SCHEDULED DECISION ANNOUNCEMENTS

List of prospects who have scheduled announcements.The percentage is my confidence on a recruit committing to listed school.

Dec. 27th, 8:00 p.m. – Cam Akers – 2017 RB (early enrollee) – 55% FSU, but don’t count out LSU, Mississippi State, or Ole Miss. UGA has an outside shot here, but not likely.

 

Announcements at the Under Armour All-American Game:

Jan. 1st – DeAngelo Gibbs – 2017 DB (early enrollee) – 95% UGA

Jan. 1st – Xavier McKinney – 2017 DB (early enrollee) – 95% Clemson

 

Announcements at the U.S Army All-American Game:

Jan. 7th – Jeffrey Okudah – 2017 DB (early enrollee) – 90% Ohio State

 

No Scheduled Announcements:

Could announce before January 1st:

Tray Bishop – 2017 DB – Decommitted from Auburn on Tuesday 12/13. 75% he flips to UGA, but Florida is also a possible landing spot.

Eric Stokes Jr. – 2017 CB – 95% sure he picks UGA if there is room, but I’m 50/50 on if there is an open spot for him at the moment.

Leonard Warner – 2017 ILB – 95% UGA. He could wait till NSD to announce his decision, but I don’t think he will.

Most likely will announce after January 1st:

Markaviest Bryant – 2017 WDE. 95% UGA. He could announce anytime between now and NSD.

Breon Dixon – 2017 LB – 75% Ole Miss, 20% Tennessee, 5% UGA. He could announce anytime between now and NSD.

Nico Collins – 2017 WR – 60% Michigan, 30% Alabama, 10%UGA. Collins announced on Monday that he will wait till Feb. 1st, NSD to announce his decision.

Aubrey Solomon – 2017 DT – 50/50 Michigan-Georgia battle. He could announce his decision during US Army All-American game on January 7th or wait till NSD.

Ameer Speed – 2017 CB – 90% Virginia Tech, 10% UNC. He could announce anytime between now and NSD.

Tyler Taylor – 2017 ILB – 50% UGA, 35% Oklahoma, 15% Auburn. He could announce anytime between now and NSD.

Tamorrion Terry – 2017 WR – Likely headed to JUCO or Prep.

    All of you who have been lurking around out there might as well come in from the cold. These dawg have teeth but they hardly ever bite.
    You can comment without registering.

    Well now I’m gonna have to figure out a way to get around our Internet client here at work. It blocks disqus and I thought there was a Major crash on the site all morning. Not sure how I’ll get around it but it stinks not having BI on one of my screens here at work.

        1. AlphaDawg

          a VPN will fix your problems real quick. If you work for a large company the IT dept might see the odd IP address but if it’s a small company I doubt they would say anything. Plus they might be impressed that you’re using one and give you the hook up on other things. Trust me. I’m that guy at work.

          1. AlphaDawg

            MY LAST POST IS ASSUMING YOUR NETWORK ISN’T THE PENTAGON. – I use PIA (private internet access) it’s $40 a year and it can be used on 5 devices. Good for security because you have a secure tunnel also good for blackout games because you can choose an IP anywhere in the world if you run into blocked sites because of regions.

  11. Joseph Kennedy

    I think if we beat TCU, the score will be 24-23. If we lose I’m gonna say by 31-27. I think we are only favoured by one point

  14. Realtor Dawg

    Good morning everyone! I hope everybody had a good holiday. I would like to wish everyone a prosperous year in 2017. A big thanks for all of you here who bring us the content for this site and the hard work needed to make it great.

  17. TeeHDawg

    As far as discussing attrition, transfers, and signees, I think we will have room for 26. The last going to Gibbs, Bishop, Solomon, Bryant,and Warner. That 6th spot should go to another WR or CB if the attrition works out right. A guy I would like to see us pursue is Robert Foster from Bama. He should graduate by summer. I’ve been pretty adamant about him transferring. He would fill an immediate need at WR if we are “short” a WR. Plus he playing for NFL money. We could also bring Holloman along slowly.

    1. Joseph Kennedy

      I think we miss out on Solomon and Nico. I don’t know how much more the staff could convince Solomon to stay home. I would be surprised if he didn’t know already where he is going

      1. TeeHDawg

        I’m kinda 50/50 on Solomon. I think he wants to leave but mom wants him close. I think she wins out in the end.
        But I agree we miss on Nico.

