UGA Football Recruiting 265 Comments

Author /

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.

    PTCDawg I don’t believe holloman or Salyer will commit in July, but the others are a strong possibility.  I just think Salyer will wait a little while and possibly enjoy some visits before settling on the Dawgs!  Holloman is enjoying the recruiting dance way too much to commit now and close it down.  I have no inside knowledge JMO…

  3. PTCDawg

    Are all of the following strong candidates for a July announcement?

    Swift, Carter, Holloman, Webb, Bishop, Thomas, Lawrence, Salyer, Terrell and Stevens?

    Are there any I missed?

  4. MMCSDAWG

    DawgDaddy AlphaDawg Right, he might surpass a few single season records but career records will stand.

  5. MMCSDAWG

    PTCDawg BahitsDawg  Almost every time!  5 turnovers will kill you, no matter how good your team is.

  8. PTCDawg

    BahitsDawg the thing to keep in mind when Ole Miss players start talking about ‘owning’ Bama or people talk about stats or anything else related to that two game streak…no matter how good a team is they are pretty much going to lose if they go -5 in turnovers.

  14. MMCSDAWG

    DawgDaddy Greg Poole Me either, matter of fact I’m betting on it!  lol   Unless something unforeseen happens between now and Sept 3…  I’m still convinced Eason starts the game.

  16. DawgDaddy

    Greg Poole It did and I agree with the author, but I am not sure that Eason won’t be the starter from game one.

  18. Bulltoad

    BahitsDawg They had a replay last night of the Alabama Ole Miss game on TV and I watched a bit while fiipping channels.  When i was watching it was the fluke play to start second half where ole miss scored on the deflection.  I believe Chad Kelly had only thrown for 30 yards in the first half.  Bama started gambling as game wore on because they were down trying to create turnovers.  Chad Kelly had a fumble that was returned for a touchdown after a sack but they ruled it a pass happened when I was watching.  They started blitzing and leaving corners one on one.

  19. AlphaDawg

    BahitsDawg AlphaDawg Maybe a few, but I don’t know if he’ll beat out Aaron Murray on some just because Eason probably won’t be around as long.

  20. RumRunnerDoogie

    BahitsDawg RumRunnerDoogie jwp1983 Dawgnation89 doing it yea, not really watching it

  22. RumRunnerDoogie

    jwp1983 RumRunnerDoogie BahitsDawg Dawgnation89 most of the family did since my cousin was a walk on that year. im converted most of them…well the ones who care about football, most prefer rugby

  23. jwp1983

    RumRunnerDoogie BahitsDawg Dawgnation89 Did your dad pull for Hawaii in the Sugar Bowl?

  25. BahitsDawg

    AlphaDawg I think he is going to end up owning a bunch of UGA QB records.  We have the supporting cast and hopefully the offensive coaching brain power to help him get’er done.

  27. AlphaDawg

    “Jacob Eason is going to end up as Georgia’s starting quarterback this season, the only question is when.”

    MMCSDAWG We are going to be adding some well-known UGA writers in July. It should be fun.

  39. MMCSDAWG

    Greg Poole BahitsDawg It can’t get much better than this!  But we really appreciate all that you and the other do!

  40. Greg Poole

    dsw61 It will be more of a challenge at UGA this year but as their recruiting improves quality depth the staff will be able to dominate folks.

  41. Greg Poole

    BahitsDawg  He is not a fan at all – true or otherwise. Many CFB fans mistakenly things that sportswriters are fans of the teams they cover when nothing could be further from the truth.  Hardly any of the newspaper guys are fans, Bill King with the AJC is a notable exception.

  42. MMCSDAWG

    BahitsDawg Exactly, Sony you haven’t let anyone down!  Keep working hard and get back on the field young man!  Nothing wrong with what happened, like the tee shirt says…   Sh(* happens.  Your a DGD and I look forward to seeing you trample another gamecock real soon!

  43. BahitsDawg

    btw, I haven’t seen a Seth Emerson article on the AJC in a while.  Has he moved on?  He is a good writer, but not a true Dawg fan.  He is the prototypical sports journalist gun slinger.

  45. MMCSDAWG

    dsw61 BahitsDawg I agree, contain him in the pocket and force him to throw down field, overload the short to intermediate routes and force him to beat you over the top…  let Carter loose to rush only, bring the occasional zone blitz from various angles and punish Dobbs if he decides to leave the pocket!

  48. BahitsDawg

    Greg Poole It seems like a huge waste of time.   Spend the saved hours with the grand kids.

  49. BahitsDawg

    MMCSDAWG BahitsDawg AlphaDawg It was my attempt at a nod to a famous movie quote.

    SEC Media days is coming up and we are not going.  After my experience last year, I can tell you that it is mostly a media feeding frenzy. The funniest part to me was Radio Row. Stations from across the South set up at table and, essentially, interview each other. Occasionally, someone with an athletic pedigree makes his way along the Row, the usual subjects for interviews are media mavens.
    Of course, players and coaches arrive, smile for the cameras and spout playerspeak and coachspeak for a few minutes – until replaced by the next batch.
    SEC Media Days may be the most boring event I have ever attended.
