Paul Johnson, Scholarship Offers & Official Visits : ITB’s Recruiting Commentary
Posted By Admin on January 30, 2012
Much has been made of Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson’s unique recruiting philosophy with regards to commitments and official visits. Simply put the man doesn’t want his commits to take visits to other schools once they commit to the Yellow Jackets. However, with his policy and the recent push from folks who are in favor of an early signing period all sort of coming into the discussion recently there are a lot of thoughts and opinions and information being discussed. Figured that with signing day coming up and folks still getting butthurt over recruiting decisions it was time for a bit more recruit thoughts from the kid.
First the definitives; I’m not a fan of Paul Johnson’s policy.
I am not even remotely a fan of the Paul Johnson method. Not in the slightest. Not a bit. None. I think it is an archaic policy that attempts to wrest power from the student athlete, place it in the hands of the program and force a static value on a fluid situation.
Archaic. Antiquated. Old school. No longer current. Outdated. That’s the first thing that comes to mind here. The no playsheet, relay plays in through quarterback and substitutions style is a thing of the past for Paul Johnson and so too is this recruiting hardline. This is about a power play, making your job easier and avoiding as many of the recruiting battles that other schools are engaged in up until and beyond signing day.
