never watch it. I mentioned Paul Johnson's offense. Last I checked, Paul Johnson doesn't coach in the NFL; he coaches in college. I referred to his style of football being largely run-oriented. For some reason, you want to dispute that it is a primarily run-oriented offense. That refers to Georgia Tech. Not the NFL. Got it now?
Three steps behind? This coming from the idiot who's implying that Paul Johnson's offense is pass-friendly and alluded to Calvin Johnson who never played under your current coach.
I repeat: if you want to suggest that Paul Johnson runs a pass-friendly offense that favors WRs, I doubt you will find many people who will agree with you. To suggest otherwise really demonstrates that you have little knowledge of the college game.
Come back when you have something intelligent to say. I won't be holding my breath.
Hmmmm who is really the idiot. He never said once that Paul's offense is a pass friendly offense. The point is that he would probably play a combo of slot receiver/running back and WR in GT offense. If he is a talent , Paul's offense has shown that he will get the ball and he will shine. You are talking about an offense that you obviously know absolutely nothing about and are just spewing typical crap that you hear from various media sources.
It's all good Bule1. Classic Irish just confirms that he actually didn't go to Notre Dame but simply Roots for the team. I can take the punishment just confused on why anyone thinks because you're a great receiver that you automatically want to go to Texas Tech and get the ball 40 times a game. I think I proved a point that WRs have several reasons to go to GT even though they are 70/30 split on run to pass. What's funny is the kid was committed to Bama for a full year and they are just as run oriented but only Classic Irish is confused on why a kid goes to a run oriented team...he just ignores all my salient points of single coverage and chooses to throw insults my way. Everybody loves an Internet hero tho...so go on making terrible arguments while winning war on Insults. But I did notice that none of your Notre Dame compadres are coming to your defense to back you up.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^As far as my point about you not having anything intelligent to say: I rest my case. You have proven nothing. You alluded to a player that never played under Johnson. If you call that proof, then I have nothing further to tell you. You want to claim that Johnson's offense is pass-friendly, keep thinking that. Maybe you also think professional wresting is real.
PS: wrong again, imbecile---Notre Dame, class of 1992.
Hmmm, why do I suspect that terrycomer is using another screen name just to agree with himself? Funny that all these Georgia Tech people are suddenly haunting this board today.
As far as knowing nothing about your offense: I saw it completely shut down for 59 minutes this past fall in ND stadium.
Dude please check your facts. He referenced D Thomas, who played his whole career under CPJ. Are you really that ignorant or are you just joking now.
Classic - reading comprehension my friend.
WRs under Paul Johnson regime: two first round draft picks, a 4th round draft pick and a 6th round draft pick. Again, only two schools in the entire country can say they have done better and Notre Dame ain't one of them.
Why are you so butt hurt by the fact the kid is considering GT but not Bama?
So class of 92...so that makes you like 50! I thought you might be a current student based on how you pound your chest anonymously on a msg board. I don't hide behind screen names so look me up anytime you need a job! It was nice playing with you...
Earlier in the thread you...I mean he referred to Calvin Johnson. You go check your facts, half-wit. By the way, you guys ranked 123 out of 127 in total passing offense last season. Bravo.
And that would be checkmate.

123 out of 127 teams last season. Great passing offense there. Um, class of 1992 makes me 50? You need some remedial math.
I think the following link is the nail in the coffin. But hey, keep telling yourself that Georgia Tech has an offense any receiver would want to play in. Do you also believe in the Easter Bunny? LOL!

