UGA vs UNC?
Greg Poole I watched a couple of those. Very cool.
dsw61 i think they are just more laid back visits where nothing is really scheduled and mostly just hang out with the players and some coaches

Trevor Lawrence supposedly visiting this weekend. Does anyone know what recruits do on these random visits?
Wow this is really amazing, thanks!
@zippy it was more like Power Rangers but agree they were hideous
Sic ’em….
Go dawgs!!!!!
Bulldawg36 Hey, #36, will you punch a raccoon????
Greg Poole AlphaDawg Isn’t there more or less a set base amount that the league prescribes for someone picked in the 9th round? Maybe he saw what Ludicris got in a contract supplement so he’s holding out for more. If I were Floyd I’d thank God for the high draft and go on from there.
Greg Poole MMCSDAWG
We had Oklahoma and Bull in the Ring, but the worst was the board drill. We had a 2 x 10. The opponents straddled it and tried to knock the other one off. The winner started that week.

Bulldawg36
Anything will be better than the Transformer crap we wore the last time.
Greg Poole AlphaDawg more likely, the agent is forcing the hold out for more salary which equates to more commission.
Most agents don’t give a jack about the athlete.
Bulldawg36 I don’t care what color britches we have on as long as there is a can of whup ass in the pockets!
Greg Poole Like P.T. Barnum once famously said… “There’s a Sucker born every minute” Send me your 800.00 and a five minute video of your kid and I’ll tell you if you have a pro athlete or not!
MMCSDAWG Reddawg13 RafaRich Sho do!
MMCSDAWG RafaRich I too supported CMR and towards the end caught hell from some friends. The last three years I lost faith and confidence and was ready for him to go. But I wanted Gary Patterson. Thank God I didn’t get to choose! Welcome home Kirby, you absolutely get it and got it!
Reddawg13 RafaRich
Makes it just a little sweeter doesn’t it!!!!
MMCSDAWG RafaRich Word!
RafaRich Folks, we have a winner! And he is an Alum too!
AlphaDawg Greg Poole

AlphaDawg Trying to get the Mac salary he can – making that agent work
AlphaDawg LOL…. Looking at this photo the first thing that popped into my head was dang that Mizzou player is short! Looks like a mighty-mite out there with some big boys!
Greg Poole what’s the hold up dude
AlphaDawg The mysteries of the interwebs
Greg Poole AlphaDawg Yes he did
Greg Poole AlphaDawg I typed the first comment into the new comment box at the top. Not sure how it got under this video…

Bulldawg36 That will not be for a while – maybe August, if we don’t get access to the camps this summer
AlphaDawg FB vids are better on a number of fronts. They still don’t put traffic on your site for monetization. Promotes the personalities rather than the brand, IMHO.
Hangouts on Air is a much more sensible platform because the vid plays on your site and then is saved in your YT channel. The audio can easily be stripped for upload as a podcast.
My invoice is in the mail, AJC.
Ask em about the silver britches the next time you get to interview him if you can.
Greg Poole Hey EC, looks like the AJC has already switched over to Facebook Video for their live streams. We discussed a while back about the trolls on periscope not making it very business friendly. Once FB came out with a similar product it seemed like a no brainer. Hold the people accountable for having an account on FB their a lot less likely to act like an azz
ESPN wants to tell you how to consume sports

Bulldawg36 Well, CKS can’t survive you being ticked
I will be highly ticked off if we ain’t wearing the real silver britches in the GA dome!!!!!!!
AlphaDawg Murray perfected the back shoulder pass
The coolest room Goldberg machine ever
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQ9gs-5lRKc
DawgLink Yes he was. If there was anything you could rely on with Murray it was him giving all he had in the last drive of the game. That boy could move the chains.
Greg Poole and they paid a pretty penny for that too

