UGA Football Recruiting 285 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.

    Greg Poole I still would like to see how they do after getting sacked a couple of times.   I understand the argument for not getting them hurt, but people react differently after being hit.  Some step it up and others wither.

    If only there was a way to knock the snot out of them without getting them concussed or shattering a knee….

    Couldn’t help but notice the coach in Trevor Lawrence’s new twitter banner looks to be telling him to hold the ball up higher with the tip pointed outward. Not good IMO, and totally unnatural. It also shows a lack of understanding of how the hands break when throwing. These coaches have bought into the idea that holding the ball higher is quicker. In the process they ignore all the other things that have to happen to throw a ball accurately with velocity. The natural way to hold a football is to hold it a little lower with the tip pointing…”Down”. It’s actually pretty stupid to point the tip out. QBs have to be able to move around in the pocket with both hands holding the football in a way that is natural, and will allow them to be in sync when they make the decision to throw. It’s why Aaron Rogers changed to holding the football lower when he got to the NFL. Gotta love all these coaches who think they’re smarter than “Mother Nature”.

    Greg Poole I was about to post this.  I know Seth is https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1JPGB_enUS645US645&espv=2&biw=1680&bih=965&q=persona+non+grata&spell=1&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjqqNjDl5TOAhUIQyYKHYmrC-cQvwUIGSgA here, but I thought it was a good read.

    dsw61 Greg Poole Ditto that—I have corrected more than my share to the point where now I just say, Yeah, hope he is back

    Greg Poole 680 “Front Row” crew also said this morning that Chubb is coming back from an “ACL” injury. No excuse for this lazy commentary from people who make a living commenting on sports. The one ligament Chubb didn’t damage was his “ACL”.

  10. Greg Poole

    “Smart has also been complimentary of both of his more experienced signal callers. The first-year head man has had positive things to say about Lambert’s ability to control the huddle and get guys in the right spot. He has also praised Ramsey’s raw tools and athleticism.
    With just 38 days until the Bulldogs tee it up against North Carolina in the Georgia Dome on September 3, the pressure will soon be on each player. All the while Smart and offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach http://247sports.com/Coach/Jim-Chaney-308 will be watching closely and what they see will ultimately be the determining factor in how they go about finding and naming their guy for game one.
    “That can change after day one. That can change before day one,” Smart said of the current plan handle the quarterbacks. “We’re not putting anything in stone, so there’s no set, exact number of reps each guy gets. It’ll be more about how each guy is progressing, what they need, what the receivers need, where those quarterbacks need to rotate to. But it’s not something that’s going to determine the outcome. That’s going to be determined primarily on how they perform and how they perform in the scrimmage-like situations.””

    This writer appears to have some information that we don’t have:
    Not only is North Carolina getting a curve ball in terms of the opposing coaches, but it could be facing a quarterback who’s playing his first collegiate game. A consensus top-two signal-caller in the 2016 recruiting class, Jacob Eason is in contention for Georgia’s starting job under center after playing well throughout his first spring in Athens.
    Perhaps the most important battle in this meeting, however, will be UGA’s ground attack against a UNC defense that had its fair share of troubles stopping the run in 2015. The Bulldogs have two of the better running backs in the country in Nick Chubb and Sony Michel, but the availability of those ball-carriers is still a question; Chubb hasn’t been a full participant since tearing his ACL last season, and Michel underwent surgery for a broken arm earlier this month.
    The health of Chubb and Michel will be a significant factor, as will the Tar Heels’ ability to click on offense early. Junior quarterback Mitch Trubisky will be getting his first career start, and he’ll be surrounded by proven weapons, including All-ACC running back Elijah Hood and senior receivers Ryan Switzer, Mack Hollins and Bug Howard.

    DawgDaddy BahitsAgain  Johnson is destroying that program and the administration is watching him do it.  He had virtually no recruiting success against the former staff and I expect even less against the current staff and, as we all know, recruiting is the lifeblood of a program.

