HOW MANY DAYS
TILL
UGA vs UNC?
Gulfdawg Yes, many are not immediately commitable
I think I have finally fixed the recruiting hot board page, but I had to do some recoding. If I did leave off anybody, just let me know. It should be up-to-date as of now.
Gulfdawg Hello Gulldawg. Thanks for reading and dropping in to comment.
There are different strategies and philosophies when it comes to college football recruiting, but the basic gist of it is, that college football programs, like NFL franchises, identify current needs on the roster and do their best to manage the roster so that there is adequate depth at each position group from season to season.
The coaching staff and people involved in scouting and recruiting in the administrative role then identify prospective student-athletes that can help fill a need or role in the program and will then send out a scholarship offer at some point during the recruiting process.
As you stated, the coaching staff knows that it cannot sign everybody, the NCAA limits programs to taking 25 scholarship players per year with some exceptions and a maximum of 85 scholarships on the roster, but it is an idea of percentages. For example, if a program offers 10 to 15 kids, who they think are the best prospects at a position group and they think they can recruit well enough to have a chance at signing, they know that they will either be able to sign only 1/3 of those offers (or less) or that they maybe only successful in recruiting 1/3 of them.
Sometimes offers are made as a recruiting tool to get in good with a school and the coaching staff at a high school so that the University creates a pipeline to a high school program or area.
Of course, when there are more offers than scholarships, that does mean that usually someone will get “left out” or told to look elsewhere. That part of the process is one of the “uglier” aspects of college football recruiting. However, good players will usually land on their feet with the number of FBS and FCS programs out there.
Gulfdawg my guess is they are giving offers based on if they get situations settled
Hi guys. I am a regular reader. Thanks for all the work that goes into maintenance and gathering info. I have a question that might show my ignorance. It seems that we have made a ton of offers. Is it safe to assume that some (or many) of thse are not commitable at this point? How does this work? Thanks.
Really stoked to get Trey Blount! We’re gunna get ours!
Chuba has special skills. Not sure his level of competition is very high, but the kid has great moves, speed and vision!
Good Luck D Rob! And thanks for going out west. Not because I don’t want to go against you, but just didn’t want anyone else in the SEC to have you.
Indeed they did. Had some injuries / sickness that they had to work around as well
Diamond Dawgs may be struggling, but Georgia softball team put a whooping on Ole Miss this weekend and took the series.

Diamonddawgs get swept by Vandy today. BAD!
MidtownTeacher Thank you for understanding, but please understand it’s not my rule. That would be Greg Poole’s guidelines he sat down long ago, even from the Leather Helmet Blog days. I just do my best to make sure the site runs the way he wants it to; although, I happen to agree with him. Sports and politics just not mash well.
Hobnailboot aka RobG I watched Chuba’s highlights and he looks really good. Those defenses look pretty bad to me also.
Joe Dawg Yes. Jacoby and Tony should both be on the hot board unless the ‘ye ‘ole code is bugging out again. I’ll check out it out and give her a kick and shake if they are not. Thanks.
Hey BB2 shouldn’t we have Tony Gray and Jacoby Stevens on the Hot Board? Sure would be two nice additions to the next class!
Just take all of the points from my total, no sense in everyone bothering to resolve it, ###
Bulldawg36 I think that that really about sums it up. Don’t know what the family dynamics are but if he wanted to be far away to get his life really together, and on his own terms, that’s great. What I didn’t much care for was how long this went on. It seems, but we’ll never know, that Cali was out there and it’s what he wanted all along. Quite a few UGA players and potential recruits “somehow” felt pretty strongly that he was definitely coming here. I certainly got this strong impression from the fellow I spoke to last Thursday night. I’m not saying that he personally misled folks, but a silent auditorium and disappointed UGA athletes and potential athletes sure went away mystified.
But sobeit.
BTW, I won the YOLO, ya’ll owe me 2000 points.
Bulldawg36 Agree
Hobnailboot aka RobG RumRunnerDoogie Bulldawg Bob2 DawgByte nothing like a tackler apologizing after hitting u#
DawgByte dawgmum Yeah, but like 11 of them are 3-stars, seriously.