RafaRich MMCSDAWG Pretty much the same Rafa… I was one of those that felt the administration had left CMR out to dry and was just as complicit as he was. And I wasn’t 100% sold on CKS being selected as our new HC either, but dang he has done nothing but amaze me since he took the job!
MMCSDAWG I called the old BITR a ‘run off drill’. Coach trying to see who he could run off (make quit).
The version you are describing makes sense
Greg Poole MMCSDAWG We used it occasionally in a little different manor, we would put everyone in a circle and give a ball to one of the players, assign on player to block and the other player was the defensive player and his job was to beat the blocker and tackle the running back. It would take some kids forever to win against the offensive guys, and some would give up, but it did have a teaching purpose of how to beat a blocker and make a tackle in the open field. We never actually ran the “old-fashioned’ bull in the ring like we did in HS.
And most of the time it was a TD
Greg Poole MMCSDAWG had a lot of fights because of OK drills back in high school with me haha
Murray was a 2 minute master. If you needed to score, he made it happen. Hopefully Eason will do the same
MMCSDAWG I never used it as a coach. OK drills are just as effective in the toughness dept. and have skill improvement aspects for OL. We used to sometimes add a LB and a blocking back too. To really give the OL a workout we would signal to the DL/LB which direction the OL was going to block. That would also increase the frustration level and number of fights though
UGA UGA UGA UGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MMCSDAWG RafaRich Yea, no doubt whatsoever now. I did not want CMR fired, but I did have alot of issues on things he did/did not do. I was very against Kirby being hired because of the perception that he turned us down a few times and recruited negatively against us. But he sure has alleviated any fears or concerns that I have had since his hire. He is awesome and his PROCESS is just incredible. All that is left is to develop the talent and win big time. Everything else he has proven that he gets it.
RafaRich Kirby gets it! He is making his own way at UGA and so far, I have to admit, I am very impressed!
Greg Poole RumRunnerDoogie Exactly how it was done in my days in HS as well. The only meaningful skill being taught back in our day was to make you meaner and keep your head on a swivel! I can’t tell you how many fights were had on the football field as a result of the aftermath of the Bull in the ring… keeping your head on a swivel is a useful skill though, especially for the younger kids. Of course we stopped using this drill about 5-6 years into my coaching experience, but it is important to teach those youngsters to keep their head on a swivel or they are going to get CLOCKED!

RumRunnerDoogie AlphaDawg Greg Poole Just shows how full of it Butch is. He was doing Oklahoma drills before the spring game last year
RumRunnerDoogie Well, our coach just called numbers on opposite sides of the ring. You were gonna get blasted.
Greg Poole RumRunnerDoogie yea usually the way u werent lookin haha
RumRunnerDoogie Our bull-in-the ring was one player in the center > numbers called and the players with those numbers hit the guy in the center
Greg Poole RumRunnerDoogie idk what it taught u other than how to get blindsided lol
RumRunnerDoogie Not sure, but it was brutal when I was in high school – calling two numbers at once is guaranteed to get you hit in the back
https://twitter.com/Dawgs247/status/729715073095184388
AlphaDawg Greg Poole i know bull in the ring was banned in the FL hs level years ago, i wonder if it is universally
SabanGreyshirtedHisMama Last I checked he was at an 88 and needed a 90 to get the GPA he needs to go to UGA
That’s a given!!! I’m talking about a bonified athlete!!!!
Greg Poole Jones wants these guys to compete on every down. He starts every practice with the “circle of life” drill. (We had a version of this called “Bull in the Ring” during our High School practices at Nashville Christian School back in the day). Two Players are called into the center to do battle in front of their teammates.
Jones may call for a 170 pound defensive back to go up against a 320 pound lineman. The point is to create toughness, and more importantly, to learn to compete. You do not want to be humiliated in that drill in front of everyone, so you give your all.

Congrats to this young lady and your family PTC!
Greg Poole I’m pretty sure I saw a video of his players last season doing the Oklahoma drill. Wouldn’t that be worse?

This should ruin your appetite

Greg Poole PTCDawg I was too.
Greg Poole We will hopefully have the running game and plenty of guys who are capable in short, quick routes to ease him in a bit. He’s just got to protect the ball, priority number one. Will need Kublanow or someone along the OLine to help with protections like Boss Andrews used to.
UGA has one player on this list – at number 2

So how much longer before Kirby lands us a 15 year old? This is crazy! But the kid is huge, let’s see if he is still around 4 years from now.