  14. Bulldawg36

    We may lose in Athens, but by golly under smart I hope we are prepared and never get blown out at home. For UGA to make it to the next level- we can’t be getting blown out in Athens

  15. Bulldawg36

    I agree MMCS!! The guys we do have are very talented!!!!!! Especially Thompson and the big hawk

  16. MMCSDAWG

    DawgDaddy Bulldawg36  Look at what happened once T. Rocker caem on the coaching staff.  I know we don’t have a lot this year (mostly due to lack of top quality DT talent around the state) But let’s look at what he’s done since arriving with Pruitt…   We have added the likes of TT, Hawkins, Ledbetter, T. Clark, Rochester, M. Carter, Barnett and Young….  Like you said, our problem is we don’t have any RS Jr’s or Sr’s.  All of our players are either RS FR, FR, or Sophomores with the only exception being Atkins!   Kirby won;t let this type of class discrepancy exist while he’s here!

  17. Bulldawg36

    That’s true. Richt thought you could win in this league with only good skill players. Donnan left him with a bunch of depth on the Ol and DL. I can see now why richt was very successful in his early tenure…. He had depth then. Still had some good years after 2005..but we just got to inconsistent. Too many big games where we got blowed out

  20. DawgDaddy

    Bulldawg36 CMRs biggest fault to me was his not recognizing the importance of having quality line men on both sides of the ball and having depth.  He sometimes had very good linemen but never any depth.

  23. DawgDaddy

    BahitsAgain Seeing gtu at #80 with 8 recruits, six 3 star and two 2 star kickers does my heart good.

  24. Bulldawg36

    The DL depth shouldn’t be this bad. We are gonna have to cross train some guys!!! Man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  29. MMCSDAWG

    DawgDaddy One of the original Mad Magazine contributors…  That was the $H)# back when I was a young man.  DGD and very talented artist!  RIP!

  30. MMCSDAWG

    1mandawgpack BahitsAgain It was my signature over on the old site…  Win, and they will come!  Everything will be fine, I like where our class is right now when compared to other classes, we definitely have some holes to fill but the foundation is there!  Hell, we are currently rated the #3 class in all of college football with only 14 commitments!  If there is one thing I’ve noticed about this group of coaches, they aren’t going to take recruiting lightly and I expect them to get this class together nicely!

  32. DawgByte

    Bulldawg36 We’ll know who are QB will be at least a week in advance of the UNC game. If I were a betting man (which I’m not) I’d think the odds are in favor of Lambert starting with Eason getting PT at some point during the game. Personally, I’m more concerned about the DL than anything else… oh and our running back situation.

  35. Hobnailboot aka RobG

    Like today is a gravy day I’m just logging a couple of chillers in an air conditioned mechanical room

  39. Hobnailboot aka RobG

    I like what I do but it can be very hard work sometimes, but it can be gravy as hell some too, take the good with the bad.

  42. 1mandawgpack

    BahitsAgain  Agree – but, some of the higher rated guys we’re after (Swift, Jacoby, etc.) seem to be wavering a bit at the moment and, as you see from the Vols, adding a bunch of 3* players really doesn’t do much for the ranking.  Hopefully CKS and staff can talk some sense into these young men.  However, win and they will come – I firmly believe that.

  43. Lucas Rogers

    1mandawgpack Lucas Rogers Lol yeah pretty much, but during turn I am on maintenance, and we have a pretty big complex. 15 buildings with 12 apartments in each building. So gonna be a blast lol.

  45. Hobnailboot aka RobG

    Yeah I just got through working 75 hrs last week, Uncle Sam got almost 1100 bucks from me last week

  47. 1mandawgpack

    Lucas Rogers  C’mon – everyone knows that the “leasing agents” at the apartment complexes sit in the AC all day surfing the net and will reluctantly get up and show an apartment if pushed.

  48. Lucas Rogers

    Hobnailboot aka RobG yeah I do lol. Be very happy. Think I am scheduled like 80+ hours the first week lol
