UGA Football Recruiting 367 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 Might be Smart keeping the announcement in his back pocket. Gotta keep the hype going.

    Greg Poole Bulltoad WLOCP is one of the reasons that it is Great to be a Georgia Bulldog !

  5. 1mandawgpack

    Greg Poole  I think CMR is going to struggle with disciple issues on that team and in that part of Florida.  I really hope not as I wish him the best, but think that some of the “culture” on that team (that started back in their national title days) is going to take a monumental effort to change.

  7. Bulltoad

    Doc R I want to see the off air video.  Apparently Saban went off on the whole crew.  Sounds like it was an eye opener to Dahri

  9. 1mandawgpack

    Bulltoad  I actually hope that we play in some different places like JerryWorld in Dallas.  I would really like to visit that venue and would really like to do it with a team playing that I actually cared about, like the Dawgs.  For that reason alone, I wouldn’t be a fan of locking into the same venue for a multi-year contract.

  10. 1mandawgpack

    MMCSDAWG Greg Poole  As the old saying goes, “you can’t fix dumb” and unfortunately, IC has shown a tendency to not put much thought into many of his poor decisions, so I’m not sure Watson can actually help him.

  11. BahitsDawg

    AlphaDawg Greg Poole Hopefully, they will love Athens, will be very successful, and will want to stay a long time.

  13. BahitsDawg

    BenKellam AlphaDawg I think we all have what Arky currently has as HC figured out too.

  14. 1mandawgpack

    godawgs678 MMCSDAWG PTCDawg  I agree 100% with taking Webb.  While it is true that taking Webb increases our chances with Swift, I don’t at all see this as a “cootie-ship” as Webb is a very attractive prospect on his own.  Some of his ratings were listed in another response and his skillset is of sufficient quality to get an invitation to The Opening.  So, if he wants to commit (which seems to be the case as he says we’re his clear leader), then I think we take him even if Swift makes a different decision.

    While I really enjoyed watching The Opening, I don’t think that it is as important to determining if a kid can compete with other “elite” talent as others seem to think.  For example, I think that a mobile QB is at a disadvantage in a 7 v 7 format because they can’t use their legs to help increase the effectiveness of their passing.  That said, I enjoyed seeing Fromm’s armstrength, leadership skills, etc. and would still be excited to have him on our team even if he had been rated last at The Opening.  I was a little disappointed in the number of balls that Holloman seemed to drop as I’m of a firm belief that if the ball touches a WRs hands, it should be caught.  However, he may have things keeping him occupied this Summer and may have been a bit rusty going into the competition, so if that’s the case, some of the drops may be understandable.

    Greg Poole This article reminds me of something I read a few days ago from Football scoop – The 7 unwritten rules of the coaching profession. This is #2 of the article. Your article made me think about how 2 people trying meshing their ideas together as one can go well or terribly bad. It’s wonderful to know our two already work well together there. HUGE plus

    2 – Understand the importance in putting personal differences to the side for the sake of the kids, and the program
    Coaching football is a unique profession because it brings together people from all different walks of life – and that goes for both players and coaches. That means that chances are really good that at some point in your coaching career you’re going to have to coach alongside someone that you don’t see eye to eye with on life, drills, scheme, and/or overall coaching philosophy. However, if you both understand what is best for the kids, and the program, and can get on the same page (along with the head coach’s vision) with that in mind, it makes working together much, much easier for all involved.

    Bansai buckeroo Crowell isn’t known for great ideas.  That stolen gun with the scratched off serial number says a lot.

  21. AlphaDawg

    Greg Poole That history was the reason we got them! and Hopefully get to hang onto them for a long time! They both said the money wasn’t the factor it was working together.

  22. MMCSDAWG

    Doc R He should be ASHAMED!  Of course he won’t be…  i all about the “Process” but I’m not about this!