RumRunnerDoogie Bulldawg Bob2 DawgByte Hobnailboot aka RobG he is definitely playing against lesser competition his HS #
in respect for bulldog Bob’s wishes for thus forum, i will refrain from political comments. however, i don’t see politics being as big a factor in college as it is for older guys like us and Berkeley doesn’t breathe as much liberalism as you fear. intellectual yes, but liberal, i haven’t seen it in my interactions with students which have been numerous.
This is what I say!
Folks getting upset over decision of where an 18 year old choses to attend college will have many days of unrest. Business owners get jilted daily.
Give your best and move forward to the next client.
He sure is.
Put hardman at WR! I think he is tad faster than D-rob!
He smoked em!!!!!
Bulldawg Bob2 DawgByte Hobnailboot aka RobG canadian…smh
Here’s the answer to our speed at WR! I like this kid with the ball in his hands.
How about loon then#
DawgByte Hobnailboot aka RobG Hahaha. Aye. Love that kid’s name. CHUBA!!!!!!!!
rugbydawg79 I have no way to verify this other than calling it a gut hunch, but I think he is really enamored with West Coast living and felt like that, plus a good academic institution, plus a decent football team was more than enough to overcome playing with a potentially great QB (be it Eason or Fromm), playing with other good friends/colleagues who he has met during the recruiting process, and being close to friends/family and going to school with his sister. I respect that the young man is chasing a dream rather than making a comfortable/easy choice and living to regret it later. I hope he does great and wish him nothing but the best. It would have been great watching him play in the Red & Black, but ultimately it’s his decision on what he feels is best for him, and I respect that.
Bulldawg Bob2 DawgByte rugbydawg79 roger…
Bulldawg Bob2 rugbydawg79 sorry BB2 you can delete if possible I understand – I just know a lot of kids with a 4.0 that can’t get in UGA
Hobnailboot aka RobG Agree… we need another Chubbanator in the house! Boy’s got some mad skills!
DawgByte rugbydawg79 Let’s ease off on comments that are leaning towards the beginnings of bashing a teenager for choosing where to go to school. This will go in the wrong direction fast.
D-Rob made his decision. Let’s not start insinuating he could possibly be a bust or nit pick whether he made the right choice or not. It was his choice. Not mine, not yours, not any other fans’.
If I am coming on strong here, it is because I want to nip in the bud and parents read our magazine and website.
So what is the story on that Hubbard kid, his highlight are impressive, looks like a burner
Jay212033 That would be a shot in the arm to this recruiting class. We are in dire need for a monster in the middle.
rugbydawg79 I felt the same way. My brother and I have gone round and round about Cal. He lives in San Diego and thinks Cal is a great academic institution. I once saw like a 60 Minutes story on Cal and how most Freshmen have to sit in very large auditoriums and have TA’s that barely speak English. I realize every school has a bit of that, but my takeaway from the story is that it’s exceptionally bad at Cal.
We have a fine academic institution and it is getting better every year. It’s come a long way and that’s positive. One kid deciding not to come to Georgia is no big deal. Lets see how this kid performs once he gets out there. 5 star bust? I guess we’ll find out.
Greg Poole If I was a gambler I would be all over the UNC game – I have a feeling we will destroy them.
I saw your earlier post with a score prediction from Vegas – that will change.
Bulldawg Bob2 rugbydawg79 IMO it’s a slap in his dictator of a brother’s face
https://twitter.com/iiAm_Mesho/status/726886356060872705
rugbydawg79 Yes. D-Rob qualifies for Georgia even as a non-student-athlete. I don’t know why you feel like D-Rob choosing to go to Cal is a slap in your face or any other UGA alum’s / graduate’s face in regards to Georgia’s athletics.
People choose to commit to other schools over Georgia all the time for a number of different reasons.
Man I hope Nate McBride commits soon that kid is an absolute MONSTER on the field!
