UGA Football Recruiting 298 Comments

Author /

Greg is closing in on 11 years writing about and photographing UGA sports. While often wrong and/or out of focus, it has been a long, strange trip full of fun and new friends.

  2. Bansai buckeroo

    PapaDeaux’s is close…..haven’t been there in years though. Next time….:-)

  4. dsw61

    Bulldawg36 Some Tenn boards think Gibbs is all Vol and Georgia has no chance. I think JR Reed’s commitment helps Georgia. Gibbs has recently described Jake Reed as being like a second father. I also think Breon Dixon being Gibb’s best friend helps Georgia. Don’t be surprised if Gibbs plays WR at Grayson this season; like he mostly did last year at Peachtree Ridge. Will probably play DB against IMG though.

  6. JaxDawg

    Yea 1 safety and 2 cbs. We are taking 4 cbs and 2 safeties. Stevens is a safety and Gibbs and jamyest/AJ for the other spot. That’s what I’ve just read

  8. RumRunnerDoogie

    JaxDawg i just dont see taking that many DBs unless stevens goes to WR. we already have what, 3 DB commits?

  9. JaxDawg

    I hope so! Fingers crossed we get one of jamyest or AJ though! Jamyest is solid man, he’s the real deal. He will be making headlines wherever he goes

  19. PiKappDog

    Henry’s Louisiana Grill in Acworth has really good Hot Chili Gator. It’s an LSU hangout though.

  21. JaxDawg

    We need to land the guys first! Jamyest and AJ got recent cbs to other places. I’d be happy with Stevens Gibbs and one of AJ and jamyest

  23. Bulldawg36

    Goooooood night!!! All you lil doggies!!!! I’m about to head to bed!!!!! Need all the sleep I can get before the baby gets here in September!!!!!!!!!!!!

  25. DawgDaddy

    Bansai buckeroo Jim Shaw’s in Macon has some good blackened gator.  IIRC so does PapaDeaux’s in the ATL.

  28. rugbydawg79

    RumRunnerDoogie DawgDaddy Can we do a trips wide using our monster Tight Ends ? I imagine Coach Chaney is having visions

  29. rugbydawg79

    Bansai buckeroo we had season tickets from the beginning – He was Mr. Falcon back in the day – as #57 Jeff Van Note was later – both should be in the Hall of Fame

  30. Bansai buckeroo

    Rummy…I love calamari… I’m going to have to give it a try if I see it on a menu… I guess it’s served in Atlanta somewhere…

  31. RumRunnerDoogie

    Bansai buckeroo its like calamari, cooked right its amazing and if not..tastes like rubber

  33. Bulldawg36

    Yep….see…chickens & gators are nothing but every day meals!!!! I hate em!!!!!!!

  36. Bansai buckeroo

    I remember when I think John Glenn was in orbit and he transmitted something about how he hoped Nobis would go to The Dallas Cowboys….. 🙂

  37. DawgDaddy

    granger35 I still think he earned his way in.  Playing on those Falcon teams was a cruel twist of fate for Nobis.

  38. RumRunnerDoogie

    DawgDaddy i just dont see how he will not grow bigger into a TE predominately..if not now. Tight end Charlie Woerner: No. 89, listed at 6-foot-5, 249 pounds

  39. MMCSDAWG

    Me too buck. I wore #60 and played lb my entire HS years! He might have went to Texas but he was my dog!

  40. RumRunnerDoogie

    DawgDaddy big dude “Defensive tackle Michail Carter: No. 76, listed at 6-foot-3, 317”

  43. Bulldawg36

    My brother is at Daytona beach eating some gator bytes!!!! That’s what the dawgs gonna do this year!!! Eat some gators!!!!!!!

  45. granger35

    Bansai buckeroo Yep, he was the only player the Falcons had on defense and no team could keep him away from the ball carrier.

  46. Bansai buckeroo

    Ran from side line to side line….in on almost all the tackles as I remember it.

  47. granger35

    Bansai buckeroo Tommy Nobis, best lb of his day, too bad he played for the expansion Falcons, he should be in the HOF if he isn’t.

