Georgia Tech is still holding out for switching Stephon Tuitt on Signing Day but those hopes are waning by the day.

The Yellow Jackets met with Tuitt this past week for their final visit before he heads off to Austin, Texas to play in a high school all star game. Irish coaches were in Monroe earlier this week.

Notre Dame fans may have gotten a little nervous when news leaked that Tuitt would not sign his Letter of Intent until this Friday.

But according to Irish Illustrated Tuitt says he will send it in from Austin. Of course, he has to have his mother's signature on the LOI as Tech fans know very well. No word if his mother is traveling to Austin with him or signing it before.

Either way, it seems odd for Tuitt to be playing in another all star game but when you find out that two other Irish commits are playing in it it should be no surprise.

Notre Dame coaches (and Tuitt's mom) likely wanted him surrounded by future teammates in Texas rather than being just 45 minutes from Georgia Tech's campus where he has visited many times.
