STARS OF 2008:

DT Vance Walker -- Walker had 14 tackles for loss in starting all 13 games for the Yellow Jackets last season. They included 8.5 sacks.

DT Darryl Richard -- Richard combines with Walker to give the Jackets solidarity up front. He had 11.5 tackles for loss, 4.4 of them sacks.

S Morgan Burnett -- Burnett, who had one start as a freshman last season, is Tech's top returning tackler. He had 57 stops and led the Jackets in interceptions with three.

OT Andrew Gardner -- Gardner was an All-ACC selection in 2007. He has 39 career starts.

TOP NEWCOMERS

OT Clyde Yandell -- A redshirt freshman, Yandell (6-5, 305) looks to fill one of the holes in the offensive line.

SB Roddy Jones -- Some returnees may not like the shift in offensive scheme to the triple option, but Jones, a redshirt freshman, should fit right in at slot back.

OL Omoregie Uzzi -- Uzzi is considered the top catch among this year's signing class.

QB Jaybo Shaw -- With Tech down to two quarterbacks with any playing time, Shaw could move into a key backup role as a true freshman.

ROSTER REPORT

--LB Shane Bowen is the only Yellow Jacket sitting out spring practice. Bowen is recovering from shoulder surgery. He started 10 games last season.

  I think that the GT board has the lowest amount of threads and doesn't even have any polls. Whats the deal with that? Not enough PC knowledged GT fans?

Wow just saw on ESPN Marcus Ball, Reggie Ball's little bro was released from his scholarship at Florida State.  Not sure of the reason why??? but he was one off the players who was caught in the cheating scandal a few months ago.  I truly believe GT dodged a bullet here by missing on this kid.

I was very surprised to see both Oliver and Robertson not get drafted. A little surprised to see Guyton get picked considering some of the other OLB that did get picked up.

Congrats to Wheeler, Choice and Brooks.

Paul Johnson says that the Jackets will wear the traditional uniforms for home games this year: White Jerseys / Gold Pants.

Tech is one of the few schools in the nation that elects to wear light-colored jerseys for their home games -- LSU is one of the exceptions. I can't think of any others in college football.

I personally like the tradtion, but certainly enjoyed when Tech broke out ...(more)

We are losing players and recruits left and right.

From the AJC:

"Donley is one of several players who either left Tech or chose not to sign after the coaching change. Starting quarterback Taylor Bennett has said he will transfer after he graduates in May. Scottsdale, Ariz., high school quarterback Sean Renfree and Henry

So what are people's thoughts on the Jackets for 2008?

I think we will struggle to get to our traditional 7 wins that we seem to always have under Gailey.  Just feel like there is too much change to come out winning the tough games.

Coach Johnson wouldn't have to recruit too early to get his offence in place. Nebsitt should be able to run the option. We've already seen what Dwyer can do. I'm not sure who would be the other back.

I have no idea if Tech lands Johnson, but it's interesting to discuss.
