UGA Football Recruiting 241 Comments

Greg is closing in on 15 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.

    Doc R Bulltoad Greg Poole The numbers dont lie.  Tech won last year in a close game but also lost to FSU in the ACC Championship by 2 points the year before.  Clemson has not beaten Tech in Atlanta since 2003.

    Bulltoad Greg Poole Ole Vag Neck wants to act like his miracle block for TD means that he has a better team than FSU

    It’s durn boring!!!!! Fall practice needs to hurry up and start!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    MMCSDAWG I knew the process would have to go quick.  I saw an article on the AJC today that said he is expected to take official visits here and at Louisville over the next few days.  I have no concerns about the talent level we have on the DL but I do have concerns about their age.  O-lines in the SEC are full of 21-22 year old grown men and that doesn’t bode will for 18-19 year old young guys that haven’t developed at the major college level yet.  Bringing in an older juco guy that can physically hold up I think would be very helpful.

  17. MMCSDAWG

    KaolinDawg I’ve read where he was in Athens for at least 2 days last week.  Watched his film from Juco..  he is definitely raw and not an immediate impact player imo.  Now, I think the staff will feel out our real options for this 17 class with Solomon and the other SC commit and if we don’t look good before next week they might pull the trigger, but since he was here last week and we haven’t heard of an official offer I’m skeptical,  of course they could be waiting on admissions to review his file as well.  If he’s going to come here we would definitely need a commitment by this weekend.  Classes start for the final summer semester shortly after that and he would have to be enrolled in order to play this season.

    Greg Poole Didn’t he ASK for this….  When accusations started flying he openly said -“IF any of you have proof send it in” otherwise it is all …….  I think the Old Pizz compliance office got over 100 replies that first week.  Then came the Tunsil  info.  Be careful what you ask for!

  24. Avon Barksdale

    I guess what I come down to on it is “must-have” is relative to who else you’ve got on the roster. Another stud defensive back might not have made much of a difference on last year’s team. Another stud wideout or offensive lineman might have made a big difference.

  27. KaolinDawg

    I saw on the 247 article we are trying to add another DL,  http://247sports.com/Player/Ratu-Mafileo-38693, to this year’s class.  I think it is a great idea especially with him being JuCo.  He is older, more physically mature to come on and help right away.  I can’t imagine we would bring him in to sit on the bench this year.  Anyone know how serious our chances are with him?

  29. Lucas Rogers

    PTCDawg Lucas Rogers MMCSDAWG I’ll just surprise him at the house. I need to hit up all the babes and get them over there!

  30. PTCDawg

    Lucas Rogers MMCSDAWG maybe an offer of a lifetime supply of inflatables would convince him otherwise!

  31. PTCDawg

    Avon Barksdale Avon, agree on your depth point but I am one of those who will say there is no such thing as a ‘must have’ because the question is…we must have them.. or what? So, it all depends on what your definition of ‘must have’ is. The implication is that we have to have that one person or else we might as well just give it up because we didn’t get that one guy we had to have. IMO that applies to no one.

  32. Bulltoad

    Greg Poole He is absolutely correct about this.  The numbers dont lie.  UF normally plays 3 cupcakes plus FSU while we normally play GT plus another quality opponent.  Most people say well UF has to play FSU when the truth is GT has traditionally been as good or better than FSU and Clemson since Johnson took over.

  33. Lucas Rogers

    MMCSDAWG Lucas Rogers I know man. I’ve heard from some people around here that he is pretty set on Bama at the moment.

  34. MMCSDAWG

    Lucas Rogers Better pick up your game on Jacoby!  Not looking like your going to be able to deliver! lol

  36. PTCDawg

    haws1178 I was wondering about Gales just a couple of days ago, thanks for posting this!!

    I wish UGA could hire him into some athletic department position that would be honorary to begin with but a real job in the long term.

  41. Avon Barksdale

    Been thinking a lot about all this Jacoby Stevens to Bama stuff. To be honest, it hit me like a gut punch yesterday although it’s sort of seemed more and more likely over the past month or so. Honestly,aside from Cam Akers and Isaiah Wilson who seem like long shots, Jacoby was my number one ‘must get’ guy remaining in this class. I just think he and McBride are both freak athletes that can wreak havoc in a defense, so this one hurts…
    A lot of people say there’s no such thing as a “must have” prospect but I’m not sure if I agree. Take Calvin Johnson. We went 10-2, 11-3, and 9-4 the seasons he was at Tech, most of those losses being a touchdown or less. How many of those games would we have won with Megatron on our side. I’m pretty confident we would have been undefeated in ’05. Another example is Cordarelle Patterson. Although not nearly the player that Calvin was, that was the year we lost to Bama in the SECC by five yards. You can’t tell me Patteraon wasn’t worth five additional yards…
    But then take another player every bit as good as those two: Julio Jones. I’ve never heard a Dawg fan reflect wistfully: what if we’d had Julio? True, we weren’t really top contenders for his commitment at the time but I don’t think that’s the reason why. The reason why we don’t complain about missing out on Julio was because we got AJ Green instead.
    I know that Jacoby MAY still be in play, but we still got Gibbs, Terrell, Jamyest, and the Bama decommit still out there. Land Gibbs or Terrell, and maybe I’m okay with whiffing on Stevens.
    With this class of DBs, we need to land four of them. Any more than that is just icing on the cake.
    Same thing with DT. Maybe we whiff on Aubrey Solomon. Let’s go get Wyatt (or whomever).
    The fact is we’re going to land some of these top guys and whiff on others, but what’s most important is depth, keeping those cupboards full. That’s why whiffing on DTs this year, for example, isn’t as catastrophic as whiffing on OTs would have been. It’s because we’ve got SOME depth from prior classes.
    Realistically, I think we’re two recruiting classes away from being where we need to be, and where Kirby wants us to be, in terms of depth. That doesn’t mean we won’t be good this year and next, I think we will. I just think it’s going to take this class and next before we have that depth AT EVERY POSITION. The past two classes have been real good, the next two could be better. That added depth is going to minimize the pain of some of these recruiting misses, and the resulting success on the field will lead to less recruiting misses…

    Greg Poole Punch counter punch and this time Johnson has a valid argument…   Still don’t like them!

  44. MMCSDAWG

    Greg Poole Like I said initially, I am more worried about his long term health and beating his addiction than his playing time…  I hope the kid gets the help he needs and makes the choice to make a change in his life, once that’s done…  He can come on back and we will welcome him proudly!

  45. Greg Poole

    Paul Johnson has a point:
    “Johnson, speaking at the ACC Kickoff media event, pushed back at the notion that Florida State and Clemson “created a bit of distance” in the ACC with other teams including the Yellow Jackets.
    “Really?” Johnson said. “We’re 5-4 against Clemson and 3-2 against Florida State what distance is that?””

    Spin it the opposite way… Lambert starts all season and we go 9-3 with mid tier bowl. CKS gets a boat load of criticism for not starting the Washington Sensation. Tough pickle to be in if you are CKS.

  47. Greg Poole

    There have been several articles about Ledbetter’s suspension in the last couple of days based on Kirby’s “your be surprised at the how long he is suspended” comment. The speculation is that it could be 1/2 of the season. I just got off the phone with a contact very close to Jonathan. He said he did not think it was going to be that long but would get back to me on it.
