He’s come to fellate it. And so you don’t have to waste your time reading his kiss-assery — honestly, the more praise in that direction, the merrier, as far as I’m concerned — just catch the lazy, reflexive nip he takes at Georgia:
Station Kirby Smart at a school where calculus is a requirement and see how many 5-stars he signs.
Yeah, put the genius some place where his warm and fuzzy personality wouldn’t be handicapped by those damned academics and watch the magic begin.
“Johnson’s .300 winning percentage against the Bulldogs mightn’t sound like much, but it trumps the .230 clip that endured from 1978 until his arrival.”

Did they have to take calculus at Navy? I dont remember him going to the rose bowl there either?

Navy was the perfect school for Johnson. Johnson’s scheme helps mitigate the talent deficit his teams face. At Navy, kids aren’t looking for a conduit to the NFL, so his recruiting skills aren’t as much of a hindrance.
Unfortunately for him, he’s now at a P5 school where recruiting matters. You can’t sell a kid to go to Tech for his country. Frankly, Afghanistan may look like the better option to some high school kids.

Is anyone sure that Bradley doesn’t post on stingtalk under the moniker GeniusLover or something like that? Fish Fry couldn’t recruit 5-stars to play for him in Athens, Tuscaloosa, Auburn, Gainesville, Clemson, or anywhere else for that matter with that high school/service academy offense of his.
I wonder if Joe Hamilton took calculus …

Joe Ham is on 680 every now and then. He came right out and said if you’re NCAA eligible you can get into Tech and have no issue remaining at Tech. He said they’re just like every other school.

A friend from my high school class was once a student at the University of Virginia. He told me a story about a calculus class he took there. It seems that, on the first day of class, the professor announced, “You may have heard that in the School of Education there is a course called ‘calculus made easy’. This is calculus made hard.” He assured me it was.

Truthfully, every significant D1 school is guilty of fudging/cheating. Stanford at least requires the athlete to be admitted before offering a scholly. Until students are admitted with the admissions group only having the academic record and a SS#, there will be some playing around with admissions. Until then, only the service academies have a true disadvantage in attracting athletes, and they deserve our respect.
Wasn’t it GT who had athletes take courses at other Atlanta area schools, and also had years of penalties for academic cheating and had to vacate wins? Bradley is as dumb as the remainder of the AJC staff. What about Johnson’s personality makes him think he would be a great recruiter for any school, under any circumstances?

But if Fish Fry’s recruiting gets any worse he will just be begging kids around campus to sign. So that comment won’t hurt and in fact knowing he is leaving sooner might be a bonus.