My big question – and I realize this is probably not PC -could Demetris Robertson get into UGA if he was not a Football player ? I just want to know after I feel like my School has been slapped in the face Academics wise – as a graduate I admit I could not get in now – however nationwide folks thinking he picked Cal over UGA because they are so much better – bothers me – I hope he is happy, gets away from his brother and does well.
RumRunnerDoogie DawgByte dawgmum We are the highest ranked SEC thus far. Although Bama, who is right behind us has 2 Five Star recruits.
Greg Poole I like the size of Blount – 6’3″ with speed and very good athleticism.
Greg Poole I’m smelling a vast conspiracy.
DawgByte dawgmum waitin on gibbs 🙂
DawgByte MidtownTeacher That is why you’d have to have a gun pointed at me to get me to move to California and even then I’d think long and had about it
He just wanted to leave state..bottom line. He loved Stanford but had to settle for his 2bd choice
Hope that happens soon. He had great things to say about Eason after G day
dawgmum
1. Ohio St.
2. Oklahoma
3. Miami
4. Notre Dame
5. UGA
Miami already has 15 verbals. Richt is a recruiting machine.
https://twitter.com/KirbySmartUGA/status/726881962435174400
Class of ’17 is now ranked #5. Movin’ on up!
Bulldawg36 I would also like to see us pickup Holloman.
Greg Poole Last night I had dinner with a Bama fan. We talked extensively about football. He said Kirby was THE recruiter on Saban’s staff and will be tireless in his pursuit of top talent in the state of Georgia. He thought it was a very good hire for UGA and hated to see him go.
Heck yeah- he is a good WR. Him and Tyler Simmons are our future!!!!!
MidtownTeacher It’s also one of, if not THE most liberal colleges in America. If that floats your boat then it certainly is a mecca for that type of thinking.
Greg Poole You called it the other day. Gotta give you your props.
This staff gets managing fanbase expectations and sentiment. The only thing missing at this point is winning football games. If you think they will leave one single detail of a gameplan to chance, you are missing the point of Smart’s time under Saban.
Bulldawg Bob2 RobDawg do it! do it! do it!
Bulldawg36 Trey Blount is in the house!!! Nice pick-up for the Dawgs.
RobDawg Time to pop open a cold one? …… Just kidding. LOL. Couldn’t resist. 🙂
I couldn’t stay away!!! I’m back baby!! Trey Blount baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I see a few folks further down asking why Cal?
I used to live in Georgia and a couple years ago I moved out to California. I live across the bay from Berkeley in Marin County.
I think we all feel affinity to what we know and where we grow up. I loved running through the woods growing up in Georgia as a kid.
However, now that I live out here, I have discovered how amazing somewhere can be. It has opened my eyes.
Specifically in regards to Cal-Berkeley. It has one of the top 10 ranked business programs in the country. UGA is good, but not at the same level. Second, while Athens is a great college town, it is a great southern college town. Berkeley has more interesting things about it, a different vibe. It feels global and at the cutting edge. Athens is comfortable and sleepy. Of course Athens can be crazy at night, but I am talking about layout and feel of the towns, the types of restaurants, the people you see on the streets, etc. DRob seems more open minded, more of a thinker and I think Berkeley is a good fit. In terms of football, UGA would have been great, especially with Eason, but the Pac10 throws the ball around a lot and DRob would be fine on either team.
Anyway, I hope this helps give a bit on insight into some of the good things about Berkeley.
Hobnailboot aka RobG DawgLink lol
DawgLink what’s this lune you speak of?
Win and recruits lune up to come
The UGA recruiting engine is just getting started. There will be some misses but the only thing that will slow it is if the group in Athens can not coach.
UGA Commit: Trey Blount | Bulldawg Illustrated
http://bulldawgillustrated.com/uga-commit-trey-blount/
Greg Poole I believe it was all part of a beautiful plan.
Everyone who thinks the Blunt commit just happened to come today raise your paw.
That’s treymendous news!
See above
RobDawg key to success probably
https://twitter.com/trey_blount/status/726878939596111872
So for me who is less than up on all the Twitter symbols, what does the picture of the key mean in Poole’s message?
