It’s become a popular point of debate, over the past year or so, to list the four names from a sport or team that would comprise the Mount Rushmore monument for that group. With LeBron James naming his Rushmore of the NBA (Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and Oscar Robertson), it has become even more fashionable.
Not being a group to ignore such mad fashion, the staff here at YellowJackedUp.com has decided to chip in with our version of who we believe the Mount Rushmore of Georgia Tech would include.
Although the college basketball season is still in full swing, with March Madness about to descend upon us, the time for recruiting never ends, especially for Georgia Tech, who will have a number of needs to fill in 2014-15. One of the ESPN100 recruits who remains uncommitted has Georgia Tech on his short list, and that’s 7-foot-2 center, Anas Osama Mahmoud.
Mahmoud, out of West Oaks Academy in Orlando, Fl., is one of the more well-known recruits in the nation who has still yet to decide on a school for next year.
If there is one area in the 2015 recruiting class that Georgia Tech head coach Paul Johnson will probably need to focus on, it will more than likely be at linebacker. The Yellow Jackets already have some potential targets at the position, but this past weekend they were paid a visit by a potential 5-star prospect, Roquan Smith.

It was a pretty successful 2014 for Georgia Tech recruiting, with 21 players signing Letters of Intent to come play on the Flats next season. Hoping to build on that success and to get more and more top line prospects looking towards Atlanta, head coach Paul Johnson has already started on 2015′s prospects.
The Yellow Jackets stocked themselves up at the offensive line position in 2014, as well as finding a bevvy of young defensive backs to help improve a pretty shaky pass defense.
Conference-jumping. It used to be a not-so-common thing. Teams played in the conferences that were in direct relationship to their geographic location. The last time Georgia Tech decided to jump ship and move to another conference was when they left the SEC in 1963. Could it be time for another such move?
Most recently, there has been a huge turnover in both the ACC and the former Big East, which is now…
For all the bad that has happened to Georgia Tech (13-12, 4-8 ACC) this season, at the very least there has been Daniel Miller. The big redshirt senior center was the Yellow Jackets’ main weapon, putting up 13 first-half points on the way to an 18-point game in a 74-71 win over the Boston College Eagles (6-18, 2-9 ACC).
There wasn’t a lot of national interest in the Georgia Tech–Boston College men’s basketball game played on Thursday night in Atlanta. Between the snow postponement, and the fact that you had two teams near the bottom of the ACC playing, it just wasn’t supposed to be must-see TV.
National Signing Day was just a week ago, but that doesn’t mean is isn’t to soon to start talking about who Paul Johnson and his staff need to look at closely for next year’s class. There will be some needs to address next season for the Georgia Tech recruiting staff, and since the recruiting job is never-ending, it’s best to start looking now.
There will be several top running backs leaving the Flats after next season (B.J. Bostic, Synjyn Days and Charles Perkins among others), as well as…
You’d think after having the second biggest recruiting class of his tenure, and getting a nationally ranked athlete as well as a highly sought-after JUCO transfer, Georgia Tech head football coach Paul Johnson would think everything was just sunshine and roses in the college football recruiting world.
However, a recent interview with Atlanta Jounral-Constitution recruiting reporter Michael Carvell paints a completely different picture…
It’s always fun to talk about your rival. Whether your team was on the winning or losing end of the most recent game doesn’t matter, what matters is coming up with the best zinger to insult and humiliate your foes. This tactic has never been more evident than in the long-standing, ugly, and venomous rivalry between Georgia and Georgia Tech.
