GEORGIA TECH
Tech lost six more players to academic ineligibility. Among those players (on the two-deep) are:DT Alfred Malone, LB Sterling Green, OT Reggie Koon and WR LeKeldrick Bridges.

Head Coach Chan Gailey announced that 2001 All-American DE Greg Gathers, has yet to be cleared for full-contact drills due to a kidney ailment that signed him last fall.

HOUSTON
QB Nick Eddy, who had a solid spring and could have been the top signal-callers in Conference USA this year, will sit out the 2003 season due to academics.

LOUISVILLE
CB Laroni Gallishaw and WR Dontay Spillman have been dismissed from the team for failing to meet specific guidelines set by the school. The Cards lose CB Laroni Gallishaw but leftover Josh Minkins has potential. He comes back as the team leader in INTs, but only had two. This partially speaks of how weak UL's pass defense was a year ago. J.T. Haskins will team with Minkins to give the Cards two honest corners.
