Heath Holland RumRunnerDoogie Bulldawg Bob2 Lucas Rogers ok lindsey lohan. we need to get u a dang avatar too
BenKellam Good chances. Need to turn the heat on. Jaden will be working him hard
Bulltoad Still UGA/Bama, I think – but he goona be a Dawg
Bulltoad Dawg IMO
Greg Poole Lucas Rogers and Josh Hall is another o-lineman flying under the radar. He is a 6 foot 4 and when I talked to him earlier last week, he was pushing 305 lbs. Plays for Milton HS out of Alpharetta.
RumRunnerDoogie Bulldawg Bob2 Lucas Rogers Heath Holland working on my figure
Bulldawg Bob2 Greg Poole Lucas Rogers How can someone that huge fly under the radar?
Lucas Rogers Bulldawg Bob2 Heath Holland this ^^^ his film is REALLY good.. really the only true DT in-state that is a high ceiling dude. I like MJ Webb too. Keep in mind, if Michail Carter was in the 2017 class he’d be a top 5 player in-state.
What are our chances with AJ Terrell? Haven’t seen a corner hit like that in a while.
Any update on Nate Mcbride
Heath Holland It was impressive to me. I’m sure those kids were blown away.
RumRunnerDoogie Bulldawg Bob2 Lucas Rogers Heath Holland LOL
Greg Poole Lucas Rogers Keep your eye on Michael Cone out of East Paulding High School from Dallas, GA. A 6-5 and 310 pounder that is flying under the radar.
I’m late to the party, I will be reading for a while catching up.
Bulldawg Bob2 Lucas Rogers Heath Holland heath is still alive? thought he died from not eating food #
Lucas Rogers Bulldawg Bob2 Heath Holland Yep. Need to keep him at home
I will say this, the turnaround in the Netori recruitment was some excellent stuff… I mean this guy had UGA as his 3rd favorite school behind the scenes before the weekend, now he is on the commit list on Tuesday. This G-Day experience REALLY hit a homerun with these dudes. UGA took over the lead for Blount who was leaning Bama and Holloman who was slightly favoring Tennessee. These 2 dudes are UGA biggest priorities at WR this class along with Nico Collins. RIGHT NOW, I do not see Xavier Jenkins ending up in this class.
Lucas Rogers Most of that activity will come later
Bulldawg Bob2 Lucas Rogers Heath Holland Aubrey Solomon. Need to get him on board
What linebackers do you think we end up with? Seems like we’ve got about 32 different 4 star guys listing us in their top group!
Greg Poole Lucas Rogers nah not sure on that one
It’s been a little quiet on the defensive line recruiting front for 2017 so far, specifically at defensive tackle, who do you see Georgia looking good for Lucas Rogers Heath Holland ?
Lucas Rogers If it’s 5, they will take more in-state PWOs – any ideas there?
MMCSDAWG Think they finish with 5
Heath Holland Avon Barksdale UGA wants all corners and all over 6 feet
Heath Holland Avon Barksdale Hopefully Jaden can help reel him in
Avon Barksdale Yes. A.J. Terrell is very good.
Avon Barksdale he ran the fastest time in the nation at the Rivals Speed Challenge… watch his film, 6’2 CB that will STRIKE you. Long arms too, hes a bad dude. I would expect his ranking to steadily climb. Lecounte is the best player in GA for 2017 class.
Bulldawg Bob2 That’s Yuge
Bulldawg Bob2 Greg Poole I think just use the word Netori for huge lol
Bulldawg Bob2 Lucas Rogers Over 25 IMO
Greg Poole How many synonyms are there for “huge?”
BenKellam lol
Greg Poole Very important. All the recruits told me they didn’t know UGA had that good of fan base, and how important that is to them.
MMCSDAWG I’d like at least 10 more. We have no room for more than 15 OLs this year.
Greg Poole I’ve talked with Jacoby a good bit and he really likes UGA and Coach Smart and Tucker.
MMCSDAWG I will not to see 6 OL ‘ships
Greg Poole not seeing it with Mykelle situation… Jacoby = YES.
Greg Poole The news with JAcoby pushing his date up is good news. Him and Max Wray training together is also really good. I really like UGA chances here. I have my CB in for him to Georgia
Wow Terrell is that good?? Him plus LeCounte, Poole, and Stevens would be nasty!
Sitting back trying to follow along. Still not that easy on phone lol. Keep it coming guys! How many more offensive lineman do we take on 17 and who you think we finish with?
Bulldawg Bob2 Lucas Rogers crazydawg87 Maryland at the moment. Think things kind of went off track with him. He will be back this summer though, so will see what happens then
Bulldawg Bob2 Lucas Rogers crazydawg87 McFarland isn’t coming to UGA. Miami or Maryland
How important was the 93K?
Lucas Rogers @Heath Holland How big is Georgia’s 2017 class likely to be? Will they sign over 25?
Avon Barksdale He really really likes Georgia… gonna be an absolute battle to the finish with Tennessee and Bama. Family ties at UTk may be tough to overcome. FWIW, AJ Terrell is a better DB prospect than Gibbs imo
Lucas Rogers crazydawg87 What about Anthony McFarland, Jr. ?
crazydawg87 I think 2. Toneil Carter, Trey Sermon, D’andre Swift, Cam Akers are most likely IMO
Lucas Rogers So if we really have 10, the class is basically full. How many spots do we have this year?
Greg Poole TtownDawg Pretty much the same thing everyday.Boring! Lol
