Welcome to Signing Day on GoJackets.com! (FINAL for today)
In case you haven't experienced coverage with GoJackets.com before....
We will be down at Georgia Tech bringing you live coverage of the happenings. We'll also use this thread to keep you updated as the Letters of Intent show up officially at Georgia Tech. Please try to keep updates restricted to this thread (to minimize confusion).
This year, Signing Day may be full of more intrigue than usual with all the late flips - and I fully expect something to break our way (hey...we're due!).
For those that may wish to watch the happenings live, Ramblinwreck.com has a live stream... http://www.ramblinwreck.com/sp...hq_v=b1c78fb21b
Signees: 1. Travis Custis - Lovejoy HS, Lovejoy, GA (Coach Preston said he is 6-0, 216 lbs right now.)
2. Paul Davis - Cairo HS, Cairo, GA (Coach McCollum said he is about 5-11, 200 lbs. Multi-positional player but will likely be LB or S.)
3. Ty Griffin - McEachern HS, Powder Springs, GA (Coach Bohannon indicated he will start at QB but could play elsewhere - very physical player. He is 6-0, 190 lbs.)
4. Harrison Butker, Westminster HS, Atlanta, GA (Coach Owens said he is also playing soccer and basketball - good athlete. Also, he kicked from the ground this whole year to get ready for college.)
5. John Marvin, Ft Walton Beach HS, Ft Walton Beach, FL (Coach McCollum described him as a multi-positional player. Was highest rated DB in camp. Height is 6-1 - thought he might have size for LB but DB is where he will start.)
6.
6.5 Ricky Jeune, St Joseph Regional HS, Montvale, NJ (Coach Joe Speed said he was 6-3, 200 lbs. Commutes from NY each day to attend this high school.)
7. Antonio Messick, Fayette County HS, Fayetteville, GA (Coach Preston said he also played basketball. Also, he got some late pressure to flip awayCBP said he was 6-3 - didn't give a weight. Reminds CBP of Stephen Hill - glider and goes up and gets the ball with his hands.)
8. Kevin Robbins, Bishop McNamara HS, Forestville, MD (Coach Speed mentioned him as a 2 sport athlete - also plays basketball. Dad played at Mich St and the NFL. Had 15-20 offers from across the country. Could play LB or DE.)
9. Donovan Wilson, Dublin Jerome HS, Dublin, OH (Obviously, Wilson is already enrolled. Coach Dave Walkosky recruited him. Will be an A-back or B-back - will play what we want him to play. Wilson's parents had to move to Texas and he stayed behind to stay with his teammates - lived with a teammate of his. Has a brother at Iowa and there's a younger brother that may be the best of all of them. Broken most of the rushing records at his high school.)
10. Chris Griffin, Wakulla HS, Crawfordville, FL (Coach McCollum described him as mean as hell. Good chance to win heavyweight wrestling championship. Keeps growing and can run.)
11. Justin Akins, Jackson HS, Jackson, GA (Coach Joe Speed saw him while looking at another prospect and Akins pancaked the other guy. Has put on some good weight and has high motor and high intensity. Had about 15 or so offers. He will be a DE but may be able to put on enough weight to move inside.)
12. Darius Commissiong, Bishop McNamara HS, Forestville, MD (Coach Joe Speed says he is 6-2, 300 lbs. Was up to 330 and has lost back down. Got a lot of calls recently to flip away. Recently lost his mother - before Christmas. Has good hands and good weight.)
13. Corey Griffin, Sandy Creek HS, Tyrone, GA (Coach Ted Roof lands his first player following his return. He is 6-2, 195 and runs a 4.5. He is a physical player. He will be at safety.)
14. Shamire Devine, Tri-Cities HS, East Point, GA (Coach Preston said that Devine loved GT from the get-go - very happy with everyone about the school. Played a bit of his senior year with a slight injury - is good to go now. Big and has good footwork. Weighs about 335-345 but doesn't look fat and is every bit of 6-7 in height.)
Coach Johnson indicated that we are done for today but still have 1-2 on the board that we'll know about later.

Custis was first to commit and first to sign. Welcome, Travis.
I also see where Duwop Mitchell has been added back to scout.com's GT commit list as a 'Soft Verbal'. Interesting.

What a whirlwind of emotions Paul Davis must be feeling right now. Good for him. Just a few weeks ago he was on the outside looking in and now he's officially a Jacket - reportedly his dream school. Awesome!!!!

Looks like Davis will be defense and returning punts and KOs. His film shows pretty good vision and speed.