      1. RobDawg

        Yeah but there were teams that were killing it with ridiculous points there at the end. It was fun season. Congrats to Todd who had never played FF before for winning it

        1. DawgDaddy

          Yep but I also see an arrow after each comment that shows who the comment was to. How is tagging different?

  23. Greg Poole

    I posted this below and will continue to post throughout the day – LiveFyre is going to a pay model starting 02/01/2016. The lowest cost plan is $20k/year. BI ain’t buying. Disqus is a commenting platform that has been around for years and it works.

    1. TeeHDawg

      Wow. I really don’t blame anyone for that. $20k being their cheapestbplan is still pretty steep in my opinion.

      1. Greg Poole

        LF was bought by Adobe Systems and they are changing the focus to market toward large corporations. They have added some great features, but it is going to take a Fortune 500 company to afford them.

    1. Dawgman34

      Everytime something bad happens to Auburn I smile inside and remember nick fairly trying to kill Aaron murry

        1. Dawgman34

          My hate for Auburn makes me pull for whoever they are playing be them out of conference or not… the hate is strong!

        1. Joseph Kennedy

          No I’m not mad at bob. Lol. My wife didn’t want me to get on here for Christmas. I had to give her a break

  29. Dawgman34

    Anyone notice how bad Detroit o-line played last night… felt bad for stafford running around trying to make plays. If he had a line as good as Dallas I think Detroit would be hard to handle! I think that’s some of why Dak looks like an all world quarterback… having a clean pocket for 5-6 seconds would make me look like a descent passer lol

      1. Bansai Buckeroo

        Actually livefyre was not a who lot better than burnzone as far as having it hang and refresh …maybe a little.

  33. RobDawg

    I like this new message board service. Just noticed the little up and down arrows for like and unlike. This could get interesting with an unlike choice now….

    1. DawgDaddy

      Yep, I just unliked this comment and nothing happened though, lol. I guess someone has to like it first.

    2. RRTrackDawg70s

      Greg if you see this message, I have been with you guys for many years and have not been able to post for a number of years. Went by the name of RRTrackDawg70s I believe. My email is ccbennett@isa.atlanta.com Not a big deal, I’ve not posted since SOCRATES “moved”…I will always be with you guys reading regardless.
      DAWGS! DAWGS DAWGS!

    1. Dawgman34

      This guy is related to Richard lecount if I’m not mistaken.. I have a coworker that’s also related to lecount that keeps me in the loop 😉

      1. Rickpope2330

        Believe they are cousins. Someone may the comment about him playing with his cuz for a few years

  38. Rickpope2330

    A lot of people seem to think we have a legit shot at landing Akers tonight. What u guys think? Dude is a freak no doubt

    1. Bansai Buckeroo

      I haven’t seen anything saying we have a shot with him. Where are you seeing this? I would be very very surprised…

    2. DawgDaddy

      I wish I felt that way too, it would make his announcement much more exciting. Right now I feel zero excitement about it.

    4. AlphaDawg

      I don’t think so imo. but I keep hearing UT is getting more confident. I wouldn’t expect them to get him either though.

    1. Greg Poole

      LiveFyre would not show for me this morning. That was when I started checking and found that the service was going to be killed on 02/01/2016.

  41. Greg Poole

    I found out late yesterday that Livefyre was changing its business model (it has been aquired by Adobe) and beginning February 1 will cost $20k per year to have on a site. Needlwss to say, that is a bit more than BI wanted to spend.

        1. Bansai Buckeroo

          Burnzone had a lot of nice features but was a pain in the arse…. At least for mobile devices…

      1. DawgDaddy

        Morning Bb, I don’t know as yet, probably go back to the Kool-Aid one and let ‘er be. I am drinking it as far as CKS is concerned, he’s my coach! lol

    1. Greg Poole

      Hey, sorry for the hassle with the commenting system. I was shocked to learn that LiveFyre was going away, but thought we might as well get a head-start on it before we approach NSD

  48. Greg Poole

    Livefyre is going away at the end of January. We have to find another commenting system. Disqus has been around for a long time and is used by a lot of sites. We’ll see.