Hey; I'm a first-timer here, not trying to pick any fight. I have the utmost respect for Notre Dame. My Dad actually went there for a short time while in the Military during WWII. I just saw your thread and thought I'd share the Instagram Photo D-Rob put up late last night. To my knowledge, that's the first "communication" of any sort he's made since his SAT score came in.
Saw that. If he wants to go to Georgia Tech, that's cool. It will demonstrate that academics are indeed important to him. But to suggest that the best HS wide receiver in the country would be right at home in Georgia Tech's offense (as the other Georgia Tech fans in this thread keep insisting) is absurd in my opinion. NCAA statistics (which I linked in my posts) bear that out.
I believe he would be playing an A-Back in the GA Tech Offense rather than a WR, which he is very familiar with because of his High School Offense. He'd have an opportunity to get multiple touches running and catching from that position, which is appealing to him.
That's correct. He's not big enough to be WR in a GT offense and would play our slot/wing back position. I simply provided evidence of why a WR would come to GT since a couple of fans on here found the thought comical of WR having interest in GT. However, if you look at Robertson, his highlight film shows him catching pitches on the edge in the exact offense that GT runs (ironic huh?). You don't see him catching many passes. I don't think Classic Irish has even looked at the kids film. He's an athlete and could play CB, WR and RB depending on where he goes to school and will be a return specialist.
Why would a top flight WR go to Paul Johnson and Tech? Does he only want to average 20 catches a year?
So it's funny now that a picture comes out of D Rob repping GT, the Golden Domers are all in a frenzy about why GT sucks for WR. Funny thing is we have been in it for a while now. He actually officialed at GT rather than going to Bama or UGA. His mom prefers GT, the kid LOVES the ATL...which is like Shangri La in comparison to South Bend. And he will get a top notch education. I know it sucks you spent $800 in gas hauling that Tractor Trailer down but on the bright side fuels $30 a barrel. If he commits to GT he will get 5-10 touches a game and if he develops will go to the NFL as a slot receiver / return guy. This is clearly more about a small group of Notre Dame fans ego tripping that they can't lose a recruiting battle to lowly GT. Some Notre Dame fans act like they are Gods gift with TD Jesus but Christ ain't brought y'all a ship since 1988. Y'all are as relevant in the football landscape as GT in the categories that matter whether y'all realize it or not.
That was the point I raised earlier in the thread. Some of the Georgia Tech folks here will suggest that Georgia Tech has the ideal offense for the top HS WR in the country---despite Georgia Tech's passing offense ranking 123 out of 127 last season. The only offenses ranking behind Georgia Tech in passing are Navy, Army, Boston College, and Georgia Southern. Yeah, no head-scratcher there; makes complete sense to me.
For the record: if he wants to go to Georgia Tech, that's fine. It's a very good school. If he doesn't pick ND, then I'd rather have him go to Georgia Tech than Alabama or Georgia.

More stupidity from this dolt. I'm sure he'll remind us again how powerful Georgia Tech's passing attack is despite ranking 123 out of 127 last season. Yeah, ND is so irrelevant that he's spending all day on an ND board. Probably too dumb to see the irony of his own behavior here. Yeah, keep spending all your time on an ND board and show us how irrelevant we are.
Remember: arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon---no matter how good you are, the bird is going to crap on the board and strut around like it won anyway.

RECRUITING 5-star Robertson talks GT and plans
I did a little trolling myself at the notre dome site. Quite entertaining...
Post by: terrycomer, Today at 11:49 AM in forum: The Buzz - Members Only
A self-admitted troll that can't spell Notre Dame and posting here about a recruit who might go to GT to please his mama. Good luck with that. Reminds me of Aaron Lynch saga.
Amazing how little we heard from GT fans the week of the Irish/GT game, but here they are during the off-season belly aching about what Irish posters are posting on an Irish board. Good grief!!!
.....Irish trailing Lousiville by seven at the half. Come on Irish!

Thanks for outing this buffoon as a self-proclaimed troll. I suspect that he has posted here under a couple of handles.
You guys are funny. I don't have a handle. I have a name (Terry Comer) so no need to disguise myself like many of you. I'm GT 04. Y'all are so worked up...so excuse me if I take pleasure in your frustrations. I simply dropped some facts about our passing success recruiting Wideouts and then I got crushed by my boy Classic Irish.
Regardless, not sure why y'all don't understand that he's not going to be a wideout in GTs offense. He will be a running back. He will do well at GT just like he would any other school. Hope he commits. The only thing that has changed is Notre Dame fans now realize GT is firmly in the mix. But we always have been; you simply chose to ignore the facts. He actually canceled a Bama trip because he was having so much fun at GT the weekend of NSD. We got the last visit. We have a strong relationship with his mom. Don't act like you guys didn't benefit from Tuitts mom a few years ago. We GT fans are still pissed at that one cuz the kid wanted to stay home. Oh well, I'll leave you to it and maybe I'll stick my head back in when he commits to Notre Dame so Classic Irish can finish off his verbal pile drive on me again!