Trey Blount, new commit!
It’s after 5 Bob…

Is there not a double header today, or is this it?
Greg Poole drob is already flipping?!!?!?###
Bob may be posting something shortly after 5.
Devil’s Advocate, some were saying he was not an automatic take, based on others we’re recruiting hard.

5 o’clock is coming.
After William Poole’s tweet earlier I will throw a guess out there, we land Stephen Guidry, he just de-committed rom USCe and is a teammmate of Wims
BahitsDawg I think it is over with DRob, I hate we missed on that talent but I am beyond tired of the drama.
BahitsDawg Bansai buckeroo I really kinda liked it myself, but I am sorta crazy too.
Bulldawg Bob2 Good thing IMO, haha.
Thank you, thank you very much…..
@Bulldawg Bob2….. Reminds me of a “C” programming class I took many years ago when I worked for Honeywell. They brought a guy in from Milan, Italy to teach the class. His accent was so thick I thought I was going to lose my mind. By the time I figured out what he had just said, he was on to something new…. I don’t know what they were thinking…haha
Hobnailboot aka RobG To cold for me but I talked with some guys from PA who were catching some.
Check out @UGASoftball’s Tweet: https://twitter.com/UGASoftball/status/726854108901195776?s=09
Bulldawg Bob2 BahitsDawg RobDawg if he was he picked a bad location to announce
Greg Poole how many fish did you catch?
Most of the flagship state universities have those large auditorium lecture classes for the core studies, and most have a GA running the show for the professor.
My Statistics 101 class freshman year at UGA had 300 and a GA from Korea with a heavy accent giving the lecture.

RumRunnerDoogie Correct. Lots of DeRob de-recruiting will need to take place.
If you read Huck’s column the other day we’re fine at WR and who knows maybe Hardman gets a few touches on O. Good luck to DRob in nutterville. Wait until he gets in one of many Cal auditorium classrooms with a TA that barely speaks English!

BahitsDawg Backwudz Bulldawg Bob2 accidents do happen all the time in the gym but if something was to happen like a shoulder gives out being that he’s that size he can roll one side of 45 lbs plates onto the floor, plus its a person in the room. Almost everybody who works out on a regular basis does rep weights at home with no spotter. I’m to cheap to get a gym membership since it was free in the military so I do it daily to be honest. I wouldn’t recommend him to try and max out alone or anything crazy like that…lol
BahitsDawg Bulldawg Bob2 Looking around the net, some people say it is a hoax and some say it isn’t, but I cannot find anyone that carries it. Be great for parties
Greg Poole
I prefer “I’m in the Mood for Love”
RobDawg I said it once or twice before… moved on a long time ago. I’m actually glad that he didn’t ink with UGA. I smelled a prima donna from day 1.
Bansai buckeroo somebody wasn’t happy with his decision.
Greg Poole ZippyMorocco BahitsDawg Bulldawg Bob2 RobDawg He might be back, or he might not even go. If he doesn’t sign a scholarship, does he fall under the transfer rules?

Someone started a GOFUNDME account for Cleveland’s draft victims
deltonadawg Brooklyndawg
UGA is a Public Ivy, and a top 20 Public school. I guess perception is reality.
Some comedian once said, thr only worse city to be in than Philly, is Cleveland
BahitsDawg Bulldawg Bob2 RobDawg
They don’t attend games either.
Bulldawg Bob2 Maybe, that is how we should do our executions?
They’re Mad Dawg angry over the DRob thing, after the ‘Ol Miss dirty revelations!!!
RobDawg Here you go RobDawg
https://twitter.com/11AliveSports/status/726842150701420548
Brooklyndawg LOL
Meh….I take Cleveland’s analytical powers with a big grain, of salt. Exhibit #1, Manziel
Brooklyndawg Yep he made the decision to help his future at a great academic school. I have no problem with that. Would liked to have had him at UGA but we will be fine with the kids we have.
