Game Over in Statesboro

The folks in Statesboro should no longer be very nervous, they should be just plain scared.


From the Macon Telegraph article:
Hatcher spoke for approximately 30 minutes on Oct. 26 at the Atlanta Touchdown Club, and he discussed recruiting and how there were more schools recruiting Georgia in particular. He also lauded Georgia Southern as being a great school academically and spoke highly of Statesboro as a place to live.

That all went by the wayside when he was asked if Georgia State’s starting a football program would impact the Eagles’ recruiting.

“A good bit ... from them and the other Division I schools I mentioned and South Alabama,” Hatcher said. “They’re really racking up. There are more people out there trying to go after the same pool of players, and that makes it very difficult.” [As Atlanta's own Outkast said, "If you scared, say you scared."]

Hatcher may have been fine if he had stopped there, but he added to his answer.

“And at Georgia Southern we have a higher standard of admissions than the regular NCAA requirement,” Hatcher said. “To get guys in school (at Georgia Southern), you have to have a 1,000 (on the SAT) to just get in school, and for our football program, you actually need a 920 so that limits the pool a little bit from the 820 test score the NCAA requires.” [Excuses. Blaming academics at Fake GSU is absolutely laughable]

Oh yeah Chris Hatcher was fired yesterday. So much for being the football superpower. Yawn.