If he keeps saying stuff like that, I’m going to have to adopt this kid…##…. 🙂
Greg Poole SabanGreyshirtedHisMama Besides Herrien, weren’t there one or two more guys we were looking to add? Can’t remember their names.
Greg Poole MMCSDAWG Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking too.
Greg Poole
Bobby Lamb was my son’s position coach at Furman.
MMCSDAWG I expect to see some big players come in and organize the satellite camps based on the level of player being invited. I think this will begin to happen next year and the whole scene will have settled down by the following year.
Greg Poole LOL! Pretty accurate and I loved this one here… Tennessee? The Kardashians!!! lol
” Who wwwould I trust?
Tennessee? The Kardashians? The program without an NFL draft pick the last two years and a penchant for gagging?
Greg Poole I agree, this unlimited camp thing is going to get ridiculous for now, this will all weed out in a couple of years, but for now it is going to be crazy!

SabanGreyshirtedHisMama NP with the question. Just giving the Cliff’s Notes version 🙂
https://twitter.com/MercerFootball/status/729651625112031233
Greg Poole SabanGreyshirtedHisMama Thanks for the reply. I guess I was 1) too lazy to start at the bottom of the thread and work my way up, 2) timely, since there was discussion about him.
https://twitter.com/KippLAdams/status/729689968470171649
SabanGreyshirtedHisMama There is a video and some discussion below. on Brian Herrien. He is very close to being able to commit – a matter of days.
Question: There was a RB from the Douglasville/Carrolton area that was a possible add to the 2016 class if he made his grades. Does anyone know the situation there? I guess I kinda lost track.
I think he is a better person than that. Being very competitive and the best at what you do does not mean you are bad to family or close friends. He has a special affinity for Kirby.
RumRunnerDoogie uses the biting method:

NCAA looking for better insurance coverage at lower cost for athletes:
“Critics of college sports’ current health insurance model complain that it’s inefficient, contains costly gaps in coverage for the NCAA and its members, and creates policies that don’t guarantee equal coverage for athletes across all conferences and schools. The NCAA requires that athletes have insurance paid for by the school, the athlete or his or her family. The insurance must cover up to the $90,000 deductible of the NCAA catastrophic injury program.”

RumRunnerDoogie I can’t wait for the Fall camp practice video where he is blowing up some freshman walk-on followed by all the coaches jumping in each others arms acting like they have witnessed the greatest play ever!!!

Score Check Yup. I don’t know if McGee is in the background of any of these commits but RBs aren’t typically difficult for us to recruit. Kirby vouched for him when he was hired, “Dell McGee, who I had the great fortune of recruiting his high school. Every time I’ve gone to Dell’s high school, I’ve always thought about the respect I had for him as a person first and foremost,” Smart said of McGee. “I can’t tell you how many times Coach (Nick) Saban and I went through the whole http://247sports.com/Player/Gabe-Wright-20033 and http://247sports.com/Player/Isaiah-Crowell-519 process where I thought ‘Man, this guy is a really reputable person. He’s going to be a great college coach one day.’
I really hated it when Kirby lost Thomas Brown. I hope Dell Mcgee comes through.
Morning Y’all
Greg Poole If Eason can learn to make good decisions then he probably should start. Might as well get him some game experience for next season. Chaney’s belief that 60% of throws are movement throws bodes well for QB play IMO. Bill Walsh taught his QBs to get moving after their second progression. Eason seems fairly accurate with his throws and he has the arm strength to fit the ball into tight windows. Seems like some of the big bodied receivers that will be available in 2016 should be able to use their length to have a shot at catching most passes, even if their covered. If Chubb gets back to 100%, that will really help out the passing game.
Top ‘o the Morn to Dawgs Everywhere!
Greg Poole Strange read, mostly spoke about his relationship with LSU and a pending offer leading to a flip to LSU. Doesn’t sound like a solid commit to me.
Greg Poole The kid simply needs reps, he has the arm and vision IMO.
