This is my first post on StingTalk so hello everyone! Long-time member of another board that is struggling for relevance. Anyway, I read in the AJC where Tony Mitchell and other top-echelon recruits took unofficial visits with us this week. Mitchell is a 5 star corner out of Alabama who said the following:
“It was real great because I hadn’t seen (Tech’s coaches) in forever,” Mitchell told the AJC at the end of his visit. “It was great to see their faces again, get to speak to them in person instead of over the phone.”
The article went on to say:
Mitchell said he wanted to show his love for Yellow Jackets coaches, as they were among the first to make a scholarship when he was still in eighth grade in the spring of 2019.
Others making visits included Malik Bryant, a five-star edge rusher in the 2023 class from Orlando, Fla.; Payton Kirkland, a four-star rising-junior offensive tackle, also from Orlando; and a pair of rising-senior offensive linemen from Milton High, Maurice Clipper and Brandon Best.
It appears that the long-term relationship building strategy by this staff is providing inroads into higher and higher rated recruits each year.