  49. Bansai buckeroo

    In high school I wanted and wore #60 after Tommy Nobis….the number can be very important to these kids……

  55. DawgByte

    dawgmum DawgByte Greg Poole It’s Friday afternoon and the wine is flowing! LOL!

  61. DawgByte

    Greg Poole I wake up every morning have a cup of Java and do this routine with my Yo-Yo!#

  63. DawgByte

    Greg Poole Mind blowing. Incredible skill!!! One of the best to ever put on a UGA uniform.

  68. 1mandawgpack

    JessCapel MMCSDAWG 1mandawgpack Greg Poole  I have a TV in a really nice covered area under my back yard deck and my wife banishes me to that area during all UGA football games, so I resemble that remark.  All my neighbors’ kids can cuss with the best of them at school after learning all sorts of inappropriate language during college football season from that crazy man who lives next door.

  71. JessCapel

    Greg Poole JessCapel Rights to Rocky Top?…guess no help there either, most would rather have a root canal than hear that oldie but baddie.

  76. Greg Poole

    1mandawgpack Carter delayed until “the weekend”. There are seval cadidates for the other commit. Just fyi, I think July will end with 4 minimum.

  79. JessCapel

    MMCSDAWG 1mandawgpack Greg Poole And I will support the decision too as long as it’s Eason, otherwise, I’ll impotently yell at the TV until he is inserted.

  82. MMCSDAWG

    1mandawgpack MMCSDAWG Trent Smallwood I know..  I hope it’s Holliman.  I have no inside knowledge and I will be happy with Carter and Thomas!  Anything else would be icing on the cake.

  83. 1mandawgpack

    MMCSDAWG 1mandawgpack Trent Smallwood  Thomas is definitely committing Sunday, I was just trying to figure out who the other 2 might be as Carter has mentioned delaying his commitment (not sure for how long) and who the 3rd might be (there has been a lot of chatter about Holloman recently, but it could very well be someone else).

  84. MMCSDAWG

    1mandawgpack MMCSDAWG Greg Poole Me too!  I will support whomever is our QB 100%!   like I’ve said many times now, i have absolutely nothing against Lambert and I really appreciate what he done for us so far!  And hell, Bryce might be the wild card in this competition for all we know!  I know Bobo loved him. I’m just ready to get his party started!

  85. MMCSDAWG

    1mandawgpack Trent Smallwood That would make for a Great weekend.  I just don’t trust that Holliman is done with his recruiting!  He seems to enjoy the limelight too much to commit now!  But, if he wants to play at UGA he better get on board quickly!

  86. 1mandawgpack

    MMCSDAWG 1mandawgpack Greg Poole  I have complete faith that the coaches will start and play whichever QB gives us the best chance to win on a weekly basis and will support that young man (and any other of our QBs who might get playing time during games) fully.

  87. MMCSDAWG

    BahitsDawg RobDawg That’s why I prefer the NFL combine type vertical jump measuring device.  Put the sticks up there and see how high you can touch.  I want to know how high you can “reach” not hover.. lol

  88. 1mandawgpack

    So down below, Trent Smallwood mentions 3 potential commitments in the next few days.  Do we think that means Thomas on Sunday, Carter at some point this weekend, and Holloman (unknown date)?

  89. MMCSDAWG

    1mandawgpack MMCSDAWG Greg Poole

    And if we do have a QB that can stretch the field…  Could get interesting!  All the more reason to put the guy in with the best arm! lol!  I’m still sticking with my Eason prediction!

  91. BahitsDawg

    1mandawgpack MMCSDAWG Greg Poole toss in a few completed down field passes a game, and the running holes should be significant.

  93. RobDawg

    It looked like he hung up there at the apex of his jump a little bit. Lots of spring

  94. RobDawg

    Bansai I have to click the link above the picture itself. I cannot view them at all clicking the picture of the video itself

  95. 1mandawgpack

    MMCSDAWG Greg Poole  If that is the case, and assuming that Chubb and Michel can return to “normal” form fairly quickly, we won’t need phenomenal play from the QB position.  Towards the end of 2014, everyone knew that we were going to run Gurley and Chubb a significant number of times and didn’t have a great downfield passing game, and they still couldn’t stop us.  If our line is significantly better than that line, we’ll be tough to stop running the ball.

