Georgia Tech defensive back Jalen Johnson was arrested on campus Sunday on a charge of simple battery.

  The sophomore was released from the Fulton County jail later Sunday on a $5,000 bond.
 "I think I would urge everybody to let all the facts come in and let the investigation unfold and then we'll make an appropriate statement and an appropriate action," Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson said, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "But guys are innocent until proven guilty. Just because it happened doesn't mean they're always guilty, so let's let the facts play out."
  Johnson said that he didn't take immediate action because "I'm not sure this is going to be an issue when it all plays out," according to the newspaper.
  This school also issued an official statement.
  "Jalen Johnson is a member of the Georgia Tech football team," the school said. "The Georgia Institute of Technology does not discuss ongoing investigations."
  Johnson has played in all eight of the Yellow Jackets' games this season, mostly on special teams, and has been credited with five tackles.

    Josh Okogie grew up surrounded by soccer yet looks like a football player, Christian Matthews says he derived "physicality" from playing football, and Justin Moore played football until getting thumped.

  Georgia Tech's three freshmen are now full-time hoopsters, and head coach Josh Pastner says they have plenty of basketball nuance to learn.
  It's not like they're new to the sport, and all of them may contribute this season, but they're still in the research and development stage  and inclined in their own ways to approach the game brutishly.
 When the Yellow Jackets tip off for real Nov. 11 against

	Freshman Guard Josh Okogie

Tennessee Tech McCamish Pavilion, Pastner will look for more touch from this trio. It seems at times in practice that they're trying to do too much.
  "Yes, and that's why I go back to keeping it simple," Pastner said. "They hurt themselves when they try to hit the home run, hit the triple. They've just got to hit singles."
  In talking to Tech's newbies, their confidence is evident. Ask them to preview their game styles for fans, and they don't sound like freshmen. It's interesting how they see themselves vs. how Pastner sees them.
  Let's go point-counter point.
  With a shot that can be silky, Matthews sounds ready to snipe.
  He committed to Tech after being recruited by former coach Brian Gregory, and stuck with his pledge after Pastner was hired partly because his high school teammate at National Christian Academy in Ft. Washington, Md., Sylvester Ogbonda, is a redshirt freshman.  

  The 6-foot-7 guard appears to believe he's a better fit now than before, especially since he's muscled up to 210 pounds from 190.
  "My style of play is fast, up-tempo, and I like to score from all areas of the court: the paint, mid-range and 3," Matthews said. "It's a big part because it also opens up drives. If [defenders] don't close out, I can put it up."
  Pastner might say hmmmmm.
  "When he's open, he's got to make shots," the coach said. "He's got to have good shot selection. I think that's very important. He as well has to be a really good offensive rebounder. For him to find time on the floor for us this year, he's got to be a great rebounder."

	Matt Harpring, Georgia Tech (1994-98)

 Former Georgia Tech stars Keith Brooking (football) and Matt Harpring (men's basketball) are among eight athletes and coaches that were selected for induction to the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame on Wednesday, October 26.
 Brooking played linebacker at Georgia Tech from 1994-97 and remains the leading tackler in program history with 467 career stops. The Sharpsburg, Ga. native also owns the sixth- and seventh-highest single-season tackle totals in Tech history with 147 as a junior in 1996 and 146 as a sophomore in 1995. He led the Yellow Jackets in tackles in each of his final three seasons and made 34-consecutive starts to close out his collegiate career.
  Brooking was selected by the Atlanta Falcons with the 12th overall pick in the 1998 National Football League Draft and became a fixture on the Falcons' defense for 11 seasons. He helped lead the Falcons to the only Super Bowl appearance in franchise history as a rookie in 1998, appeared in five Pro Bowls and was named one of the 20 best players in team history by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He capped his 15-year professional career with the Dallas Cowboys (2009-11) and Denver Broncos (2012) and finished with 1,434 tackles in 225 NFL games.
 Harpring, an Atlanta native, was named Georgia's Mr. Basketball as a high-school senior at Marist School in 1994. At Georgia Tech, he was a four-year starter (1994-98) and a three-time all-conference selection, joining Mark Price as the only Yellow Jackets to earn first-team all-ACC accolades three times. He finished his collegiate career as the second-leading scorer (2,225 points) and rebounder (997) in program history (he still remains Tech's No. 2 all-time scorer and ranks No. 3 in rebounds). He was a third-team Associated Press All-American and an academic All-American as a senior in 1998.
  "When he's open, he's got to make shots," the coach said. "He's got to have good shot selection. I think that's very important. He as well has to be a really good offensive rebounder. For him to find time on the floor for us this year, he's got to be a great rebounder."