  24. AlphaDawg

    Greg Poole We play Ole Miss away before them. They play UF home before us. It’s kind of a wash to me. If they finally beat UF after 11 years, they’ll be on a high like no other

  27. Doc R

    saban just got testy with the guys about the lack of discipline/suspensions etc—funny to watch

  28. godawgs678

    MMCSDAWG godawgs678 PTCDawg Yes sir. And he’s not too shabby. #15 WR Nationally according to 247 and #11 according to Rivals.

  29. AlphaDawg

    MMCSDAWG godawgs678 PTCDawg Correct. I’m with the assumption we get Holloman and Webb and the WR class is done….for now

  30. Doc R

    MMCSDAWG Greg Poole Agree—Ben Watson seems like a class act all the way—-unlike Crowbar

  31. MMCSDAWG

    godawgs678 MMCSDAWG PTCDawg  oh yeah, that’s our prospective RB’s teammate right??

  34. MMCSDAWG

    Greg Poole Not Savy enough to keep him from putting his whole leg in his mouth!  Very disappointing episode for Mr. Crowell.   On the other hand, I didn’t see it live, but heard about Ben Watson being on Fox news show last night and let me tell you, he is very articulate and has a future in broadcasting or public speaking.  I re-watched his interview with one of their host and it was Impressive!  I suggest maybe he give Crowell a call and offer him some advise!

  35. MMCSDAWG

    Bulltoad I live in Jax, so I have a very biased opinion.  Although, after last year, I was definitely ready to end the WLOCP!  I say we keep the  WLOCP and play a neutral site top level game as a season opener, thereby getting the advantage of recruiting in Jax and in Texas, Miami, Orlando, or where ever else they want to do one of those games!

  38. MMCSDAWG

    PTCDawg I think we take Holliman and done, but if Nico wants to come, there will always be a spot for him.  There’s one thing that we have to get used to, we are going to be included in a lot of targets top 3-5!  Recruiting is definitely different now!

  40. PTCDawg

    Saw in a dawgnation article that we still had a decent shot at Nico Collins. I havent been keeping an eye on him for some time thinking we had no chance. THAT would be a nice surprise!

  43. MMCSDAWG

    Greg Poole AlphaDawg    Act like you’ve been there before, opps, I forgot, none of you have been there before.

  44. Bulltoad

    Greg Poole Bulltoad I could see this as helping in recruiting.  If we could get big time teams agree it could become a great tradition.  I don’t see playing in Atlanta or Texas as being more beneficial to recruting as playing in Jacksonville.

  45. Greg Poole

    AlphaDawg I’ll be completely shocked if you ever see a Kirby coached Georgia team behave like last year. He was on the field when UGA players were taunting Bama last year. You can bet that did not go unnoticed.

  46. Greg Poole

    Bulltoad  I think Kirby is going to continue to schedule kickoff game but he is not going to do it in one venue. I look for the Dawgs to follow Bama’s lead and play anywhere possible. When CKS makes a decision the first question to ask is, “In what way does this help recruiting?”

  47. Bulltoad

    What is evervones opinion of kickoff game in Jacksonville every year after the current contract expires with Florida.  I was listening to Gary Stokan? on Finebaum yesterday and he was talking about the many positives of the kickoff game and why they have become so popular.   Why not establish a new tradition of us playing a neutral site game in Jacksonsville on Labor day weekend.  The game could be a primetime game at 7:30pm or 8pm so temperature would not be an issue.  We could invite a different oppenent every year.  The South Georgia georgia fans could still have a game close and with it being a long weekend it would be a nice way to end the summer and usher in football season.

    It would enable us to go home and home with UF and eliminate the advantage we have given them.  Thoughts?

  48. TtownDawg

    MMCSDAWG BahitsDawg Greg Poole  That photo of him at the Bball game told me he wasn’t coming here, just something about that look.

    I think we will be fine and dandy without Pruitt. In our biggest games the last two years our defense failed to stop the run. Just want a defense who will shine in the big moments got to be able to stop the run in the sec.
