Calvin Johnson Goes Pro

UPDATE: Thankfully, I am wrong. Calvin Johnson is turning pro, thereby robbing Paul Oliver of another chance to increase his draft status by shutting him down. Johnson goes down as easily the biggest recruiting miss of the Mark Richt era, but one that did not turn out to get us beat. Thank Reggie Ball for that.

The BEST RECEIVER EVER, if you listen to Nerds, is scheduled to announce his intentions for next year at a press conference this morning at Georgia Tech. My hunch is that he stays, although he has absolutely no reason to do so. He will be a top 5 pick in the draft and therefore be entitled to millions, but Momma is big on education. Any huge prospect that picks Tech over UGA because they want to be an engineer is academically focused. We'll know in a few minutes.
