UGA Football Recruiting 265 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  For Father’s day, his family surprised him and got him tickets to one of the NBA finals games in Cleveland.  He was treated like a rock star on the pre-game show as they literally interviewed him for the better part of 10 minutes (which I don’t think was planned as, according to Miles, he didn’t even know that they were driving to Cleveland for the game).  Hard to fathom that he was apparently a coin flip away from being fired last year.

    Sorry if I’m a little slow on this topic as I know it’s been discussed on multiple occasions.  I know that CKS prefers to have lots of events/camps and recruits in virtually every week/weekend that is allowed rather than having one huge event similar to DawgNight, Big Cat weekend (or whatever goofy name the Barn uses), etc.  Does that mean that we won’t have a single, more prestigious event in which the top recruits/targets come in for the weekend?  Regardless of the answer, it certainly doesn’t seem to be hurting recruiting at all and I know some of the recruits at last year’s event said that DawgNight had gotten so big that they got to spend no time with the staff.  However, it seems like these events (on a much smaller scale than prior year) continue to build momentum heading into the HS football season and we always seem to have a couple of big time recruits commit at the event (Eason and Big Ben come to mind).  Just wondering as summer is rapidily coming to an end (my daughter starts her Junior year at SPx on August 3 with the first high school football games kicking off on August 19).

    Greg Poole Anything price is better than putting Booch on the stand and the AD knows it.

    Greg Poole I still say UNC’s lack of experience at LB likely means Georgia’s TEs will be open all day. Big targets requiring short easy throws, minimal progressions, and minimal pass protection. I would think Eason can handle that scenario as good as Lambert. Plus the QB will have a RB or FB to dump the ball off to if he gets confused. One thing I’m certain of; if Spurrier were HC or OC; Eason would be starting and he would figure out a way to move the ball with him at QB. Yes he might throw a visor or two; but he would get it done with Eason.

    Greg Poole WOW, some of those comments are crazy.  I am assuming this is in regards to ALL of the sexual harassment and rape lawsuits filed against them.

    Greg Poole Hummmmmmmmm, there’s confidence and then there’s over confidence.

    The seas to be the conventional wisdom of the effect of the Sony Michel injury. 2 things: I doubt that he misses the play and to the extent that starting Lambert means a less productive, but also less risky, offense – this staff could go in the opposite direction. That is, if Sony cannot play, they may decide to start Eason to give the offense lift. 
    My prediction – Sony plays, Chubb plays, Eason starts in the Dawgs roll.

    From Cornelius Washington’s hometown paper:
    LOOKING BACK{this week in Burke County history}10 YEARS AGO – JULY 12, 2006 Cornelius Washington, a rising junior at BCHS, received an early offer to play football for the University of Georgia. The 6’5” Washington played tight end and defensive end for the Bears and received his verbal offer while attending UGA’s football camp.