  96. MMCSDAWG

    Greg Poole This could be the most improved unit this year!  And good lord knows what it will look like in 2-3 years!

  111. RobDawg

    Wait his yo yo comes off the string on purpose and yet he is able to join the two back up over and over? I can’t imagine how that is possible but I see it…

  115. BahitsDawg

    Greg Poole I really hope he comes back as good as before.  I worry for him just watch that video.

  116. BahitsDawg

    Greg Poole That must be really good.

    I see a lot of 99th percentiles at the bottom.   4.52sec 40 official is very good.  I think we have a good one.

  119. 1mandawgpack

    Just watched the video on Trey and Jake from the opening and in addition to being high quality players, it seems as if our coaches are also targeting some fine young men.  Both were humble, had great manners (yes sir, no sir, etc.) and will be fantastic additions to our rosters.

  121. BahitsDawg

    Greg Poole The Tennessee Booger can predict anything, that doesn’t mean he has anything in his head except those boogers.

  130. BahitsDawg

    RumRunnerDoogie Bulldawg36 yeah, but BD36 said they plan on doing something a little more cheap and permanent.  They just need to find a place under that crappy field to bury the evidence.

  136. Score Check

    RumRunnerDoogie Lucas Rogers Bulldawg36
    And they have resolved the sex- sex-capades law suits for about $2.4 million.

  141. RumRunnerDoogie

    Lucas Rogers RumRunnerDoogie Bulldawg36 they are still paying off like 3 coaches lol

  149. Bulldawg36

    I will say he gets fired after the UGA game- when we put another beat down on the war rats!!!!!

  152. Bulldawg36

    Probably will, but you never do know- butch blows a lot 4th quarter leads vs good teams. I’m sure they move the ball a lot tho with their veteran qb

  154. Bulldawg36

    Will butch jones make it out of Knoxville if they finish 6-6. They might have more talent now but his coaching is still right at average

  157. Bulldawg36

    Yep.. Nothing special about their unis.. Recruits did a poll and said they were the ugliest

  159. RumRunnerDoogie

    Bulldawg36 to me its bama, yea i know its tradition but those are literally the most generic uniforms

  162. Bulldawg36

    Who else has the ugliest uniforms I the sec besides SC? I will say missy st and 10-R-C

  170. MMCSDAWG

    Trent Smallwood dawgmum Again, congratulations on your new addition!  one of each now!  Hope mom and new born are doing well!

  171. BahitsDawg

    Trent Smallwood dawgmum If I was a kid ready to make a happy, exciting announcement and a national heartbreaking event happens, I would move my announcement to a later date.  jmho

  174. Trent Smallwood

    dawgmum Thanks buddy, 4 more weeks. As far as today, I am really not sure when one will happen. Could be today. I believe at least 2 over the weekend

  179. dsw61

    Greg Poole I remember thinking when he committed to Bama that he was making a big mistake because of their depth chart. Don’t know what he was thinking. Bama is loaded every year with LBs.

  180. dawgmum

    Trent Smallwood Any news for today? Seems like good things happen when you show up around here. And congrats on your new addition!

  182. MMCSDAWG

    Trent Smallwood Bulldawg36 Told ya!! ####   There is going to be some turnover before NSD.  Kirby is going to manage our roster a little differently!

  186. MMCSDAWG

    Lucas Rogers RumRunnerDoogie HS starts before too long, so we shouldn’t have to wait past mid to late August!

  191. Bulldawg36

    The chickens are desperate they will take anybody. I hope they go 0-12. That would be fantastic

  196. RumRunnerDoogie

    Lucas Rogers RumRunnerDoogie avoiding watching any news stations. Did stevens ever announce a time table?

  203. ZippyMorocco

    Colonial Dawg ZippyMorocco MMCSDAWG
    My therapist is about 70, but knows his stuff. They no longer use a machine. I started at 85 deg, and am now at 108.

  208. Colonial Dawg

    ZippyMorocco MMCSDAWG The first walk I made it all the way from my mailbox to my neighbor’s mailbox before I was exhausted…….about 30 yards!