@Backwudz….I agree with you…..he knows what he can handle…he wasn’t struggling at all with that weight…the fact his form was so good tells me that was a fairly easy weight for him.
Hehehe… Like what Ricardo Louis from Auburn had to say after being drafted by Browns. Can’t be good for future WR recruiting there under ole Gus
“I would say that the Browns saw things from me that other teams didn’t see. They understand that I was in a scheme at Auburn that didn’t require me to run very many routes, very diverse or complex routes and the fact that I was not developed as a receiver at the time,” he said.
https://twitter.com/bulldawgbob2_BI/status/726841396473171968
I don’ t know. The kid is smart enough to look at the WRs we already have, plus the re-emphasis on a TE game and, coupled with ths academics, it was a good choice, likely earlier and more playing time. Plus don’t underestimate the importance of getting away from Carlos

Backwudz BahitsDawg Bulldawg Bob2 lol, yeah, but anytime you have enough weight that could come down on your neck and kill or damage you, you need a spotter, imho.
BahitsDawg Bulldawg Bob2 RobDawg Because he wanted to announce from the College Football Hall of Fame, and his family would not have been able to fly out to Cal with him unless Cal paid for it.
BahitsDawg Bulldawg Bob2 Don’t believe a guy 305 lbs needs a spotter for 245 lbs. That’s like me having a spotter for 135 lbs
BahitsDawg I don’t think he is on campus yet. He is heading to Athens after exams are done at Rhode Island. He plans to enroll in June.
Bulldawg Bob2 BahitsDawg RobDawg the Cal crowd was just getting out of bed. The fans might not even know or barely care what they just got.
smh, why not just fly out to cal and join the team?
BahitsDawg I do not believe he is enrolled at UGA
Bulldawg Bob2 BahitsDawg The walls have the right colors. Is that one of our gyms? Is he now on campus?
BahitsDawg Bulldawg Bob2 RobDawg I could be wrong, but I don’t think he was concerned about a reaction from the crowd.
BahitsDawg Bulldawg Bob2 Probably, and he knows what his limitations are. I wouldn’t do it without a spotter, but outside of that, a textbook video on how to bench press. Good form.
Maybe the spotter was the guy shooting the video lol
Bulldawg Bob2 no spotter. Confidence?
Bulldawg Bob2 RobDawg I wonder if Drob got the reaction he was hoping for.
I can’t imagine that was it, but who knows other than him?

Wow wonder how they reacted?
RobDawg Yes. Sony Michel was there along with some others.
RobDawg I know SM1 was there.
Thanks Bob. Did we actually have UGA players there??
RobDawg There was a link to the live stream, but I haven’t looked for a recording of it. I’ll see if there is one.
https://twitter.com/AwardsDarwin/status/726374967592534016
Just got back from being out with family and signed on. Disappointed in DRob result but not totally surprised. Is there a link to a video of the announcement? I’m just curious to see it and reactions. Bet there was a lot of people feeling let down after showing up with kids and such… Wonder how many blue and gold shirts were in audience? From photos I saw there were tons of kids there in red tees
Bansai buckeroo lol
Bob…trying to cheer everyone up..###….haha
Meanwhile, headed into the bottom of the third, Georgia softball team trails Ole Miss 2-0.
https://twitter.com/UGASoftball/status/726831015767990272
Indeed
Bansai buckeroo It just seemed like he was always intrigued by the California lifestyle and academics in Cali. Good for the young man in following his dream as it takes a lot of guts to take his path in life rather than making an easy choice because it was the most comfortable (i.e., being close to family and friends, etc.).
Hobnailboot aka RobG Jay212033 No, once DRob signed the FA paperwork, coaches had unlimited contact with him and could openly discuss their contact with him in the recruiting process. I believe that CKS is well-versed on the recruiting rules “dos and don’ts”
@Brooklyndawg…. Logically Georgia made the most sense. But I guess you can throw logic out the window when it comes to 18 year old kids…. Anyway I’m just glad this soap opera is over.