Just for the record, Demaryius Thomas played WR for GA Tech under Paul Johnson, and he was the 1st WR Drafted that year in the 1st Round (ahead of Dez Bryant), and is now one of the highest paid players in the NFL. In fact, Paul Johnson has put more WR's in the NFL since he's been at GA Tech than many major programs over that same time period (besides Thomas, there's Stephen Hill, Kevin Cone, DeAndre Smelter, and Darren Waller).
I didn't come here to "troll," just share the photo as that was the first correspondence of any kind D-Rob has personally made since his SAT score came out. Also, for those of you who don't know, this photo was taken about a month ago but he chose not to post it until last evening and put the special message on it to his Mother, who has made it clear that she wants him to go to GA Tech. What all of this means, I have no idea.
Again, for me, the Aaron Lynch/Mama saga is still fresh on my mind, so good luck with this kid. Doubt if many posters expect Robertson to go to ND, know I don't. Maybe he can help GT recover from that horrific 3-9 season ya'll had.
By the way, I'm not a guy!
...........and definitely not worked up over several GT posters thoughts on an Irish board.

Worked up? Frustrations? Do you regularly make things up or are you just projecting?
As far as realizing Georgia Tech was in the mix: I never realized Georgia Tech wasn't in the mix. I always assumed they were. He's from Savannah and allegedly interested in academics. Why wouldn't he be interested in Georgia Tech to some degree (despite Tech's 123rd ranked passing offense)? Again, you're just making things up. If you can't see why people would find it a bit odd for the top HS WR to be interested in the 123rd ranked passing offense, then I don't know what else to tell you.
if ND is what you want, and if you do know what you want then you prabably want ND in an obvious way.
I think that pretty much sums this one up.
But apparently none of the suitors is particularly appealing. You have 4 years of HS to prepare for Stanford, if that was your dream; you can't do it in a few months. Bama was rejected once, UGA ? if that was an acceptable choice it would have been a done deal. GT is not a great offense for WR's.
Sounds like the choice will be among 'flawed' options or the choice should have been made.
Maybe a new high bidder will emerge.

Let me get this straight. This kid cant get into Stanford so he runs home to mommy and GT. He will be a real gamer. LOL
Let me start off by saying I'm not here to argue, just giving some insight to a question you asked and some statements you made. First you say ND is better than GT in academics, I agree to some extent, but it's kind of comparing apples to oranges. ND and GT are known for two totally different fields, also GT grads imo have better opportunity because of it being in Atlanta. Now to the Robertson talk, you asked a very simple question "why would a top HS WR want to play at GT" another poster answered by giving names of GT WR'S in the pros, Calvin is a mute argument since he was not under Paul Johnson, you responded by saying you don't care about the pros, which is not even the point, the point is a kid would want to play for GT because they put kids in the NFL, I think that's a pretty simple concept to understand. More reasons a kid might want to play for GT? GT gives the opportunity for WR'S to have one on one match ups, they also teach kids how to block better than most college teams which is great for the pros, they also have a chance to have bigger plays made deep down field. GT had a down year this past year obviously but if you are going to use stats of our passing ranking you might want to do more research. In 2009 GT was ranked 113th and ND was ranked 9th. Yet the difference in recieving yards from our top WR (demaryius Thomas) and yalls (golden Tate) was only 342 yards Thomas averaged 25.1 yards per catch, Tate 16.1, and we see which has had a better carer as a pro. If you go by will fuller compared to Thomas he only had 103 reciving yards more, but he did play one less game (I'm going by fullers stats for this year), and he only averaged around 1.5 more catches than Thomas. When GT Has a big time play maker at WR they get him the ball.all these other teams are ranked so high in passing yards per game, but it really doesn't matter because they are throwing to 4 or 5 guys, when GT is targeting one main guy and that's why we can be ranked so low yet have a guy with numbers that match teams ranked way higher than us. I don't see anyone saying why would he want to play for uga either, yet they were ranked over 100 this year in passing. For what it's worth though Robertson will more than likely get the ball more at GT than any other school because he will be moved around from a back and WR imo. Once again not trying to argue just giving some insight, I have nothin against ND and I actually think yall have some classy fans, I was there for the game this year.
