Re: Funny he said...
It's nice to see Chan updating us on his views of the recruiting class and position changes. I'd much prefer it coming from the actual source (if its actually Chan writing the words). OTOH, if it's CHAN actually writing the words, the gaffs and typos (not to mention the convoluted list) don't encourage confidence.
Fortunately, this recruiting class appears to be a good one for the DL and OL, though outsiders see it as middle-of-the-pack by comparison with our competitors.
Hopefully, Chan et al will stay on top of the academic situation and keep the SA's focused on the books between now and late August.

Re: Odd that you would make a big deal out of grammar.
Aw, shucks. Do you write the updates on Chan's web site?
Heck, typos etc., don't bother me either, on posts such as these. However, if I'm writing for my web site that is an official reflection of me (and unofficially, of GT), then things like typos, the convoluted list of recruits and the reference to "draft" begin to make a less-than-wonderful impression.
If your delicate sensibilities were wounded in any way, I'm forever aggrieved.
BTW, I had a typo in my post, too.

That's hardly throwing stones.
I also wonder if Chan sends his own messages out; and if not, who does.

Re: I like this comment....
The guy is a professional and he is selling superior academics as part of our program.
The grammar should be correct. Period.
I expect him to be intelligent and articulate in his written announcements because he is at GT. He can do his part in crayon and pictures for all I care. He just needs a person to make it look ok for discerning eyes before it is released.
I promise Mark Richt doesn't release bad grammar in a public release, and his is going to a bunch of people who wouldn't even notice anyway.
Chan can write any old crap he wants, and then get a responsible person to clean it up. That's all there is to it. It needs to be done.
To be clear. I don't expect Chan to spend his days and nights on proper spelling and puncuation, but I do expect it to *seem* that way to Joe Superstar or his mom.
The guy is in charge of a MULTI MILLION dollar program here. He is a professional. He is the CEO. The school is judged by him, arguably, more than any other person, by most of the population.
Coaching football should be his first priority, but bad English, written for public release, is not ok, especially in light of our recent academic issues.
All it takes is a student to be paid a few extra bucks. It's too easy to correct, to not be correct.

Re: O, I forgive him
When Bill Curry was the coach, I brought my family to visit him. He had award and congratulatory plaques on the wall from various GT clubs and GT civic honchos. Nearly all of them had grammatical errors engraved in the message. My sons remarked that the other GT grads could not do any better than I could. I explained that it is the GT mystique. Give me a slide rule and a math or mechanical or electronic problem and I could knock it out. Give me a paragraph to rite, and somehow I goof it up.
