HOW MANY DAYS
TILL
UGA vs UNC?
Brooklyndawg Keep in mind that Saban isn’t the one out on the front lines actually doing the recruiting, his position coaches are, so it’s unlikely that Davis is being scapegoated for something someone else did.
DawgByte AlphaDawg DawgLink I will agree!
AlphaDawg He will be a great player somewhere, hope it is at the G! His Coaches are trying to get him to go to UGA. And he really likes Kirby. He should be around 250 by start of football.
TtownDawg Bulldawg Bob2 Didnt want Muschimp to come after him. That temper…
Bulldawg Bob2 Did he say it was “safe ” to re-open his recruitment?
Yeah it wasn’t a mistake to strap a gas mask attached to a bong to your head and lighting it. That was absolutely intentional…
So is Bo the latest victim/scapegoat to get thrown under a bus, and no one else had the first clue? Really?
And it was official around Noon, but Bo Davis has indeed resigned per Alabama and Nick Saban.

Reddawg13 BenKellam Bulldawg Bob2 I’m bad at typing apparently.
BenKellam Bulldawg Bob2 huh?
Bulldawg Bob2 Nice. Can’t say I hate to the the game chicken suffer.
Bulldawg36 Bad as I want UGA to be represented on the Falcons I want them to draft whatever makes them a winner. Winning matters most to me.
Bulldawg Bob2 I hope Meyers bowels lock in the open position and he poops himself to death!
Class of 2017 JUCO WR out of Hinds C.C. – Stephen Guidry – has reopened back his recruitment.

DawgByte Bulldawg Bob2 I’m not sure how much talent the schools from other conferences and up north will be able to pilfer from the southeast.
I think the Texas and California schools have to be more concerned than even Florida and Georgia though.
As far as the NCAA’s decision goes, no idea.
Bulldawg Bob2 DawgByte Why in the world would the NCAA, who can’t even manage their own current set of rules, want to create a situation where they have to create a whole chapter of new one’s and then have to monitor them? They’ve just created more work for themselves in placating to schools, who are finding they need to leverage these type of gimmicks to generate more publicity for their program and pilfer more talent from the Southeast.
I posted my way too early post-spring pre-season WR depth chart in Huck’s Projected Offensive Depth Chart article, but I wanted to share it here.

Here is how I have the receivers after spring practice and the G-Day game with the receivers currently on the roster.

If Javon Wims can stay healthy and gets the playbook down when he gets to UGA over the summer, I think he can crack the top 4 spots. Tyler Simmons could end up being a guy that Chaney and Coley use out of the slot and move around with his speed and athleticism.
And then there is Charlie Woerner. Like Wims, if he can stay healthy and get the playbook down, he’ll play. His size and athleticism is a big time weapon in the red zone as well as short yardage situations.
Bansai buckeroo He is perpetuating it in my opinion!
DawgByte Bulldawg Bob2 It will be interesting to see how the camps are regulated or if it will be a free-for-all.
Bulldawg Bob2 Those NCAA idiots have created a hornets nest. They should have stuck with their original decision. Spineless fools.
Ohio State is going to a camp at Central Gwinnett on June 16th

Bulldawg36 Or maybe there is a lot of truth in what the coach said.
Rescue Dawg Thank you Rescue Dawg.
CLTDawg AlphaDawg Atlanta picks 19th in the 2nd round, but you are correct. It is the 50th overall pick

DawgLink Yeah, he’s my all time sports legend hero. I’ve studied his views on hitting to the nth-degree. Guy was a hitting genius. One of these days when I get time during the recruiting lull, I’m going to post some material on what he did and compare it to what gets taught today in HS, college, and in some instances; in MLB. It took me a few years, but when I finally figured out what he was saying when it came to hitting, it was a revelation. It’s fun teaching kids how to hit using his philosophy. The kids really take to it too.
BenKellam Bulldawg Bob2 Bulldawg36 Aye
websater I’m looking forward to watching Lorenzo Carter earn many many millions of dollars for himself this season.
Kind of makes me feel better about Pruitt being gone! Floyd is an outside backer all the way!!!!!
Bulldawg Bob2 Bulldawg36 Wouldn’t mind them taking Jordan Jenkins. Especially if hes still around in the 3rd round.
ZippyMorocco dsw61 Honestly its all just pc bs on their part. They are upset that they got caught. But they phrased it correctly. Pressing the wrong button is an accident. They didn’t accidentally smoke a gas mask bong but they did make a mistake.
Is a coach supposed to play kids where they will perform the best or where they need them the most? The two are not always the same.
Bulldawg36 It all depends on if a UGA player is there when they get ready to pick.
Are the Falcons gonna draft any UGA players???? The Falcons better be thankful they’re in the state of Georgia or I wouldn’t like them!!!!!!!!
ZippyMorocco dsw61 Well put. A mistake is drinking three shots of whiskey when you only meant to drink two:)
websater Totally agree he was misused. Pruitt had him playing all over the place. I would not have had him dropping into coverage. Pruitt was using Lorenzo in a similar way. The NCAA allows something like 10 hours of practice time per week. That’s not a lot of time to teach a player to be a jack of all trades. I know Pruitt was leaning on the upper classmen because of all the young players on defense, but it seems like putting a premium on pressuring the QB pays dividends.
AlphaDawg DawgLink I think he can do it, that’s all I’ll say.
AlphaDawg Does this “scandal” deter other teams from hiring him?
dsw61
That is my all time pet peeve. It wasn’t a mistake. He meant to smoke weed and take money. A mistake is when you press the wrong button on a vending machine.
Ted Williams considered going 0 for 3 a slump. Man was bad with a piece of wood in his hands
DawgLink I’m down for letting him give it a shot
Big shoes to fill there

CLTDawg dsw61 Interesting read. No doubt a lot of college kids smoke marijuana. I went to HS in the late 70s; in New Hamsphire; and lots of kids smoked marijuana. Many consider marijuana a gateway drug so there is a real risk of these kids moving on to more addictive drugs. And to think Ted Williams never drank anything stronger than a milkshake for fear it would dull his senses and reflexes. I know the guy was anal about hitting and probably went overboard with his dedication, but he may have had a point.
websater Don’t think we really had a choice. We put the best guy in the best place every week to win. I don’t think ILB is a good spot for a 6’4 guy either but Pruitt had to make due
dsw61 I’m mad at the National guys saying “well you should consider deleting your social media if you’re a player” ….uh no, you should consider not doing illegal things or violating NCAA rules
dsw61
There is no question Tunsil fell in the draft and it cost him some serious cash.
As far as Nkemdiche goes this guy appears to have some very serious issues.
Brooklyndawg Takes a season like last season to do it.
“Just do it, Pruitt”, aka our savior. How quickly the worms turn….lol
RobDawg They just got a pro bowl center in the offseason.
Just very bad and innacurate writing and “reporting” They meant to say, made the mistskes of getting vaught
