How did GA Tech let this guy get away? I live less than a mile fromTucker H.S.; Tucker is about 15 to 20 minutes from GA Tech's main campus. Maybe the guy wanted to get away from home and avoid the pressure of playing for the home team and put some room between him and some of his homeboys. Which in today's college athlete's climate, might not be a bad idea.

Be leery when you read AJC articles about Georgia Tech. The paper is so severely slanted to be pro-UGAg that you never get the whole story. Mr. Atkins was interested in Georgia Tech and Marquette, but that does not mean those schools wanted him. What the AJC didn't bother to add is that Atkins never had an offer from GT to consider.
