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.

    DawgLink naw they are saying smart will handle each case differently instead of a broad stroke type of deal

    Score Check Lucas Rogers MMCSDAWG Greg Poole Bansai buckeroo Of course I am just talking about UTk lol

    Ouch!  I’m sure you are talking more about UTk than the entire state.
    Correct?  Surely you have a corner on the market for all of the girls in the State who have their full set of choppers.

    Greg Poole Like that they threw Walker in there as well.  I’m looking for a good season out of D. Walker.  He might not be on the field early against running teams, but he will be out there in passing situations and against those spread teams.   Re-watching our spring game this weekend just reinforced what I thought I had seen in him.  He is quick and has long arms!  He could be dangerous off the end or in a 5 technique.

  5. Lucas Rogers

    MMCSDAWG Greg Poole Bansai buckeroo Word on the street is, he likes girls with teeth, and unfortunately TN does not have that.

  6. RumRunnerDoogie

    Greg Poole if they dont step up it might be a long fall defending against the pass

  7. MMCSDAWG

    Greg Poole MMCSDAWG Then I like our chances!   Clemson is still a RPO spread type offense.  If he wants to be a pro, come be a part of a Pro-style offense and it will improve your draft rankings!

  8. WaterlooDawg

    RumRunnerDoogie Bansai buckeroo It does seem smart for a very high ranked qb to commit early. It should increase his odds of getting some great WRs to commit in his class and the class ahead of him.

  9. RumRunnerDoogie

    Bansai buckeroo having probably the #1 player in 2018 will probably kick start some commits for that class too

  10. Greg Poole

    Bansai buckeroo  I was skeptical of Lawrence while UT was in the picture (one of his parents went there). Now, I think he will be a Dawg.

  11. Bansai buckeroo

    I think we have an excellent shot here….. Eason, Fromm and Lawrence? Just smh..

  12. MMCSDAWG

    Bansai buckeroo I’m hoping he pulls the trigger for the Dawgs by the end of July!!   Our QB situation is going to be fine for the next 6-7 years.   Did anyone see the highlights of Fromm from the opening on Saturday?  Wow, he impressed the hell out of me.  He has a definite quality about him and he can make all the throws.  I was very impressed with his talents!

  13. Greg Poole

    Bansai buckeroo  The current thinking is that he announces this month of early August

  14. Bansai buckeroo

    What’s the chances Lawrence making a decision by the end of the month? I have read he will not string this thing out even though he is just a junior……

  15. RumRunnerDoogie

    Greg Poole RumRunnerDoogie ahh gotcha. figured it was a name i havent heard much of. That and the opening apparently has no rosters that include numbers

  16. BahitsDawg

    MMCSDAWG dawgmum He needs to be assigned a teammate at all times.  A non-drinking, straight shooter teammate.  A mentor.

  17. RumRunnerDoogie

    anyone have any idea who this is? i keep seeing his picture related to UGA news but behind a paid wall

  18. BahitsDawg

    MMCSDAWG Greg Poole I believe the type of crime (not stealing) and his attitude of remorse which seems to be sincere, is why we didn’t kick him off.  Plus, the being a little cynical – he is better than walk-on talent.

    I really hope for his, his family and the University’s sake, he never has another problem and has a great career here and hopefully in the NFL.   Stay clean Mr. Ledbetter!  I think we all are pulling for you.

  19. MMCSDAWG

    Greg Poole You have our support young man.  Get healthy and we will worry about football later.  First thing is getting the help you need and I’m proud that we didn’t throw him out of school.

  20. BahitsDawg

    16 uncommitted 247 5 stars

    It looks like we have a reasonable shot at JaCoby Stevens, D’Andre Swift.

    OSU has a good shot at Chase Young, Trevon Grimes, Tyjon Lindsey, Jeffrey Okudah.

    with >50% chance being considered “reasonable”

    Bama is listed on several recruits top 5, but not with a high %.  Surprisingly, FSU and Clemson don’t have a lot of leans in the five star ranks.   Both those teams are in my expected “will climb into top 5” having only 11 commits each and being at #8 and #10.

    dawgmum I totally agree, he needs help.  it concerns me that he is by himself in a car that late at night on a weekend.  Where are his teammates? Is he a loner? I would think that he would be out with his buddies.  I know we traveled in groups when I was in college.  This kid needs help and regardless of his football talents, I hope we are able to get it for him!

    Here is the UGA statementATHENS——-The arrest on DUI charges of University of Georgia defensive end Jonathan Ledbetter will result in discipline; however, it will also result in an intensified education, counseling, and medical assistance program.
    “Certainly we are disappointed and recognize he has a serious problem,” said UGA head football coach Kirby Smart.  “We have provided help for him previously and we are committed to providing whatever assistance is necessary for Jonathan that will contribute to immediate improvement but also ensure that his long-term well-being is secure.”
    “First I want to apologize to my family, my teammates and coaches, the University and the Bulldog Nation,” said Ledbetter.  “I have a problem and have received an incredible amount of support and treatment through the Athletic Department for the problem.  For that I am thankful.  I ask for everyone’s support as I continue to receive additional treatment for this disease and work toward a healthy life.”…

  23. Greg Poole

    dawgmum  That is what they should do. Technically, this is his first offense. It previous charges were dropped.

  24. Greg Poole

    BenKellam It is a 3 day event. If the previous camps this summer are a guide there will be campers for the 3 days and others that camp for a day – additionally there will be unofficial visits. This will be changing day to day.

  25. dawgmum

    According to reports, Ledbetter will not be kicked off the team. They’re going to try to work with him. I hope he makes it.