Didn’t say huge. What would be huge would be an announcement that this was a faux ceremony and both him and his sister are going to UGA, for her well being.###
MMCSDAWG funny thing is if he settles in Georgia after college there would have been more open doors to him as he starts out in life. Not implying he will not be a success but getting started would have been so much easier. IMO
Well that didn’t go the direction I was expecting. The kid is California dreaming…
rugbydawg79 I’m wid ya.
Brooklyndawg I still think she goes to UGA – HOPE
Bulldawg Bob2 Nice, that would make my day to have a huge commit today.

Bansai buckeroo
Me and 2 girls. My fiance wasn’t one of the 2.
Yes…..as I remember it was a little suggestive….haha
And I’m NOT going to follow where his twin sister goes to school!!!!!!!!!!
TtownDawg Good Luck to him – he obviously wants to get away – lets all wish him well – come on Charlie Woerner !
Greg Poole Bansai buckeroo
I got in a little trouble doing that dance, back in the day.
All I can say is….so much for my locked down source last Thursday night! Wait’ll I see him THIS Thursday! Dang
…
TtownDawg lol, yeap. Maybe a little I am going to make you pay in there.
Plus, I like that he will be a small thorn in USCw’s side. I despise that school as much as USCe.
He can now go play against his dream school for the next 3 or 4 years…smh!
Brooklyndawg If I were him, I would have my ticket ready and have someone (not his brother) drop me off at the airport and never look back.
Jay212033 I thought that only applies IF he enrolls at UGA
You gotta wonder, what did he expect??? Sorry, talk sbout naive. He’d have been better off just announcing at his HS and letting it go at that. This is like one of those real bad Academy Award jokes where tha audience is shown looking around in disbelief.
I had the 45…haha
Nope because Kirby had unlimited contact with him but him signing the FA paperwork.
Looking at the glass as half full… This probably increases our odds of signing a big time WR for 2017.
Well the drob saga has finally come to an end! Good luck to him and hope he is able to achieve his goals at Cal. Our receiving Corp looks good and we will survive without him. Go DAWGS!
Brooklyndawg I wish you had been right but I am glad the drama is over.

RumRunnerDoogie BahitsDawg Bansai buckeroo AWKWARD!
Score Check Done!
BahitsDawg Bansai buckeroo I don’t think anyone is too happy with it tbh.
BahitsDawg Bansai buckeroo the crows went wild with the sound of 4 people clapping
OK – time to walk the dog.
Bansai buckeroo I don’t think his coach was all that happy with this choice.
Greg Poole RumRunnerDoogie idk do they still have that tree behind the stadium filled with hippies saving it?
RumRunnerDoogie I don’t think so.
Finally we can all move on…..that was a little weird but good luck to the young man
Greg Poole makes you think that he was always about leaving Georgia and some of the family. I don’t know but that was a strange presser and the reaction was absolutely a dud.
RumRunnerDoogie They probably won’t. They are gonna continue the hype, what else do they have?
Hobnailboot aka RobG 1Dawg under God It is probably a blessing for our program that we don’t have to deal with that brother of his.
Best wishes to Drob. It was interesting.
Greg Poole Hobnailboot aka RobG SMH
wow
oh well, cal will have fun de-recruiting him haha.
Well at least it wasn’t tech or Notre dame.
Hobnailboot aka RobG probably
Hobnailboot aka RobG 1Dawg under God yeah that too haha
1Dawg under God and his brother ain’t close
Hey can’t blame the kid he wants to go where defense is irrelevant and offense is wide open lol
Greg Poole Bulldawg Bob2 Aye
RumRunnerDoogie it was pretty underwhelming wasn’t it.
Bulldawg Bob2 I think tech would have been a better choice strictly for engineering. This kid is getting away from home…and that’s ok.