  209. Colonial Dawg

    ZippyMorocco MMCSDAWG Zippy, when I had my knee replaced 6 years ago my physical therapist came to my house.  She was about 4 ft 10 in. tall, weighed about 100 lbs., was GREAT looking…..and I was terrified of her!  She would give me an assignment on the perpetual motion machine and tell me what angle I needed to be acheiving the next time she came.  I was scared NOT to be at that level.  The best thing though was when she went with me for a walk outside.  I wanted everybody to see this old fart with that young beauty!

  211. Colonial Dawg

    DawgDaddy Greg Poole That was in response to DawgDaddy saying “Lucky too!”.

  212. ZippyMorocco

    MMCSDAWG ZippyMorocco
    Well, Humaana only approved 9 sessions, so it is currently in limbo. I ordered some ankle weights in case they don’t approve more.

  213. Colonial Dawg

    DawgDaddy Greg Poole I’m not so sure.  That one might have weeded him out for good.

  217. MMCSDAWG

    ed603 MMCSDAWG I hope!  Landing a couple more big time recruits would make it a Great weekend!

  218. ed603

    DawgByte  Amen! They serve and protect! they deserve better…I better quit now, before I get banned!

  239. Bulldawg36

    I hope our next pair of backs will stay more healthier than Marshall & Gurley…Chubb & Sony. But that maybe hard to do. Because cfb is such a violent game!!!!! Running backs usually take the most hits.

  240. Bulldawg36

    CBS sports ranked the SEC’s uniforms and we came in 2nd! They said flo-duh had the best! They’re wrong!!! We should of been number one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  244. MMCSDAWG

    Hobnailboot aka RobG Morning RobG…  Thanks for letting me know about Corrine!  Crook!

  251. DawgByte

    Bansai buckeroo I’m trying not to blow my top. This could have been avoided with good leadership at the top.

  254. DawgByte

    Bansai buckeroo I woke thinking it was a good morning too, then I read the news.

  255. Reddawg13

    dsw61 All we need to do now is Kick it up a notch! We did do some underachieving under last regime, in recruiting, play and coaching. We were a solid program and now we hired a guy that I believe escalates us to the championship level! “It Damn Sho Can Be Us!”

  257. Bulldawg36

    Kirby has put together a pretty good staff. The only hire I question is Chaney. Any OC will probably be a step up from what we had last year

  258. DawgByte

    Please pray for the families of the 5 Dallas police officers who were murdered last night.

  261. MMCSDAWG

    dsw61 Right, you turn around a  2-10 team, not a 10-3 team.  We know why Kirby is here and I believe he will accomplish that goal!

  267. Greg Poole

    OF THE THREE FIRST-YEAR COACHES IN THE SEC EAST (KIRBY SMART, WILL MUSCHAMP, BARRY ODOM), WHO IS GOING TO STRUGGLE THE MOST IN 2016?
    This is a close call, but right now I’m going with Odom as that program transitions from Gary Pinkel. The Tigers have a stud defensive line but are putting in a new offense under coordinator Josh Heupel.
    Mizzou opens at West Virginia and also plays Georgia and LSU in its first five games.
    South Carolina will be close behind after losing its best playmaker on offense (Pharoh Cooper, to the NFL) and best overall player on defense (linebacker Skai Moore, to a season-ending injury).

  270. DawgByte

    dsw61 DawgByte Yeah, I just saw that down below. Bummer. I was hoping we’d start the weekend with a bang.

  272. dsw61

    “Georgia will get turned around really quick with http://247sports.com/Coach/Kirby-Smart-264 and they’re in need of receivers. Their 2017 class is looking awesome.” — Terik Black

    I know what Terik is trying to say here, but it just sounds funny when people refer to a team that has a 10-3 record as one that needs to be “turned around”. The recruits need to just come out and say what everyone knows; which is that the AD and boosters believe Georgia under CMR was underachieving and that Kirby was hired to win championships. It’s good to know that the recruits are very aware that Kirby is putting together a great class. If Butch doesn’t elevate his recruiting, I think that helps Georgia with players like Gibbs.

  275. converted 1981

    DawgDaddy Greg Poole So who and what were they riding/driving that was filming him.

  276. converted 1981

    Greg Poole So Baylor is self inflicting penalties and attempting to “Clean House” while Puke Orange is buying their way out and suffering No Penalties.  Hmmm, seems about right for the ncaa!