Bulldawg Bob2 RumRunnerDoogie yea i just figured it would be ND before it was cal
Did he just say “the love” was much more in Georgia so he just had to kind of ignore it? I thought kids wanted to feel “the love” lol
Bansai buckeroo lol wasnt exactly a a roar of cheers
RumRunnerDoogie Bulldawg Bob2 It wasn’t as random as folks think
Haha…that went smooth
1Dawg under God Cal has one of the top engineering programs in the country and doesn’t have the stringent requirements as Stanford
BahitsDawg 1Dawg under God yea our WRs are set, going to a irrelevant team loll
BahitsDawg 1Dawg under God for sure
Does this mean UGA committed minor recruiting violations for Kirby talking about DRob and him not committing
Score Check yep
Time to move on
Bulldawg36 dont hit the vape pen too hard
1Dawg under God lol, yeah, but I am glad it isn’t a rival. Our WR TE chore is really strong regardless.
Wow cal?
Well y’all take it easy! I’m out for the day!!!!!!!
Cal i mean really why Cal lmao
Greg Poole He may be back in a couple of years, who knows?
Greg Poole running from his brother, imho
Bulldawg Bob2 talk about the most random pick lol
As a former art major, I’m going to have to say that’s one painting I would never hang in my house.
Well, we don’t have to worry about him.
Definitely not where I figured. But it’s over
Well, I was wrong on that one. Congratulations to D-Rob though.
It would be hush ‘yo’ mouf!
That one is a shocker IMO
unbelievable
Well crap
Wow
wow
Lol- not this time/ tunsil made sure of that
dawgmum Hobnailboot aka RobG LOL!!!
Hobnailboot aka RobG Hush your mouth!
…And out of the blue DRob commits to Ole Miss #####
With this crowd and UGA players attending, I don’t think he’s announcing for ND or Cal…jmho
lol, his coaches smile is terrible but great!
Brooklyndawg Doing my best.
Be cool, like Fonzy, be cool!

Bansai buckeroo 23 minutes…………………………………………………..
Greg Poole I’ll take 3 points.
ZippyMorocco yes sir, no need to coach up kids he did not recruit. lol
Brooklyndawg It’s hell getting old, you never got that second cup of coffee I presume..###
Seeing elsewhere crowd already starting in, podium is up. Actual announcement between 1 and 1:30 and with his HS there, there’ll be speeches
Bansai buckeroo I ready Bb, I hope it is good news…..
55 minutes……… 🙂
Yessssssss….lol. I mis-read what you wrote
That’s great, love it!
My name is Jeremy. Been called Jerms my entire life. Even still today. It all works out
I like your amusing user name
The smart coaches everywhere will negative recruit, using this as a hashtag….thanks Butch….lol
I went to school w/ AJ and his wife at Johnson. AJ was a great fullback & middle linebacker. I remember him being one of the first that I’ve seen that the bar would bend when he bench pressed. He was a senior my freshman year. He was a beast in football. His younger and older brothers were too.
Brooklyndawg Is there an echo…####
Coaches to recruits “Go to Tennessee if you don’t want to play in the NFL”….SMH, LOL
He’s way past an LOI. He’s a whatever he chooses only once he officially enrolls, and not before.
Bansai buckeroo I’d rather cut your grass too Bansai than watch rasslin’
Bulldawg36 he won’t be an anything until he enrolls wherever he decides, that is assuming this is only a verbal commitment thing and he is not signing a LOI
Yeah he is making those Canadian defenders look silly
I think you’re spot on with this one. This is appropo of why my alma mater, U of Md, left the ACC for the Big 10, not enough exposure. PS they finally beat Johns Hopkins in men’s lacrosse!
Oh….I guess I need that 2nd cup of Maxwell House!#
I wonder if he may blossom in NFL and blow up like others before him? I know he is very young and may develop so I hope those guys making business decisions in NFL recognize something there. When I say others before him look at Justin Houstin and Geno Atkins. Who called that they would be superstars when they were drafted? All that being said I was happy for him to go so high but surprised
I would rather cut my grass than watch pro wrestling…no offense 36
I think he picks Kentucky!!!!!!!
Brooklyndawg I don’t see the ACC Net happening. ESPN is not going to risk another Longhorn Network disaster. ACC football is a not a draw throughout the footprint and college basketball does not produce big number during the regular season.
Of course, I’m often wrong.
1mandawgpack Good thoughtful post. As a parent of college and HS kids though, my first thought when it comes to Drob’s decision making process is that it wasn’t very well planned out. If Stanford was his dream school, then someone should have been advising him to cut back on some of his extracurricular sports related stuff and focus more on academics. Maybe cut out basketball and just play football and run track. Maybe cut back on the camp circuit some. If academics was a priority, why did he originally commit to Bama? That had to be more of a football decision than an academic decision. If being close to his Mom was important, why the interest in the California schools? His recruitment seems to have been all over the place. Although if he picks Georgia he ends up hitting the trifecta…close to Mom…respected academics…high level football program with a potentially elite QB. So he would end up where he probably should be all things considered.
My only point is that I would not recommend this approach to the typical college athlete. IMO it’s better for the kids to get the decision out of the way a little earlier. My daughter’s a Junior in HS and already has her SAT and ACT test done with scores that will allow her to go pretty much anywhere. She’s been taking multiple AP classes since she was a freshman in HS, along with taking the accompanying AP tests. I actually have a lot of respect for the football players that early enroll. Those kids have to have a plan to pull that off.
An idea, now that Richt is there. Just a coincidence I’m sure##
Brooklyndawg There are no links – it is a response on Twitter to the post of this page. I assume he is referring to the Hubbard video above.
I have its on good inside information that he will pick us……or someone else…… 🙂
I’m not seeing what you’re pointing us to, on my droid.
Hope your friend is right
You gonna rent the WWE event today? Ole AJ Styles from Gainesville GA will be wrestling for the belt today!
Rickpope2330 all I have is a good friend at the gym is close to a UGA I won’t name, and that Coach told him D Rob is our’s! But, we all know how that works,lol.
Heck yeah fella!
Rickpope2330 All Dawg >>> LOL, I don’t.
Bulldawg36 Oh, me too!
They should of drafted him tho! I believe Mayes was worthy of a 6th or 7th round pick
Anyone have any inside info on DRob?
Greg Poole Hating to type this, but yes I think so, unless he is going to be nothing but a situation player.
1mandawgpack This ^^
Well the Falcons picked up one of my faves and he will help them, Go Mayes!
Score Check 1mandawgpack I’m not trying to “church” anyone up, but am a bit weary of seeing grown men berate this young man (not inferring you, just in general based upon reading multiple posts about it) for trying to use sound judgment in making a very hard decision that will directly impact the rest of his life.

Greg Poole well, its yet another example of someone exploiting his statistics without any consideration for his stats being skewed by the role he was asked to play. It may or may not be a reach but I believe using his stats to make his case is rather silly.
Bansai buckeroo
They are saying Sgt. Carter’s first class aren’t seniors. It’s Dooley’s fault.
Quick ride home. Don’t have to stop at any traffic lights or stop signs. Lol
1mandawgpack
Thank’s for Churching us up on this glorious Sunday morning; 🙂
Bulldawg Bob2 that has to be at least half of the seniors.
Bulldawg Bob2 so 14 Bulldogs are going to get a shot in the league….that’s awesome
Even Tech had a couple of people drafted….the Volnuts should be ashamed….
D-Rob will be a dawg today at 1pm!!!!!!!
Greg Poole I think so as a top 10 pick
Go Jake Ganus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know a lot of people will be happy that the DRob saga ends today (hopefully). Personally, I applaud this young man as he approached recruiting the correct way – consider academics first and football second. I personally believe that many recruits choose schools simply for football with little regard for academics because they see college as a temporary stop on the way to the league. However, as the past several days have proven, only a select few actually make it to the league, and some who are already there are cutting their playing days short over long-term health concerns. DRob’s decision making process was never about directing attention his way – to the contrary, he has mostly laid low out of direct sight of the media. So, while I would be ecstatic if he chooses our beloved Dawgs, I respect the young man for the maturity that he has displayed and the priorities on which he has focused during his recruiting process and wish him well regardless of his decision.
